> But did it ever occur to you that they're unpopular because we're not allowed to speak our minds fully and rationally convince others of our ideas' merits?

Notwithstanding my ignorance of the particular unpopular opinion you hold, did it ever occur to you that no matter how fully you express your mind, and no matter how rationally you believe your points, the popular resistance to your unpopular ideas may simply be proof that they do not have merit?

If history shows us anything it’s that intelligent people can become convinced by unintelligent ideas.

Nursery teachers are another good example. It doesn't matter that in one country the profession is 97% women and in another it's only 92%.

The point is that there are fields that naturally attract a specific gender and what (if anything) should be done about it.

My neighbour died of blood clotting and heart complications that only ever showed up after AZ vaccines.

As in, fine for years,
AZ vaccine, into monthly hospital trips and complications,
Then finally a fatal heart attack at around the 1.5 year mark after the vaccine (iirc).

The dead is ruled as heart complications, but they only ever shown up after the vaccine. So it's difficult to say that the vaccine killed her if it's technically the heart complications.

If she never got the vaccine she probably would have been fine, but then again she could've eaten something spicy and had another heart attack. Who knows

The Windows that would get me excited would be one stripped down to its absolute minimum, only one way to do things, all the old garbage and centuries of attics and basements cleared out. A modular operating system that could run in old machines and new, with the registry removed.

I wonder if the best windows won’t turn out to be SteamOS.

I switched to MacOS after many many years of windows and one of the things I love about macOS is all the configuration is in one place, stuff isn’t duplicated in multiple user interfaces, there’s only one UI style for macOS, not random bits of UI cruft accumulated over 30 years randomly appearing everywhere. macOS knows what it is. Windows seems to have had a lifetime of personal identity crisis.

That that movie was named using only the letters G, A, T and C is what prompted my wife and I to give four given names to our daughter, starting each with one of these letters (in the order G, A, T and C). Geeky enough I'd say : )

Hydrogen might go through the material of your container.
Example:

$ cat spam.py
import sys
print(f'__name__ = {__name__!r}')
for (name, mod) in sys.modules.items():
try:
if 'spam' not in (mod.__file__ or ''):
continue
except AttributeError:
continue
print(f'sys.modules[{name!r}] = {mod!r} @ 0x{id(mod):x}')
import spam

$ python3 -m spam
__name__ = '__main__'
sys.modules['__main__'] = <module 'spam' from '/home/jwilk/spam.py'> @ 0xf7d86ed8
__name__ = 'spam'
sys.modules['__main__'] = <module 'spam' from '/home/jwilk/spam.py'> @ 0xf7d86ed8
sys.modules['spam'] = <module 'spam' from '/home/jwilk/spam.py'> @ 0xf7caef78

More generally, Python is happy to import the same file multiple times as long as the module name is different.

For example, if there's eggs/bacon/spam.py and you add both "eggs" and "eggs/bacon" to sys.path, you will have two different modules imported after "import bacon.spam, spam".
> I would say the vaccine injection was behind the blood clots.

I don't think I've heard this theory before. Are you saying the delivery via injection was somehow the cause of blood clots and that another delivery method would have avoided them?
> I’m fairly convinced that most of our foundational assumptions about how we construe the religious Other were solidified in the Middle Ages and the period following.

I hope he's correct; I suspect much of the religious Other baggage came from when the early christians actually were being persecuted. (one can understand the government persecution; from the Roman POV, they were a bunch of atheist pinko commies)
It amazes me that so many people think trying to refute an example refutes the point. It doesn't, replace social with pack in my comment and move on if you must.

The rest of your post is just trashy thinking. If you believe the ratio of men to women is not due to personal choice, that's a claim YOU need to back up. I don't have to back up the assumption that it's personal choice, especially against someone who is, when you boil it all down, saying that it _IS_ personal choice, but that they were manipulated into that personal choice.

I was wondering the same. What does a 'competent professional' do differently here?
Because it's not like you go to the Control Panel, and when you go to "devices" that brings up an old UI. Instead you have a number of "control panels" that bring up confusingly overlapping mix of old and new UIs.

Viral pathogens are extremely hard to find. When we test for viruses in the human body we look for the antibodies because to get enough virus material to recognise it is extremely hard. Viruses hide inside our cells and stay there dormant slowly creeping and expanding throughout the body when they aren't in an acute phase of infection. You need tissue samples and then RNA testing to find them, its expensive and extremely invasive and has a high chance of finding nothing unless you are testing the right place.

