It's because none of these claims are valid or reputable. Anti-vaxxers are making up these claims out of whole cloth, and if people spend any reasonable amount of time debunking it, then the anti-vaxxers will fall back on the same playbook as always:

1. The debunking is a lie/hoax, you can't trust these people they're working for big pharma.

2. Okay well that might not be true but what about this other completely manufactured claim?

3. This doesn't prove anything because <pseudo-science explanation>

Take a read here:

Excerpt:

> This first video shows small balls in a Petri dish moving in a strange way and connecting in a chain. It was widely circulated on social media early last week. The caption claims that it shows “graphene oxide" in the vaccine.

> Our team carried out a reverse image search and found the original version of the video on the YouTube channel of the "Stanford Complexity Group", linked to the American university of the same name.

> The video, called "Self Assembling Wires", shows steel ball bearings floating in castor oil in a Petri dish with a metal rim. An electrical current moves the balls when voltage is applied to them, and they connect to one another. There is absolutely no graphene or graphene oxide in the dish.

The reason people don't spend their time debunking these claims is that the people originating them are not making them in good faith. Doing real science to debunk blatant lies loses because it takes a lot longer to reproduce an alleged 'experiment' than it does to download a video and record new audio over top to claim it's something that it's not.

If these claims were real, then reputable sources would be reproducing them and there would be a discussion. Instead, the claims are completely fabricated and posted by random people with no credentials (or fake credentials), with baseless claims being made to support what they assert is happening.
I want to put my stuff on the internet and I honestly don't care if it's used to train AI, it's so deeply a part of so many pieces of text, does it really have such an impact?
Wikipedia has a decent overview of the why and how, as well the challenges with this approach:

Fellow former tradesman and perennial DIY-er here, I think this is dead on.

There is a fundamental mismatch between the economics of startups and the economics of trades. Startups and technology work best when you can achieve scale quickly and without friction by using the same solution repeatably. Software is ideal for this, it scales (nearly) infinitely and can continuously deliver the same result. Work in the physical world frequently requires site-specific solutions. It's more akin to consulting than engineering.

It's not surprising that startups in the space came in overly optimistic and imploded quickly. I think most tech people have a bias against the trades and think it's easily understood grunt work. The reality is that it requires deep subject matter expertise, familiarity with local markets, sites, and housing stock, and a healthy amount of on-the-fly creativity.
What school did you go to? In my grad school, there was very little money for humanities students, and they had to compete for TA positions. STEM money wasn't much of a problem, and most grad students could be RAs, and the opposite problem occurred (they were short on TAs).
No matter if stable enough or not, ReactOS is aimed to replicate a NT based system, as such it can be very different from DOS/Win9x.

Quite a lot of (DOS based but not only) tools and programs (particularly any low-level one and - generally speaking - games) that run just fine in Windows 95 won't work on NT 4.00/2000 and later, and they as well won't in ReactOS.
The touchscreen is in the flow as it is a digitally controlled door that ties position to gear selection for safety. There is method to the madness. I also wonder if they have plans for versions that are very different and thus putting it in the screen helps with reducing variance in the cab (no need for a second button, etc).
Hey friend! Thanks for the share, super cool watch.

Hope you're doing well :)
I’m not against municipalities placing restrictions on airbnbs. The reality is that they never end up doing that. That tiny mountain spot you mentioned probably LOVES all the tourism revenue.

Also I don’t really understand your point…a small TN mountain town who thrives off tourism is SO far away from the shelter needs of 99.99% of Americans.

Investors impact the market to some extent…but the insane monetary policy of 0% rates and 5 rounds of QE is EASILY the biggest factor. It’s not even close.

EDIT: lol at your last comment. I bought a brand new house in midtown Atlanta 2021.
Yeah, go into any tapas restaurant and watch tons of people order octopus.

Are you really this unobservant and poorly informed about the other humans you share the world with? Or do you just enjoy being contrarian on forums?
When I hear stories like the above I usually assume bribery and corruption are involved.
Good read. I want to believe.
>I actually work at Red Hat and IBM are very hands off.

Are you the CEO or within the decision making structure? Otherwise really it just sounds like you just aren't in on the backchannel where these instructions are issued. Oh and inb4 "There is no backchannel!", IBM is subject to Sarbanes–Oxley there's a backchannel.
And suddenly the Apple Vision Pro doesn't look expensive at all.
Yes but the ones I've seen have giant emergency shutdown buttons which I assume kills all the power to the charging cable.
> While there's obvious classism (and very-slightly-more-veiled racism)

I don't get the mind reading. Why? It's like we read completely different posts.
Just some ramblings and experiences. There are tech related content too. I am thinking of updating and revamping it.

