It's because they're not only talking about everyday visible inflammation. My understanding is that "inflammation" is a phenomenon in which cells release chemicals telling other cells that there's an injury, pathogens, or toxins nearby. These chemicals cause other cells to release further chemicals (a "signalling cascade"), leading to all sorts of effects ranging from the familiar swelling and redness and summoning of immune cells, all the way to allergic reactions, neural effects, long-term health outcomes, and (apparently) increased social media use. The effects no doubt differ based on the types and levels of inflammation-signalling compounds being released (of which there are many).

The overall level of inflammation is commonly determined by measuring the level of C-reactive protein in blood (it rises as a result of inflammation). It's commonly measured in blood tests.

There's a natural role for inflammation in the body, but it's also possible to have too much inflammation and experience negative outcomes as a result. A lot of recent research has been about the effects of inflammation signalling throughout the body, and much of the interest in antioxidants is because they may serve to reduce oxidative stress (which damages cells and also comes about as a result of inflammation).

> For example, self-inflicted disability (morbid obesity for example) should be subject to a different test of means than birth defects.

I don't really agree with this.

First, I don't see "abuse" of the system being a major problem that needs to be defended against. If someone wants to destroy their future health by Homering, let 'em. They aren't extending their life by eating themselves to death.

But even if that's the concern, I'm pretty sure we could circumvent a lot of those issues simply by subsidizing disability causing conditions (such as building/maintaining public gyms). We can prevent people from getting there in the first place which would greatly reduce the problem of "abuse".

Strong means tests are expensive to run and ultimately will filter out people that actually need assistance. If we are going to apply a social filter, I'd rather side with letting those that don't deserve it in than keeping those that deserve it out.

This is born out with homelessness studies. Applying sobriety or religious tests before sheltering the homeless ultimately keeps people homeless. Housing first, on the other hand, has a tendency to make people sober.
the difference between law and code is the interpreter: law is interpreted by humans, significantly based on perceived intent, and code is interpreted by computers, which are expected to only act literally and deterministically.

The takeaway is similar to the article: think very, VERY hard about your examples and sample code. It doesn't just have to be correct and demonstrate the features, it also needs to be fairly robust so that customers don't hurt themselves with it.

You cannot include a message that requires the formation of a binding contract. This is the old “you can fire someone for no reason but not any reason”, and if the message your product shows is a prompt forcing the user to agree to a binding contract, its not GPL compatible.

I agree that in this case it’s likely not enforceable/binding especially since the GPL specifically allows you to ignore those terms. Hopefully that’s legally binding in your jurisdiction vs the other party.

But it’s a straightforward clickwrap agreement, even if the terms are non-monetary the GPL simply doesn’t allow these at all. Can’t place any stipulations on how the user uses the software.
This is a long-winded way of saying that people have unprecedented access to information yet lack the ability to adequately filter or contextualize it, leading to foolishness.

Is this just a "those backwards rednecks" crack, or do you have some evidence to back this up? "Well-run" Massachusetts has a big scandal around their state police every few years. Most recently in 2022, a former president of the state police union was convicted of RICO charges.

Do states like the ones you mentioned have higher RICO convictions of law enforcement and other state officials per capita, or something?

I'm in a similar boat. I am trying to make things move forward as best I can. Unfortunately having self respect and not being willing to let people walk on me socially is career limiting.

I guess what pisses me off most is what I'll call the metadishonesty of it all. It's a system of exploitation we are supposed to be happy to be abused by. We are looked at as heretics for suggesting it doesn't need to be as awful as it is. Yet we continue to subject ourselves to it despite knowing it wont work because what the fuck else are you supposed to do?

I have an answer, but it's not a satisfying one. I'm working on making fishing lures. I found a widget I can own 100% myself and I'm trying to carve out a little e-commerce 1 man show. I hope it works. I'm working the most soul crushingly corporate job I've ever had and it takes every ounce of energy I have to tolerate that. When I am not stressing about my job I have to find a way to use what little energy I have left (none) to keep building the technical things I wish I could do at work.

