I don't really see the problem. We're discussing it right here & now. The primary thing of the web, in my mind, is linking - we can discuss something here even though it's over there.

I think the simplex communication of an article and the half-duplex communication of forums both have their time & place, I don't think it's a problem that television is simplex.
Subscriptions for simple usage only make sense for a true service with an ongoing cost to the provider; cloud storage, email, movie streaming, etc. A subscription for a general-purpose application is incongruous; you’re purchasing a finished product with no ongoing costs, like a pair of shoes or a book, and it should cost a one-off fee that reflects the cost that went into producing it.

What subscriptions are theoretically paying for is *updates* — the ongoing cost of supporting new technology, fixing bugs, and adding features. Requiring additional payment for additional work is totally fine, and some apps successfully use this model (Agenda (https://agenda.com) and Nova (https://nova.app) are two that come to mind, and I’d be interested to hear of others).

Requiring ongoing payment just for continued usage is predatory and leads to a perverse incentive where developers don’t actually need to provide updates or new features; they’ve got you as long as you still need the app’s basic functionality. It’s rent-seeking behaviour and it will prove to be as toxic in the digital realm as it is in real life.
I probably should've worded it differently.

I didn't mean "Is autogynephilia a fetish that people are confusing for transgenderism? (in some cases where bad faith actors will lie, or self-delude, to identify as women to gain access to women's spaces, making broad inclusivity dangerous and difficult)

I meant ""Is autogynephilia a fetish that (only affects transgender) people are confusing for transgenderism (in all cases)?"

Keep in mind, 90% of the time when someone is talking about autogynephilia, they are casting doubt on the very existence/reality of trans people - deeming them fetishists and fraud by default.
A couple important notes about toxoplasmosis (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, this is gleaned from Wikipedia and the CDC website):

- Cats only get toxoplasmosis from prey, and it only sticks around in the cat for a few weeks, so if you have an indoor-only cat that never goes outside and you don't have any pests, you're probably fine

- Even if your cat does go outside, the parasite doesn't become infectious until 1 to 5 days after it is shed in a cat’s feces, so if you're cleaning the litter box daily, you're probably fine as well
Assuming that only one AI model is in use against you....
Indeed. "Ends justify the means" is one of the biggest mis-rationalizations used by people in power. "We have to be devious to protect our people, culture, religion, system, etc." Often with a dose of "the other side probably cheats also".
I'm not seeing anything in the agreement [1] that participating in KDP Select requires a copyright transfer. Am I missing something?

Does that lay intuition match with the proposed findings in TFA? I can copy the relevant sentence from the abstract, in case you didn't see it:

> Infected women scored higher in tribalism and lower in cultural liberalism
From experience in related things - you are going to get a fairly grey orange, and fairly grey overall image.
I'm curious about how the project evolved, since "an ungodly mix of Perl and Haskell" is not a phrase one might expect to see very often. If not open-sourced, can you say more about which pieces are where?

In any case, I quite like the idea. I self-host TT-RSS, and flip back and forth between using the native web UI, and Elfeed with the TT-RSS API as a back-end.
I have decided as a rule that I just don't read the article. Based on past experience, they're so often garbage articles anyway.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you. If it’s it’s not directed away from your eyes, a bright IR light an inch away from your eye can cause harm.

At sufficient scale the per-GB (or per-TB/per-PB/etc) price of the storage dwarfs all other costs. A small business might have trouble archiving everything, but most large businesses should see and be able to take advantage of this difference.
I bought a kit on Amazon from a major provider. It was a Father’s Day promo. So it’s safe to assume at least half of purchases were gifts. And Amazon FBA does not share buyer data with the seller. Plus then I used all anonymous services, like junk email, VPN to sign up.
Maybe because no matter what I do, I cannot get current streaming sites to recommend music as well as they did back in the Pandora and LastFM days.

And it's not just that I'm pickier and set in my ways, there are songs that I liked that were recommended to me then based on my other songs that I still have in the modern platforms now that haven't ever come up.

Meanwhile I'm skipping songs and thumbs-downing continuously and it won't learn. It just goes round and round the same few silos, none of which are quite right.
I would rather die than not engage in joking hyperbole.

I don't see any evidence in either your or the GP's post.
With random timing, you're more likely to get one period that's long enough for the auto-exposure to correct it and see the face. Autoexposure takes time because it has to use a feedback loop to search for the correct exposure, so if the brightness changes fast enough, it can't keep up.
They think that erythritol increases platelet activity which may cause thrombosis. They have proven that erythritol does affect platelet reactivity. However the study doesn't prove it adequately to say that it definitively causes thrombosis. That would require a follow up study. They have some correlation in data from people with cardiac disease, but it's not surprising to see erythritol there because a lot of cardiac disease is caused by type 2 diabetes.

Without further study there is no way to say if there is an increased risk of thrombosis from this data alone. Just enough to say they should perform further studies to make a determination. In most cases with these studies, the increased risk of thrombosis would so low that you could offset it by taking a walk once a week.

