For a short time I worked for a major natural health nonprofit. What I learned about homeopathy is that it has no actual medical benefit whatsoever, and at best causes a placebo effect. Additionally, the use of belladonna and nightshade in the production of many homeopathic products should be considered the same as if something was made with arsenic.

There has never been a substantive, peer reviewed study showing the benefits of homeopathy anywhere, ever.

If you knew or read about retail pharmacists’ quality of life at work (and pay), you would know they are about as far from comfortable as possible. And their pay dropped precipitously over the 2010 to 2020 years when everyone else’s rise. And they get to work evenings and nights and weekends, and they get to deal with the general public, be on their feet all day, work without other professional colleagues, and work with unreliable minimum wage coworkers who are constantly changing.

They address this:

"Third, the Sixth Circuit’s ruling imperils an an­cient form of discourse. The court’s decision suggests that parodists are in the clear only if they pop the bal­loon in advance by warning their audience that their parody is not true. But some forms of comedy don’t work unless the comedian is able to tell the joke with a straight face. Parody is the quintessential example. Parodists intentionally inhabit the rhetorical form of their target in order to exaggerate or implode it--and by doing so demonstrate the target’s illogic or absurd­ity."

Plus First Amendment issues, and implementation details. If I make one satirical statement in an otherwise non-satirical essay, must I tag that sentence? Must all "it should have been clear I was joking" statements be tagged to avoid the risk of running afoul the law?

It's a serious can of worms.

Arcnet was 3 Mbps, I think. Linux had drivers for it until after 2000, and pushed IP packets through it. People loved their Arcnet.

The router is one of the first things I put on a UPS. The telco equipment likely has fallback power as well.

Sure, you could find some device that isn't on a battery backup and ping it regularly. But this approach forces the device on your UPS to shutdown as soon as power is lost. That buys you a clean shutdown, but you don't get the added benefit of being able to run without interruption during a brief brownout.
I doubt we're changing the side of the road we drive on, but now it's much more expensive to import LHD used cars from the UK. I doubt that we're changing power plugs because there's hundreds of millions of them out there.

This is the first claim I've ever heard that Mini-B is "far more robust" than USB-C. Mini-B is legendarily breakable, both from a pin standpoint (really low lifetime insertions) and from a physical one (the port profile put a ton of strain on the device side). Micro-B was created to resolve those problems, and did a decent job through the latching teeth on the back, but has fewer pins available for advanced connectivity and no room to add them in a backwards-compatible way. Even for small devices, the additional pins are beneficial for standardized high-rate charging via USB-PD.

Both Micro-B and USB-C are similarly rated for robustness.
>If there is one thing that drives EU legislation ideas, it is the convergence towards open and common, market-wide standards. This reduces the barriers to entry for small players and leads to more innovation as a result.

> I have started a modest Blu-Ray/4k Blu-Ray collection. For me, it is by far the best movie experience I've had with any format.

I'm a big proponent of physical media (incl. ownership), but I can't vouch for this at all.

I recently pulled out the Blu-Ray player, plugged it in, and picked up a dozen or so movies from the library. What struck me about the experience was how much worse it was from what I remembered.

You get a bunch of prefatory material (copyright infringement warnings, trailers, bizarre PSAs, etc.) that you have to individually figure out how to skip through. (The menu button doesn't always let you jump straight to the menu; you might get a No symbol[1] with a message "operation not permitted".)

Instead of being mostly pure content that gets streamed at you over a dumb pipe, every disc, like many Web sites today that haven't abandoned practices from the age of lame Flash intros, is crafted to be a package that provides an "experience"—a bunch of silly flourishes injected by way of themable menus, etc. that're supposed to be consistent with the look and feel and mood of the movie. In practice, it makes navigation cumbersome at best, and as far as their tastefulness goals go, they tend to have a half-life of, I dunno, a year or two, because they don't age well at all. The same can be argued for movies generally, but the timescale for aging out is somehow much longer (decades rather). Plus movies have, like, plot and stuff to capture your attention.

