I get that, but I also have found that sentiments like that are rarely as universal as they are proclaimed to be which I is why I cited specifically British sources which are easy to find and readily available, and I could have just kept going if I wanted to.

I've certainly corrected fellow Americans on the whole "President of California" thing myself because Federation is a poorly understood concept even within the United States; but unlike Queen/King of England, that one actually doesn't have a historical precedent whereas if I refer to King Charles as the King of England, King of Britain, King of Great Britain or King of the UK, or give the whole spiel and say King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, all will be understood, even though only a couple of those are correct with respect to the legal title described within the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927.

But if you want to be a true stickler, most instances where people say British with respect to the UK are also incorrect and we should instead be saying British and Northern Irish save for those times we are referring solely to Great Britain itself. I don't think that's a thing that happens much though, and I'm not looking to start now either.

Sure, I don't disagree that in a vague sense the EU and US are kinda similar in terms of countries and states.

> US states used to be offered much more independence.

But even in your own example with the EU, the EU still mandates many health policies for its member countries: food safety; air and water quality; tobacco, sugar and alcohol regulations; and so on. That's not at all dissimilar to what the federal government does in the US, except our states don't implement those policies/directives themselves because the feds enforce it all.

I still, will never understand the need for native "Apps". To this day, I have never seen an "App" that couldn't simply have been a website/webapp. Most of them would likely be improved by being a webapp.

The only benefits I can see of "Apps", are the developer get's access to private information they really don't need.

Yeah, they get to be on the "App Store". But the "App Store" is a totally unnecessary concept introduced by Apple/Google so they could scrape a huge percentage in sales.

Web browsers have good (not perfect) sandboxing, costs no fees to "submit" and are accessible to everyone on every phone.

This argument works fine for high-speed rail, not so well for insurance and healthcare.
This fearmongering about Microsoft has existed since the very day the first TPM shipped, and it has never come closer to being real.

Most of the security improvements shipping in Windows are leftovers from Xbox, but they very clearly state that Windows Security does not treat the user themselves as a threat.

The term "generate power from Earth's rotation" is basically saying "convert kinetic energy from Earth's angular momentum". If you extract energy, by conservation of energy that energy has to come from somewhere. So yes, we would normally expect Earth's rotation to slow.

But I think if you do the math, it would be absolutely miniscule.
There are two possible first axioms for how someone interprets reality. The first is: "Two statements that contradict eachother means one of them are wrong". The second is that "My authority figure tells me what is true."

You are a person who believes that truth is a consequence of reason. You are talking about people who think "truth" is a consequence of power.

The core axiom of your reality is incompatible with the core axiom of their reality. That's why they don't care about contradictions or hypocrisy, that stuff doesn't matter. What matters is how you act when you assess those things. If you point out the contradiction but don't do anything about it, then you might be right, but you are also weak. Your assessment has little effect on physical reality when actions don't follow. They understand that their actions on physical reality are molding it and point out that reason matters little when compared with power. To them power is truth, words are said to achieve outcomes, not mutual understanding.

When they do something obviously hypocritical, but you do nothing, they aren't using their words to "speak truth," they are using the reality of the situation to express the truth they want to be heard: You have no power.
So what was the point of Rachel's vagueposting? Was there any kind of NDA or a good reason to be so vague?
uv is licensed under either MIT or Apache-2.0[0]

They can always stop developing or fork to a different license and all future work belongs under that license, but you can't back date licenses, so what exists is guaranteed Open Source. If you're super worried, you can create a fork and just keep it in sync.

But this is essentially true about any other OSS project so I wouldn't be concerned. As far as I'm aware, conda was never open sourced and had always distributed binaries.

How much more of this opinion should I read when it’s established in the third paragraph that the author doesn’t realize that AppImage does not bundle a libc?

> Do you think bodily autonomy is absolute?

No. When decisions I take could affect others, that can, in a limited way, justify overriding bodily autonomy. E.g. preventing someone with an infectious disease from spreading it by quarantining them. Or when they can't make their own decisions, e.g. if they're children, suffering dementia, or are unconscious and time is critical.

