Is there any reputable research establishing "leaky gut" as a thing at all?

It sounds squarely in the pseudoscience category thus far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_gut_syndrome
Don't those two arguments contradict each other?
i loled at this. finally a use case for Cheetoes tins

A man who stored billions of dollars worth of stolen crypto-currency in an underground safe — and a Cheetos popcorn tin — was sentenced Friday to a year and a day in prison.

Yup, to trigger that 15% good time.

Its founder, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced in 2015 to life in prison without the possibility of parole after he was convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering, and hacking, among other charges.

He should have just hacked his own exchange.

"Back in 2012, James Zhong committed wire fraud by stealing 50,000 Bitcoin from Silk Road, and for the next 10 years, he managed to conceal what he had done and how he obtained his fortune," US Attorney Damian Williams said in the statement.

As discussed earlier, the statute of limitations did not help, which is only 5 years for wire fraud. I guess the 'concealing aspect' is why it did not apply. perhaps had he just sat on the coins and done nothing else, he would have been clear.
As the other poster said, they did not make an argument. The impulse to interpret an earnest question as an argument is incorrect.

If I say "here is option X" and make no suggestion that it is my position or advocate it as fact, why would you then try to force it to become my position? Analysis of possible positions is allowed and encouraged.
> But how much of the GUI is actually cross platform

I find the idea that when Photoshop or Protools wants to open a dialog with a button, the developer creates two functions, one for Windows and one for macOS, completely unbelievable.

There is almost without doubt some level of in-house cross-platform toolkit in place. It may not go as far as, say, Qt tries to, and it may differ in design philosophy from other similar toolkits, but they are not writing twice the code every time they have do something in the GUI.

If I'm wrong, HN is the place to find out.
Yep - dream device is a phone that runs android+ios under strict supervision
Plenty of software will kick you from servers or even kill the game process if they detect anything, including false positives like some suspicious string in a completely unrelated chat application.

Who cares though? Fine, you can say they monitor you. The point is: to monitor you, they gotta pwn your machine. If they don't you can just defeat their silly "monitoring" software. They own your machine by installing kernel mode malware into your OS. They literally rootkit your computer.
It sounds like you are largely in agreement with GP, who says:

"I chose a platform because the platform and the apps meet my set of priorities."

You listed a wonderful set of priorities which put the philosophy and a certain kind of usability at the top. GP seems to value day-to-day UI/UX within the desktop.

So question for you, with regards to cross-platform, insofar as you value it as a goal, is that to help spread the user base of libre software?

From the article [1]:

Rationale: Code execution on a Googler machine doesn't directly lead to code execution in a production environment. Googlers can download and run arbitrary code on their machines - we have some mitigations against that, but in general this is not a vulnerability; we are aware of and accepting that risk.

I don't even know what the argument is either.

Vendor lock-in on behalf of Apple, Google, and Microsoft, sure. But then:

> but all frameworks are guilty. Electron, Capacitor, Tauri, Xamarin, Qt, NativeScript, the lot.

Well, these all solve entirely different problems. Different problems, different solutions. Not sure what the "lock-in" is here. It's like arguing that there is "lock-in" because one project is written in C# and the other in Javascript. Seems like stretching the concept of "lock-in" too thin.

> What I’d really rather see more of is standalone platform-agnostic modules

This is a false proposition. A phone is very different from a desktop. "Platform-agnostic" would mean a denominator so common that it isn't useful for anything. Again, different problem/hardware, different solution.

The rest of the post just devolves from there.

Yeah and they don't even need TikTok for any of this. There are millions of apps built by Chinese companies already installed on millions of phones. I also have no doubt that they are also buying data from American companies who are selling it in bulk. If they really have so much power and intelligence, do you really think they'd put all their eggs into one app? They know that a ban of TikTok is totally possible, and have plenty of other things in place to harvest intelligence. I bet they are laughing at how we are all so scared of TikTok and wasting all of our time worrying about it.

"Hackers"? No. You are being "hilariously" ignorant about the current state of cheating in online games. The vast, vast majority of cheaters could be described most charitably as script kiddies, and even that is a stretch. They pay monthly subscription fees to cheat makers to get the ability to exercise their "freedom" to grief other players.
It's hard to keep a secret. It's what gives me confidence that there are no alien UFOs. Let me give you some examples:

1. Someone leaks classified plane specs to win argument on an Internet forum [1];

2. US soldiers leak nuclear secrets via website for creating flash cards [2]; and

3. Fitbit app Strava gives away location of secret military base [3].

There's of course no way of convincing conspiracy theorists. They'll probably point to the above and call them fake or a psy op. The way simpler explanation is that pretty much nothing remains secret and that probability keeps going down the more people that know it.

I once heard it said it would be harder to fake the Moon landing than actually land on the Moon given all the people involved.

Anywa, Discord is just the next evolution of that.

My wife’s long covid (14 months and counting) started after her 3rd jab. You know that day after the jab sometimes when you feel all tired and woozy and sick-ish and can’t get anything done? That just never ended for her.

