What is this video's point?

You don't not eat animals because it will save the planet. Nothing will. (By which I mean us, in case you quote Carlin at me.)

You do it because it's the goddamned right thing to do. The chicken you buy at the store suffered through 26 days of the most dogshit existence imaginable and then was murdered.

Go watch Dominion and tell me you still want to be party to that.

The revolution will not be recorded.
The Prime Minister of India is an OBC and he got there through lifelong membership in the RSS a supposedly brahminical org. His competence as a politician and leader is unquestioned.

The President of India is a Tribal, which can roughly equate to the status of indigenous people the world over. Her speeches are legendary, especially the one where she presented the inequities of the Indian judicial system to the judges of the supreme court.

Meanwhile the darling of the left world over is the heir apparent of the opposition party, Rahul Gandhi, who is half brahmin-half Italian Catholic, but has no chance at the premiership.

What does one make of this?
HIPAA is sort of a joke to me. My perspective being that of a patient. Any doctor's office just blindly asks you sign a HIPAA authorization release form. Most patients don't realize that you have a choice to "opt out" and not sign it. But even then it doesn't matter because under HIPAA the provider may still choose to share your personal information for their own reasons.

Sure, I am doing a lot of "hand waving"- I'm not an expert on the law. I'm merely sharing my perspective on this. Would love to understand more about this specific authorization...
No.

But there are places where it isn't nearly as stark as SK or HK (the two big ones under 1.0, let alone replacement of ~2.1).

Most of Western Europe is under 1.5, which is still way under replacement rate. Sweden, France, and Iceland are at like 1.8, which is still under replacement rate but not incredibly low.

Unless you count tiny places like the Faroe Islands maybe.
For years, I had a system that the structure was mirrored in a synced cloud drive and my notetaking tool at the time, using sort by name to keep its order and using numbers, with the added benefit of just typing the first numbers when in the main folder to point the selection there.

00. inbox, 01. frequent (stuff that doesn't change and I keep coming back to, like an ID copy), 10. ---- (separator), 10. 2023, 11. 2022, 12. Prior, 20. ----, 21. developer, 22. wiki, 23. projects, 24. topics, ......, 30. ----, 31. archives, 32. downloads.

For each year I'd create a monthly folder (as the year progressed), inside a per-topic subfolder with the date prefixed, so results didn't repeat when using spotlight (2022-03-finance, 2022-03-career, 2021-05-retail), then inside the final subfolder with the files related to the event in particular, still with date prefixed.

Topics and Projects inside is a bit like PARA, which I added later, but the month by month one has been a staple. By the end of the month I did a sweep on the inbox folder, and put everything into the month folder with event name or somewhere else.

The thing is that during the pandemic I did a few experiments with this system and since then it's been such a mess, because I keep procrastinating on moving it back to what worked, as some things I tried later seemed to work but didn't. Things like... keep a lot of scattered notes in a doc file per topic? Or separate in my wiki as markdown? Merge 'topics' and 'wiki'? What about the documents related to an event, like a new broker account with all their contracts, signed stuff and such... less subfolders and more verbose filenames? Or more subfolders and more frequent archiving to keep old stuff out of sight?

I usually had this routine of tidying up in the days near the end of each month, kind of mirroring what I did in my day to day job in the office. Ever since commingling different spheres of my life, testing new tools and so on, it led to excessive cruft, duplicates and less organization overall, and I was just looking at improving my system where it fell short.
The only way you can equate censorship with banning censorship is if the death penalty and the bill of rights are also both just laws.

The difference here is that its impossible to push society into a censored echo chamber through banning censorship. You cant create the dangerous blind spots this way that are at the core of totalitarian risks.

You really should read up on totalitarianism. Your definition is quite distorted and you hit a lot of the marks when ignoring consequences in favor of frames. I can recommend Meerloos Rape of the Mind.
> books are static once printed and need an observer to run, but that doesn't mean books will always need this.

