I think with social media, the problem can't be put back in the box. With mass communication mechanisms, kids will still replicate many behaviors over group chats, discord, Teams, etc... And realistically how are you going to keep apps out of the hands of kids, when we can't even do it with nicotine and alcohol?
Like the emergency kill switch that shut down all of Twitter Spaces for the entire platform when Elon was asked a single pointed question he didn't want to answer.

I think the argument is pretty simple: if you overrule the flags on any article that by a pretty simplistic reading of the guidelines should be flagged because (1) it is nationalistic flamebait and (2) does not present actual evidence even though the title pretends that it does by stating things as fact when they clearly are not then it is your own judgment about the veracity of the article that drives you to do so.

That judgment normally should not weigh as much as the combined judgment of the community members with flag powers. At that point you may as well disable the flags because your trust in the judgment of the community has eroded to the point of non-existence.

I think at best this should be presented with a title of 'How America could have taken out the Nord Stream pipeline' because as it is the facts are not supported by any evidence and there are some clear flaws in the article (for instance, see the comments by user 'weatherlight'). The reputation of this particular reporter was at one point in time absolutely stellar but has gone steadily downhill and I think you should update your priors as to whether you still want to stand by him when making unverifiable claims. Note that no reputable paper would put this in print, which is why you find it on substack, the place where conspiracy and controversy finds its audience.

Note also that this article essentially claims privileged knowledge about an act of war, gets a whole pile of details factually wrong and yet the main claim apparently should stand and get the benefit of the doubt, including a title that states this all as fact (those quotes and question marks are just confusing). Something that grave should not be amplified until it is presented with more foundation.
P.S. The way you can self promote while staying within the rules is to sincerely become an active member of each community after which a small amount of posts can be part of your own content. This also deters cross posting your own content across several subs at the same time which tends to annoy people who see your content repeatedly. If you do this, you can still end up in hot water because people reflexively hate self-promotion, but you're a lot lot less likely to get banned. The thing is that people with no investment in the communities they're posting their content into will not do this, which is precisely the point, Reddit wants the regulars of that community to post content not drive-by self promoters. This overall ensures quality in a fair way. It doesn't work that well, Reddit has been astroturfed for eons, but it works somewhat.

The rules of reddit apply globally in communities large and small, a moderator might like you and not ban you and maybe users on a certain community like you and don't report you, but if you break the rules of reddit yeah it's fair for you to get banned at any time by anybody with the power to do so with them citing that rule.

I always saw Basic as the language for non-professionals who wanted to create their own software: hobbyists, amateurs, small business owners, people who have an idea and want to automate whatever it is they're doing, but aren't trying to write code for a living. C#, by contrast, is a proper mainstream language for professional programmers.
Right and not knowing detailed expertise is fine. I mean core competence of giving advice to the minister "if you do this, then that" and it not being idiotic.

I can't imagine the public service advice to Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and I'll leave the current one alone for now. I would have trouble suspending disbelief that it was as competent as Sir Humphry in his core competence. Sure every single f*king politician, judge, public servant and policy maker have their brain fall out of the ear as soon as "...using a computer on the internet.." is somewhere in what they are being told. It's truly astounding and embarrassing but that is different to say, to cite one example, Liz Truss deciding to cut taxes and increase spending when they're already broke and the obvious repercussions of that. ie Bank of England having to enter the markets to prevent crisis.

"That's very courageous prime minister. Have you considered where you will take your holidays next week?"
> so there’s no point in copying it

Not sure about that, a lot of solutions in nature are honed by billions of years of evolution, sometimes creating feats even more impressive than we can do currently. There is an entire field about copying biology to solve our problems:

We'll take that into consideration! If you prefer, you can open an issue under github.com/flox/flox
> But given that set of accessible microstates, you are more likely to get a macrostate corresponding to a larger number of microstates than a smaller number.

This is due to mixing in phase space, which is plausible for many particle systems. However, it works in both directions of the parameter t.

The only way to derive 2nd law including its time asymmetry (which is the major point of 2nd law) is to restrict considerations to those microscopic processes that are compatible with macroscopic processes that systematically lead to the same final state. This means we consider only subset of all microscopically possible processes. E.g. Jaynes selects those macroscopic processes that bring one macrostate A, via some irreversible evolution, to another macrostate B, repeatedly. Then, assuming this reliability of the resulting state, he derives non-decrease of entropy from maximum entropy principle and Hamiltonian statistical physics. If we didn't assume this restriction and allowed all mechanically possible processes, entropy could both increase and decrease.

> The reason entropy was lower in the past is that the universe started out in a low-entropy state. The reason for that is still a mystery.

