Sometimes I think playing geopolitics too strong as America does could alienate everyone. E.g. Russell Hantz in Survivors

Or maybe not, since these things are done on decades scale, people / institutions change, circumstances change and there is no emotional weightage to the memory of wrong doing since its the people who hold such weightage.

Or maybe, it's all "priced in".

The defining villain of Survivor during its late 2000s and early 2010s seasons, Russell Hantz's chaotic and destructive style of gameplay revolutionized and changed the way Survivor would be played going forward. His gameplay style is very fast-paced and aggressive in style, focusing on deliberately creating as much mischief and nightmare conditions at camp, in order to control and manipulate those around him. At the same time, he would constantly search for idols without any clues, using them to continue his life in the game while seemingly at the bottom.

It's hard to deny just how impactful Russell's game plan was in his early seasons, as his style of complete villainy had never been seen on Survivor before, and it completely took control of his first season, Survivor: Samoa. Through brute force and complete chaos, he was able to flip around an 8-4 disadvantage at the merge, leaving his enemies destroyed for even thinking they could stand up to his strategic wit. He had a similar reign in his second time around in Heroes vs Villains, once again taking control and using his chaotic prowess to make it to the final three. However, while Russell can find ways to make it to the final three back-to-back, his failed social game has made him one of the strongest Survivor players to never win the game.
> study after study that ADHD is real. Its been shown that ADHD is either the inability or significant reduction of processing dopamine, or the inability or significant increase in dopamine production. That’s all there is to it.

Its not, though, because while the dopamine/norepinephrine chain seems to be the main issue in ADHD, serotonin also seems to be implicated, as low serotonin levels are associated with it and serotonin-targeting interventions also seem to help.

But, yeah, your more general point is correct; ADHD is undeniably a real condition.

The rise of the Internet and the dot-com boom happened largely without OSS, on proprietary UNIXes, proprietary web server engines, and proprietary database engines.

FAANG and other high tech businesses can easily afford very expensive servers and datacenters to house them thanks to the very very fat profit margins. They can also easily afford the cost of an OS license and other software tools.

„Manufacturing consent“, as Noam Chomsky has described it with regards to media. How many areas can you think of where the public is misled. „Yeah, sugar is not to blame.“ or „Smoking does not cause cancer.“ or „You need to eat meat for good health.“ These opininons are pushed by powerful media conglomerates. But not only health-wise: Think Ukraine war, Gaza (portraying them constantly as aggressors, the other side as defenders), environment (still lots of people deny environmental changes), harmfulness of weapons in the US, and so much more.

I had the good fortune that the people the government sent to my school to teach such nonsense were the unhealthiest people I had ever seen in my life up to that point. A good priming for a 7 year old into distrusting the government and the start of a resolve to a general rule of thumb that the people telling me how to be healthy should at least appear healthy themselves.

Either way it's phonetic; it's not based on either the radicals or the strokes. Even though there are input methods that use those, they are not commonly used.
I think it's also worth lauding their approach to a shutdown. They informed users it was going to happen nearly a month in advance, and the userbase proceeded to use that time to mourn, celebrate, exchange contact info with their friends, help one another build personal sites and/or organize taking refuge with other websites and communication tools. At the beginning of October the site was "frozen" and every user was emailed a link for downloading machine-readable archives of every post, comment, and user preference from their accounts. Cohost remains read-only browsable until the end of the year, after which the founders intend to forward their domain to an archive.org-hosted snapshot of everything public.

These days you're lucky to get a few day's notice and a "thanks for the incredible journey, now get the hell out" email when a site folds.
Could it be some other chemical to blame that you are exposed to day-to-day? With so many additives, preservatives, colorants, detergents, cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, paints, disinfectants, plastic packaging, synthetic clothing, herbicides, pesticides, glues in furniture, car exhaust, rubber dust, and other chemicals around us, canola oil would not be my first guess of something causing rashes or allergies.
In the days of the good old internet pre social networks and big tech that so many people are nostalgic about, folks mostly communicated using internet forums that were mostly moderated by enthusiasts.

