I'm Polish as well, although I don't see how it makes a difference.

The problem is with this bit:

"Article 55: Whoever publicly and contrary to facts denies the crimes referred to in Article 1, point 1, shall be subject to a fine or imprisonment for up to 3 years. The sentence shall be made public"

It just says "contrary to fact". And as many experts have already pointed out, it allows the prosecutors to define what the "fact" is. Not historians. Today you can freely say that Poles have killed 400 Jews in Jedwabne and yeah maybe you won't get arrested. Tomorrow? With the way the current political system is going? I wouldn't be so sure.
Not all farmers understand the depths of the biology they work with, but some probably do.

Not all programmers understand how their instructions influence the circuits that execute them. That does not validate statements like "programmers don't understand electronics."
I know enough alcoholics who have similar issues connecting dots such that I tend to think it is real. I mostly hangout with teatotalers, most people have a lot more contact, and so probaby haven't realized how normal it is.
Regardless of whether the ad spend was bearing fruit, Zaslav’s Warner-Discovery is big on austerity. For HBO in particular, that could be a (potentially bigger) factor over Twitter becoming an unpalatable platform… although I’m sure recent changes to Twitter don’t help.
> Id be interested in a source as it is my understanding that most of this research was disinformation from the alcohol industry

it's independent scientific studies

alcohol industry doesn't need to convince people, they sell alcohol, people enjoy alcohol, it's not like cigarettes that stink and taste horribly and are bad for those around you,e specially kids.

The ability (which is common) to moderate oneself when drinking is associated with general better health (Modest drinkers were more educated, less obese, more active, less smoked, and had lower rates of hypertension, diabetes, and high triglycerides, proteinuria, high uric acid and high level of C-reactive protein when compared with regular drinkers)

So in general we should not look at the substance, but at the person.

non drinkers are usually people who are scared of losing self control.

heavy drinkers are usually people who cannot control themselves and did not chose abstinence.

But the solution is to learn moderation, since young age.

Now do cannabis, WHO.
There’s the old saying with advertising. Maybe HBO decided to spend that $12m on the other half.
If you drink the average every day, you will spend a large part of your days inebriated.

You think that a pint of beer will leave you inebriated most of the day?
So much denialism going on here, it's like talking to my alcoholic relative. This shouldn't trigger such a strong reaction, if it does, one should look into why that is.

Fruit juice also contains small amounts of ethanol, so if the WHO is correct then do not replace your wine with fruit juice.

Or as is more likely, this is completely overblown just as the anti tobacco campaign has been overblown. Yes alcohol and tobacco aren’t good for you, no they are not imbued with magic properties where even 1 drop means cancer.

This type of thinking is common in pre scientific communities, where an object or substance is imbued with “bad energy” and having even the smallest contact with it contaminated the individual.

The question is, how much alcohol did they consume before becoming a millionaire, compared to the rest of the population. It might actually be less.
Taking YC advice is sort of like getting cooking tips from customers coming out of a nice restaurant.

They’ve eaten good food, but they may or may not know anything about starting a business.

Paul Graham hasn’t started a company in several decades now. Just because he has proximity with a lot of people who have, doesn’t mean his advice is still sound.

He was competing with Perl shops, for crying out loud!

The scene has changed. A lot. Seek out lessons from success by yourself, directly. Ask local, search local, find the people successful near you in your industry and just ask them. Many will tell their tale over lunch, and then you’ve received personal, actionable advice for the price of a good meal.
"Risks start from the first drop"

If this is true, the medical community is actively causing harm. Many compounded or suspended children's medicines contain alcohol. Many do not have alcohol free alternatives.
Actually.... It's not. Continental Europe mixes priority-to-the-right with driving on the right side of the road, which is not that good. It would have been way better to mix driving on the right with priority to the left as it gains the driver a bit of reaction time. (Of course, driving on the left with priority to the right would have been fine too)
That’s like saying smoking is not hazardous to your health, getting cancer is.

Jumping off a building is not hazardous to your health, hitting the ground is.
I might be wrong here, but I have never heard the claim that 2 beers might be good for your health. I have heard that with wine, but that's not a claim that alcohol is good for your health.
That's so dishonest; c'mon man - there are millions (likely billions) of people who enjoy a drink, I am rather confident you have absolutely no sorry given for the extreme vast majority, nor it bothers you.
i drink a bottle of wine every night with dinner. i dont think it's healthy, i do it because it tastes delicious and enhances the experience.

Gen Clark had to be reined in by the common sense and prudence of a British general.

"I'm not going to start Third World War for you," - https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/aug/02/balkans3

"...One of Clark's most debated decisions during his SACEUR command was his attempted operation to attack Russian troops at Pristina International Airport, immediately after the end of the Kosovo War in June 1999..."

"Incident at Pristina Airport" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_at_Pristina_airport
That's slightly misleading. The final ABV is what really matters in the end. So, even though maybe only half of the wine alcohol evaporated, the fact that it's so diluted means the end ABV is probably going to be way below wine or even beer. I think a table with the actual ABV of all the common dishes that take any form of alcohol would be far more useful.

