I'm pretty sure it's a HIPAA violation for a pharmacist to disclose the medicines prescribed to a patient/customer and they were thisclose to doing so. It's a good law, and a good pharmacist wouldn't even come that close. Otherwise, were do they draw the line? What if it's not a politician, but a teacher or a community leader or a minister, or just someone in the community that the pharmacist wants to gossip about with neighbors and friends? What if it's not Alzheimer's meds but meds for an STI, or part of alcoholism/drug addiction recovery, or the early stages of Parkinsons or ALS, or hormones for a trans person, or meds to address incontinence or a miscarriage?

And if pharmacists choose to share what they know, wouldn't that drive people to get their prescriptions filled another way (fake IDs, assumed identities, black market, cross-border/mail-order) or just not get medicine for fear of a medical secret being announced?

A better alternative: We should stop electing people who are clearly having a hard time thinking.

Also, a rather important update tacked to the bottom:

> After this story went viral, the pharmacist interviewed provided an additional statement clarifying his remarks. “I am not aware of any member that actually has Alzheimer’s and would certainly not disclose any such information if I did know.” He added, “patient privacy is a very serious matter that I am committed to upholding.”

> He said that he was “[s]peaking very broadly about disease states that the general American population have and that it also applies to everyone including members of the U.S. House and Senate since they are also people just like you and I.”

Haint blue on Southern US porch ceilings is a similar approach, to trick ghosts and for aesthetics.

Do we have examples of the 1970s women's lib movement (for one example) receiving broad financial, social, and political support from large corporations across multiple industries?

>have one person do the more-than-fulltime job of homemaking.

This was almost always the woman.

>disappeared because corporations needed

Also because women did not like the absolute dedication of their lives to homemaking as a default. They wanted the freedom to join the paying workforce, and wanted equal pay for their work (still waiting on that).

There's some truth in your comment, but it glosses over the very real problems that came with the gender roles and subsequent power structures of that time.

Related, notes from the Mod Summit 9 months ago:

>Spez - I want our users, user-users and moderator users, to make money on reddit. Specifically, I want them to make money from other users. And so we need to have business models where users are paying money to other users or to subreddits. I would like subreddits to have the ability to be businesses. We have a lot of subreddits that are kind of trying to do this, but the platform just doesn't support it.

>i'm confused about your post, is this 4 topics? was this all one long title? what was this except exactly as what i described it as?

It was one of many posts that the r/python volunteer mods made, giving everyone a chance to vote and discuss. Was it "hidden" as you say? I don't know - I don't think so, it was a vote-by-comment instead of reddit poll to reduce fakery, and it required some context so everyone knew what they were voting on.

Good luck in your search for a new community. Perhaps drop in the discord server and see if anyone has suggestions for you. Link is on the sidebar of the archived page.

I'm not sure they were hiding anything; maybe you just missed it among the thousands of other posts collectively across thousands of subs about the blackout protest. There was also:

* June 11: 'r/Python Will Black Out on June 12 at 00:00 UTC'

* June 12: 'By community vote, r/Python will Return to a Blackout'

* June 16: 'An Update about our Community' (text started with links, 'Here is a summary of the changes which prompted the recent Blackout. Here's our announcement for doing the Blackout....' and then 'Hence we wish to take another poll of community feedback...'

* June 28: 'By community vote, r/Python will Return to a Blackout'

Looks like the volunteer r/python mods were doing their best to keep everyone involved in the decision-making and informed of the outcomes while also juggling that volunteer activity for a for-profit company with their paying jobs and real-world responsibilities.

Correcting myself for anyone searching for this later... Evernote v6.25.3.9348 (version that's guaranteed to work) was not on FileHippo. It was shared several times on the Evernote discussion boards, recently here: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/146705-fatal-mi..., which I've archived here: https://archive.ph/G4hdq - scroll to PinkElephant's comment.

Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install the legacy Evernote v.6.25.x.x. Evernote has removed it from their website but you can get it at FileHippo. Download this now - I downloaded 6.25.3.9348 and used it, but now it's gone from FileHippo... not sure why. https://filehippo.com/download_evernote/6.25.1.9091/ I installed on a separate computer, but probably you can run v10.x and v.6.25.x on the same one.

2. Follow the undocumented trick for downloading all notebooks at once. This will preserve tags as well. Archived here: https://archive.ph/XDnqN - scroll down to KoZz's comment posted on "Tuesday at 11:53 AM".

