Well no, that's not true. We also know that his wife was "off put" by him engaging with them. And if you re-read my rely, you'll see that I specifically mention her being "off put" 3 different times because that was the main part that I was replying to.

And if someone tried to shoehorn a long winded discussion about "racial superiority" into an unrelated conversation (much like you are doing right now on a discussion about free speech), I would certainly bow out because it's irrelevant and weird.
Hm do they itemize the charges? what are they for?
The health authorities of several US states have done the same. Politicians are not medical experts. I'm not aware of any legitimate medical authority that would agree with this fearmongering.
Why are all the videos saying this is awful? I feel like I’m missing something… is the idea that people will learn that they’re not 10/10 attractive when they use this filter?

I’m pretty sure most people are aware of this, and if they’re, it’s on them to reconsider their values things if that kind of thing has a big impact on their ego…
IEC Structured Text (ST) is very similar to Pascal (you might say it's strongly inspired by it) and is available on many PLCs as a more powerful alternative to the non-programmer-friendly graphical programming systems like Ladder Logic and Function Block Diagram. A fair bit of industrial automation is done using ST.
Interesting concept but find this one promoting going backwards. I understand people like rotary phones.
As I remember, Pascal was nicer than C, because it allowed to edit, compile and run the application all in memory, while with C, you had to go through all those C0, C1, (C2?), lib and link stages, all requiring hard disk activity, very slow. Also very nice total recursivity, like functions within functions, which only recently came to C#.

Also very strict and convenient type system, you could define an integer type weight_in_grams and the compiler would not allow you to mix it with height_in_inches, or range types, I think modern languages have nothing like that ... miss it.

Farsi has the letter "p" which Arabic does not. That letter has three dots on top (sometimes drawn like ^. I think there may be another. Arabic only has the "sh" sound with the three dots.

Trying to read Farsi, it feels like I should know what's going on but am left with the feeling that I've forgotten all my Arabic. Then I'll see some of the bonus letters.
If you're looking for definitive evidence, you're unlikely to find any. But there have certainly been many instances of the WHO acting in favor of China's best interests, and there are many criticisms of their SARS-CoV-2 research and report.

I, as a layperson, found several issues with the report as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26757817

All of this mounts sufficient evidence for any reasonable person to be suspicious of the WHO, if not to entirely dismiss their claims.
Debian vs. Non-Free-Firmware
It's not a free offering; there is a free allowance. If you exceed that you get charged:

- Up to 3 shared-cpu-1x 256mb VMs

- 3GB persistent volume storage (total)

- 160GB outbound data transfer

If you spin up, say, 4 VMs you will pay for it.
They don't really need to add anything, because you can just use a GitHub Action that run "flyctl deploy". Here is Fly.io's guide to the 15 lines of YAML you can use to do that: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/continuous-deployment-with-gi...

OTOH they don't even charge you if your bill is less than $5/month. I've had an app do nothing for a few months now, and my bills are always just thrown away due them being under $5.

but if its a social problem for a large population, which it is, then we have to react to that or at least acknowledge that it is.
The only one i'm not sure about is acid reflux treatment. From my own experience congestion + sleep apnea => acid reflux. But I have not seen improvement in sleep apnea from treating acid reflux. Although in the study linked in the article its shown to.

Try flonase first with zyrtec and azelastine. Bumper belt only works if your apnea is positional in nature. And nasal dilators are secondary to drugs

This might be your opinion, and it is a very reasonable opionin. But it is just not what Dijkstra is arguing. He is very clearly arguing for “single entry single exit”.
I fully agree with you. Within the next 5-10 years the internet will be unusable to connect with real people anonymously because everything will be AI generated/enhanced and nobody can be sure whether they talk to a person or a computer.

While many are excited for that I worry about niche communities that hugely depend on the internet's ability to connect with like-minded people far away.
30 years ago, people would probably say the same thing to the idea of social media and people living their lives on their phones.
We don’t need hardware to make this possible. We need very well designed content - lessons and software - to drive equity in education. The web can do the rest. Every day more and more of the world gets connected to the web - the screen they use to access doesn’t need to be fancy. It’s just a door to the content.

I believe that would be quite a few people who would choose to work for public projects rather than as consultants, simply because doing something that is relevant to society can be quite fulfilling.

The main problem in my opinion, is that it is impossible to have that on the local level. Multibillion-dollar project at rare events, even if you develop that talent locally, you will never need it again.

I think the solution would be government employed large project professionals on the federal level.

Ugh … at the risk of a shallow dismissal: the article is FUD.

There's so much wrong with it: broken understandings of copyright, broken understandings of American companies being bound by American law and doing under that != the intentions of the entire FOSS community (and "weaponizing OSS" … no, that's not what happened), a real conflation of AI models to all FOSS, to Huawei "built their own OS" (AIUI, they forked Android) and fretting over gitee globally competing with Github.
CPU - I would assume it's not a mistake, maybe if I dig some more I can figure out how to keep within the allowance, but on Heroku I never had to deal with this kind of thing for free apps.
Drinking induces sleep apnea for me. If I go out for drinks I will end up feeling like I completely regressed for a few days / up to a week.

It relaxes the soft palette during sleep and causes major apnea / hypopnea events.
I'm not sure how you can conclude that for any infrastructure project, complexity scales sublinearly. This feels true in software, but not real world matters IMO.

Think of all of the politics & hard choices involved, for instance, in displacing people vs. bending over backwards to accommodate them with the California high speed rail project.

I probably have to fiddle with the settings to stay within 3 CPUs, but since it was heavily recommended as an alternative to Heroku's free tier, I'm a bit disappointed I have to. Maybe they never intended to be recommended for that, don't know.