> Believe it or not, a doctor won't amputate a limb

I struggle to understand how this is a reasonable, much less charitable, interpretation of my words. Bodily autonomy does not include commanding others. But people can refuse care, even when it is medically sound. Except in very limited circumstances, doctors may not force procedures or medicine on unwilling patients.

> Or do you mean that your opinion should trump that of any doctor or expert in any field when the issue pertains to your person? If that's the case, I wonder why you choose to participate in society at all, given that you're uncomfortable with the idea that other people might know more than you.

One does not at all follow from the other. Experts in the field will tell me excessive sweets are bad for me (and I believe them) - should they get to put a block my credit card so it cannot be used to buy unhealthy snacks, only healthy food?

I have humored your post, now please explain to me: How does believing people have a right to refuse medical treatment imply I am uncomfortable with others being more knowledgeable?

The most basic app, a notepad, I often prefer native. When I go between google keep or notion to apple notes I can tell the difference. If the text is long enough, the web apps just can not load the content.

Just to confirm:

I dumped all of my notes from my insanely large apple notes (about 16000 lines of text) and pasted them into Google Keep, Notion, Google Docs. With the exception of Google Docs the rest of them flat out froze and I had to kill my browser. Stop trying to tell us that the browser is the answer to everything when most web apps cant do the job of Notepad.exe or vi
I was reading a while ago about populations that moved to England, and within 2 generations their teeth are messed up (the first gen of kids born is usually raised on the food of their original culture).

You saw it too in Canada when the Inuit went on food stamps and went from eating mostly meat to mostly plants: their teeth went all over the place and full of holes within a single generation.

We also saw that with the advent of agriculture in general, along with a massive decline in average height.

The blog author didn't think so, but there's good anecdotal + empirical evidence that working with LLMs boosts *overall productivity*. (A recent study: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5188231)

If you lose 8 hrs to weirdness, but save 10 hrs somewhere else, then yeah it does pay for itself.

My argument is that it doesn't need to improve overall productivity much to have positive ROI. Whether you agree that these tools improve productivity or not is another question.
My solution to this is to use the apps that come with my phone and avoid relying on anything else. Problem solved. I use signal, uber, MyChart (for my doctor), and some apps for banking but that is about it.

> It's important not to underestimate the distrust of government services and regulation of any sort of the Republican base. The conservative media - talk-radio, then cable, then social/podcasts - has been intentionally undermining the credibility of government services at every opportunity for 40 years. And the politicians hamstring and sabotage whenever they get a chance to try to make sure that services offered in the US are sub-par compared to elsewhere.

This is partly what I was getting at when I said the culture of the US is different and the scale is much larger than European countries. It's not just geographically larger, but it's politically and ideologically broader too. If you have a wonderful idea like UHC, you need to make it work with liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between. Like it or not, a universal healthcare or Medicare for all plan is either going to be DoA in Congress, or a considerably watered-down and Americanized version if it has any hope at all of getting enough senators to pass it without first seeing massive electoral college reform in this country first.

That is the scale of the US. You can't assume that an idea that's well-liked and popular in another country is going to be popular and well-liked here.

If that were true, nearly the entire state of California would have developmental issues.

Anyway, lots of things in this world that are bad for people in high doses are beneficial in smaller doses. Water is a great example, as are salt and sugar.
While I acknowledge it is not a "solved" issue, I find it bizarre nonetheless, simply because it is so disproportionately low-stakes compared to the amount of controversy around it. Increased risk of cavities versus tentative evidence of losing 1-2 IQ points at 1.5 mg/L? Sounds like a Monty Python sketch to me that people would get so worked up over this.
Well, we don’t have that many things that can be added to water and have health benefits with basically no downside. Fluoride is one of the few things where it makes sense to do this. (If you are willing to broaden your horizons, you can buy things like iodized salt or golden rice to get the benefits of those. But food, alas, is not a government service.)
Okay, well, let me know how you came up with the list?