This often repeated idea is in vein with Clausius' ostentatious statements on energy and entropy of the Universe, which have been out of place and plagued discussions of thermodynamics with needless mystical assumptions ever since he wrote them. There is no evidence for them, as there are no reliable measurements of entropy of the Universe. There is no need for them, as there are no good reasons to believe Universe has defined entropy at all. Thermodynamics, including 2nd law, is about finite sized systems free of strong gravity effects. It does not extrapolate easily beyond compact systems like planets/stars to ever bigger systems. There is no Universe in it anywhere.

2nd law that we see in daily life or a lab is not a statement about entropy of Universe being lower in the past, nor does it hang on such an assumption. It is (in one of its variants) the statement that a finite isolated system can change its macrostate to some other final macrostate, but this final macrostate is of higher or same entropy, so in real process entropy can't decrease.

The article definitely provides extra value: I was able to get the gist of the stuff without having to watch a video :)
I made my devices much quieter, filtered out feeds, and generally got rid of distractions.

https://nicolasbouliane.com/blog/silence

It helped a lot. I spend more time outside, I read more, I watch fewer YouTube videos. I don't browse reddit as much. I check my inboxes less. I didn't really measure it, but there is an objective improvement, even in the dark days of winter.

However, it's not a magic pill. I'm here right now, am I not? I have good and bad weeks. I still reach for the internet to avoid starting a task I dread.
Some do, naturally. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many adaptations to exploit it, thus the subject of the parent post and its linked article.

"In the wild, many trees depend on fire as a successful way to clear out the competition and release their seeds. In particular, the giant sequoia depends on fire to reproduce: the cones of the tree open after a fire releases their seeds, the fire having cleared all competing vegetation... Eucalyptus regnans or mountain ash of Australia also depends on fire but in a different fashion. They carry their seeds in capsules which can deposit at any time of the year. Being flammable, during a fire the capsules drop nearly all of their seeds and the fire consumes the eucalypt adults, but most of the seeds survive using the ash as a source of nutrients; at their rate of growth, they quickly dominate the land and a new eucalyptus forest grows."

The point I was making is that what was once called .NET Core is now just .NET, after the merge with what was once called .NET framework. However, I think the name .NET is annoying to read and type, and it's ambiguous in a similar manner to Go, so I say Dotnet and Golang. Dotnet is literally just .net with the dot spelled out. It's not really a separate name.

That would be apple's problem then for making their store so unattractive to developers. What you're saying here is that if developers had a choice they'd tell apple go fuck themselves and you're probably right. "We'll engage in anti-competitive practices so our customers can't escape our shitty offering" is not the flex you think it is.
What's with people constantly inventing myths about SpaceX?

It's all out in the open, Musk played an important role in getting it going and still plays an important role in running the R&D side of the company, leaving the 'operational' stuff to Shotwell. There are plenty of testimonies from current and previous employees showing this.

It's pathetic to be inventing stories just because you can't accept that someone you dislike has been successful in some things.

NS1 and NS2 are not the only pipelines Russia could be using to export gas to Europe, but there are several land-based ones too.

Strangely enough someone managed to get it installed on the internal app store. If I could find out who it was I'd buy them a beer or eight!
>I don't have much sympathy for the kind of industries that couldn't stand up to scrutiny

In practice, what this means is that a great many industries (restaurants, construction, anything where immigrant labor is popular and viable, etc) have found a way to elide our — I'm speaking from a US perspective here, this may be different in the UK — sclerotic bureaucracy. Many things would become much more expensive with the introduction of a CBDC.

Also, this means that you're trusting the government to perfectly delineate the bounds of an acceptable life. I don't...

I'm gay and many of my legit LGBT friends have noticed a trend where lots of younger folks are claiming to be queer, bi, non-binary, asexual, pansexual, trans, etc., without a lot of evidence that they're anything other than a straight person looking to feel special.
I have noticed that I am getting more and more addicted to consuming information so I am listening to podcasts while working and I watch Youtube videos in my free time. This is all fun and interesting but I feel this makes me want to do things less and less. Instead of working on my own problems I distract myself by listening to ever more information. I get a lot of benefit from this information but somehow it feels shallow.

I would find a difficult project to work on. It should be hard enough that you have to put an effort to finish it without being too distracted. I think being distracted occurs when something is too easy so you procrastinate.

> Just like YouTube most content is crap.

Well, most of everything in the Universe is “crap.” But, to each their own, and I find YouTube to be a treasure trove of educational content, among other things.
I agree and while search results are censored already because of DMCA or to remove personal info, it feels really different when the reasoning becomes moral judgement. I understand the goal and I can even believe that is being done with good intent, but it feels like there's a shift in how proactive Google will be in hiding explicit or sensitive results.

Does something like evidence of police brutality count as explicit content? This policy isn't targetting just NSFW content but also NSFL content, like video released of the savage killing of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police and the SCORPION unit. Those videos are extremely disturbing and would easily have been at home on a place like LiveLeak.