Yeah, absolutely. In the Wells Fargo case, thousands of dollars were on the line, so it was absolutely worth the couple hundred dollars for the lawyer. But if I had been disputing a $50 overdraft fee or something like that, I'm not sure what I would have done.

(I might contact the CFPB these days, but I think this incident was before they existed.)
Isn’t there a mute or hide option ?
Isn‘t that mostly a question of the wattage the appliance needs? Here in Germany we have a Max of 3000W on the regular plugs which is why, for example, stoves need special plugs. Not sure about water heaters though
It wasn't an unfortunate incident. It was the result of decades of social issues brushed outside by politicians, from the left, and from the right, both and everything in between.

And it isn't a good example given the driver wasn't an "imported terrorist"

Not an invalid point that Europe has been importing some terrorists since libya, syria and a few other countries fell into chaos. Which countries funded, promoted and held arms and military interventions
that ultimately caused such chaos btw?

To your point there could have
have been riots, yes, why not. What was the police doing, too busy writing traffic tickets instead of working on preventing more serious threats? What were public servants doing for the city of Nice and its social total disymetry, just take a good look at the wealth on the rivera yet masses
are on minimum wages asked to pay 1000 euro for a tiny apartment.

There can't be any acceptable reason to run over anyone, but 86 people in their graves isn't a reason to implement a law which down the road would lead to even more murders which of course had a gooe chande to trigger what we've seen this last week.
Super interesting. So, Houston to LHR or is it Houston to Amsterdam? I’m from the southwest so Houston ain’t a bad jump since I usually have to go through LAX.
Yes, that's a good point, that in well-moderated environments you can call them out effectively.

And silent majority, indeed. Too bad the term "silent majority" has been co-opted by the loudest and most misguided minority.

Personally I teach adults, so in my capacity as a teacher, parental concerns are not my concerns.

In my capacity as a citizen of this country and as a taxpayer, I also don't care about busybody "concerned parents" who feel the system is failing them personally. My concern in this capacity comes down to how the system is building a better community for everyone. Individual parental concerns shouldn't turn into culture wars.
You might be a customer for Bob Shaw's fictional 'slow glass':

Travelling through a remote area, they find a place that sells panes of slow glass. This is glass that light takes a long time to pass through, even years, so that a pane of this glass shows a scene from the past. People buy slow glass that has been placed in picturesque scenery so that later they can enjoy the view in their homes or workplaces.

It's a good saying, but something leaving in exposition. Each addict is different, but frequently the drug/alcohol is not what the addict wants.

Think of the addict in relapse more as saying “yeahhhh gonna let loose and party hard and have a lot of fun and go wild and crazy.” The overindulgence is the point, the feeling of freedom and abandon.

I liked the way Craig Ferguson put it in American on Purpose, he said that if he could drink alcohol “socially” the limited way other people do, it wouldn't be interesting to him in the first place.

This is also why people get addicted to casinos, it's a similar “woooo, party!!” desire. People who are addicted to junk food also have this, they call it a “cheat day,” the idea is not that I slipped myself an extra Oreo, but that I decided to slip myself the extra Oreo and then declared it a cheat day and then ate puddings and cakes and pizza and guzzled soft drinks and “wooo, party day, calories don't count”...

One typically doesn't “change that want,” one buries it. It still keeps coming up as an “I am overwhelmed with the boring tedium of adulthood can't I go back to being a reckless kid and partying all night?” and you say “Look, having fun is why we have playing that guitar in the backyard or lifting or jamming out to music or planning a week off in Colorado, we have to do the less intense adulty fun things that build us up now, because we know what happens when we do the reckless childish fun things that tear down (and have torn us down, over and over and over and over again)... and we have to grow up so that we don't lose everything and die alone in a ditch.” So you bury the want, not allowed to want “woooo party time!!”, because you have hit rock bottom several times now and you know that you don't have an ability to have a healthy relationship with that internal party-fiend, because he will react to the stress of money being tight by wanting to gamble more, will react to the weight gain by having more cheat days, will react to the hangover by looking for a cider in the fridge. Can't give him a foothold in your life again.
The reason they collect telemetry usually is why they say they do - to improve the product. If it's commercial software then, sure, the ulterior motive is to get more money out of you, but they're doing that by making you like the product more so, great?