This has been a big problem with chronic illnesses. Even now despite the US military having great indicative data that EBV causes MS there hasn't been much luck in finding the virus in sufferers bodies, just the antibodies and the usual profile of cytokines associated with the viruses presence. Only recently Dr Bhupesh Prusty found EVB and HHV6 in the autopsy of 3 ME/CFS patients brains and none in controls strongly suggesting a viral cause for the disease but its not a test we could do on a live person and they never found these viruses in the patients fluids when they were alive.
The information is asymmetrical here in most cases; Arise knows exactly how it works while presenting it as something else. A quick search on Google for Arise Call Center and the first three pages are lacking of any critical articles on Arise and some Glassdoor/SEO-spam blogs fake-answering the "scam" question.

And looking at an actual posting on Arise, it looks quite legit: https://www.ariseworkfromhome.com/opportunity/remote-custome...

You could expect this on basically any tech job aggregator posting aggregator site or even most companies' own postings. The only big giveaway that something is off about it is the last line:

> *This is not an offer of employment. It is an opportunity to enter into a business-to-business relationship with Arise®.*

If a person is fortunate enough to see that and check the FAQ [0], hopefully they realize how much of a mess this is and that you're basically paying Arise to maybe get paid by someone else, but how you get paid is up to you and might as well be a mystery.

But for those who don't check that and are in desperate need, yeah, I can easily see how Arise at face value looks perfect and desperation goggles hide the flaws:

- Site looks very normal and legit

- The work it discusses is shit call-center work that no one wants to do so there's likely lots of openings for someone who really needs money

- No training needed, you will be trained so a bad job history/no job history isn't a problem

- Criminal records don't seem to matter so if you had issues in the past, it's no big deal

- Work at home so no need to worry about commute/office hours

- The site is "up front" about you needing to pursue opportunities, so that makes it more "honest" and trustworthy

It's a very nice blend of honesty mixed in with the misdirection that likely its enough to get many people to pay the initial fees, maybe for a training or two, and even do a few hours of work for basically free during a high volume period. Arise pays pennies for the work, gets $$$ from the companies for getting the workers, and ropes in tons of cash from the agents. It looks and feels like a normal employment offer to get enough money out of a person to justify the efforts, and then the person is saddled with reality that they don't have a job, they basically paid for the opportunity to pay to get a few $$$ at awful rates.

It's a gross and exploitative company. I think our ire should be focused on that part instead of people who don't realize it's a scam.

The Greek claim is entirely reasonable, uncontroversial and correct according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. These islands have been continuously inhabited by Greeks for millennia. The border is drawn exactly according to the proximity to land.

It's not some artificial pile of sand on a bank that will erode away if you look at it wrong, or an uninhabited atoll in the middle of nowhere, first discovered a century ago.

I can't believe I'm reading someone earnestly disputing Greece's sovereignty on HN. Either there has been a lack of information or we're dealing with a case of rampant chauvinism and historical enmity.

You should overlay the Greek EEZ on Japan's or China's claims to see how little it really is. Take a look at the US, UK and France in the Pacific for god's sake!

The "Free Speech" movement started on American campuses as a reaction to the red scare. At the core it was anti-war and a lot of college students who wanted to talk about the little red book without ending up on a list. College students died in some of these protests

Kinda similarly, the "right to bear arms" interpretation of the 2nd amendment didn't really happen until the Black Panthers. Everybody talks about the "right to bear arms" part of the amendment but for some reason we no longer bring up how that sentence starts: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"

It's kind of a confusing amendment in general. For most of it's history it was basically treated like 3rd Amendment (about soldiers not having to be quartered). It seemed kinda odd and in fact was the second least often cited amendment behind the 3rd amendment because of this.

It was actually the Black Panthers, a bunch of young hip highly educated commies (mostly), that strongly pushed for this interpretation.

Both "right to bear arms" and "free speech" are much more recent in American politics/history than most people realize. Yes the original amendments had those words, but the meanings of them weren't really hashed out until rather recently.
It's all absurd. There is no biological basis for any of it. The concept of "whiteness" was invented to justify enslaving "non-white" people for profit. Full stop. Who is considered white has changed over time, mostly by slow expansion as groups seek to gain the priviledges associated with it.

Again there is a broad wealth of literature about this written from all kinds of perspectives from the time when slavery was formally the law of the land until today. It's quite disappointing that some people feel so threatened by the historical record and thereby deny themselves the opportunity to learn.
When I have access to a dishwasher appliance I just don't care.

If I don't I might not stack the plates depending on the distance to the kitchen and the number of plates in total. Not stacking plates is like programming without an array / list. It can work better when you only have a few items to calculate.
very old dr told me he noticed the techs who gave him his shots failed to follow the best practice he was taught, which is to withdraw the plunger to see if you pull out any blood. If you draw any blood you have hit an artery and need to start over.

>low income countries have not been "overwhelmed" by Covid

India was completely devastated by COVID-19.

One reason was that India failed to focus their care on actually vulnerable elderly people and they instead had 30-something dudes demanding intensive care and taking up oxygen cylinders for themselves and their families.

