I'm afraid you might be wrong about that. Why do they keep inventing new sweeteners, now, every few years? After all, they're all sweet, and zero calories. But they keep investing money inventing new ones, when the customers are happy with the old ones.

Perhaps because the public research eventually catches up to them.

E.g.
"sucralose ingestion caused 1) a greater incremental increase in peak plasma glucose concentrations (4.2 ± 0.2 vs. 4.8 ± 0.3 mmol/L; P = 0.03), 2) a 20 ± 8% greater incremental increase in insulin area under the curve (AUC) (P < 0.03), 3) a 22 ± 7% greater peak insulin secretion rate (P < 0.02), 4) a 7 ± 4% decrease in insulin clearance (P = 0.04), and 5) a 23 ± 20% decrease in SI (P = 0.01)."

NNTs, sweet on the tongue, sweet on the liver! Yep, they trigger the same deleterious hormonal response that sugar does. They produce a cascading chemical chain reaction in the body leading to the over-production of insulin, the hunger-hormone, which signals your fat cells to begin absorbing glucose (triglycerides) from the blood stream. Removing the sugar from the bloodstream would normally cause insulin production to drop, but in this case, it's not the sugar triggering the productions, it's the NNT chemicals that are still circulating in your body..
I'd say your logic is a bit flawed if you think that the logic for what to do when reaching 15K signups needs to be identical to the logic for what to do when reaching 1M signups. The reasoning for each goal can be totally different.

That said, personally I'm not going to use a site branded around the name spez.
> Our curriculum is steeped in white supremacy, class and gender bias, and many other blind spots created by societal norms. [..] Add the fact that formal education was largely designed to appeal to the sons of the aspiring Victorian upper middle classes and it’s no wonder that there is a leaning towards a particular kind of “classic”.

Ah yes, works blind to the realities of a class society, such as Charles Dickens' books, who left school at the age of 12 to work in a boot-blacking factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison, or works blind to gender bias, such as written by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters.

That someone who "spent 15 years teaching English literature" just happened to omit these authors (or painted Orwell as someone whose work appeals specifically to the upper class) is not exactly a sign of honesty.

> It’s no accident that white straight men dominate the canon because people with those identities have historically enjoyed privileges denied to others.

Would anyone care to guess who dominates the Chinese literary canon? Do you think they also feel guilty for learning primarily about their own culture?
Absolutely, not taking away from his marketing skills.
4chan is what I associate with early 2000s internet. It hasn't changed. The only evolution being having newer, more popular insults, like autist, i guess.

We all called each other various slurs back then and the only reason you'd get mad or emotional over it is because you hadn't been on the internet for long enough. Or if you're getting rekt in a video game and they're rubbing it in, i guess.

The mainstream platforms that have appeared since only brought politically correct faux civility that hid the aggression behind a system of rules that has only made communication less genuine and more toxic. Strip away the identity behind a post and only the content remains. And that's why it works. It shuts down behaviours looking to cultivate a persona, which is bad for engagement, but good for content.
Sink the Bismark was an interesting experience too - much like drinking a whisky more so than a beer
I think the "butterfly collecting phase" in particle physics was really the 40s and 50s, when a whole bunch of surprising new particles were discovered.

Gell-Mann and other proposed a unifying principle in the 60s, and as far as I know that's been broadly successful and ultimately led to the standard model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eightfold_way_(physics)

We are not now discovering any new unexpected particles (or any theoretically expected ones, since the Higgs), which is a bit unfortunate in terms of giving theorists something to work with.
This is my question as well. Is this just showing just going to show one screen with the entire macOS in it? Or will we be able to individually project different macOS apps onto the canvas?
For the same reason we often let a small group of activists decide which statues to erect in the first place?

> How do you craft software

The same way that you would craft a beautiful piece of furniture, or fabulous wine, or marvelous garment. By caring first and foremost for the qualities of the result. Not the speed with which you can build it. Not the profitability. Nor its sale-ability. And you go beyond 'acceptable', way beyond least-saleable-product. You consider where it exists, what it's really used for, the environment around it, and you do the best you can :)
this text certainly isn't relevant enough to warrant a second discussion within 8 days. it's a good example for imprecise reasoning where you chain arguments/claims/citations to reach a conclusion but with a little bit of ambiguity or vagueness sneaked in so you can lead it in any desired direction.
That’s fantastic. I started going after moving to Melbs around ‘98… was reasonably regular for around ten years I guess!

I didn’t make it all that often to the daylight hours, but my god when I did, those all nighters were something to behold.

