Simple way would be to add a “curl” target. Looks like you’d just need to write up a method that matches this Request interface [0] to some curl command substrings you mash together.

Problem is of course: the headers and options are all going to be included. You could make it so it organizes them better though, maybe indenting and grouping like-options together so it’s easier to remove stuff. Working with a IR of a network request was a good choice by the author!

There are two points which matter:

- No more bots or fake propaganda accounts.

- Illegal content, such as insults or the like, will not get published. And if it does, it will have direct consequences.

I'm also not tending towards a requirement to have all social networks ID'd, but I think that a Twitter alternative which enables a more serious discussion should exist. A place where politicians and journalists or just citizens can post their content and get commented on it, without all that extreme toxicity from Twitter.
It is about the government's (state and federal) ability to regulate if you can post on privately owned websites.

Magnetic amplifiers existed before triodes, dating back to at least 1885:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_amplifier

However, these have the major drawback that they can only control the amplitude of an AC signal, and that with a lot of distortion. They could only be used to amplify audio with reasonable quality by amplitude modulation of a sufficiently high-frequency carrier, which itself was difficult to generate before vacuum tube amplifiers. As far as I know, the only two techniques that could do it were excitation of an LC resonant circuit using a carbon arc lamp, or using a very fast alternator that worked a lot like the Teleharmonium itself. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_converter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexanderson_alternator

The AM signal could then be demodulated using various techniques that existed before the triode, e.g. a vacuum tube diode (invented before the triode in 1904), or if you don't want to use vacuum tubes at all, a crystal detector (principle discovered in 1874) or electrolytic detector (invented 1903), although I'm not sure those have the power handling capability to be useful for what the Teleharmonium was doing.

I think it's hyperbolic to look at tobacco like other drugs. Tobacco is a lifestyle thing, it doesn't get you high, it's a cultural habit. There are only upsides to getting rid of the social demand for it.

If you think taking tobacco away from consumers is infantilizing, why yes, yes it is. We are dealing with children's futures. Adults get to continue smoking, children less likely to even want to smoke as the social acceptance goes down and with that there is less and less desire to smoke. Nicotine doesn't do much other than get you addicted, no one is chasing after a pronounced high with it, people start smoking because it's perceived as cool.

I can't imagine an adult wanting to start smoking, most adults get addicted in their teens.

I think you have have an import ban, and a black market, and still see significant gains in eroding the demand. I do not think people should be prosecuted for possession, but the UK will probably make some bad decisions there, but that doesn't mean the overall policy is bad.

VOO is up since the iRobot acquisition was announced, which would have resulted in the effective price increasing over time, the opposite of what they want.

Nasdaq is ~ flat since then, which also would not capture the economic dynamic desired (some tech valuations have fallen). The Nasdaq Tech 100 does an even worse job at capturing the dynamic: it's up nearly 50% since the deal was announced.

You'd have to use something a lot more specific, like a basket of specific stocks or some very small sub-index. But then a smaller basket could have a lot more volatility that may be endogenous to a small set of companies, and someone has to get paid for that volatility.

As someone with a stable of 12+ carbon, steel, titanium and aluminum bikes, meh at most. I think this is marketing over reality. The only real benefit I see for carbon is you can make a much more aero frame, end of story. Hard to make round tubes aero.

This part , however, is straight non-sense. My titanium road bike has taken hits that have put multiple carbon bikes out of commission in the same time frame. Titanium and steel are drastically more durable, will take much harder hits and are repairable.

There's as much an Atheism movement as there is a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc.
Okay, I'm going to give you the Great Recession, despite the fact that it was temporary which is counter to your argument. And despite the fact that you can't tell if it's causal or not. For all we know, people drove less because they had no job to drive to. And in response, gasoline prices went up to compensate for lesser sales, while operating costs remained unchanged. Or, in short, gas prices went up because we drove less. A similar argument could be made for Europe today. High gas prices, because they drive less. Not less than they used to, but less. Meanwhile operating costs are the same.

But let's take it. So the assumption is that there is an alternative that is better than gasoline. Nuclear is largely dominant on the coasts and gasoline usage is roughly half for goods delivery across the middle of the country where everything is coal powered. So at least for the moment, do you prefer reliance on gasoline or coal for goods delivery?

A lot of things can cause cancer. For example, prostatitis and inflammation likely cause cancer, and likely are also correlated with it metastasizing. (I'm not claiming it's the cause or a sole reason but the evidence suggests it increases the risks.) I've never looked into parasites but it's possible parasites are associated with an increased relative risk of cancer, and the mechanism of action would probably be inflammation.

My guess is people are in effect checked for parasites by way of annual bloodwork and annual checkups. If someone started losing weight, for example, they'd go see a doctor who might investigate for parasites if the symptoms point to it. There is probably not much reason to do an annual parasite-specific test in people. Livestock cannot talk to us about their symptoms, and eat all sorts of crap, so there's some important difference there.
Some say carbon fiber has the steel-like dampening properties. And steel can be welded by anyone. OTOH an aluminum bike has to have suspension because it is so harsh to ride w/o it.