Even though she got vaccinated 3 times, she got called an anti-vaxx loony for a long time, for even daring to suggest that the vaccine clearly marked day one. But by now, increasingly many official sources concur that there are indeed a very small % of people whose symptoms started after a vaccine. Eg C-Support, a semi-government non-profit here in NL says[0] that ~400 of the people they track long covid got it from the vaccine. Out of 39 million jabs, mind - these are tiny (but nonzero!!) likelihoods.

This shit shouldn't be political. Saying that the vaccine can or cannot have bad side effects got hijacked as signaling which camp you’re in. This is nuts. Insights can change, and a vaccine can both be effective (ie better on average than the alternative, getting sick without) and harmful at the same time.

Maybe its time for both camps, at least on a place like HN, to stop triggering so intensely when people say stuff about covid vaccines that don’t match your priors.

> Am I misremembering? Maybe it was only that no warrant was required to monitor me on company systems...

I've only been in uniform, not worked for private defense contractors, but it should be this. On government (classified or not) systems, websites, etc. you're subject to monitoring, and a prominent banner reminds you of this every time you logon. All web traffic goes through a proxy that breaks TLS to do inspection. Your .mil email and files on your government device(s) get scanned. Even a low level (like, 19 year-old E-2 with a Sec+ certificate) sysadmin can manage accounts in Active Directory and browse any machine on the domain through C$ administrative shares.

This doesn't apply to your personal devices unless you've brought them somewhere that they shouldn't go.

The paperwork is mostly a non-disclosure agreement.
Oh, they are absolutely exploitative. But promoting creation and creativity can be done out of exploitative motives. I am sure music execs loved it when everyone started their own band and tried to become a pop star. A large influx of new talent kept the actual pop stars replaceable. Doing what GP suggested, keeping people dumb and keeping them from creating, would have lead to musicians being a much rarer breed and thus in a much more powerful negotiation position.

Similarly, Youtube or TikTok wants you to create the most funny, informative and creative videos possible. Not because they love creativity, but because it serves their interest.
Vaccines can, and do. There were certainly folks who had reactions to the COVID vaccinations, at times severe. With every vaccine, we have to do the safety versus efficacy versus disease impact math.

There's absolutely no solid evidence widespread "long COVID" is a vaccine reaction, but flatly stating vaccination can't ever damage a human is false.

(Hell, some of the polio vaccines can cause polio. They're still worth it.)

> "Business logic" normally dictates the relative ordering and contextual legality of certain operations and data values.

Wikipedia gives the following definition for "business logic"

> In computer software, business logic or domain logic is the part of the program that encodes the real-world business rules that determine how data can be created, stored, and changed. It is contrasted with the remainder of the software that might be concerned with lower-level details of managing a database or displaying the user interface, system infrastructure, or generally connecting various parts of the program.

I (and i believe op) lean on the "domain logic" end when talking about business logic.

So the fader toggles bits in the raw data, but in a way that input and output is sound data that can flow through the application. Your DAW needs both the bit fiddling - and the "flow input through the fader and out to file" parts.

> Musicians typically have only a vague idea, if they have an idea at all, of what they are trying to accomplish.

I'm talking much more abstract here - "improve recording" is a goal - there's a current domain state, and the goal is to modify it in some way. I'm talking about user intent in interacting with the domain.

In some airports Clear with precheck raises the chances you’ll be directed into more favorable screening lanes where TSA are more relaxed, due to it being used exclusively by prechecks or crew.

Sometimes with just precheck you’ll still get into general use lanes with annoying requests such as removing laptops from bags, no matter if you are precheck or not. This is because there is no Clear employee who can ensure you only end up in the best lane.

Regardless, my airport experiences after subscribing to Clear have always been far better than simply only having precheck alone, especially if you’re the type who likes to arrive late to a flight to minimize waiting at the terminal. Really does feel like a pre-9/11 world.
I like this metaphor, exactly because different folks prefer to work in different environments. Personally, I'd hate working a high resource, low demand job. Maybe that's just me.

AI images are not photos, obviously. We've conflated these words for a long time because the only way to create an image was by digitizing light. These AI images have more in common with a collage than a photo.
The lesson is that you can get great cross-platform UX if you have a massive budget. There’s some cross-platform UI code, sure, there’s also duplicated work.

While I'm with you on being against dark patterns and unethical behavior, anti-cheat feels different in that it seems pretty honestly an effort to make the game better for players (the non cheaters, at least). I haven't seen any arguments that anti-cheat is being used in the interests of the company over the user, it's all that people don't like the technology that's required to do this. So I think it's pretty different from DRM which is pretty clearly an interest misalignment.