Several of the Blu-Rays I played from Universal Pictures had an obnoxious tendency to go to screensaver if the movie is paused for more than a minute or so. Apparently it uses some clever trick to abuse the Blu-Ray format to do this. (You can see on the player's hardware LED readout that it has jumped into a 1–2 minute video sequence played on a loop.) Most obnoxiously, it breaks the prime design constraint of a screensaver, which is that when you return to your device, it should get rid of itself. No amount of button pressing is apparently sufficient to get this to happen, and the only way I found to get back to the movie was to stop it entirely, re-enter through the menu that begins playing it from the beginning, and then seeking forward to roughly the spot that I remembered the movie was at when I originally paused it. Fucking ridiculous.

Turning on subtitles can be an exercise in frustration. Are you allowed to use the "Subtitle" button on the remote? Do you have to navigate the themed menu by following your nose[2] to find the relevant setup screen where you can turn them on? Is it perhaps hidden behind the "Audio" button on the remote? This adventure can be yours. With one Criterion disc, I ended up giving up upon realizing that it was actually available on a streaming service that we subscribe to (which wasn't listed when I first picked up the disc).

The popularity of homeopathic medicine, a concept so obviously wrong that even someone who doesn't understand chemistry can debunk it in seconds, is fascinating.

> Eleven Facebook users called the police department's nonemergency line about Novak's spoof, which was the basis for the claim that he had disrupted police operations. When the case was presented to a grand jury, Detective Thomas Connor claimed the callers "honest to God believed" that Novak's creation was the department's official page. But when Novak sued Connor and six other officers, the Institute for Justice notes in its Supreme Court petition, "Connor admitted at deposition that none of the callers thought that."

I'm pretty sure we all know why this person was arrested, and that there is only one way the court should rule.

The reason I go with alternative even though it's not oss. I prefer transparent pricing strategies. Plausible's USP is OSS. Their attempt at mass adoption is bait and switch. That's a trade off some are comfortable with. I don't see anything wrong unless price change was kept secret and abrupt.
What dependencies are multiplying? I organize my code so that the very top level of the api has all external dependencies injected there, there is no public classes below a single exposed class that would need to be directly injected into. The only thing I need to actually inject are things that are outside of my memory space, ie network calls, event buses, dbs. If it's not using something outside of my memory space I am just using new inside my classes, it's far easier to test.
For example, if I'm adding a new feature to allow a user to change their address, I would have a single class at the top level "CustomerAddressChange" or whatever. I would inject an interface that wraps everything external, and that is the only thing that anything would be injected into. My tests would all stub only that interface. Everything else is done without any sort of DI container.
Right, that link covers read units which is also what I expected - essentially the number of files I have to touch - but I still have no clue about write units.

Is one block on one non-partitioned non-distributed table one write unit? What about one insert that's two blocks on such a table? What about one block on a null engine with two MVs listening to insert into two non-partitioned non-distributed tables? What if the table is a replacing mergetree, do I incur WUs for compactions? etc.

My worry is that it is essentially 1 WU = 1 new part file, which I understand makes sense to bill on but is tremendously intransparent for users - at least I have no clue how often we roll new part files, instead I'm focused on total network and disk i/o performance on one side and client query latency on the other.
This hit me long long ago when the kindle first came out. At the time (haven't looked since), eBooks were the same price as paper back books, but with a paper back book you OWN it. You can GIVE it to a friend. You can SELL it. Heck, if it gets really cold you can even burn it. With an eBook you can read it, and thats about it.
The parody page heading was "We no crime."

Content included things like "Stay inside and catch up with family day" as a crime-prevention measure.

The Parma PD arrested him for disrupting the police, which as far as I can tell was based on a whopping 12 minutes spent answering phone calls from other residents who couldn't distinguish parody from real life any more.

While this is probably usually true, a good counter example is Go, which actually become more fun after computers surpassed the abilities of humans. (Because, as it turns out, the boring parts of the game don't actually matter that much in terms of points.)