This whole thing strikes me as an attempt to have your cake and eat it to. Trying to recreate the vibes of the old school web that was largely ran by enthusiasts for enthusiasts while actually running it the way a big corp or a VC-funded startup would.

I think that this is a little bit hypocritical.
But yet they both did actually do a bunch of other things, especially exercising the power of the bully pulpit.

Or alternatively if we do take it for granted that presidents are quite constrained in what they themself can do (aka "separation of powers"), then why is the original comment talking as if there would be some massive sea change next time when there wasn't one last time?

This seems like another bit of Schrödinger's Trump. Like how he's both the most powerful most successful person, and also just an unfortunate victim that other people are always doing mean things to.
I mean, to use the same analogy:

1. A lock maker does not have liability if someone uses a battering ram on my door, or if I give a key to the wrong person.

2. A lock maker may certainly have liability if the lock has a design defect and can be readily opened without a key.

I see no problem with holding software liable for the latter category and not the former, provided the liability is proportionate to the value being protected.

Software makers have skated by with poor quality software for a long time, based mostly on the fact that users can't tell the difference. As the field gets more sophisticated and software is relied on for more and more important things, this needs to change.
Are you honestly implying fats aren’t easy to gain weight on? There’s a reason arctic explorers packed lots of butter and oils. It’s a super efficient way to store energy and consume it.
I'm not replying in the context of the gp, but more curious about where you see a line to be drawn (or if you see no line ?).

I'm personally not sure where I stand, but there is a whole can of worms when we start to evaluate which animals "deserve" protection and on what grounds. For instance many of the characteristics you underline probably apply to crows, except crows are either categorized as nuisance or only tolerated in many places in the world.

And it might be too much expanding the subject, but there is a chance that most animals that are living in urban or technically advanced settings are getting some boost on "inteligence" and will show traits that make them better fit for a human environment, including better display of emotions for instance. I think we're already seeing such a development in cats, and as animals crossing that threshold would be protected while other get the boot, the selection for that trait could happen pretty fast.
Not sure how you read into any of those things in the parent comment. Dark Age he's suggesting already exists in cosmology in form of short period of rapid inflation that started and ended for no reason other than without it we can't fit inflationary cosmology to observation at all.

And the author of the article has a long history of misrepresenting science and has direct financial incentive to push her specific view.

There is no evidence that Nina Teicholz should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to her arguments and plenty of evidence that she should be treated with skepticism.

I've made this bet with some of my friends for this election cycle: the polls are wrong, I just don't know in which direction yet.

I'll save this topic at least. In just a few short weeks we will see which theories were correct. But its important to see these predictions _BEFORE_ the election results are announced.

There will be a lot of people after the election pretending to be correct and on the "I Told You So" despite their poll numbers being bullshit. So now is the time to collect arguments and theories.
It can still be simple -- look at it like this: 200 calories of Oreos provides very little additional benefits, while 200 calories of meat provides more additional benefits for your diet. It doesn't matter as much when comparing Oreos to meat, but it really matters when you're comparing orange juice to soda. The processing might play a factor, but really you're looking for calories containing nutrients that keep you alive and healthy -- processing level is pretty subjective.

This is either a true Chopin composition or there's some brilliant musician out there able to make compositions that sound like one.

A great execution too from Lang Lang.
Ok, I don’t share that heuristic personally. That said, if that’s yours, then I encourage you to compare Teicholz’s output with, say, Walter Willett’s (who would take the position that SFA is a risk factor for CVD).

Teicholz is considerably snarkier than Willett so, even by that metric, you should lean in favour of Willett’s position that SFA is unhealthy, I guess?
As someone who has spent their fair share of days in Vancouver, it blows my mind during some wet early mornings, that this city was where cyberpunk's cradle could be considered, where Gibson wrote Neuromancer. The rain, the grit, the grey, all shared across time and space and pages, and in between each of them, glimpses of the future. It's something about the genre that delights my sense of wonder, of who we as a species have come from and where we're going.
Think of the trees! ;)

Communism was developed to combat this issue.

We’ve known about this problem for a while and communism was the solution to it. But there’s an even bigger problem with communism is the lack of correct incentives.

Turns out capitalism is better than communism purely because it has the right incentives.