You've lost me here. Books don't run. A book is a large amount of organized text. That's the definition of a book. If you changed into into something that could also read the text, it would no longer be just a book.
Okay downvoters -- why am I wrong? Genuine question.
The issue here is a requirement to provide product labels for broadband services, with the intent of letting consumers compare between providers, i.e., before the point where they inquire about service. I totally agree that they should be required to provide a complete (and accurate!) list of taxes and fees to a potential customer before any agreement.
Employees of a taser company getting tased doesn't seem that extreme, as long as you COULD opt out.

My old employer asked men in the office to take a photo wearing red high heels as a photo of solidarity to idk.. #metoo or feminism or who knows. I imagine the men in that office felt more pressure to be in that photo than people felt pressure to get tased.
And if it was up to me, I'd rather get tased than have a photo of me in high heels. Luckily I was gone by then. But I've seen the photo.
Yes, sorry, that was sarcasm. It's incredibly funny that Scrum's most redeeming feature is for it to be so configurable. Scrum has the configurability of SAP.
Two sides of the same coin. One side is an imperialist aggressor seeking revanchism. The other side is defending their lands trying to get out from under the boot of Russian subjugation.

But sure, same coin.
I have lots of pictures from about the same epoch (probably from some great-great-great-grandparents or something like that), also on glass, with a similar name (I'm on vacation atm so I don't have them handy): maybe not "Photocrom" but something not unlike that. And I've seen people "developing" them using another method: I'm not sure if they're the same thing or not.

I clearly remember reading a blog where the person did built a little wooden box, padded the inside of the box with aluminum foil, then put a DSLR camera on a tripod. He'd then place one of these "glass" photo on the box, take a picture with the DSLR, then move on to the next "glass" photo. And then do some processing in whatever software (and the result was great).

If I recall correctly I read that these old glass photos now after 100+ years begin to fade and those that aren't developed are soon going to be lost.
Discrimination goes against article one of my country's Constitution. I don't need to know anything about caste just as I don't need to know that in some countries you can marry an 11 year old.
It sounds like you know something about this topic, but the way you've been posting about it is too inflammatory and flamebaity. Putting other people down for being ignorant isn't helpful; neither is calling names.

If you know more than others, that's great, but then the thing to do is to share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn.

I think the core argument is that distributing a proprietary driver that's obviously meant to be loaded into the Linux kernel to be useful is distributing a derived work -- since the Linux kernel has a syscall exception, but not a linking exception. So the problem isn't that Nvidia may or may not be distributing the kernel itself; it is distributing a derived work of the Linux kernel, and that must be licensed accordingly.

But I may have misunderstood/misremembered the details. It's been years since I cared enough to do a deep dive on this.
> There really should be a baseline health test that people in public office must pass.

It's called an election.

The problem is that people either don't bother to show up and vote, or vote for candidates purely by party affiliation or campaign marketing dollars.
My friend spent the night in the hospital recently, for observation.

She didn't sleep a wink. With all the beeping and alarms and periodic checks and procedures. Mostly involving her roommate.

The next morning she was mentally and physically wrecked. the first thing she told the nurse was, "I want to go home so I can get some sleep.

The nurse laughs and replies, "I hear that all the time. Nobody ever sleeps here".

Now that's messed up. Sleep is the great healer. No sleep is the great destroyer. Is this intentional or institutional insanity or what?

I mean why don't they just put strychnine in the water supply while they're at it?
That a doctors office can have a non-compete boggles the mind
That's true to a degree but it does create weird incentives where a municipality could charge a crazy-high tax and have the cost get amortized such that the bulk of it is paid for by people who live outside of their jurisdiction.

> It's pretty bizarre given there are few laws which seem more universally opposed by the open source community, and seems to me quite at odds with the values of FOSS - as is any DRM scheme.

Even if we don't like a law, it's a law, and you live in reality where it applies — and you should use it when needed. I don't find it bizarre at all.
> I think the incentives could be fixed in a simple (not easy) way, by not letting childless people benefit from the safety net spanned by children of other people.