Also, nothing in that list of papers supports your initial claim? I know you'll say you didn't claim anything, so I will say also, that nothing in those links provides for what the prior commenter asked for evidence for.

Other than, fluoride consumption at high concentrations is bad (which is something that was already agreed upon, and is not being questioned in this thread)?
This was not much different everywhere else. Public dental care campaigns helped a lot, the same with affordable dental care products. Looking at my parents generation there are lots of false teeth going around. (Not uk)

No they are not. The are experts are filling cavities and treatment. They have no additional knowledge of fluoride in water vs any other interested person.

For that you need to talk to someone in research, which is not someone seeing patients.

Definitely not.

IMO the most distinct parts of the Swiss health insurance system is that (1) copay is obligatory but limited (i.e. healthcare isn’t free but it’s not expensive either), and (2) it’s individual, companies cannot pay for it, so there’s no US-like extreme benefit of having a good job.

Not a hot take at all, this is pretty realistic. But notice at no point is pure privacy a serious option, instead we count on hopium. Sure they DO have a lot of our data and they COULD be up to no good, but they wont, because.. reasons. I also never said anything about a conspiracy, just simple facts like how VPNs and social media sites are legally required to keep usage logs in case of illegal activity.
> I don't think it's sensationalist to report that something might happen

I guess I'd put it this way. I think we can agree that it is sensationalistic to report something that won't happen.

I'm not a Trump booster - but I do think these two HN comments are giving him too much power.

Presidents have no power to remove judges. (And everybody knows it - especially judges.) Wishing that his friends in Congress would help him out by launching impeachment hearings won't make it happen -- mainly because it would need something like 7 Democratic votes in the Senate to actually succeed. (So "threatening" a judge... does nothing. You might as well stand in a field and say "Ooh, I wish you weren't a judge any more!")

It's also convoluted to say there's some credible threat in the fact that Trump nominates judges. (What are you saying -- that during the vetting process for future judges he'll ask each candidate, "What's your stance on sending future parking lot protesters to foreign prisons for 20-year sentences?")

It's mildly newsworthy that he's talking out loud about such an outrageous hypothetical. But it's clearly just posing as powerful and in control for his base. A president does not have this power - and I honestly don't think he even cares. He just wants to act like he does for a few moments on Truth Social.

The only really newsworthy thing here is the protests upset him enough that he had to specifically address it with some made-up hypothetical to make himself and his base feel like he's not losing popular support.

No? What is a coping response? I asked the commenter to provide context to their links that supposedly show evidence for what the initial question was (does fluoride at the concentrations in drinking water cause harm), which they definitely do not show evidence for.
Some software packages that allow you to manage iOS devices on Windows/Mac without iTunes, make backups and the like, have this function to let them use your Apple ID credentials to download single IPAs without using the App Store.

I put a test ID never used outside, and months later, I see a login attempt from Jamaica (from Apple's privacy takeout export, the media services log). Since I tested several of those apps on the machine, I won't give names because I have no way to prove which one was.

The makers of these tools, are usually eastern european or chinese, but they are incorporated somewhere else.

> There is a very curious but prevalent phenomena where highly intelligent people let a governing ideology do the thinking for them and refuse to countenance ideologically discordant possibilities.

Highly intelligent people experience having correct intuition -- a product of reasoning occurring at below a conscious level -- a lot, to the point where they may learn to intrinsically trust their intuition to be correct and be highly confident it will prove correct. However, while intuition can often be a manifestation of that kind of unconscious reasoning, it can also be a product of aesthetic/ideological (really, the same thing) preference, among other biases.

> Exactly - and that's what I use prototyping to figure out.

Perhaps "prototyping" is an inappropriate descriptor here. A better one might be "one-off disposable code" considering the example described.

Peer developers could easily interpret prototyping an AppleScript ETL as only requiring minimal research into identifying its applicability and subsequent reusable definition.

However, a "one-off disposable AppleScript approach" expresses minimal investment (time) and also conveys a higher risk tolerance to potential incorrect code an LLM might generate.