And that 24 hour bottle shop up near Dandenong road was quite handy for the after party too.
I can't speak for racism or being an addict, but in the English speaking world I think lots of these issues are overplayed.

It's not uncommon for members of the trans community to recommend cutting off family members for acts as minor as accidental misgendering, while ignoring the very real harms of social isolation.

As a trans person who's lived in a multi-generational household where only one other member knew I was trans. I can personally attest that even being closeted can be a good tradeoff for many people.

Obviously in cases of violent queerphobia the calculus will be different, but I think people chronically underweigh community and make their own lives worse for it.

There's a reason for the modern resurgence of communes, and it's not just rent. After decades of increasing social isolation we're finally coming back to the realisation that we're social monkeys.

Once I tried to watch some of his videos, and I thought it's just a trailer to the "actual video", but then no actual video came, it's just all like that

But it's fine I guess. People watched crappy reality shows in 2000s, now we have this stuff.

> white guy of European descent. You can joke about genociding me and I'll laugh because it's a ridiculous thought.

Do you by any chance have any Italian ancestors? It took a large amount of lynchings, a significant public uproar and finally a threat of war from Europe for the US to finally elevate Italians to "white" . Americans ingrained need to be racist against everyone they could almost causing WWI (with all the interwoven alliances) is an interesting thought.
Oops, I didn't google Utkin specifically.

But back to my point, you can see his tattoos only because someone dug out a photo of him and shared it on the internet. Not because he was marching bare-chested on the streets of Moscow on Hitler's birthday carrying a torch and shouting 'Glory to Russia!'. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't do that because that would not be accepted by Russian society or by Kremlin.

That's the difference with the Ukraine.

The linked implementation uses logarithmic auxiliary storage but allocates extra storage such that the amount allocated is a constant and rejects inputs that are too large (inputs that wouldn't fit into any computer anyway). A similar trick can be used to convert any algorithm to "use constant space." Just allocate enough space to handle inputs of some large size and reject larger inputs.
Forget sending the pictures I view to MS, what about the pictures my customers view?

Oh, /s indeed.

No, no. Getting on the internet wasn't based on having money for it. It was based on figuring out how to wire a 300 bps modem to a phone receiver. And to do that you needed a bit of a brain. And you likely weren't going to use it to share photos of your boo and shop for your next sugar-whatever, or share your dumb recipes. If you were capable of doing it, you might have valid opinions about what was going on in the world that would be worth debating or comparing with others... and anyway, there wasn't enough bandwidth for you to be both a blank, ignorant serf and to have your brain hijacked by masses of political operatives. No, the economy of scale just hadn't developed yet to deem the opinions of each individual member of the uneducated mass to be worth the effort of advertising to [each one] separately at the time.

[edit]
Also, I'm assuming you can afford now to be on the internet and to take flights, so why can't you simply show the same amount of class that people showed when it was more difficult for them and they had to act a bit better to do so? Would that be too much to ask? Or is being a slob and intellectual degenerate some sort of proof that you're morally superior by way of being poor and not needing material things? You do realize that no matter what era we live in, the rich have nicer, shinier toys, right? What I meant by "class" was, as I said, the way you choose to comport yourself; it has nothing whatsoever to do with money.

I found this fascinating:

>It is estimated that approximately one third of the star systems in the Milky Way are binary or multiple, with the remaining two thirds being single stars.[62] The overall multiplicity frequency of ordinary stars is a monotonically increasing function of stellar mass. That is, the likelihood of being in a binary or a multi-star system steadily increases as the masses of the components increase.[61]

(later)

>While a number of binary star systems have been found to harbor extrasolar planets, such systems are comparatively rare compared to single star systems. Observations by the Kepler space telescope have shown that most single stars of the same type as the Sun have plenty of planets, but only one-third of binary stars do. According to theoretical simulations,[66] even widely separated binary stars often disrupt the discs of rocky grains from which protoplanets form.

I disagree. What made eternal september so painful was lack of intelligence, not lack of money. It is only a correlation that poor people also tend to be less educated. I don't care if my chatroom is flooded by people with just a little money, but I feel it very much if average IQ drops by 40 points, suddenly.
Chonky Pocket, the almost-pocket-sized computer
> there's no equivalent to a subreddit AFAICT

The idea (maybe not very well communicated in the README and other docs[1]) is that each instance would correspond to a "subreddit" with its distinct community. The federated aspect however still allows users from other instances to subscribe/participate. In my personal opinion building services that group multiple interests is a step in the wrong direction creating redundancy to the concept of federation itself.