Traditionally, to be able to transport them in one trip, since most of the time, one person clears the table while the others remain seated. It's more an act of courtesy towards the person clearing the table, to save them a trip. Also, the stack takes up less room in small kitchens if cleaning the plates is not scheduled directly after the meal. However, your house, your rules...

It may be also be a question of how forcefully you are making your point / standing your ground on this matter. Have you considered that people may be looking at you like an alien because you are very vocal about, in the grand scheme of things, a very minor matter? I could imagine that, since this is bothering you so much that you are posting about it on HN.

At least in my social circles, the standard for cleaning plates is that both sides need to be washed anyway. Spare countertop space in kitchens (to spread out un-stacked plates) is not all that plentiful. A dishwasher machine may work a bit better if some food is moved from the top of the plates to the bottoms.

And if they'll be left to sit for a good while before washing (say, I plan to wash dishes after dessert & socializing & then people leave) any food that is trapped between stacked plates does not dry onto either surface of the plate.
Unfortunately most base OSes are designed around being pets - the FreeBSD manual is all about a world where you get a single machine, give it a cute name, install a web server, install a C compiler and the OS source, build a custom kernel for some reason…

This may make sense if you can only afford a single machine you want to hyperoptimize but it’s not a good workflow for anyone. Not even BSD kernel developers.

There's more than one way to prove the real numbers uncountable. All of them assume something though! https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bbm:978-1-4614-8854-5/...

There's a recursive subdivision approach that goes back to Cantor.

If the subdivisions form a disjoint cover, then the Law Of Excluded Middle (actually, the weaker Limited Principle Of Omniscience) gets used. This proof is equivalent to the popular decimal-digits proof. The problem is that the decimal digits of a real number may not be computable, so there is a dependence on Excluded Middle.

If the subdivisions form an open cover, then Dependent Choice gets used to resolve the ambiguity created by open sets overlapping, but LEM gets avoided. This forms an algorithm you can do on a computer, to produce a real number not in a given sequence. The dependence on Dependent Choice can be improved to Countable Choice, which effectively parallelises the algorithm.

There's another approach based on the fact that countable sets have measure 0. This then implies that the reals have measure 0. To actually get a rigorous contradiction, you need to use the compactness of the interval [0,1]. In constructive logic, this is a consequence of Open Induction (but can be improved to use the "Fan Theorem").

So you need either LEM (really, LPO), Dependent Choice (really, Countable Choice), or Open Induction (really, Fan Theorem). The Dependent Choice approach even determines an explicit algorithm. But there's no unconditional proof. And if the result in the video is correct, there can never be one, because it's possible that the real numbers are countable.

> I think it's a little curious you said it like that instead of "I don't understand why we separate bathroom based on gender "

I assume men aren’t protesting women (gender or sex) entering their bathroom, the issue has always come across as a protect women from creeps thing. Your version is better though.

> Schools across the usa are limiting trans students rights to use bathrooms, getting banned from participating in sports, etc.

Just more protection stuff afaict, in the case of sports around sex-based physical differences leading to unfair advantage and possible physical harm. Am I uninformed and transpeople are getting banned outright?

> I also avoid usa news now, mostly because it depresses me

> I don't get why you're like... Downplaying that there's violence against LGBT people in the usa?

Violence against LGBT people is a reality, it’s just rare enough and punished sufficiently now that I’m prepared to mourn but write it off (from a personal risk perspective) as the occasional savage and continue going to gay bars unworried. I’m more frightened about getting mugged on my way to the bar. That or people not listening if it does start getting really bad because people just stop believing us.

Radars are pretty good at locating things. So, if that rogue wifi device interferes much enough to be noticed by the radar operator on some nearby airfield, the reaction from radio authorities will likely be swift.
No need to hack anything. There are countries where DFS does not exist. Move there, install OpenWrt, set the country code appropriately in the GUI for both radios, enjoy both the fast WiFi and the good weather.

And regarding the reasons for DFS - it is not due to the radars posing interference for access points, it is the other way round. They are supposed to be able to pick up reflections from clouds and airplanes that literally carry less than a millionth of the power that a typical AP would radiate.
If you need a tool to diagnose situations like this, the Metageek Chanalyzer or perhaps a SDR with similar software can find such interferences.

Ask HN: What are your best and safest investment options?
I'm currently in my early 20s and since getting a job as a software engineer, I started to save up more and more. For all the money not to go to waste and just sit in the bank account, I would like to start investing, and slowly add to it every month. What options do I have? I'm based in Europe if that matters. I also perfectly understand that safe means lower return and I'm perfectly fine with that, since I am going into this for a long term.

Also, any useful resources regarding investment would be helpful (YouTube channels, books, etc.).

Thank you!