3. Then if you want to move to Obsidian, use YARLE but note the template that automatically loads doesn't work (it has spaces and breaks other rules). https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle

4. Template block definitions here: https://github.com/akosbalasko/yarle/blob/master/Templates.m... FWIW, I used this as my template (paste in the "Set Template" window for YARLE):

    {content-block}{content}{end-content-block}
    {tags-block}
    Tag(s): {tags}
    {end-tags-block}

Is that the best tool to delete posts and overwrite comments? I took a look at the developer's comments and last month he said about v 1.4.3 (3 years old) that it still works as it always did, but 2 years ago he was talking about a complete rewrite to fix things, and he never got around to it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerDeleteSuite/comments/mgshmh/a_...

Any opinions on shreddit or Redact?

Is it probably correct that shreddit and Redact depend on the API, but Power Delete Suite does not?

That's part of a whole program; while reddit lets many mods work for free they are paying these "mods" $20/hour to "organically" drum up subscribers on non-US subs. I shared some links about this a few months ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34481478

I think the tip jars are a scam, but tipping waitstaff is important. However: Tip waitstaff with cash because their wage is much lower than most tip-jar situations.

Restaurants pay workers the minimum wage for tipped workers ($2.13/hour in most states), but must make up the difference if the worker's wage plus tips don't equal the minimum wage ($7.25 in most states).

When I waited tables, we were forced to turn out our pockets at the end of a shift and count out our tips in front of the boss. A lot of us took cash tips and stuffed them in our shoes beforehand.

Plus waitstaff had to pay for the credit card charge (2% at that time for MasterCard and Visa) if someone charged their meal, so reducing that as much as possible was helpful.

And Reddit is paying some moderators. It's called the Community Builders Program; they are mostly paying people to moderate UK- and India-specific subs. US $20/hour; most volunteer mods know nothing about this but it's in the open.

There were some interesting observations on r/law, particularly this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/10h9vju/supreme_court_...

From there:

>The issue has been muddied by sites like reddit who have been keen to play up outlandish possibilities of individual users or volunteer moderators becoming liable, which has never been a likely outcome of this case. The bigger and more realistic threat to a site like reddit is the possibility that actions taken by tools like automoderators, slur filters, or recommendation algorithms (e.g., sorting by "hot") might become legally analogous to editorial decisions.

>Because those tools are sometimes set up by moderators and influenced by user actions (e.g. voting/reporting), there are sort of fringe or edge-case scenarios where the lines could potential blur between algorithmic policies and user/moderator actions. But we as users don't really need to worry too much about every conceivable edge-case legal theory, because a site like reddit would presumably be incentivized to remove or disable any tools that could create such a liability, to protect Reddit's own self-interest.

>The algorithms that keep people clicking/viewing/refreshing the site are critical to the business interests of sites like Reddit and Youtube. It's really important for reddit's bottom line to have broad latitude to gamify user engagement by showing more of what will keep people on reddit longer and more-frequently. That's a less flattering PR angle than playing up the possibility that reddit users or mods could get in legal trouble.

>It's not so much that there is no possible way that any ramification of this case could ever put a user or a mod of a site like reddit in any jeopardy in any conceivable scenario...It's more like, sites like Reddit have a lot to lose if their algorithmic recommendations should become legally analogous to editorial decisions.

Listeria's pretty hard to get rid of I guess - the Blue Bell ice cream company went through several rounds of issues with it, and it almost did their company in. Criminal penalties of over $17 million, too.

And their COO didn't bite anyone's nose...

That's (medical doctor) Dr. Greger's entire thing - nutrition information backed by science. He's got a tremendous amount of material on his website, all for free. Short videos (5-7 minutes) on YouTube every few days. Audio-only podcasts about once a week. Blog, email newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, etc., however you like to receive content. Everything searchable on his website. Everything thoroughly cited with links to research and studies published in medical journals.

He's published a few books, but most of that content is on his website as well; he donates all proceeds to charity.

Why do you believe Bioversity International would try to wipe out biodiversity in banana crops?

The article discusses the role UPF may play in inflammation. Unfortunately that part doesn't start until the 14th paragraph.

Dr. Greger has a good video that lists lots of other problems with ultra-processed foods: Ultra-Processed Junk Food Put to the Test: What happened when ultra-processed foods were matched for calories, sugar, fat, and fiber content in the first randomized controlled trial?

One interesting paragraph about midway down:

>Dr. Helen O’Connell, Australia’s first female urologist, recalled that in her own medical training, the clitoris barely made a cameo. In the 1985 edition of the medical textbook “Last’s Anatomy” that she studied, a cross-section of the female pelvis omitted the clitoris entirely, and aspects of the female genitals were described as “poorly developed” and a “failure” of male genital formation. Descriptions of the penis went on for pages. To her, this widespread medical disregard helped explain why her urology peers worked to preserve nerves in the penis during prostate surgeries but not during pelvic surgeries on women.
