I don’t see why it is such a huffy issue. People aren’t being hurt.

Medicinal ingredients present the potential for harm. At least homeopathy doesn’t contain anything at all. It’s not like the packaging says “will cure cancer” or something—the FDA is quite clear on making misleading claims.
It gets worse, it only steers over-performers and under-performers away from each other so that the majority middle-tier can be used for reproduction.

A thing I've heard repeated, but I've never seen a citation for, is that during the cultural revolution China had a problem of not enough doctors to see all the patients with aches and pains who were guaranteed to get health care. So they plucked acupuncture from obscurity and established that as the thing you give to people who would feel better having seen a professional but don't have anything curable wrong with them.

But like I've said: I've read this once on a skeptic blog and heard it repeated possibly by another reader thereof but I've never seen a citation for this and it may be smug western bullshit meant to portray China as cynical. IDK.
Yep, designing around the write hole is hard, especially with non-enterprise equipment. Lots of firmware does unsafe things with cached data and will tell you data has hit disks that has not. The file system can't really do anything about this either, other than tell you after the fact that the data that should be there isn't (which ZFS is very good for).

You can disable write caches for safety, but note that this is very hard on performance.
I wouldn't downvote you, but I think you should be aware that meta-analysis is making the case that homeopathy is better than placebo and has an unknown mechanism of working, which is a much bolder claim than you originally made.

I disagree with the results of the risk of bias assessments of the studies involved in that meta-analysis: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41390-022-02127-3/tables/1

Out of the 6 studies used, only 2 are from general research institutions. The other 4 are all specialists in homeopathy or private practices using homeopathy. Seems like the risk of bias there would be extremely high.

They can't, with blown up pipes they can't just start receiving gas they need. That gives credibility to this theory - if there are mass protests and new EU governments as a result, they can't go back anyway as there is no longer infrastructure for gas delivery anymore. It really looks like some group wants EU all in, so we should be prepared for the worst possible outcome (WW3, some life remaining on the planet) if that's even possible.
Zinc is not homeopathic, it's a supplement.

Homeopathy refers, specifically, to substances diluted down so much there's basically none of the original substance left in the resulting dilution. It's based on the premise that water has "memory."

I think you're getting homeopathy confused with "CAM," which stands for "complementary and alternate medicine." You might consider Zinc CAM (I haven't read the literature on it).

It is the case that something advertised as a "medicine" can include both homeopathic ingredients and other CAM ingredients as well.

You're coming at it from a different context than the original article, which is more about what an agency would do, where there won't be PMs and designers have to figure out requirements themselves (often precisely by challenging what the client is asking for).
Except for their Rail system, that one stops working if you look at it wrong.

No, Russia buys it for a song (since they're the only customer) and uses it domestically and possibly sells it along to Europe. I've certainly never heard of the Turkmen gas being unusable for regular purposes. There's a small pipeline to Afghanistan that supplies the border regions (when its running).
That is a meta analysis conducted by homeopathic doctors, on studies done by some "homeopathic institutes" and other such associations.

It's curious how positive results only come from associates in an industry profiting from trying to convince you that their water, chemically indistinguishable from regular water, has magical healing properties through its memory of past events.
Good. That's a start.

IMO, homeopathic medicines should be packaged at least as prominently as cigarettes are labeled in the EU, e.g. big bold letters on every package that say "This is NOT real medicine" or "Pill shell only" or "Placebo Effect Only"

I think oftentimes it gets a pass when it shouldn't due to certain factors:

1. Homeopathy shills are modern day Alchemists - they are really persuasive bullshit artists (trying to make money out of literal thin air)

2. Many people associate homeopathy with herbal remedies, which is ironic, because herbal remedies actually do have a measurable non-placebo effect. Many of the actual medicines are based on isolated plant compounds, etc.

3. It's still niche enough that it gets a pass, sort of like modern day Anti-vaxxers. So not a lot of harm from it simply due to being a small % of the population.

Kind of a ridiculous comparison. If you absolutely must compare this to school shootings, compare it this way:

Should a national government mandate only one method of security that every school must implement, or allow states/provinces/districts to experiment with what works for them? Even if the national government improves security in the short term, there is a strong possibility that the bureaucracy of national government's slowness to adapt will cause security to be worse in the long term.