At the day yes no one likes this software, but people like gaming with cheaters even less. Just like how we don't like being subject to social media moderation, but we dislike spam even more. I think we can't rule out that these companies (in these instances) are trying to give us what we want even if the means are a bit unseemly.
Cue Long COVID being being disqualified as a disability, just like the pandemic “ended.”
I think about this every time I install something through pip or apt. As someone with no knowledge about the package infrastructure but experience from SEO (domains), it seems like a simple task to just register common typos and spread malicious code. I assume there's some kind of vetting?
Here is a challenge, what is the longest “shortest path” across all wiki?
They did make an argument by the way they framed their question. Let's say the only evidence of long covid can also be explained by people lying. The way their question is framed makes it sound like we should assume lying is the most likely explanation in such a case.

> I find I just don’t have ambitions for anything anymore. I simply exist without any hope/expectation of joy/excitement.

Been there. It gets better, but you will have to change some things.

This is what worked for me: allow yourself to have fun. It is not frivolous. It is not insignificant. It is an important part of a fulfilling life, so make time for it. Literally carve some time for it and put it in your daily/weekly schedule if need be.

Once you commit to spending some time every day/week simply to enjoy yourself and have fun, now you can choose an activity.

At first it may seem difficult because everything may seem pointless or discouraging. Passive activities like watching TV/podcasts/videogames are a bad choice. They may be easy and tempting, but really must be avoided. The best choices are social, such as team sports, board games, ballroom dancing, etc. Outdoor activities are also great: walking in nature, riding a bike, etc. Artsy stuff like painting or embroidery are okay, but being neither social nor outdoorsy means they won't be as beneficial.

If you are particularly industrious you may be tempted to learn a new skill like a new language, or going to the gym. Beware: your actual goal is to lighten up your mood and enjoy yourself, not to "be productive" or "be the best version of yourself". Your obsession with productivity is probably what got you in this mess in the first place.

Simply allow yourself to be a kid again. Do fun stuff that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

>If you can't ever have your thing in the open maybe you shouldn't be having it at all?

This variant of "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide" shares the same naïve worldview of those who do not understand there are pragmatic reasons for privacy both for individuals and nation-states. One would do well to reflect on the old chestnut that knowledge is power and consider who or what should have that power over, say, one's country.

As for narratives for the young, the obvious education is to have a clear and immediate consequence for a specific action. It's what they call "fucked around and found out" nowadays.
Those who are more vulnerable are watching as the world left us hanging dry.

There was no reason to end mask mandates. None. Except a few loudmouths the entire world have caved to.

We have seen how cheap DIY filter boxes are. There is no reason not to have one in every classroom and workplace. And yet.

I am desperate enough to experiment with a Cleanspace Halo, the smallest positive air pressure respirator there is to be able to go among people. If no one else is willing to provide clean air, I need to filter my own. It's bloody ridiculous but what can I do?
Yep, this should be a solution... stop the malware from working, and if the game doesn't work, the users can refund it (since the gameplay time will be 0 hours anyway).

Let the developers (well... managers) deal with the refunds then.

How very cromulent.
Back then people took the idea of privacy really seriously. From what I saw what mostly killed it was the mobile phone revolution.

The entire mobile ecosystem was basically built to productize the user. A few oddballs pointed this out and were ignored because phones are shiny. The "mobile mentality" bled back into the entire rest of the computing ecosystem and this is where we are today.

Ultimately it's rooted in economics. People like free stuff, and the only way to give it to them is to monetize it indirectly via ads and surveillance.
Here's a thought. Your iMac from 2015 employs an Intel processor. The writing has been on the wall for any Intel based Mac since the introduction of the M series. I was frankly amazed that they supported Monterey on as many models (yours included) as they did. I can foresee only the Mac Pro being supported in macOS 14, with support for Intel disappearing in macOS 15.

Edit: PowerPC support was droped after 3 releases - Tiger (10.4) being the first to support Intel, Lion (10.7) dropped support. Granted, that was over a 6 year period. 68K to PowerPC felt quicker...
One choice would be to price out cheaters. Have people pay a one-off fee for access to a premium tier of multiplayer servers. If you cheat, your access is pulled and you've got to go and spend more money to get back in.

The way your question is phrased implies that you think that sufferers of complex and poorly understood diseases should be assumed guilty (of fraud or insanity) until proven innocent.

If that is what you're trying to say, then I would reply that both the history of medicine, as well as the sheer amount of known (to say nothing of unknown) blind spots within current medical practice point toward a more credulous approach toward these sufferers, if you want to believe the truly sick significantly more often than you want to catch the fakers.

> The skeptical take is of course that there is no long covid. either people are faking for benefits or they are being sincere but imagining it.

I think the skeptical take is neither of these things. What you've described is more of a cynical contrarian take.

The skeptical take is not "there's no long covid" but "there MIGHT not be long covid".

And it's not ~"people are faking or imagining"~ it's "lots of people develop weird health problems every day that never get explained, which many will now point to as long covid, which makes it super hard to know if long covid exists".
I'm not sure that's true. AFAIK even Apple allows bundled interpreters for educational purposes on the App Store. There are tons of ways to program on both mobile platforms.
