Of course, all things are not equal between the US and Africa, so the comparison isn't worth mentioning.
They are approved differently, as is detailed further in the article.

I already stated the difference may just be the label. Or perhaps like the difference between name brand and generic. I explicitly stated there's no reason to believe there's any difference in safety or efficacy.

My commentary is about skirting liability laws, not efficacy or safety.

it has been a multi-pronged assault on people.

they have appealed to people who love to have any authority over others, because now they have a personal "moral high ground" to impose restrictions and their will on others.

they have appealed to what is probably mostly those that are intellectuals (or percieve themselves to be) with the whole "trust the science" crowd. At the same time we conveniently forget all the evidence of how science has been deeply corrupted, and "well the science changed".

but it has also, very frighteningly so, exposed that people have almost no memory, and way too high trust in authorities. looking back at all the directly insane things governments have done and pushed their citizens to endure, it has also often come with "trust the science" or whatever equivelant thing used back then. Would you line up for the DDT spraying in the streets now? and lead was surely safe in the gasoline. but now of course things are different! the government couldnt possibly be wrong now? and if you think they might be?

>> But how sad does your life have to be if you're dumping all this money and time to having a blue checkmark next to your name.

I follow a popular trader on IG and she sells courses for ~1500 USD. A slew of look-alike IG accounts try to sell pirated videos of her course for 100 USD. The fake accounts follow followers of the real account and DM them.

It isn't about having a blue checkmark next to her name nor vanity. I think its literally about protecting her profession as an instructor who has sunk quite a bit of time and effort into a course.
Unless there is a strict requirement to co-host your PHP with your database, I'd consider using a separate managed Postgres service.

Those are even better than fully-managed hosting because they abstract the database scaling and backups, etc. and manage it all for you and give you just the DB you can access.

When they rolled out their donation feature, they were using a UI dark pattern which lead users to believe site owners were registered on the platform, not unlike Facebook shadow accounts, and were accepting donations for users on their behalf. AND they had a policy that only notified said non-users after their accumulated donations they didn't know they had broke a certain threshold. $200 iirc. Here's a thread[1] detailing the issue and you'll see Brave team members trying to explain those shadow accounts away as a "UI bug".

How is that? There are 10 metro areas in the US alone with a population greater than all of Norway.

There are, what, 200,000 or so Teslas in Norway? With massive oil reserves and massive wind farms. How exactly does what Norway has accomplished scale to the US? Or to China?

The amount of cars in Norway is about 1% of the amount in the US.

> there are things that you can't fix through iteration

> Yes! I spent a year iterating...for precisely this reason

Seems like you're presenting a counter-point while simultaneously agreeing.
The notion of open in software and in academia is different, that for sure. But does that make one or the other wrong? My friends doing physics or math don't understand the hate at all when I discuss it with them. From their point of view, you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to read it = it's open. The research is there, code is left as exercise to the reader - that's also normal to them... And the notion of giving away free compute time is funny to them. Run your own cluster, they say.

I'm not saying I agree with them, I'm a software person and open means to me what it means to you. I'd prefer if it was truly open by our definition. But I don't think we can bash the choice of the word so easily.

This is the way. I believe a simple 45-minute exercise one-on-one between a programmer and a candidate is all you need to gather the necessary information to hire. Simple followup questions like, "Before you start coding, talk me through your thought process and let's discuss a few implementations", "What's another way to solve this problem?" will weed out any bullshitters, and even find hidden strengths in candidates that would never be discovered in an automated Leetcode type interview.

Exactly their position and they are right. Cloudflare also protects good things which are illegal in less good places. Every action they take to take content down weakens their position that they are neutral which allows them to keep up the argument that they aren’t there to enforce laws in places where the laws are quite a bit more disagreeable.

Do you want them to be forced to deplatform planned parenthood in states where abortion is now illegal? There are certainly a lot of people in this country who think PP is far worse than 8chan.

When they realize how useless the vaccines and boosters are. Studies by Pfizer, Moderna, etc already show effects of the vaccines against COVID-19 last only for a few days.

At some point the sensationalism about COVID-19 will fade away and we will we back to normal, with lots of other illnesses (many of them a lot worse than COVID-19), and viruses, and all of that. Outside the Western world, unvaccinated people just go on with their lives and guess what, bodies are not piled up on the streets. Maybe the new variants are milder, maybe there was just a lot of fear when the first wave happened and COVID-19 countermeasures caused many of the deaths. We will probably never know.

Musk didn't "decide for us," he made a product that's attractive to consumers. If the companies working on fuel cells and hydrogen manage to do the same, then maybe those will actually have an impact.

The other reason electrics have done well is that battery costs have plummeted. If the trend continues, electric cars will be cheaper than ICE in a couple years.

Meanwhile, fuel cells are still quite expensive, and hydrogen has a chicken-and-egg problem since it would require extensive new infrastructure. That's not a problem for electrics, where you can plug in even if you're the only electric in town.

Yeah, we're going to need plenty of electricity. But that's a given, if we're going to decarbonize transportation. That's true even if you're running on hydrogen: if you're using "green hydrogen" from electrolysis then you're still using electricity. If you're using hydrogen made from natural gas, then you're effectively still burning fossil fuels.
Yeah. I used to be a dev, going to be a dev again soon (currently working on a legal tech startup).
MS uses git with Azure DevOps, at least for all the repos I'm familiar with.
Massive roll-outs of either takes a lot of time and resources. There's also no guarantee that a build-out starting today will even be relevant in 13 years - just look at the warpspeed progress solar panel technology has enjoyed in the past decade.