I personally won't stop my consumption of erythritol on this data alone, but there ARE other sweeteners. I mostly use Stevia myself.
As a ckpt that's cool, but I'd like to see it as a LORA so you can use any checkpoint you already have. That would (let's face it... will next week) be amazing.
I'm seeing a lot of people mention gardening, and I'd like to add that it only takes a few feet/meters of indoor space to grow enough vegetables for an entire family.

And all of the supplies/equipment only cost $100-$400.

I would guess that this can work, but it seems impossible to prove. I do not have any good candidates for an NP problem that is provably harder than SAT for a deterministic Turing machine, though I would not be surprised if some tricky diagonalisation argument works.
Show HN: I made a tool that automatically documents dbt models with GPT-3
Sharing dbt documentor, a CLI tool that I built over the weekend to automatically generate dbt docs for models and columns with missing descriptions using the OpenAI API.

Would love to get feedback on how I can improve this, especially if you have a large DBT repo (only used it on smaller ones so far.) Considering adding a GitHub action/dbt package, definition inheritance, version history, or links to dashboards that use each model.
> so I really don't get why you're so desperate to punish white people for things that have nothing to do with them.

You’ve been imagining I have an interest in punishment the entire time… literally no one is being punished by acknowledging that the sins of the fathers have knock one effects today.

> Yes. I'm paraphrasing what you're saying. It's very abusive isn't it?

Not abusive, though also not paraphrasing… refreshing, though, that you’ve admitted that your weak attempt at refutation used the same twisted logic the Einsatzgruppen would use. Or, I suppose, one of those few dozen LARPers that today make up the intellectual base of the MAGA crowd.

This article really needs a picture.
you don’t have to commit a crime to wear this. you can wear it as a statement, in which case attracting that kind of attention so that you can say — ideally to someone with authority — “i don’t think it’s right to surveil the public like this” is arguably some measure of success.
I would say that every generation before you has said the same thing. I'm sure there are reviews from the generation before you lamenting how terrible your favorite artists are and how the younger generation doesn't know good music.

I am definitely younger than you but am reaching the age where it seems like people give up on new music and decided a few years back I never wanted to say anything like your comment in my life. There's so much new music out there that at worst it will become a discovery problem in old age.

My strategies so far are first to always have an open mind to any popular artists I am hearing for the first time and to not completely write them off if they remain popular. Adele isn't for me but there's no way to say she's objectively bad. On the other hand constant recommendations for Black pink opened me up to KPop.

I also have become ok with not being among the first fans of someone and also being ok with people having different taste. Seems like there are a lot of people who make music their personality, look down on people who like new or different styles that they have decided are inferior, and then when their preferred genre or style stops being popular they just give up. If someone is really passionate about something different it's usually worth giving it an objective shot. I take all recommendations from friends and especially younger people seriously.

I also am lucky that a lot of the music I like works really well in DJ sets. I grew up listening to rap, which always allowed me to hear various artists. I'm glad I grew up in the mid Atlantic and never had the false pressure to say one region made better rap, and was able to appreciate songs with intricate wordplay as well as songs that are just meant to be bangers where the words are just there to help the song flow.

In college it was an easy transition to genres like Baltimore club and its variants. At the time I thought they would replace rap instead of rap evolving and Jersey club being incorporated into the larger EDM scene. That transition opened me up to the massive number of DJs making some kind of electronic music of all kinds of various types.

No clue where my journey will take me, but I know there's no feeling like hearing new music that you just really like. Just today, got to experience that feeling watching an ISOxo set.

I plan to be on that journey for the rest of my life.

I remember reading about the Wirecard scandal when it happened, and the key learning wasn't that it was some very complex financial scam that no one could have seen coming (quite the opposite in fact), but rather that the entire state machinery – politicians, regulators, intelligence agencies, banks – was complicit in the fraud because they wanted to take credit for a German company making its name among the silicon valley elites.

A passage from the article:

> On February 18, 2019, Germany’s financial regulator, known as BaFin, issued a ban on creating new short bets against Wirecard, citing the company’s “importance for the economy.”

> The same day, prosecutors in Munich confirmed to a German newspaper that they had opened a criminal investigation. But they weren’t going after Wirecard—they were going after the F.T.
>spending a very small amount of time in Germany, is that in Germany the rules are the rules, whereas in America it is not quite like that

That's the impression you'll get as a foreigner who spent a little time in Germany, but if you're long timer deep in the system you'll realize that "rules are rules" is only true for the little guy whereas the wealthy elite and old-money individuals and companies can and do bend and break the rules with the help of regulators, politicians and courts all the time who kindly look the other way because they are directly or indirectly invested in those companies or tied to the individuals who run the companies.