I mistakenly bought homeopathic eye drops from a CVS once, for exactly this reason: I was in a rush, it was in between real medicine, I didn't notice the tiny "homeopathic" text on the package, and it was the lowest priced item. It didn't work, obviously, which is when I inspected the package more closely and was actually shocked (this was over 10 years ago) that CVS would sell homeopathics. I stopped shopping at CVS because of that, but they're not the only ones selling this junk.

That experience got me reading up on what was and was not allowed to be sold in stores. Turns out consumers have to educate themselves: the US government doesn't sufficiently ensure items on store shelves are effective or even harmless.
The EU has not done this with wall sockets though. And the idea of just installing two is particularly beclowning.
No real reason other than the fact that I already had an AWS account and I was saving quite a bit of money already.

I may look into B2 later. But again, I’m well below my original costs so I may not look for a while.

Sorry, but to which thread are you referring?
As a Scala dev, I had a similar belief as you: Scala using companies seemed to have higher calibre programmers. Until my current job at a major Telecom.

The code is all Scala, but written by a bunch of ex-Java devs. I have made attempts at education, and the code is improving, but the fundamental structure of the services are bad, and there is still a lot of bad code. I am not saying this as a FP purist, some of the code would be bad by the standards of Java programming.

Bad programmers then hire other bad programmers. Because it is hard to find experienced Scala developers, they have brought in people with java experience, or big data Python programmers who claim to have some experience using Scala with Spark. I am now involved in the hiring process, and it is slow and dismal. To be fair, the kind of contractors this company hires are mediocre, regardless of language.

The features of Scala create novel ways for confused programmers to screw up, and we aren't even doing anything esoteric, like pure FP. I suspect there are some similar traps in Clojure.

Even setting aside the particulars of the case, it seems obvious to me that local police forces should be required to have conflict-of-interest rules regarding their own critics, and should be deferring to an alternate police force in such cases, especially in the USA where you have many overlapping police forces available such as the State and FBI.

Can't speak for the person you are commenting to. But I live in the US and there are many industries that are not regulated for the benefit of the consumer. Telecom being a big one.

Akinetopsia is a very interesting neurological condition where a person cannot see motion. If they try to fill a cup with water, it will overflow. Somehow their brain can't process the idea that the water is rising; whatever level they see it at, that's where they think it will stay.

It's a very rare disease, but a related phenomenon in the anlysis of social and political trends is common.

So yes, at the moment they are merely suing to create a separate aisle, but I hardly think that is their final goal.

Assuming you are correct, it still means that any startup that has an idea for an innovation in the phone cable space will first need to worry about how to convince the European Commission to approve it. That's quite a road block for a startup.
... yes, I am actually.
It's a phone charging port. It's not that serious. It's better for consumers if we all have the same one for everything, if possible. Unless you can tell me why not?
In your scene you would see increased buying and volume at the higher price point which would offset the money lost at the lower tier.
Further down the stack is much more likely to be deemed a common carrier. The exact status depends on where you are and there is more than one piece of ongoing litigation over it (e.g. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/7987167/american-cable-... ).

But traditionally your statement is why common carrier status has existed.

Even without the stronger protection of common carrier laws providers further down the stack are much less likely to take action against you. The difference in probabilities matters even though when it isn't as strong as clear protection under the law.
There is no alternative to clinical trials. Either a medicine (or treatment) has evidence behind it, or it does not.

And whatever education or tests naturopaths do are not comparable to what MDs have to do.
So your intelligent theory is that Putin is smart but USA outsmarted him and EU ? Or US and Putin are both controlled by Illuminati and the plan was to???

We in East Europe we knew all along that we need to get in NATO ASAP because Russia is actual evil and would not esitate to exterminate us just to take our land and resources, so fuck your Trumpan-Illuminati theories, the reality is in your face and you refuse to see it, Putin and Russia are evil, they will not hesitate to doe evil , US is not perfect but is not some super genius state where they played Putin as a stupid puppet all along.

Maybe we easter European are wrong, but for now we will curse Putin and Russia for all the shit is happening
To be clear, they analyzed 6 studies with an average of 52 patients. So, that’s about 300 or so kids.
Homeopathic is just another word for bullshit.

edit: Yeah downvote me, but look at every doctor selling these extremely high priced fake solutions to patients. When people with aids and cancer are getting sold what amounts to vitamins for tens of thousands of dollars, I'm sorry, but what else do you call it? There is no such thing as alternative medicine...
> I fully agree with UML being stuck in OO land, though, and I think that’s the actual problem. Lambdas don’t exist, or have to be verbosely represented as interfaces

From a code generation standpoint (e.g. cracking out EJB boilerplate), the concept of model-driven architecture is generally a flawed idea. Lack of lambda expressions isn't that significant in the face of ignoring the complexities of real systems.