Even the great jobs I had were rampant with inequality and unfairness. I looked past it because I was enjoying what I did. It always sucks on the outside there's no warmth away from the fire. Fire is still dangerous and you can be pushed into the firepit for the benefit of others. This doesn't seem to matter when you are alone in the cold.

Make the radical thing happen by picking a side. If you feel strongly about this, align with something that activists have been advocating for for decades instead of "pain oriented policy" or something idiosyncratic like that. You have way more agency than you think.

I propose a hidden advantage Rationalists, science folks, and "critical thinkers" in general have over philosophy folks is that the above line can be magically drawn wherever the artist pleases, with a justification much more pleasing to the crowd.

What the author of this article seems to miss - and I'm not sure how - is that the whole purpose of this genre of fiction - speculative alternative future - is to prevent the future in the novel, not to be able to look back 70+ years after the novel is published and say, "Called it."

Social media is a form of high speed communication. That, in and of itself, it's not "bad". What makes it have a negative impact on society are the algorithms that have been put in place to sculpt what users experience on the platform. It brings together users with similar (sometimes irrational) thought patterns. This creates echo chambers and the illusion that a person's illogical beliefs are held by a majority of people. That can lead to polarization and galvanization of extremist beliefs. That is a very bad thing indeed.

On a more superficial level, it often creates a culture of comparison, where people judge themselves in relation to the lifestyles they see others apparently living. I use the word "apparently" because most of those lifestyles are complete fiction. None the less, that comparison can convince a person that they're "losing at life", which can lead to depression and all of the problems that come with it.

Why are people using it? To satisfy the innate human need for social connection.
I wonder if the author of the article feels differently about Flatpak today (a great deal has changed in the past 2 years, and Flatpak seems to have a vibrant future today).
The theory is they'll just drive anyway without a license. Plus in many/most parts of the US, a car is effectively required to live, so removing one's ability to drive is a seriously major punishment. The whiskey plate indicates to other drivers that the car could be more dangerous than expected, and yes, I think the shame is supposed to be a component as well. It's harm reduction, not a perfect solution.

I don't know if the theory works in practice.
> I feel like the biggest thing the US could do is remove means-testing from our disability aid programs. Means testing usually does not feel like an effective way to distribute services.

This was an argument for "libertarian" universal income.

Reminds me of a large company I worked at, I had some documents for developers how to set up some local environment thing they had to do exactly 1 time and never again. It was just a handful of terminal commands, all starting with the traditional shell notation like:

$ (some command)

Over the course of a year I got periodic complaints that it "wasn't working" and I tried to find issues on my end and couldn't. One particularly vocal dev came to me directly and insisted it was broken, so I went on a shared session with him, it turns out they were pasting the "$" into the terminal causing it to say: "$: command not found."

That was the source of all the complaints, once I removed it, they stopped.
> increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), which the liver makes in response to inflammation in the body, can promote social media use among middle-aged adults and college students.

Sounds like they found correlation and called it causation. I’m keeping an open mind, but I find this article dubious. No link to any of the studies, no alternative explanations (I would guess any negative health markers are associated with higher tech use), and the title is a little too strong “Inflammation linked to social media use” would be easier to swallow, or even “contributes to”.

I find press releases like this both not useful and overall bad for the scientific community. It’s unfortunate because this may genuinely be an interesting line of research.

Inflammation is the chronic response from the body's immune system to invasive foreign agents like bacteria, viruses, toxin, etc. The immune system sends out inflammatory cells and others to fight the invading agents and to heal the injured area. The area can become painful and swelling.

I don't think PHP needs "saving". PHP jobs pay less because of supply and demand. There's likely more PHP developers out there than any other language. Higher supply leads to lower salaries.

This isn't really a problem; this is one of the selling points of using PHP. PHP is a a great choice for small websites; but if you're planning on building a product or SaaS with it then it's likely not the best tool for the job. However; in those cases it's main advantage is likely that developers are cheap and abundant.