It's a lot easier to hand-wave away these concerns than it is to actually build them out. Just look at warehouse roofspace in this state - nearly all of which are perfectly flat and huge (thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square footage) - but few are covered in solar panels. These things are incredibly expensive, and need to return the investment. We can't pretend the last 20 years of snail-paced build-outs are just because people don't care...
Well, best way would be to do things my way.
>people who write "capitalism is bad because of X" are usually interested in replacing it with leftism

This sounds like looking for a fight that has been fought thousands of times before rather than looking to learn something interesting though.

To me a more interesting question would be, if we steel man the public conception of the problems of capitalism, and we accept that the public conception of communism is problematic to implement to say the least, what remains? How can we move forward without endlessly getting stuck in the same tired argument about communism? How can intelligent people discuss solutions to these issues? What are our alternatives?

Yes. I just had an odd
Interview a couple of weeks ago. We were looking for a contractor and interviewed someone. The location he gave was the middle of nowhere, British Columbia.

Turns out though, I don’t live that far away from there. I can see his window was full of heavy, dark clouds. However, there was a heat wave going on and there wasn’t a cloud for hundreds of miles.

“Huh. Odd that we’re so close, it’s almost 90 down here and it look like it’s about to pour rain up where you are…” I said.
So something that is used to develop something that later generates billions of dollar of profits isn't, in itself, responsible in part for those billions of dollars ?

So by this reasoning, something like Linux has exactly $0 value in monetary terms. Linux is never an application, it never does something that actual users pay for (the "users" who pay for Linux support are just developers and corporations who use it to develop something else).

>I also don't think you understand what profit is and the difference between profit and revenue.

Yes, I don't understand an elementary distinction between terms that anybody with a dictionary understands. This is quite a fair and productive point for you to make.

>this exchange has become pretty pointless.

Probably the one thing you're right about in this, I'm indeed not interested in debating incredibly insecure people fond of accusing others of ignorance (quite often a projection technique) instead of engaging with their arguments or citing specific examples or research.
You're totally right! Sunscreen is indeed regulated by the FDA, but things like acid serums, exfoliators, creams, cleansers, and lotions are not.

Our concerns about lack of regulation are two-fold:
(1) That products that contain very mild ingredients (like fruit extracts) are being sold to people with claims that are unsubstantiated. For example: Claiming to reduce dark spots, when there is little scientific evidence to support it.
(2) That products with very harsh ingredients (25% AHA / BHA peels, for example) are being sold without much warning and education that they could cause irritation on certain skin types.

Correct, yet for a particular category of companies providing foundation utility-like services, there's a well established tradition of taking a liberal/neutral stance.

Which above all is a pragmatic call.

If it were a verification badge you’d think someone would develop a technology to sign tweets / posts the same way you can sign and push a git commit, i.e. , the authentication backend would incorporate some sort of signing which requires a special token.

All this would have to be hidden from the end-user, of course, so I’m not sure what it offers on top of just knowing the user credentials.

Maybe it would have to be implemented where when you login to an app, the app also looks in iCloud or Google storage for the keys associated with your verified identity (which you have to submit documents for, and when submitting documents, your phone creates the keys). Any additional devices the user wishes to use, he or she would have to share the keys from the initial device.

Not a crypto guy, is this the gist of what actual verification would look like and what additional benefits it serves over 2FA or knowing the users password?

Microsoft started the Windows transition to git sometime before Github acquisition as a part of a company-wide effort to move to VSTS/Azure DevOps Repos internal dogfooding. The choice there was between the zombie ghost of TFS source control or git, so you can possibly imagine some of the reasons why they chose to put a lot of time/effort into making git work for themselves. The subsequent acquisition of Github seems to have made them even happier at the switch to git.
> California's been working to eliminate transmission bottlenecks for a couple decades now.

Well, that's my point. We're still not there and several decades have been spent already.

As it stands today, if you want your electricity to come from renewables, it often costs significantly more than "regular" power. That's a step in the wrong direction...

> And then you have projects like this

Been around long enough to have seen things like this before. I'll believe it when I see it.

malloc() and free() are a far better API than one that requires unwrapping and casting pointers every time you use them, and - despite trying to keep metadata with the pointer - still requires you to separately track metadata!

Also, throwing C++ code in when he's showing C is wrong on so many levels.

(I just remembered a similar discussion by Richard Heathfield in C Unleashed. I looked it up and it's on pages 285-286. He sets out to improve upon the design of realloc(). He concludes "that whoever designed realloc did know what they were doing, after all. There's a lesson there somewhere for overzealous wheel inventors.")
2FA is fine.

Don't bother with VPN's if you're SaaS-based. Just take the zero-trust route with mandatory MFA everywhere, invest in Yubikeys for all employees and set up a SIEM box to ingress audit logs from your various systems.

Setting up an Elastic box for this should be relatively straightforward. For many people it's easier to keep SIEM locally hosted (pulling data, no external access) and then periodically push encrypted backups offsite).

You'll probably end up setting up business metrics monitoring from this eventually too, at least in the early days before you start the "data lake" approach.

DNSSEC is a waste of time right now.
It will be all of the above so it doesn’t really matter since it’s all going to be indistinguishable from the real thing.

You need to use it to have it stick. If you like Rust, spend 30min playing with bevy and you’ll be set.

Not exactly an everyday item, but people who want to train for "tactical" things with ballistic armored vests, either because they work for a PMC or are actually in the military, can buy steel plates to put in a plate carrier which exactly match the dimensions of an expensive ($2000+) ceramic plate set, for weight and balance purposes and train with those.

My understanding is that you effectively have to drill a new well, because of the permafrost, and the water in the gas, the well casing will get fractured, and thus leak, plus all the other fiddly details.