High level corruption in Germany is rampant and the scandals are numerous. VW, Wirecard, Deutche, Axel Springer, real estate giants, basically pick any rich big German company, chances are they have powerful friends in politics greasing the gears for them making sure the regulatory authorities are always looking the other way.
> Why would I spend $200 on some software one time when it will become obsolete within a couple years? Or maybe I only use it a few times.

I spent 80€ on Strongbox, and I think it was a similar amount for canarymail lifetime.

Strongbox is a keepass2 client, canary is an email client. I expect this software to work without any issues for the next 10 years. Neither keepass2-databases nor imap/smtp will be meaningfully developed in the near future, therefore the maintenance for these apps is probably close to zero.

Okay, actually, canary got Sequoia VC money recently and switched to a subscription model. Since then, they added stuff that is useless to me, but I don't care as long as my lifetime licence still works. The core functions likely won't change.
this is not fair in the sense of the word, but it is still better than dumping waste in another country in the name of recycling.

playing devil's advocate, nobody would send their shoes if dow would come clean and say that they will sell it elsewhere to make money. most people would irrationally ask for a cut even tho there's logistics involved in getting it to the other country.
I think this is a classic case of one person's bug being another person's feature.
That is basically the Apple News model. If you have Apple News (part of the Apple One bundle) you can get articles from a number of publishers that would normally require a separate prescription. I’m not sure if the publishers really like this model but so far they seem to be willing to play along.
We must be talking to a different 60% or have different opinions on what constitutes abuse then. Andrew Tate is plenty popular with a certain subset of boys.
Carbon Copy Cloner - not open source but well worth the purchase, in value and support
As an oldie on the web, i would state that while it might be "ancient, arcane", but it was amazingly awesome at the time....and some still leverage this neat technology to great benefit. ;-)
I've grown weary of subscriptions. But I also think people who don't want to pay monthly would definitely be opposed to paying the equivalent one-time purchase.

Remember, Adobe Photoshop was like $500+ before they made it available via subscription.

Extremely poor wording in the first page or so:

> This study showed Toxoplasma-infected and Toxoplasma-free participants of our cross-sectional study differed in three of four factors of PI34, scoring higher in Tribalism and lower in Cultural liberalism and Anti-Authoritarianism.

- Is the author referring to the infected or to the free group here?

> The stress-coping hypothesis suggests that many toxoplasmosis-associated changes, e.g., higher extroversion in infected women and lower in men, or lower suspiciousness of infected women and higher in suspiciousness of infected men (all in comparison to non-infected peers) can be interpreted as gender-dependent stress coping reaction.

- Using “among infected men/women” in place of “of” would add a lot of clarity here.

I believe I’ll stop reading the article.

JS was a DSL. (Everything you meant to communicate by this comment was already accounted for when I posted mine—hence the parenthetical disclaimer about the idea being laughable.)

I was also fingering GDScript specifically as a _starting_ point for the sort of thing described in the quoted/deleted comment: a concentrated effort to produce a RAD-ish environment meant to dethrone Python from the seat it unreasonably occupies today.
If you had said "We should not allow teenagers to (go through major body-altering procedures without significant counselling, deep psychological evaluation, and allowing them to make other life changes such as changing schools first)", we could have a reasonable discussion about harm reduction and trade-offs of being wrong, or statistics of transition regret.

But if you insist on using intentional language like categorizing all breast binding as "self-harm", then you're not really interested in having a debate are you? You've already decided what you believe, and you're going to pick the most incendiary "Won't anyone think of the children" language that only a monster would disagree with.

No, you're still mixing up the subtype relationship.

Type X is a subtype of type Y if and only if an instance of X can always be used where an instance of Y is required.

GOTO can always be used to replace a BREAK. Therefore GOTO is a subtype of BREAK.

BREAK cannot always be used to replace a GOTO. Therefore BREAK is not a subtype of GOTO.

The inheritance relationship here is not single, it's multiple: a GOTO is a BREAK, but it is also a CONTINUE and a whole lot of other things. It's like a monster class that inherits from every interface under the sun and can do just about anything.

Dijkstra was basically advocating for refactoring our languages to extract those capabilities into smaller, more focused keywords (as well as dropping most of the functionality). Rather than having one keyword implement both the BREAK and CONTINUE interfaces, we break them out into separate keywords.
I feel like this couldn't have been true by 1995.

The market of RPGs specifically made in the west by 1995 is relatively limited. So, you cross out the biggest entries in that space and you will run out of options pretty quickly.

But the argument falls a little too close to "If you exclude the western RPGs titles with a plot, there aren't many western RPGs with a plot".
Is there a good alternative? Would be nice if it is in Python. Maybe Pelican, Nikola, Hyde?

That's only sequential write speed. Of course the camera features on a phone will have no problem using an SD card, but other stuff dealing with more random writes to things like SQLite stores (common for phone apps) or directory trees might. Like I said, I've only used an SD card on my Mac, and it was a bad experience, so I'm guessing a bit about phone usage.
