I'm particularly interested in how NIH's policy differed from HHS's Scientific Integrity Policy (https://www.hhs.gov/programs/research/scientificintegrity/in...).

I also note that revision to HHS's document have been made as recently as March 21, 2025. I'm curious as to what changed versus the Sept 2024 issue date. If anyone has access to the PDF version of the policy as originally issued, I'd like to understand if there have been substantive changes.
It's a federal country of many states though. The original design of the US is fairly similar to the design of the EU today, US states used to be offered much more independence.
ReactOS is too buggy to be used as a daily driver for your operating system, but it's awesome as Windows Kernel reference code. You want to know what a Kernel-mode function does? Ether read the documentation, or look at what ReactOS does. (Yes, leaked Windows code exists too, and it's even on freakin Microsoft-owned-Github of all places, but you can't legally look at that stuff!)
most countries anthems celebrate how they are the best, if that's what you're referring to.
How many countries actually drink their tap water as their main source of water?
Before someone tries to pin this as a decisively left-right political issue, Portland, Oregon has been virulently anti-fluoride for over 70 years (which is probably the last time Portland and Utah agreed on anything):

https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2013/05/portland_fluorid...

Portland is a bit odd when it comes to water; they drained an entire (uncovered, open to the elements) city reservoir because a guy peed in it. True story. I assume they have signs for the birds flying aloft to not defecate over the reservoir.

Edit: It appears many posts all over this thread are being brigaded with downvotes. Why? Is Big Fluoride in trouble? Grow up. You people are brain damaged (possibly from fluoride).
> Either something is possible or it is not. If you don't know, that just means you're lacking knowledge

It's not always you as in yourself but you as in your company or your team. You yourself might know it is possible but management might not believe in it. They ask for a prototype to get you the resourcing for the project to proceed.
You could always use something like PyInstaller...

It’s just sublime to me the cadence and intonation Sterling Hayden uses pronouncing Mandrake.
I’m smart enough to understand that norms only work when they’re a two-way street. If the constitution is alive and “emanations from penumbras” is constitutional law, then it’s alive for both sides, and the Trump administration should go looking for what emanations they can find in the penumbras of Article II.
Try disk partitioning software: AOMEI, Macrorit, Easeus, NIUBI, IM-Magic/RESIZE-C (cant find where its from = China). Pretty much every single one calls home. Most look like fronts for money laundering or clandestine agencies :)

Edit Afaik only MiniTool and LSoft are not Chinese from the mayor partitioning/recovery vendors, instead both are Canadian.
Long-time Win32 programmer here - yes. This is by design. To use an analogy, Windows is like a "high-trust society".

There are functions EnumWindows() and EnumChildWindows() specifically for this purpose.

See utilities "Windows Modifier v2.00" (when I first downloaded it there were many pages about it, but it's a sign of how forgetful the Internet has become that I barely get any results about it now even searching for that exact name) and Microsoft's own Spy++ (SPYXX.EXE) for an example of this functionality.

The solution to an app you don't trust is to not use it at all, or use it in a VM.
Some GPUs don't have scanout, such as Laptop GPUs that pipe pixels through the iGPU. Those fully power off when they're not in use.
I truly don't care one way or the other on the dental advantage that fluoride offers in drinking water, or the alleged risks it poses to the IQ of unborn children. I simply hate the fact that public policy is now being driven by what are essentially New World Order conspiracy theorists
None of that (save for running as root, which is very crude, much less granular, and requires promoting privileges of the process in question to root) is "about the same amount of work" as using a unix socket directly.
Speak for yourself. I have been using Linux for a decade and would want nothing more if standalone application setups like those in Windows became the norm of software distribution.

Centralized package management is a curse. Apps should be responsible for their own updates, not the OS.
see that proves it - the U.S can't adopt the metric system, it's too big, you don't want to have to break out the megameters! /s
There’s three main points here:

1. Don’t build systems that can be abused to start with, because they will be abused, but if we must build one then see point 2:

2. Put access to this sensitive information behind a judge’s signature. Because see point 3:

3. When it comes to this kind of data: There are no “good guys” and “bad guys” - we should assume that everyone is a potential bad guy.

Whenever you hear the “good guys” justification, immediately remind yourself of the ways the “good guys” have been found to be “bad guys” in sheep’s clothing.