He was unable to make and keep connections that he found valuable enough to preserve. He wrote a post about blowing up your life and barely concentrated on the biggest reason not to, to preserve your social connections and proximity to the people you love to spend time with.

I would be very surprised if this person did not have an "avoidant" attachment type.

I think you underestimate how severe the trauma of feeling disconnected from other humans can be.

I think the authors blog post conveys that he hasn't come to terms with the idea that "Wherever you go, there you are."
There is some dissonance in your comment. On the one hand you acknowledge that things will get bad, but you don't want people to dread how abd it will get, because some will survive?

What altruism was that? I'm not gonna listen through a half hour audio file to find out
This was an international issue that affected me personally here in Austria. Tried paying and received a cryptic error. Withdrawals via ATM, even at the bank I was affiliated with, yielded similar results.

As I encountered this just after closing time, I had to spend 34 min trying to reach a support rep, who already knew what was going on. Heard from a few friends and family that had trouble paying for groceries and other necessities, which is, of course, also quite embarrassing and, depending on how important what they wanted to buy was, simply not acceptable.

As someone who has become almost entirely reliant on GPay, I am disappointed that such an error can affect POS, withdrawals and online payment all at once, whilst taking multiple hours to address. Errors can happen, but this is simply too long for such vital services.

I will fully admit that I know absolutely nothing about the complexity behind the billions of transactions that are handled each day by these systems, beyond that they must be complex and the people working in the background on these are handling massive, difficult tasks on the regular, but I feel that ATM, POS and online should somehow be separate, so if one fails, the others can help mitigate the issues for most people. I was at the post office when first encountering the issue and had an ATM right there, which could have solved the issue in my case, had ATMs not also been affected.

The way it was, I got double the embarrassment, first failing to pay at POS, then failing to withdrawal at the same place.

Western and Eastern hunters gatherers were different groups. Seemingly WHG immigrated from North Africa and spread through Western Europe and Eastern hunter gathered came from northern Asia. Of course the two populations met and mixed in north Eastern Europe.

But at least on the male line steppe/Yamnaya/Indo European ancestry is dominant in the region especially compared to Western/Southern Europe where Early Neolithic Farmer ancestry is more prevalent (which is very low specifically in Estonia) so the descendants of hunter gatherer probably survived there much longer (however they weren’t exactly WHG in the first place)
Bourdieu is easy to read, or at least understand. 'La distinction' is the book I would start with.

Its a great book to read if you have small family issues, even if you despise us post-Marxists, if you have troubles with a son/brother/sister/daughter, it might give you keys to build a more resilient family.

The first 3 chapters are essential imho, and there is a lot of value reading further (and other books) with the caveat that it's a foundational author, and like most foundational authors, he have blind spot (he did not had real contradictors with good arguments until the last years of his career (and BTW, handled it way better than Chomsky did) (free shot, sorry).

Exact quote: "Mithoefer and his team plan to submit an application to the FDA this summer".

Shortly speaking, Mithoefer, some enthusiast that practice MDMA "trips" for women for decades (and only for women, what the hell???), only plans to do something in the future. It does not mean that he will do it in the future. It does not mean that FDA will accept his application. It only means that he continually feeds the media with rumors that his experiments in drugging abused women with currently illegal drugs will allegedly gain some kind of legitimacy in the future.

Mmk well, we're facing Reddits shutting down left and right, losing over a decade of arcane and non-trivial information about various processors, microarchitectures, non-documented standards and other artifacts of knowledge that you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.

UltraEdit has "true" support for large files meaning it doesn't have to load the whole thing into memory like most other editors (including BBEdit).
I'm very supportive of decriminalization of drug use, but calling MDMA not "extremely addicting" is just false and irresponsible. The first experience is especially great, so people usually start chasing after it. At least in a club setting. Of course there is a learning curve and most people get that you can have a profound experience only maybe once or twice a year.

Fair point on the active moderation. I've never moderated a community before so I have no idea how much work goes into it, perhaps I'm drastically underestimating it. For example I posted this before going to sleep and woke up to see that someone had spammed the site with 300+ throwaway posts. Forgot there are people like that.

I agree on the value of subreddits as private communities. I suppose private communities and tagging can still co-exist. Many different ways to design that.
I think it’s worth understanding one of the reasons discourse on the internet is so bad: it’s because there are financial incentives to do so. Consider the following: you put forward an offensive and combative position that 95% of people hate but 5% love. The extremists give you money. The same is true for upvotes.

Your chances of making money giving balanced and thought-out criticism are very low. Ask me how I know.

Anyway, what I’m pointing out is that you’re making explicit a mechanism that is already present, and one that hasn’t had great outcomes to date.
It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is
