an older example of the same thing: to be gay in the 1970s, in many countries you had to think you knew better than the health authorities, who believed this was an illness you should try to cure.
and then, a couple of years later, the same health authorities ask you to believe that there's a dangerous illness going around that somehow mysteriously requires gay people to limit their sex lives.
knowing which scientific claims to trust is _very hard_.
Cory Doctorow reshared this.
I don't think this science denial. A big part of science is rigorous debate of the evidence. If you have evidence to the contrary, whether it's "anecdotal" lived experience or published data, then not blindly trusting established narrative *is* science. Dissenting views and contradictions are more valuable to the scientific process than confirmations* because it's evidence of some misunderstanding that can be used to push science as a whole forward.
*Of course you need some confirmations, and the replication crisis is a whole separate issue that leads to mistrust in science
@lucas There's a project called AssemblyScript which is designed around writing a near variant of TypeScript that gets compiled to wasm. This provides tantalizing hints of things that were possible.
I think (I've heard various things today, some contradictory) that AssemblyScript might partially depend on calling into the self-hosted TS however so I'm not sure what happens to it in Go/TS world :/

In case you weren’t paying attention, most of the people that understand economics told you that Trump was going to be a disaster. Only those that were part of the cult told you otherwise. So now you are going to act surprised because you voted for a felon, a bigot, a con man, and a dolt.

Shorting stock is a risky and ill-advised move, only for experts, almost certainly a bad idea except for experts, yes, yes, I know.

With Tesla up a bit today, I wish I had a brokerage account already so I could short it for, say, one week out from now, just with a few symbolic bucks.
OK, screw it, I want to do this. I want to put a little money in TSLQ and TSLZ (which is a way of betting that Tesla stock will drop). Clearly nonsense as a financial plan; I’ll only put in an amount I’m willing to lose. This is just for symbolic reasons. I’m willing pay a few bucks to raise this middle finger.
Recommendations: What's a less-terrible place to open an account where I can trade individual stocks? It needs to be low overhead and low nonsense; there will only ever be at •most• a few hundred dollars involved.
if you have a bank account somewhere that also owns a brokerage most have low cost/self managed trading options (for example if you bank with Bank of America you can open an account at Merrill Lynch pretty easily. May not be the most ideologically pure but may be easy if you already have the accounts.
(fewer credit unions or b corp banks have brokerages)
I'm reasonably happy with Charles Schwab but not sure their minimums but generally decent (relatively for their industry)

Remember to short or buy puts. And buy a long enough term so you don't get caught in the Rancid Kumquat talking up the price.
I'm not sure why you'd want to just plain buy the stock. That thing is so overvalued it's floating purely on belief in Musk's genius. (Check out the P/E, over 100! _After_ it's down about 50%.) And that belief has nowhere to go but down at this point.

@sybren @blender regarding the weekly module meetings: is there a Google Calendar or something similar I can subscribe to? That way I can see it time-zone-adjusted on my calendar and see which ones I could potentially make.
The meeting notices on devtalk.blender.org have a Meet link but that doesn't share event details automatically in a calendar.