And if you're worried that your user case (e.g. not-systemd) will be deprecated then that's a good reason to keep it on and be represented. I bet people who used Firefox's RSS feature were more likely than usual to turn off telemetry, yet that didn't save their feature. If anything, it may have made Mozilla more confident in removing it
Pickpockets - This is one of the most common crimes happening in the city. ALWAYS watch your personal belongings and if possible don't carry unneeded cash with you or any important documents such as passports or IDs. Be very wary in the metro especially during rush hour (if possible have your bag in front of you) and Times Square, which is a hotspot for pickpockets. Also, be on the lookout for outright muggings.

Yeah. The other day I got a stale donut from Tim Horton’s, so I cancelled my doctor’s appointment at TGH. If Canada can’t even serve fresh donuts, how can I expect them to provide competent medical care? It’s the same people.
The US government used covid as an excuse to soft-censor misinformation from social media.
Getting oppressed and murdered by the police on a systemic basis is somewhat different compared to some individual's terrible reaction to a provocation. it's a sick system vs a sick individual, thus it's quite the reach to make that comparison.

Furthermore, your argument fails on the premise that it assumes a symmetry of power between these groups, which is not the case. anyone who doesn't know much about france's history with immigrants should watch La Haine(1995)[0], it's a movie but it gives a good glimpse into what's going on.

I really like the /r/AcademicBiblical/ community on Reddit for these kinds of things. I'm also much more into the spiritual and mystical aspects of Christianity, which, IMO, were either obfuscated or intentionally removed. Couple this with the wide range of translations and you get a boring result.
this could be a nuance/difference of "a character" of a story and a real person's "character"
NYC. Chicago. Detroit. Atlanta. This ain't it chief. There is no correlation between "fewer guns" and "more petty theft". The common factor is culture of crime and it comes in different flavors. There are countries in Europe that completely outlawed even pistol ownership without extensive classes and expensive licenses, and yet they're some of the safest countries in the world. Has to do with culture and general population hostility, and the tensions and hostility will always naturally be higher among the armed population as been proved by history time and time again.
A surprising number of words trace back to some form or other having to do with carving, cutting, boring into. See also analuein and krinein. It makes for some fantastic one-liners, like Foucault's C'est que le savoir n'est pas fait pour comprendre, il est fait pour trancher: Knowledge isn't made for understanding, it's made for cutting.
Bringing up lack of access to sanitation hardly matters in this context.

Almost everything can be deemed as not worth doing because we need to fix sanitation first.

The author of the post is probably implicitly trying to say ‘everyone [who can] should’.

The person who posted about sanitation and taking “everyone” to mean literally everyone in the world, is being overly pedantic in my opinion.
> Why would you not root for AI? Its potential to improve humanity is huge even if there are potential bad sides.

That's just garbage propaganda from the hype men. I don't buy it and you shouldn't either. We don't live in a sci-fi fantasy novel.

The real end game for "AI" is power for the few, with little need for the plebs (us), so no need to share any of that power. That's what our current social structure will give us, and "AI" isn't going to change that structure.
So when you get jumped in a hallway, a concussion so hard you black out, multiple broken ribs from being kicked while on the ground & then you wake up in a hospital with no memory of the event, you should consider that it is OK you got suspended for getting your ass beat?
I'm surprised no one in this thread is talking about urbanization. I guess the trend has slowed little bit in recent years from it's breakneck speed, but by and large people are still shifting from rural to urban on the average and that effects the housing supply in the majority of desirable cities. Certainly moreso than immigrants, lol.
Love the design (rear lighting, doors, dashboard [1], all the very functional handles and space design for easy movement). It's always funny how it takes electric vehicles for car companies to take risks or do something different.

So, you use telemetry to figure out why planes are [nearly] crashing?

Do you work for Boeing or something?

When I've worked on mission critical (so, safety critical, in practice), we made sure the probability of catching a failure in testing was 100x the chance of catching it in production.

Modern software development techniques like fault injection and fuzzing make this pretty easy to achieve.
Music on phone and messages with focus times or do not disturb. I rarely log into any personal things on my work computer.

I encrypt and email my weekly notes or reports to build my resume or send personal things home from work if necessary.