If someone searches police brutality without being logged in, will links to the real video be blurred/hidden?

I have a feeling this was a response to the Louisiana ruling on porn and the continued fight by current President Biden to weaken Sec 230. This would make sense if it was in response to a new definition of companies acting in good faith to remove illegal content. There hasn't been anything explicit about Sec 230, a critical court hearing is happening later this month. I hope this isn't a signal that the weakening of Sec 230 is likely going to happen. This kind of censorship will be a direct consequence if it does, and this'll only be the beginning.

> Some things are bleak (like climate change, uncertainty with technologies, etc.), but there's a sense of little hope that definitely should have an impact on the youth. I remember the 90s as a quite hopeful time and that definitely had an impact on my mood. My personal contribution would be spreading more hope about life.

I was a child in the 70s/80s and I was in constant fear of Nuclear War/Winter. The level of fear in kids of that generation I suspect is as bad as any generation after.
A digital central bank currency seems more like a refactoring of an existing setup rather than something radically new.

Since the policies of 2008, bank IOUs and central bank IOUs are basically the same since the central bank backs up all the other banks. 100 dollars held at Bank of America as "this is how much the bank owes me" is functionally the same as "this is how much the fed owes me"

In theory, private banks would've created a diverse ecosystem where bad or incompetent banks would get washed out leading to a stronger and more efficient private banking sector. In practice, they all needed to be saved. The resulting rules like lending standards coupled with existing regulation like KYC means that banks already act like arms of the central bank.

It's possible a CBDC just cuts out the middlemen so there could be benefits like lower interest rates on loans. There is concern with privacy and centralization of course, but that's not specific to the CBDC idea or tech and has already existed in a form for some time (e.g. canada trucking bank freezes)
100% LD is targeted at product managers, technical account managers, and any other non-developers who want to gate feature rollouts. The devs can just focus on implementing features, flag them, and then forget about it.

That said, LD is an expensive daily pain in my ass, and anything better, or even a little worse but cheaper, than it catches my attention.

You're wrong:

* Pick any European keymap under Ubuntu, Windows, or Mac with your US keyboard
* Hold right-alt and press a key

You'll get something like ń or ą.

Bonus: Under Ubuntu, you might also have other keys remapped to let you type things like x²≠¼.

Bonus hack: Add a Greek keymap, and you can even get to things like Δx = π·y with an alt-space in between.
I think parents use “preparing them for the future” as an excuse tbh. Part of it is they are trying to relive their childhood through the kids (seen this ALOT). I coached rec league basketball and soccer for 20 years and it was very prevalent.

It was funny/sad as every once in a while i would have the kids bring a book or a boardgame to practice and parents would loose their shit. Kids loved it but a lot of i was hampering their childs development type talk. Give me a break. Its rec league. Made for learning the game and having a blast doing it
Do you know why children don't like to be told what to do by their parents? It's not because they can't do whatever they want. It's because as a child, your agency is taken away. You have no choices but those given to you, no information but what little is given to you. You live in a world of someone else's rules and decisions, someone else's tastes, someone else's lifestyle. You are forced to live the life someone else wants, rather than your own life. And you are often given restrictions not because it's what's best for you, but it's just what's convenient for the person in power.

Children are often not given the benefit of the doubt. Things aren't explained to them, and they're lied to. Much of the time parents don't even do what's best, but instead whatever they prefer. The child may actually be fine with what a parent wants. But rather than give the child the knowledge and tools to make their own decisions and come to their own conclusions, the parent forces their child to become subservient, removing their ability to be a free human being, making their own mistakes, achieving their own goals. Children often grow up stunted by years of biased information, and the inner working of the minds of others who have grown up in the same system.

Paternalism is wrong because it's wrong to think you know what's good for others. You may know what's good for you. And you may have some experience that tells you some potential consequences of specific actions. But by pushing your own desires and limited knowledge on a child, and not permitting experimentation, growth, or making one's own mistakes, the child does not really grow. They just become a poor copy of the parent, and just as limited. Later they internalize all this and try to justify it by doing the same thing to others or their own children. But it's just a coping mechanism for the trauma they experienced as a small human with no rights.

If you actually respect your co-workers, do not treat them like children. Do not condescend. Do not limit them. And do not prevent them from making simple mistakes. Give them information, teach them, sure. But only if they want to be taught. Not because you think you have some special right to tell people what to do, or force people into situations they didn't consent to.

As a senior myself, I am happy to share information and help people learn and grow. But I would never tell a junior what to do, or lecture them, or prevent them from making mistakes. Everyone deserves to come into their experience in their own way, and be an equal member of the team.

I've pretty much only ever shot film, so my opinion isn't worth much, but colour negative seems to be way more flexible than digital if all you're talking about is the capture. In terms of using film in modern workflows, digital is easier.