Find someone locally who has a 3d printer. If you don't already know how to model 3d objects, they will likely charge you for that time and then 3d print a test.

The last part of your reply is an interesting point. As one of those little guys who enjoys getting a kick at the can, I see self-feeding spiral of the present ad marketplace with disdain.

Two years ago it was different and a lot of small companies could compete. CPAs were well below anything I ever saw in the world of print advertising. Very efficient.

Now, it seems we've gone back 10 years in time. Only large brands are bringing in enough gross margin dollars to run poorly targeted campaigns. This is likely to get much, much worse as small companies exit the stage entirely.

The sad thing is that there is really no where else for a small company to go for acquisition marketing. Can't go back to print. The only outlet left is selling in large marketplaces like Amazon where the competition is apt to steal your product (not to mention the insane fees).

IMHO the fun drained away when MMO publishers decided to refocus on making money. Ironically this caused most of them to go to a Free 2 Play model (F2P), which requires the developers to implement ever increasing amounts of grind to create a market that can be monetized. To spend creative energy on building elaborate gambling systems to lock away as much of the content as they can get away with from the majority of the playerbase.

iPhones don't have USB 3+ because the Lightning connector only has one differential pair for data. If iPhones had a connector with more pairs (USB-C), I doubt it would cost much of anything to add a USB 4 block to the SoC (which they already have on many Apple Silicon SoCs) and wire it up to the connector. Sure, there's more to it, but it's not rocket science.

I've tried to influence eCommerce to have a little bit less grift where I have influence. You can absolutely have a solid shopping website without the newsletter signups, re-targeting and tracking, sneaky cart items and whatnot. Commerce is a core part of our society, and it doesn't have to be a grift just because it's online.

But it's a tough, tough sell. For a business owner who sees the internet as just a tool their business uses, the state of the internet isn't their concern. It can even feel a bit like a black box to some people, with online customers being about as sentient as NPCs in their minds. I once had a client who was sending an email list marketing emails -twice a day-. Every time he did it, he saw a handful of sales, so he would just do it again, get a handful more. How people felt about the emails didn't even cross his mind.
The relegation is already underway. Google has already decided that HTTP-only sites without recent updates don’t belong in top results. Lots of great work from just a few years ago is invisible to most internet users, while “content aggregators” and monolithic platforms soak up all the eyeballs.

You have to use something else entirely (like Wiby) to find the perfectly usable, valuable work that isn’t on a major platform. It /may as well/ be Usenet for how available it is.

Essentially what you're saying is: if we try policy X and it doesn't work, we need to try even harder. Rinse and repeat.

This is a religious mindset.

You know perfectly well that most of your described actions will never happen. And that is exactly why you put them on your list: it protects you from the evidence that your policy doesn't work. When it fails, you can always claim that we didn't do enough.

All shell scripting is just running commands in a shell terminal. The language is designed as if you're at a VT100 terminal typing commands in by hand. Pressing 'Enter' key tells the shell to evaluate whatever was just typed in. A semi-colon is the equivalent of the 'Enter' key. Most commands allow you to pass arguments to them (and so don't need a semi-colon after) unless they are the end of a block, like done, fi, esac, etc, which don't take arguments, so they would get a semi-colon or newline after them. Most things want some whitespace between each element, so for example "[1-lt2]" doesn't parse, but " [ 1 -lt 2 ] " does.

If you read the man page from top to bottom, pretty much all your questions will go away. Bash is only as confusing and mysterious as every other language. Imagine trying to use C++ without ever reading a book on how C++ works. Bash is much simpler! But you should read the man page!
> It was Putin who decided to cut gas supplies, long before the pipeline was sabotaged.

That's factually incorrect. Germany said before the invasion, and followed through with it, that it would not allow NordStream2 to come into operation if Russia invaded.

Listen: Putin did start the war and caused most problems that are causing Europe's energy prices to skyrocket... but how can we just forget the order of event so quickly and start spreading fake claims when clearly it's not even necessary to make a point? Just say how it would be immoral to buy gas from Russia after the war was started regardless of consequences to the prices in Europe.