Whenever you hear someone use the “nothing to hide” argument, remind yourself that none of the victims in these stories had anything to hide, nor had they done anything wrong. (Much like the thousands of women who die from partner abuse every year.)
In general it's some weird relic of medieval view on dentists not being medical professionals but someone akin to barbers. It shouldn't exits but it persists.
I also wonder why "header only" is advertized.

As for the compilation cost, modern C++ tries to adress that with modules.
The point is that flouride has the same effect on your teeth no matter how many hectares of lifeless desert happen to be controlled by your government.
> This purist vision you have of Linux doesn't exist.

It does on my computer, and I suspect on a lot of Linux users' computers.
Tangental story about free Internet.

I once got a few years of free broadband Internet because I signed up for broadband plus basic cable, but they never put broadband on my bill. They came and did the installation and everything. Then when it eventually shut off, I called them back to complain and they said they had no record of me being a broadband customer, so I was able to sign up for the lower new customer rate.

At the same time, my TV had a built in digital tuner that could tune into the on-demand streams of other people in my neighborhood. I could watch as the paused/rewind/etc. The watching trends were interesting. Late nights you'd see soft-core adult movies, Saturday mornings you'd see lots of kid's shows.
I am worried for this country. Going to prison to El Salvador for 20 years for burning a car because one of the rulers of this country own this company is incredibly stupid

$30/day would not be a worthwhile return on investment for such a tool
> At least in a typical linux distro the binary is built by the distributing org, with some review of where the source comes from.

This "feature" falls apart for nonfree software, which most commercial apps are. You can use Spotify and Steam's PPA but will similarly have no idea what source was included in them.
Because ReactOS doesn't work?
No, it wouldn’t have to be. Perhaps it would be, perhaps it wouldn’t be, as I said.
> The idea is to remove fluoride from water and advise pregnant women to use fluoride-free toothpaste.

What most people don't understand here are the levels of fluoride being ingested. You can very easily remove all fluoride from your water with a relatively cheap RO system. But the recommendation to use "fluoride-free toothpaste" is just plain misinformation.

The reason is that you don't eat toothpaste. And even when adults ingest small amounts of toothpaste, again, the amount of fluoride is basically beyond negligible. Fluoride can both be applied to teeth as a varnish and/or consumed in drinking water. Using a flouride-free toothpaste can oftentimes do more damage than good because of SLS in those alternatives and because those alternatives often have abrasives that do far more harm than good. It's amazing people will recommend a product that may likely be worse because they have no domain expertise. So, yes, people should talk to their Dentist about these things and ask questions of them vs the Internet.

Really the downside to removing fluoride from city water is that low income families will be worse off with respect to dental related issues compared to more well off families that spend time instilling dental hygiene and preventative care for their kids. As you mentioned most people who have decent oral hygiene get enough flouride.

Where we live we have well water. Fluoride in the water isn't a concern, and if it was in our drinking water it generally wouldn't be consumed because of the water filtration anyway.

I did tech support for a startup a long time ago. I mostly won't do any phone support for friends and family because they have the nasty habit of doing something like this:

Me: What do you see?

Them: <click> <click> <click> Nothing.

Me: What are you doing?

Them: <click><click><click> Nothing.

So I've been doing it in person or don't do it at all. Too many hours trying to visualize what in the world might be on the other person's screen.

The reason I'm moved to comment is two things: one is that my daughter in college had me help her file her taxes by starting with FaceTime on her MacBook, then sharing the screen so that I could see exactly what she was doing. She's not technically inclined and it wasn't something that I suggested, she figured out how to do it herself.

The other thing is that my mother-in-law is 90 and also not a techie. But I've been able to help her with 1 or 2 issues remotely because she's able to take a photo of the situation with her cell phone and text it to me.

Things have progressed to the point where hopefully your customer could have been convinced to send you a picture and saved you a trip.
The article made that criticism.
Am I the only one here that read the part where you can absolutely disable this? I don't understand the performative outrage. The TV has an ad-supported screen saver, which they claim is used to support free streaming content. You can disable the screen saver entirely. No, you cannot just disable the ads but keep the screen saver. What is the problem?

Meanwhile half the posters here work for Google or other ad-surveillance purveyors. I watched a short YouTube video today with half a dozen unskippable ads. If you had a hand in normalizing this then you can't claim to be upset by it.
If not "study," I'd strongly suggest doing regular "homework" for your work.

For instance, unlike in the early days and well into the 2010s, most mobile UI and UX are solved. You know how users use apps and how they want something to respond to. However, I still find many people in tech, even after "years of experience," always think about their company, their app, and how specific actions of the users impact them. I usually ask them, "What about the customers and the users?". Remember that for most users, your app/website is just one of the many they use.