By the way, I'm pretty sure alcohol evaporates before the water. That's the reason you evaporate and collect the alcohol in distillation instead of evaporating the water and keeping the alcohol.
The problem is that how well anyone's particular life circumstances fit into a statistical model (or not) can be a very difficult thing to discern. There is a combinatorial explosion of factors that everyone is subject to, and most epidemiological statistics can address and account for a handful of them at a time. So what ends up happening is folks look at the statistics, shrug, and continue their own n=1. The best they can do is be honest with themselves about "how is that working out for you?"
I mean, the WHO has such an amazing track record at this point, did everyone forget about their COVID failures:

To me the more interesting aspect of this research is the possibility to test susceptibility to severe infection. If you know ahead of time you are high risk, then the treatment and behavior is different than someone who knows they are low risk. Right now we treat everything the same - recommend everyone is vaccinated and everyone wear masks during outbreaks. I’d really like to know how at risk I am, and act accordingly.
I was subscribed to TIME magazine around 2008, and it was astonishing to see whole issues with hardly any ads. I think it is as you said: When money is tight, it is comparatively easy to cut marketing spending for some time (easier than lay-offs, for example) and in addition to that, marketing might be less effective when people try to figure out how to cut their spending.

It is also beneficial because various crap gets delivered, people move fast to where they are needed and generally stuff gets done. Some paramedics even get so brazen as to fly helicopters to the rescue.

How do you draw the line?
Probably any lens and any modern camera can achieve this quality and look. The soft background is achieved by using a lower f-stop. In this example the background isn't really too blurry though so you shouldn't need anything special.

You'll need to spend more time on lighting than anything else to reproduce the overall feel.

How could that not be anecdotal and local in this context?

I mean seriously...I don't even know what you try to say here. The topic is some internet product living of ad money and they're losing it. How is your "real world" ad space in Slovenia even remotely related to what's happening at Twitter?
Yeah, take a look at snap's performance over the last year. That's a very relevant similar product, and it's the same.

Regenerative agriculture is still a big step down from returning the land to natural ecosystems. Quantifying how big that step is, to the point of being able to pick a point in the pareto curve, is a big political decision. There's definitely a place for a lot lots of regenerative agriculture, but it's one part of a solution.
It's a good idea as long as they actually have some good motivation for capturing data. If it's just "we're curious" then I don't think that is good enough.
Google gives me Xerox PARC vibes wrt AI. Got to the insights first, way ahead of everyone else, but OpenAI is productizing faster (like Apple did with Xerox PARC's research).
> If you ask European doctors having a glass or two of wine "extends health".

but it's not because of the alcohol, why wine is "good", it because we mostly relax with it, which reduces stress levels. everything else is bad, at least that it the perception of the last 2-4 years in germany.
Even if there are risks you have to compare the risks. Would I have a child drink a small amount of alcohol for some life saving drug? Just like how you drive to work despite there being a risk in driving.

What was the first miracle performed by Jesus (as documented in the Christian bible)? Turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana (after they had run out of wine). Would Jesus have done this if alcohol consumption was against God's will? Food for thought. I'm not saying that God wants us to drink, but I think it provides some evidence that God doesn't view alcohol as inherently evil or bad (from Christian perspective). Abuse of alcohol is a different thing.
> And that doesn't include the externalized costs, such as increased domestic violence, impacts on children

I have never seen someone who did those things drunk who didn't also do those things sober.
I don’t think you’re right, every generation since modernity seems equal in this regard, the latest generations don’t seem special.

But, I like this phrase “the generational zeitgeist is ostentatious abnegation”, so much that I’m going to use it in the future and pretend I do believe it. Thank you
yeah, prohibition totally worked.

Why not call McCarthy back too?

Alcohol problems are not the same thing of alcohol consumption.

Also:

Scotland's alcohol consumption is among the highest in the world, according to World Health Organization data; on average, Scots consume the equivalent of more than 13 liters (3.4 gallons) of pure alcohol a year, about 40 percent more than Americans (2.4 gallons)

We in Italy consume less than 7 liters per year (less than 1.8 gallons).

Talking about moderate drinking.

They just looped. 0.9, 0.A, 0.B, etc.

0.F.3 but of course that doesn't vocalize well so "Frank 3".

The world is full of people like you who thinks that making this comment ensures you're intellectually superior to others.

I, of course, know what statistics is and how to interpret it , I'm aware drinking isn't especially good for ones health and other aspect of ones life, which is why I'm currently...not drinking.

I'm also aware how silly it is to worry about it and make absolutely claims like "No level..blah".

No level of C02 from fossil fuels is good for us anymore; However, I'm certain you'll get in your car and drive or on a plane and fly soon enough.

The point I'm trying to make is that what matters one minute often seems inconsequential the next, regardless of statistics.