I tried using apple notes for sync between iOS/macOS/pc and it fails due to slow or no updates. Only work around I found is pin/unpin each note which gets annoying.

My co-worker uses a personal PC laptop and remotes into a work PC so he controls what work sees.
> 'move fast and break stuff' isn't really an option (fortunately so).

Imagine the disruption if every second skyscraper would be leaning Millennium Tower of San Francisco.
This is of course a hard question. One step certainly would be to encourage French companies to hire and train their own population.

I don't think pushing up the retirement age matters too much for youth unemployement, as those two groups compete for very different jobs (no 60+ year old will start vocational training as a nurse).

"How do we make the economy good" is obviously an extremely hard problem. I think a very important question is whether the 17% are actively seeking for jobs or considering themselves already entirely removed from the system.

France has a large industrial base, with many, many large companies (and suppliers for those companies), training people to have skills relevant to those companies seems an important consideration.
> You can’t just claim legitimate interest

You totally can, until someone challenges you and proves you don't; otherwise, common sense applies. A storage unit might have a legitimate interest in keeping license plate numbers but an ad company probably doesn't.

As with most things in law, there is no black-and-white. Just use your brain. If you feel like you can stand up to a judge and defend it with a straight face and no mental gymnastics, you're probably golden.

That's a ridiculous amount of leave. A man does not need much time outside abnormal circumstances for paternity leave. I would almost never work, as my wife and I have a baby every year or two.
> Despite extensive sampling and analysis of wildlife

There has not been extensive sampling of wildlife, nor of farmed wild animals. It seems that China closed down wild animal farms across the country very quickly after it discovered the outbreak, and there are no published studies of these farms that I'm aware of.

> The closest virus to SARS-CoV-2 is RaTG13

RaTG13 is no longer the closest known relative to SARS-CoV-2. A closer virus, BANAL-52, has since been discovered by a French team in Laos. It turns out that if you start looking, you start finding wild viruses that are closer to SARS-CoV-2 than anything previously known. This in itself already disproves any lab-engineering scenario, unless you start invoking actual cloak-and-dagger conspiracies (e.g., between the French researchers who discovered BANAL-52 and the Wuhan Institute of Virology).

> The furin cleavage site, which allows the virus to efficiently infect human cells, is not found in most close relatives of SARS-CoV-2.

Furin cleavage sites are not rare in coronaviruses, and it's known that they can develop (e.g., through recombination with coronaviruses that have them). There's basically zero chance that the specific furin cleavage site in SARS-CoV-2 could have been inserted by researchers, because it's caused by an out-of-frame insertion.

> Wuhan, where the first cases of COVID-19 were detected, is over 1,000 kilometers away from the region where the closest bat coronaviruses were found. The market where the first cluster of cases was identified did not sell bats.

Change the word "Wuhan" to "Guangzhou," and you've just perfectly described the origin of the original SARS outbreak in 2002. Guangzhou is also 1000 km from where the bats live, and the virus wasn't brought to Guangzhou by bats. It was brought there by the wild animal trade (in fact, the same sorts of animals were sold in the Wuhan market as in the Guangzhou markets). The Wuhan market outbreak is a carbon copy of the original SARS outbreak.
Minimizing supply (new houses) is critical to preserving asset value (existing homes).
Sure, on a case by case bases, but I keep the original raw.
I was thinking about the automation when doing earthwork when I was in the field 20+ years ago.
They tried some things. Like set up a laser to spin shoot across the site and the dozer blade had a reader that would tell the operator to go up or down. That apparently only works if the laser level was setup up correctly they learned.

i am suggesting the two strategies might have similar trade offs/benefits though I am not familiar enough with attention mechanisms to say for sure.

it's a comparison/analogy?
> The resulting grooves tend towards virtue or vice.

Virtue & vice are kind of an arbitrary way to device up those "grooves", and what constitutes virtue or vice varies by context/perspective.

I would argue there are a LOT more dimensions to character, and some are arguably more important than that one, but I otherwise agree with your metaphor.

I wear a platinum wedding ring for much the same reason. While it's really hard to break a platinum ring, they accumulate scratches quite easily. A ring that endures but carries with it scratches and grooves from the life you've lived seems like a pretty good metaphor for marriage.
With that logic you could say that 95% of users could keep leaving because you keep focusing on the minority use cases.

Would you rather attrite a fraction of 95% of your users or a fraction of 5% of your users.