This simple example is easily resolved by doing regular homework—studying how others do things and how users use their apps.
There isn't as big of a boost as you'd think, since for a templated function you have to #include the entire definition of said function in whatever source file is using it.
The other weird thing in US discourse about other countries is that when it does enter the conversation, the "rest of the world", or at least other developed countries, are often treated as some kind of monolithic entity culturally and politically. For example, a lot of people on both left and right in US believe that the rest of the world is single payer, and generally that "single payer" is synonymous to "public healthcare". Similarly with gun control, there's no recognition of the fact that there are countries in Europe where you can own an AR-15 just fine, and countries (different ones!) where silencers are over the counter items not requiring any special registration.
Just as bizarre of a thing to say that he built X, I suppose.
> I think the US would prefer a UHC if we were starting from a blank slate. The difficulty is mapping a path from what we have now to that.

Do you remember when Republicans went on and on about how "Democrats rammed through the ACA without a single Republican vote"? As if that represented a problem on the Democratic Party side, and not the Republican one? Despite the similarities to models proposed by Republicans in the past, and the relative conservative step it represented from "Byzantine kludge of often poor-to-no-coverage" to "something with a higher floor"? That's how hard it would be to find a Republican to "prefer a UHC if we were starting from a blank slate."

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.

It's a well-oiled machine running a cycle that keeps people focused on anything else but the services they actually use all the time so that cognitive dissonance can't creep in. (Granted, sometimes, when necessary to acknowledge those things, they'll fall back to making it clear that YOU earned/paid for the things you use, but those other gross poor people are just freeloaders.)

It's like with abortion - for decades "overturning Roe V Wade" was what Republicans said they wanted to do. And people kept trying to convince themselves "oh they don't really mean that, they wouldn't do that actually anymore." Take their word on it about wanting to tear down government services.

Yes, in the Netherlands we have a culture of moaning about everthing. Youd beter not dare suggest sonething is good enough! This complaining is the only thing we are proud of. lol

(If we had patriotic songs worth remembering im sure i would have)

The problem is this, hoe do you fix something you are proud of? It seems a contradiction?
The world map is hilarious. Germany sure does not look like this anymore (and this is not the GDR split but goes further back). Maybe they should update this. Draws into the question, the whole data.
Projects are being killed across the government for exactly this reason. If anything it's even dumber than it sounds. If any word in a project or department title string matches a list of common terms it can get killed with zero investigation or recourse. Billions of dollars worth of research and work have already been destroyed in this way and it's only getting worse.
> Some lucky few of us have a positive balance, because we embrace compassion with the art of our lives.

I assume you mean hypothetical "we" here because given your comment you are unlikely to be in that group :)

Welcome to the rest of us! It's more fun here, anyway.
How is that congruent with the article's claim that 31 out of 47 apps they tested had this filter?
Would not want to travel to the US right now if I weren't already from here
Try reading physics books that introduce the maths as an instrument (e.g. Wald’s General relativity to learn tensor calculus, you only need the first few chapters), they usually explain concepts and notation in simpler terms. However, they may hide stuff under the rug of “it’s a tradition”, “we do this, don’t ask questions”, “ margin is too narrow to contain the proof”, etc.

P.S.: Greek alphabet is not that bad (it’s only 24 letters, and a third of them isn’t used on behalf of being the same as some Latin ones), just look it up. It’s much worse when some mathematician in the 19th century invents his own squiggly to refer to a pretty useful function.
Not sure but I decided on CBOR for my own project because I found a nice open source C library called TinyCBOR which can serialize and deserialize without any memory allocations. It works using an iterator that you manually move up and down into sub containers.

AFAICT most US toothpaste has flouride in it already.

(For now, at least? How long until that gets cracked down on as dangerous?)
Pretty much the entire Europe, for starters.
> Apps should be responsible for their own updates, not the OS.

Distros are not quite "the OS". You don't need a distro to run Linux.

The role distros play as far as Linux applications are concerned is more like an app store in the Windows (or Mac) world. Of course Apple has locked down their smartphones that way basically since their inception, and their desktop OS has been becoming more and more like that. So has Windows.