In most countries we have hybrid models.

> We need a new economics

Right now many parts of the US are dangerously close to extremist liberalist agendas. It’s as big of an issue (if not bigger) as the neoconservative issue back when bush jr was president.

Wouldn’t be surprised if liberalism took over and communism became the overarching thought process. We already redefined pronouns.

True, but not all mixers are DJ mixers.
On unions, I don’t think anyone opposes the practice in its basic free market form, i.e. a group of employees banding together to negotiate as a collective entity instead of as separate individuals.

In a free market, the company can freely negotiate with this entity, including terminating it its members masse if desired.

Absent illegal collusion between companies, in theory the companies who work with unions should end up being more productive since they will be able to attract better employees based on the better employment conditions secured by the union activity.

What many people are against is the particular regulatory structure that is present today. They have seen what happened to American manufacturing over the past decades, and unions as they are currently implemented in America seem to have played a large role.
I wonder if this is relevant to tech workers. Does a second monitor - if not used as a productivity boost, but rather a neutral convenience - hinder your capability to focus on tasks? Should we turn it off to properly focus?

I have suspected this might be the case for a while, but I'm not aware that it is obvious.
My knowledge is a bit outdated, but we used to say:

* in America, peering between ISPs is great, but the last-mile connection is terrible

* In Europe, the last-mile connection is great, but peering between the ISPs is terrible (ISPs are at war with each other). Often you could massively improve performance by renting a VPS in the correct city and routing your traffic manually.

“Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer … [someone calls in and] listens to Bruce play his Piano Puzzler™. They then try to do two things: name the hidden tune, and name the composer whose style Bruce is mimicking.”

Of course, you can play along at home as you listen.

1) I absolutely loved the execution by Lang Lang of it.

2) You're really looking at this in terms of modern music industry, which is nonsense, Chopin created music for his friends too and would send them the scripts.

Completely common problem. Anyone that speaks multiple languages sees this everyday, there are many words in Portuguese/Spanish/English I need the spellchecker for (or even translation) to write because I don't use it as frequently in that specific language.

That is happening a lot with cooking, as I started to take it much more seriously when I moved to the US and now my cooking vocabulary in English is much better/wider than it is in my native Portuguese, so I'll frequently use words in english for stuff I should know in portuguese but don't remember.

The issue with hukou is two-way.

Urban cities of course don't want to hand out urban hukou easily because they don't want an influx of migrants straining social services.

But conversely, a lot of rural hukou holders do not want to give up rural hukou because it gives retirement benefits at 55 and is a requirement in order to keep their rural landholding.

This is why you have migrants with a rural hukou working in urban China but not gaining an urban hukou.

The problem with hukou is fundamentally a social safety net problem - there is little to no social safety net in China, so the "migrant to urban area with rural hukou" is the least bad option out of multiple bad options (keep rural hukou and live in rural China barely eking a living or give up rural hukou and lose the only appreciating asset you had along with benefits at 55).

In essence, the lion's share of Chinese development is overly concentrated in a handful of urban agglomerations, and isn't spreading to rural China where 45-50% of Chinese still live to this day.
Technically speaking it does, but only if you’re starting from a point of very low dietary cholesterol intake or you’re genetically predisposed to have high sterol absorption.

So if you’re, say, a vegan with very little cholesterol intake then adding some would result in significantly higher serum cholesterol. However, for most people in western populations, they’re already above the point where the effect tails off, which is why dietary guidelines generally don’t focus on dietary cholesterol anymore.

If your friends took that bet, and if "wrong" doesn't mean "more than 5 points off", then they are suckers, since the historical average polling error is 2-4 points, so betting that "the polls are wrong" without picking a direction and magnitude is a gimme.
> Tomorrow I can just simply take that and make it a static site that I would self-host or whatever.

I have always found myself reluctant building a blog out of static-site generators. If writing and posting were all I want, static sites could have done everything the web technologies had been offering. But I kinda feel that the fact that we -- the small group people having "internet dream" since the beginning of web 2.0 -- has the desire to share and collaborate. The more the web is inter-connected, the more value the community can create. We are in the same boat, and this feeling is something static hosting services seldom provides.