A lot of cops would explicitly and openly rather you just die from bad drugs. There are many that openly refuse to carry Narcan, because a human life second(or twentieth) chance is apparently not worth $25 to them.

I don't understand that level of complete lack of empathy.

As somebody who made a decent chunk of change (enough to get a 1099 from PredictIt in 2020 and 2021) off the situation... long shot bets are almost always overpriced on PredictIt.

PredictIt specifically encourages these long shots to be over weighted thanks to their $850 risk limit in any given market. If one long-shot bettor places a max buy order for YES at 10c per share, the order book has 8500 buys at that price point. I can come along, see that what they're betting on is absolutely nuts and max out NO... but at 90c per share I can only fill 944 of those orders before I'm maxed out at my $850 risk limit. I might be supremely confident and WANT to bet $7,650 on this but I simply am not allowed to. So it takes eight more people like me to come along and plunk that money down before we're moving the needle on the order book.

In the 2020 election they somewhat mitigated this by making a dozen markets that were all basically the same question: Is Trump going to succeed at overturning this? They had markets for each state, plus combo markets they added like "Will Trump win any of AZ, GA, PA", plus the electoral college markets, the margin-of-victory markets, etc. But it was still way more effort to go in with a big chunk of change and manage spreading your bets out across all those different markets to max your $850 caps as efficiently as possible.

This is in addition to the other factors, that it is simply more FUN for people to gamble on long odds because it's like buying lottery tickets (who wouldn't want a 10:1 return?). And that, when you factor in fees, opportunity cost (I could have this money in the S&P 500), and counterparty risk (how long will my money be tied up if PredictIt gets shut down), it's really not very attractive to put money in shares in the $0.90-0.99 range unless A. you already have the cash sitting in your PredictIt balance and B. the end date of the market is known and approaching rapidly.

No good reason? Aerodynamics, period, end of story. I spend all my training hours on a titanium road bike. Why? It's durable. On race day, though, I'm on a top of the line aero road bike. Why? Because it's fast, noticeably. You simply cannot make round tubes aerodynamic and when you're racing at 25+ MPH it does make a real difference.
Is it actually possible to make money against these small odds predictions? If I look at this page, it has dems win by 215+ at 2 cents. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/8077/What-will-be-t...

So I buy a "no" contract for 98 cents, and sell it for $1 in most of a year. Maybe someone who has used the platform can chime in, but the terms of service seem to suggest I don't get any interest on my contract money meanwhile. So I'm underwater already probably, then I pay 5% to the platform when I withdraw. Obviously the time-value thing gets better as the end approaches, but you'd expect most low-probability events to decline in price too.

In university before co-op, many years ago, I worked for home depot part time. the line employee profit share was really bad. the management profit share was better. They understaffed my department for long periods of time to make their numbers look better. They were making $15k/day in profit on my department but they wouldn't schedule a second employee so that there was someone there to help people when person #1 was on the saw, on the forklift, or covering lunch for the next department over too.

I quit mid june after I realized they weren't hiring/scheduling more staff for the summer even though every day was very busy, constantly running between helping customers and taking care of other things.

There are a lot of ways to make profit and show good metrics that aren't good for line employees.
In H. sapiens this has less to do with speciation and more to do with economic drivers. That is, we adapt to societal circumstance more than other species do. Examining populations in the 18th century, you needed to have a higher number of children, because half of them were likely to not make it to adulthood.

In modern Western society, this is no longer true, but that's a new wrinkle that has arrived in the last fifty years. That family behaviors didn't change to a noticeable degree until roughly twenty years ago, tells you there's something more going on than "the species is just like that."

I enjoyed using Google plus more than any other social network, and managed to create new connections and/or have standard, authentic, real conversations with people I didn't know, most of them ordinary people with shared interests that I would probably wouldn't meet otherwise, some of them are people I can't believe I could connect with directly in any other way - newspapers and news sites editors, major SDK developers. And even with Kevin Kelly.
I am not advocating for Adobe trying to market to existing Linux users who don't use Adobe products: I am advocating for Adobe attempting to commoditize their complement by building a custom distribution of Linux with its own first-party UI toolkit... maybe we call it AdobeOS, similar to how Google decided to make a play with ChromeOS. ChromeOS is now way more popular than "Linux": I think the same would be true for AdobeOS, and I think it would be remarkably little effort for Adobe to move in that direction.

FWIW, I do appreciate: "they don't need to do that as long as Windows doesn't get so bad that you stop using Adobe products because of it", and I sadly appreciate that maybe that market is pretty small (and so far doesn't even include me); but like, the logic for why I could see Apple or Google building their own OS in such a situation somehow stands: Adobe absolutely gets burned by Apple and has most of the same benefits to be had as Google for moving to a self-controlled vertical stack.