Yeah this is the only serious fix, but once childless people become a large % of the electorate (aka it's a real problem), they can vote against assuming responsibility for the problem they created... and your country is basically in an inescapable doom loop.
I find that the demand for "loyalty" is even more problematic than the tasing or tattooing, to be honest. When anyone stresses "loyalty", especially to such a degree, that's an indication that something is very, very wrong with that person or group of people.
don't worry, I already got my dose of theo-argument out of twitter the other day.

To your question, I basically agree with Russell's argument that a truly omnipotent God can just skip means and go straight to ends. But there are multiple instances of Christ facing something unwanted--- the most memorable being the Crucifixion. If all-powerful, why go through with it? And if any good thing came of it, why not just omnipotence that thing into existence and skip the hard stuff?

Don't get me wrong, I believe in the divinity, and supremacy, of Christ, and I believe Christ when He said that "all things are possible to him that believeth". But hard omnipotence, transcending even logic, seems pretty conclusively ruled out to me.

I hope you don't kick yourself!
my favourite part of the "reasonable precautions" explanation is the possibility that if you are a known PHI leaker, the hospital might have to segregate you - (or even be able to refuse treatment)

Exactly. It's a time-saver for bureaucratic chores. And that's great.
There is no need to strive for excellence when mediocrity is required.

The tattoo thing really shocked me but I've seen people with Nike logo tattoos, of their own free will, choosing (unpaid!) for their body to be an advertisment for a company. So I guess so what, if you're sufficiently stupid or ovine.

I once went to the dermatologist, the doctor left the room briefly and had the computer screen open with everyone’s full name and reason for the visit that day…could see who was there for genital warts, Botox, etc. I don’t think anyone should expect that their health info remains private at any point
Very interesting. I once recorded all my vim keypresses to do something similar for vim, but never actually did anything with the data. Seems like it should be easily doable with this project now.
Eh that's a pretty wild statement. Some big AI and compute custers don't outweigh the vast vast majority of servers and cloud instances running Linux that will never see or need a GPU. What are these alternatives to Linux?

Perhaps the most interesting of these is Pioneertown, CA. It's a real fake real town. Built in the 1940's to look like a town from the 1880's, so in that sense it was a fake town. But it was a real town, lived in by mostly movie people. The saloon, when it wasn't used for filming? The actual town bar. Peak population was 500 or so. Many many movies and tv shows filmed there.
Did they update the TOS?
It sounds like we're in agreement about the facts here (though I am not convinced this is a good thing to do).

For the record, it has been a day and I have not figured out what you believe is wrong with the analogy. Everyone else in the thread seems to be going along with it, except for one person who correctly points out that the 'lock the doors' aspect is irrelevant. I'm not really invested in the answer (my aim was just to defend the usefulness of analogies), but that feels like a data point I should pass along.
Status symbol of intimidation. I can afford this because I'm something. Step aside. You get to telegraph your success everywhere. Especially at work. When you telegraph success it begets more success. Shiney door handles, wheels, and badges that say "Platinum."

I need to tow shit and haul building supplies. The base model tows more, gets better milage, and handles better...and costs a hell of a lot less.
Being healthy is self torture now? Seems more torturous to be obese. (Disclaimer: I am obese.)
In the waiting room they usually don't shout out "Geoff, who's here for the cock wart, the doctor will see you now"... they just say "Geoff, the doctor will see you now."

> and the business can rely on delivery dates for commercial and marketing?

Agile/scrum is almost explicitly contrary to this goal. There is a chance every two weeks to change scope, requirements, direction. What happens when requirements change? Work is redone, new work is taken on, dates get pushed. Scrum does not provide predictability beyond one sprint, it is part of the point. The work of the next sprint is based on the outcome of the previous.
This seems like very recent addition. I didn't initially see it in settings but I noticed Chrome wanted to update (I normally use Firefox). After updating there actually was a popup telling about the settings Ad Privacy with option to open the settings page. While it being opt-out setting is not great at least they did have decadency to inform me about the change which often is not the case. I forgot to take a screenshot but it did look like following: https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/new-ads-pr...
I find the map software a usability nightmare and had to give up on it. Cute but crap. I'd much prefer the data in a table that I can just... read.
That is a project I would definitely pay to support it!
> Linux is literally implementing kernel level DRM, the thing free software swore to destroy.