So what?

People have been making fictional motion pictures for over 120 years. What does Peter Jackson's, or Spike Jonze's, or your ability to make a computer-generated person appear in a video have to do with 'social is dead'?

Are you concerned that people might make videos of things that aren't truthful? The film camera, and the radio have been lying to us for over a century. The written word has been lying to us even longer, and the spoken word since time immemorial. All of this... Isn't exactly a novel development.

Do you think that 'influencer media' was somehow a more authentic form of communication than those other forms of media? If so, why?
Yes, there are search engines that let you do that
"Consulting: If you can't be part of the solution, there's good money to be made by prolonging the problem."
Sorry if that wasn't clear. This was meant to answer it:

> Fly.io looked more geeky and command line-oriented, which suited me, and their prices are also ridiculously low: free for up to three small virtual machines (I only need two), and $2/month for small VMs after that.

Their free allowance allows up to 3 small VMs and 3 GB of permanent volume space. I'm under that (2 VMs and 2 x 1GB volumes) so I get both my apps for free, and I could add one more. Even if I had to pay the regular rates they charge after the allowance, it'd be only $4.18 per month.

In any case, I was paying AWS $9/mo, now I'm paying Fly.io $0/mo, so that's what I saved.

One member of our team tried to adopt Vim as a primary development tool for Python projects, while rest of the team used products of JetBrains. On the course of two months he tried to set up all linters, static analyzers and refactoring tools to keep up with the rest of the team, being the most unproductive developer all this time. When it became clear it won't be better, he was asked not to play cool hacker and use appropriate tools to solve the problem. End of story.

I love it, because it’ll very quickly teach people that these images aren’t real.

Photoshoots of celebrities have been heavily edited since forever, but I think people don’t really realise that on a fundamental level because they see relatively few. One year of this and no teenager is going to believe any photo they see of a celeb or influencer is real, and will stop chasing it.

Maybe.

Anyway, I think my point is that we’re rapidly transitioning to a world where realistic photos and videos are no longer proof of anything, and the transition between before and after will be awkward, so the more it can be accelerated the better

Could you explain how that supports the point you first made?

My reading is that it says more people changed jobs than usual, and noted that changing jobs often leads to higher wages (in case I wasn't clear before - I agree!)

It makes no comment about immigration or a significant increase in wages during the pandemic (whether or not related to immigration), which I understand is your argument.

Wage growth in fact dropped significantly in the first year of the pandemic[1], before rising to its highest level in 10 years just recently - coincidentally(?) a year after we opened back up and our migrant arrivals increased significantly[2].

> I would assume most photos to be real, and most text to be really written by them. You could edit some photos and have some content ghost written, not everything.

Why does it matter to you if the text was written by them, or by a ghost-writer, or if they just regurgitated whatever their sponsor of the week wants them to say?

As soon as a profit motive's involved, you can't actually trust a media personality. It doesn't matter one whit to me whether it's an actual person shilling from a script, or if its an artificial person shilling from that same script.

Learning how to read and pronounce arabic properly is part of the religion. As all prayers etc are in Arabic and you are supposed to recite them in arabic not a translation and wrong pronunciation can change the meaning so they are strict about teaching proper pronunciation. Though I agree with you about the 2 billion number being incorrect but it was being used a turn of phrase not an accurate number.

It doesn’t matter which city you live in, most notable aquaguards in important urban areas of the country like Delhi. Finding Aquaguard Administration focus is as essential as visiting our organization web page or deciding to read online to locate the nearest Aquaguard Administration focus in Delhi. So, I was hoping that you will not delay in choosing Aquaguard service near me in Delhi and enjoy their customer-centric service. Only you have the option to choose the best for your water purifier, or you can connect with us in Delhi for the same. If you cannot find RO help center in Delhi or nearby area, you can call Aquaguard service number and address to customer care supervisor.
Once it becomes cheap enough to make indistinguishable fake online personas, there will be a flood of commercial, spam, and scam accounts that make it impossible to know who among your online connections is real and who isn’t.

It’s not about a cool looking ogre or background actor, it’s about a sudden inversion of signal:noise ratio for all online interactions

Obviously, you’ll still have your direct connections to people you know and trust to be real, and maybe some enjoyable “are they a bot??” interactions, but the social network experience that’s been around for the last 15 years will probably be over within the next 5.

This 1,000%. If anyone's struggling with social media addiction, doom scrolling etc. and this little rabbit hole intrigues you, keep going down it:

* Is that photo of a real person? Or is it filtered so heavily it no longer fits the definition of a photograph?

* Did nobody like my post? Or did the algorithm just not feel like showing it to anyone?

* Did that person decide to ignore me? Am I sure they're even who they claim to be? Did the platform arbitrarily decide not to show them my message, or did they get it at a bad time along with 50 others? Did they delete the app because they got sick of it?

* Am I really interacting with other humans? Or am I interacting with inhuman tools that are run by an entity who keeps its name out of the limelight and occasionally gives me morsels of human interaction to keep the ruse going?

Examine the Skinner box long enough and it will lose all of its power over you. You will switch off all of your notifications and delete all your social media apps and miss none of it. Your phone will sit in a drawer for most of the day. HN and Reddit are all that's left for me personally now (I deleted all the others), and I have a feeling the latter's days are numbered. The resulting void was quickly filled with better things. I started reading books again. And talking to nice people in public because it turns out humans are actually kind and friendly. And sunshine. Jesus, I'd forgotten how wonderful sunshine is.

There are no humans on the Internet.