For example, the WHO provides quite shocking statistics on the dangerous of food fires and other heating / cooking methods which are used in my neighborhood: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/household-a..., it freaks me out but I can't do much about it or my neighbors use of a wood stove. Should I move?

So while I think it's been obvious for sometime, alcohol is bad for ones health, smoke is also bad for ones health, is there anything really new or wise in this bulletin from the WHO, I don't think so really.

Have a read of this on the WHO's website:

FACT: Alcohol-based sanitizers are safe for everyone to use

Alcohols in the sanitizers have not been shown to create any relevant health issues. Little alcohol is absorbed into the skin, and most products contain an emollient to reduce skin dryness. Allergic contact dermatitis and bleaching of hand hair due to alcohol are very rare adverse effects. Accidental swallowing and intoxication have been described in rare cases.

So in this case, my body will adsorb alcohol, but in this case it's ok because it's on another page separate from the one we're discussing?
1 pint of beer will get you drunk - more like your tolerance is abnormally low and your projecting it on everyone else.
> If this is true, the medical community is actively causing harm.

That’s kind of a bizarre way of phrasing it. Yes, the medical community actively causes lesser harms, with the goals of preventing greater harms. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy, for example, are extremely harmful! Yet we use them as cancer treatments because the cancer we are treating with them is probably more harmful than the treatment.

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are extreme examples, but this analysis is done across medicine with lesser treatments as well—and yes, we change the way we treat people as our understanding of the risks and benefits of various treatments changes.
Most experts believed the vaccine wouldn’t stop transmission, but lessen the effects of its symptoms.

I don't think Elon is the devil (the devil is evil by necessity, and therefore lacks the agency required for blame).

The right comparison here is Twitter versus other social media companies: they've all probably taken a hit, but Twitter's hit appears to be worse. One then has to explain why that is.
Is alcohol essential for a good social life? Growing up in Europe it definitely was a big part of it. Now I look at my younger colleagues in the US and many never drink, rarely go out and are lonely and single. But maybe healthier?
Because general intelligence don't arise from statistical analysis of extremely large amount of data.

David Spiegelhalter of BUGS fame:

"So a total of 50,000 bottles of gin among these 1,600 people is associated with one extra health problem. Which still indicates a very low level of harm in drinkers drinking just more than the UK guidelines."

The WHO is fear mongering.

Maybe it is good health politics, people are scared of alcohol and people will have a better live.

Maybe it would be better to communicate the risks more quantitavily. Not everyone is stupid.
All things in moderation, including moderation.

neopuritans be damned.
1 beer is not going to make anybody inebriated for a large part of their day. 3-4 beers will put someone into a good buzz but most will not be “deeply drunk” from that.

I do not think Discord company would like that information to be scraped. I think they will try to prevent scraping as much as they can.
I just wrote something extremely similar, but it's only internal right now.

I personally find that the service mesh value-prop is hard to justify for a serverless stack (mostly Cloud Run, but AWS Lambda too probably), and in situations where your services are mostly all in the same language and you can bake the features into libraries that are much easier to import.

Observability is a great example of this. In serverless-land, you're already getting the standard HTTP metrics (ex request count, response codes, latency, etc), tracing, and standard HTTP request logging "for free."
Allergens, pathogens, radioactive material, lead — any more than trace amounts of these is dangerous.

That was the promise, and the fear, around GMO, but it really hasn't had that much of an effect. Biologically, the point editing allowed by generic modification, even with our enhanced skills from CRISPR/Cas9, only allows small changes.

Generic modification by molecular techniques is just another tool, that does not supercede or override any of the past forms of generic modification by breeding that humans have been doing ever since we were humans.

The next level up are people that have no actual understanding of statistics, empirical reasoning, and the weaknesses therein but have learned that if you throw certain science-y words together your arguments will tend land better.
Assuming, of course, that the pricing model for ads is correct[1]! This can be read either as an opportune purchasing moment, as "chickens coming to roost" for Twitter's own mismanagement, a broad advertising market correction, or all three.

Most marketing experts agree that cutting spend during a downturn is one of the worst things you can do — typically space is going much cheaper than in the boom times, so it gives brands a chance to acquire mindshare / brand recall cheaply. On the other hand, for brands that do cut spend, the drop off is swift, and costs a lot to recover when the economy picks up again. Still, cutting in a downturn is not at all uncommon.
this article is doing an even worse job though: there are a lot of people i the comments that are convinced that if they do not drink at all, they will live longer.

They won't.

Afaik that is debunked according to latest data but I leave the details for any medical professionl who is reading this and would like to clarify the issue.

Since it’s apparently not bleedingly obvious which way it is moderate drinking is clearly not as bad as, say. a heroin addiction. So go ahead, be a moderate drinker but don’t fool yourself by delusions of better health outcomes.
So what is the risk of damaging your life from 4 drinks a week compared to risks of getting killed by someone else walking to work every day (in the US with its drivers and SUVs)? Less alcohol is better, perhaps, but we live past our savings while drinking all the same.
It’s good we’re clear on this, let’s not attempt prohibition again please.