Free software enforcing its own principles is in no contradiction of free software. Why should proprietary software be able to get all the benefits of free software and play by none of its rules and free software is supposed to just take it?

Even democratic societies have mechanisms to protect themselves that are restrictions of some kind on expression.

There are plenty of proprietary OSes out there that give zero shits. Why there can't be some that do? Or does everything need to be just cold, industry serving tool without any human care behind it?
There's a lot more going on in the body than this. Muscle protein influences insulin resistance. Diabetes is strongly associated with inflammation which may imply that infection or pH balance (or both) plays a role. For functional hypoglycemia, metabolic syndrome and T2D, dietary changes can have substantial positive impact.

I'm thrilled to see this is happening, but the chemical inputs and various metabolic factors are far more complex than "sugar in, one hormone to lower blood glucose levels and another to correctively raise it."

> The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to all forms of health information, including paper records, films, and electronic health information – even spoken information.

HIPAA is not as limited as you state.
The point of the story is the pressure. "Opting out" is not an option if the company's culture made it clear that everyone was expected to do it.

The comparison to being asked to wear high heels (which is stupid) is distasteful: tasers kill people, and Axon is well aware that their product, in particular, has deaths attributable to it[1]. You might feel stupid in high heels, but they won't kill you.

> Any doctor's office just blindly asks you sign a HIPAA authorization release form.

I've never been asked to waive my rights. I have been asked to sign that I received their notice of privacy practices. (Almost always having not been actually given any to read, which is fairly infuriating.)

> But even then it doesn't matter because under HIPAA the provider may still choose to share your personal information for their own reasons.

Only in certain specific situations.
I assume the non-compete agreement was between the doctor and the practice, which seems somewhat reasonable.

The point doesn't have to do with religion. Rather that people (many of whom were religious thinkers) have been thinking along these lines for thousands of years.
As a sailor, you're giving sailors a bit too much credit. Those things all matter, but to say that the average sail boat racer is even optimizing for all those things efficiently at once is a huge stretch. A lot of sail boat racing is strategy and properly performing the basically in a hostile environment. If you could ensure great strategy based on learned data, and immaculate execution based on properly tuned controls, I think you'd win easily.
It probably depends on whether the contemplation triggers you into healthier lifestyle behaviors or triggers you into depression and self destruction.

I would hazard a guess that most people haven't developed their philosophy on life well enough to benefit from staring into the abyss. The catch-22 is that the only way to really get to that point is to spend some time wandering through the valley of the shadow of death. Personally, I think that sacrifice is worth it, because the only thing we are all obligated to do in life is die.
I used to work for a company which made EHR systems, and there was one product which distributed client software updates via email. As in, they would attach an *.msi file and send it.

It was a weird conversation, where we both ended up looking at each other like the other one was a total moron.

Hey,

I worked on a really perf sensitive system and for perf tests we would run the last x commits each time to get rid of the busy vm syndrome.

It meant that the margin of error could be much less.

You might want to consider it as a mid way step between vm’s and scheduling on laptops (those poor laptop batteries!)

We’ve not established the rate of expansion, if it’s accelerating, what rate it’s accelerating, or even if space is expanding. It seems likely but not proven or nailed down. Further, it’s not known if it’s possible to manipulate the expansion, such that you could create a local pocket of non expanding space. At the moment galactic space is likely not expanding, and space around black holes wouldn’t expand for an extraordinarily long time.

It does seem inevitable, but it also seems that way from our current point of knowledge. Nothing says the story ends with our current understanding.
If my needs were taken care of then so many things. An operating system, a productionized AI and LiDAR powered drone/submersible to continuously map every inch of the earth and the oceans, a way to perfect safe total gene replacement etc.