Yes, that's my point. We are literally different people with different cultures, values and problems. Case in point: the firearm control you mentioned. I won't get in a gun control debate here, I have my own complicated views on the matter, but it's an undisputed fact that Americans have a right to own guns (maybe with limitations, maybe not) and many Americans deeply cherish that right. There is no gun control solution we can take from Europe that you could apply to the US, it's simply not compatible with our culture, not to mention our own Bill of Rights. It's not a bad thing to recognize that.
Sure, but kids don't sing them in schools and there's definitely nothing even remotely comparable to the Pledge of Allegiance.

Hell, in some countries even the national anthem has no lyrics but is purely an instrumental track (Spain being a notable example).

Getting increasingly snarky when you're apparently unaware that Public Health is a thing is not a good look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health

Generally it's multi-discipline, but a good start here would be an epidemiologist with a focus on dental issues.
The actual headline (from the local ABC station) was "Trump suggests Tesla vandals should face 20 years in jail, be sent to El Salvador."

And even that's a little sensationalistic. (Trump says a lot of things. And this is an off-hand comment he made on Truth Social...) But even there he only went as far as to say the vandals had "a very good chance" of going to jail for "up to" 20 years, and that "perhaps" they'd go to El Salvador.

Also, we all know judges issues sentences, right? I mean, a president can say what he hopes will happen... But ABC7.com shouldn't be this credulous.
The author is probably Indian based upon the blogs subtitle of “ tales from indian web rabbit holes. “
Because the substack's author focuses on Indian web. From their description: "tales from indian web rabbit holes."

I don't remember defining oligarchy in my comment.
Yes, I stated it as an outcome. I was not defining oligarchy. I was responding to a comment which was stating that Elon Musk becoming involved in the USG apparently makes it an oligarchy, and that this has something to do with this personal pre-existing wealth.
Not just regular toxic chemicals, either, through the is plenty of that. Quite a bit of radiation too.

And companies that adulterate, misrepresent and obfuscate what they put in food as well. No-one is putting corn syrup or brominated vegetable oil in food with any intention other than money money money.

In fact, if I were an evil subgenius and really actively wanted to damage the IQs of the nation for some nefarious purpose, and it has to be substance-based, I'd avoid things with annoying oversight like public drinking water and vaccines and focus on food and pollution as a vector. If challenged, I just say "why do you hate my freedom to make a profit and provide jobs". Sure, the FDA and EPA exist, but even then you can get away with far, far more in those areas. Food wise, HFCS, BVO, etc, pollution wise, almost everything to with plastics or polymers, oil, coal, gas the list goes on and on.
In double-blind experiments across multiple companies, chimpanzee managers were found to be largely statistically indistinguishable from incumbent (presumably human) company managers, except in areas where the chimps exhibited superior skills and performance.

I can recommend several. If pg's essays have some amount of appeal to you, you are probably potentially interested in philosophy, here are just a few people who have authored works of far greater eloquence, depth, and significance than anything paul graham has ever written:

Wittgenstein, Rousseau, Marcuse, Horkheimer, Adorno, Foucault, Ryle, Montaigne, Maggie Nelson, Didion, Bertrand Russel, Jean Paul Sartre, Roland Barthes, Niklas Luhmann, Norbert Wiener, Hienz von Forester, Hans Georg Gadamer, Juergen Habermas, Rebeca Solnit...

And these are just the few people that came to mind off the cuff. If I bothered to look I could probably give you more.

These tech luminaries act as though no philosophy or significant social analysis or cultural criticism has happened in the west since Plato and Cicero, but it's simply...entirely untrue. There's a wealth of deep, enriching philosophical heritage to explore, and I think these bozos don't engage with it because they are either too lazy (much easier to read translations of the classics) too disingenuous (much easier to base your sophistry on material that is so old as to not be contested) , or too self righteous (they already possess the one truth birthed directly by the divine cells of their brains because they like the lisp programming language and worked at yahoo, so why bother to interact with the thought of others in a serious way?) to bother. Not to mention, they don't dare engage with the highly complex dedicated academic studies of the classics anyway. I doubt pg has done little more than read a modern translation of Cicero. Probably not even Leob, probably Penguin Random House. But hey, those ignorant of the gold vein will happily lop up pewter.
What’s your viewpoint on Americans being sent to el Salvadoran prisons because they keyed a Ford?
They could start by at least closing the MAIN intent filter loophole.
It’s an unnecessarily confusing headline.

“Decline of cash credited” makes me think of “cash credited” in accounting.

The actual headline is “Decline of cash credited for drop in NHS surgery for children swallowing objects” … which doesn’t provide the context necessary to correct this misunderstanding until after you figure you what “NHS surgery” is.

It’s a really bad sentence.
