> If pants had been invented in 2018 in order to cure horniness
What if they'd been invented hundreds of years ago to stop the spread of disease, and prevented millions of deaths since then? Curious that you use a weak and hyperbolic analogy when the reality is so readily available.
Well, you can call me foolish, but I don't think COVID is severe enough to be worth long-term realignment of cultural norms around wardrobe. Most people agree with me, which is why so much of the debate has been based on panic.
you will see that I avoided referencing specific cultres and made claims about the past. too much racism / elitism on HN in some threads, although those issues need to be discussed too.
For the sake of discussion of sensitive topics, I recommend you ditch the hyperbole and stick to facts if you want to maintain credibility with reasonable people.
I don't believe anyone has tried to literally force any restrictions down your throat, nor do I believe that the feds are killing people who don't conform to restrictions. I wouldn't associate your writing with disbelief or skepticism if it didn't contain this type of hyperbole.
> Virtually all of the clinical trials and robust research studies psilocybin in conjunction with 10 or more non-psychedelic therapy sessions.
Tangential, but I've noticed that all the psilocybin trials I've read about are combined with therapy as well; my knee jerk assumption is that there are legal/moral/funding powers at play causing that. Not sure a study would get funded if it consisted of "we're going to get a bunch of depressed people to take shrooms and see what happens!".
The more scientific approach would be to separate the therapy group from the shroom group.
It’s worth reiterating that police are effectively above the law, criminally and civilly. Aside from the obvious conflicts of interest between police and prosecutors, there is a court invented[0] principle that says that cops are immune to even civil suits if they violate your rights. This can only be breached if the courts had previous ruled that their specific actions[1] violated your rights. Since cops can’t go to trial for new abuses, new precedent isn’t being made and cops are for all intents and purposes immune.
0 - Funny how the anti-“activist judges” crowd is silent about the Supreme Court making this doctrine up out of whole cloth.
1 - Down to the terrain in which the abuse happened.
In this case SEGA, due to their incompetence lost a bunch of car keys owned by other people despite claiming that they’ll keep them safe (and having a legal obligation to do so under GDPR). So I don’t see any problem with publicly exposing them.
I've used it before in a military capacity (actually during test deployments of the system). Interface-wise it's basically google earth, complete with ability to turn on layers and filter temporal ranges. The real magic was how data was induced into the system, and how it could be parsed. Basically geographically aware SQL, with a bunch of tools for correlation and inference of different data types. At the time, our head of intelligence was smitten with it, thought it would end our current conflict.
> This seems very naive. Media companies are not working for the public, which pays pennies to the dollar compared to advertising.
I agree that the advertising is where the money comes from for most media... But that supports the parent comment, in that it incentivises the media companies to tell their audiences exactly what they want to hear (or, more correctly, exactly what will keep them coming back and watching more advertisements).
> and for what benefit? Some smoother graphics? I am on Linux, that is the least important thing.
This really sums up this side of the argument for me (though it doesn't address the security features of Wayland). If I want to watch an ultra high definition movie, or play a game, rebooting to windows is a miniscule price. Almost all of my work is done on Linux, and I value it because everything can be made to work, usually with little effort. Wayland adds some severe overhead to that work.
https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/n3mjj3/native_vs_vm_b... you can also do this. If you want to use wayland without issues GNOME works well if you wanna login to another session, VFIO will give you full windows game support (Win VM will use the GPU in windows driver mode).
For anyone who wants a functional desktop on any DE, x.org is the best, and cannot be replaced currently by wayland in features or software compatibility.