I'm curious about the issues you've hit representing higher order types though - was this in a class-style diagram?
I guess the problem to me is that the labeling on the homeopathic products I’ve seen that indicate that they aren’t FDA approved either isn’t there or is in tiny print hidden in an obscure spot. In my opinion as a consumer I feel that for something that has potential to be harmful there should be a warning akin to the surgeon general’s warning visible on the medicine container. Note that I still would find it deceptive from a consumer protection standpoint if there was almond milk labeled only as “milk” directly next to the animal milk with no indication it was almonds.

I find the password prompts an improvement over earlier versions of iOS, where there was no way to get updates to those apps without logging out of the app store entirely and logging in with the other region's account.

Obviously it would be better if we could be properly logged in into multiple accounts at the same time (The play store on android does support switching easily), but at least I can now (I think since iOS 15) get app updates while staying logged in in my main account.
zpool status showed an identical number of checksum failures across drives, and status -v would list certain files as corrupt. Reads on those files would return EIO. It was always recently written files.

A large file copy would predictably trigger it. Other times it was random.

A common thing for humans. Right now it's like 18c outside and im freezing. But in the spring when it's 15c its soooo warm.

the same goes for pleasure and pain. If you're always comfortable, you end up needing more and more pleasure heading to an extreme just to be happy. Societies even have this problem, when pleasure becomes imbalanced you end up throwing people to the lions.

I’ve tripped over an old iPhone, catching the cable and deforming the charging port. That made charging the phone difficult until I got a new one. Now I only use the MagSafe charger to prevent another such mishap. One more “moving part” that I don’t have to worry about.
I havea few DVDs I bought in my previous country... I remember first time I tried to play them in a player from the new country, it asked me if I wanted to "move" it to the new region... I think there were 2 "moves" allowed. So, anyway, I was able to play it, no worries.

Sure, but were those diagrams even conforming UML? And should they be?

I don't see a lot of value in UML's standardizing +,-,#,~ as access specifiers, vs just using the relevant language keywords.

Generally, unless people are using CASE tools, I tend to see them draw non-conforming diagrams that just roughly resemble what the UML spec says, and that is almost always good enough.

Diagrams are good, but having to worry about N different type of arrow heads, if a line should be solid or dashed, semi-obscure access symbols, etc is not good. and strictly speaking if you are not concerned about those things you are not actually using UML.

The exception is that nobody can ever convince me that a UML-style usecase diagram is better than alternatives like user stories.
The government of India gives ISPs lists of things to block with no explanations, and they label them confidential, so I would not expect anything useful from an ISP.

Did consumers find this so onerous that they stopped buying iPhones?
It's not a "deception" if you understand that you don't really "own" digital content. I will "buy" it if I think I'll watch it again - soon. But there are so many good movies and TV shows that I rarely re-watch anything.
Yeah, I'd previously thought about dairy goats and decided there's just too much damn milking. Given some pasture land, I'd choose to raise sheep for meat. It's not a huge amount of income, but it's a lot less work than dairying. Plus you're keeping your own family supplied with lamb--and pork, it's easy to keep a couple hogs around--which is a big savings at the grocery store.
Not true really; name an athlete from the 1400s.
I chose not to provide my own sources so I wouldn't be accused of cherry-picking. Instead I showed how anyone could find the evidence for themselves, if they so choose. Which is to say, simply go to pubmed and type in homeopathy. You'll find plenty of peer-reviewed literature, meta-analyses even, suggesting an effect for homeopathy greater than just placebo (within limited domains of application, of course)
They'll get a middle initial of "O" probably due to that space character, and similar issues in matching their last name.

Whether or not this succeeds, I think it's a great effort. SQLite not taking any outside contributions is of course their prerogative. But it would also be cool to see what could happen with a more open development model. And their (libsql) plans around io_uring and Rust for future code both sound like a good start.

The way they're going about this fork (described in the repo [0] readme) seems healthy enough for both projects as well.

Maybe the biggest challenge though is recreating SQLite's private/proprietary test suite [1].
