The article did not point out to other details of their research like:
1. Do the Tsimane people consume or have access to processed foods?
2. Vaccinations?
3. Any access to pharmaceutical products?

It also mentioned on the article:

"The scientists scanned 705 people's hearts in a CT scanner after teaming up with a research group scanning mummified bodies."

If they performed the test on mummified bodies, how were they able to determine the amount of CAC at the age of 45 and again at the age of 75?

I wonder if they also performed some tests for those people who are still alive?

people are just arguing over each other because the other's point of view is unimaginable.

on the one hand, providing basic necessities which is deemed a basic human right, like clean water, is a no brainer. it should be done regardless, and if the city cannot afford it, it ought to be subsidized by an out of city entity like the state.

on the other hand, what's the worth of these human lives? if it cost more money to keep a city running than the productivity it produces, it makes sense to cut it out. it leaves the resources that would've been allocated to be used elsewhere.
He borrowed $1.2 billion. He took on an incredibly large debt. No one ever got rich applying for credit cards.

The purpose of getting 50 tonnes of rare earths is to pay back those debts, and pay for the next big project that needs a billion dollars.

Lowering the cost of rare metals would also be a big boon for humanity. Mining in Earth is not an industry known for its safety or cleanliness, and lower prices of those metals would bring down the cost of many technological innovations to levels that more people can have them.

I see asteroid mining as not just a profitable thing, but a project worthy of doing at a level beyond finance.
Ask HN: What CRM do you use, why, and how do you integrate it with your app?
A challenge that I'm running into while scaling my company is related to customer database management. The app has a customer database and an admin area, but I've found that non-technical employees such as sales and customer success want to do stuff with the customer database that the app's admin panel doesn't allow, such as reporting or adding notes. Over time my engineering team has added some of those features to the admin panel, but I feel that using a CRM for managing the customer database probably makes more sense going forward.

I'm looking for advice. Which CRM do you use, and why did you choose that CRM? The biggest one is Salesforce, and the sales people seem to love it because it has every feature they need, but I'm not so impressed by the UI/UX. It feels like something that only salespeople will end up using, but not everybody else, because the UI/UX feels awkward and complicated. This will put the sales team on an island, which I feel is dangerous.

Who inside your organization use the CRM? Is it only sales people? Or also other roles like marketing people, account managers, tech support people, etc? Ideally I want a CRM solution that everybody wants to use, not because they have to but because it is nice. This way, everybody inside the organization always knows exactly what is going on with a customer which improves business continuity. Does anybody recognize this problem? Which CRM fits this bill?

Finally, how do you integrate the CRM with your app? Is the integration one-way (changing stuff in the app modifies the CRM, but not the other way around) or two-way?

The linux on the desktop statements were aimed at displacing windows on the desktop in its traditional role in businesses and homes, something that hasn't really happened.

What has happened is that a new class of devices was created that uses linux at the core, but that's not the desktop. (Happy 'linux on the desktop' user here since a very long time, roughly since it supported 'X' and my trusty SGI Indy got too slow to stay with the times).

Judge signs search warrant for anyone who Googled someone’s name
When searching for the crack, it means someone thinks that the software isn't worth the value being asked (or they might not have any way to pay). The honeypot page doesn't provide anything useful to the question. I think scaring customers who are looking for cracks with "you're sooooo gonna get malware, stop doing that" sounds a bit cheap and might turn some away. Having that page sounds like a smug idea to 'outsmart' the customers (which I think is dangerous). It gives the impression 'ahaha I knew you will do this, caught ya' -- you're trying too hard like a car salesman. Best case, they grudgingly pay for your shit. What probably will happen is that they click back and move to the next result.

There might be some actual, helpful solutions to the customer given you are facing a customer trying to save a buck:

1. Actually giving them a discount: Providing a discounted license. Giving them a student discount. Providing a reduced/lite mode/ad-enabled license (for example, powered by... on the printed cards). Providing WinRAR-style functionality. Extending their trial period. Actually offering them a way to email you to ask for a free license and explain why they can't afford or pay for it.

2. Showing a cheaper (but inferior, possibly) software/solution that does the same thing as the thing you're trying to sell.

3. Showing the customer a way to DYI.

After trying 2 or 3 and the customer concluded to themselves "fuck it, it sucks even more for me to try saving a couple of bucks than to buy this outright," then there is a chance they might actually be happy to buy it.
This really depends more on your current lifestyle and status.

Some people are driven during their young age to work more (while the energy is there and personal commitments are less) and try to save up for the years ahead. Others have a more laid-back lifestyle where they value their personal time off than just being able to earn a lot more.

In the end, you are going to make your decision based on the circumstances surrounding yourself, whether it is really worth it to sacrifice that extra day of possible rest and recreation time with a somewhat generous pay to beef up your bank account.

It's a very strange feeling to see that cyberpunk has become irrelevant today, while still being right on some judgments. Corporations are bigger than ever, the Net has become vital resource for billions of people, climate is changing and air became unbreathable in many giant megalopolises but... it's not a dystopia, it's just the future that came and felt different from what we had expected, a sort of normality that is not worse than anything in the history before. Probably, the reason is that we've got 404 in our search of the ultimate evil to oppose to. There's no single ultimate evil to resist, there are many smaller ones and many come from the resistance itself, because there's no ultimate truth to defend. The future has come and there's no cyberpunk in it.

You're missing my point because you don't understand the meaning I'm going for here. The comment box is not markdown, it's plaintext. This is not a rich text WYSIWYG editor.

My original point is that plenty of software does plaintext wrapping just fine and it's pretty ridiculous that consoles are stuck in this 80 character mindset.
There is something very much not right about a shareholder of a company like Palantir trying to sell their stake to a Chinese shareholder. That would give the Chinese fractional ownership of all the software and data that Palantir holds and processes, not much good could come of that.
Indeed. You can't know what's truly true (istina) without some crucible in which free ideas flow, to enable the discourse which moves toward that truth. Free speech is quintessential to escaping the pravda, truthiness-es and alt-facts fed to us. The side effect is that some alt-facts find a safe space to thrive and multiply. I don't think this can be avoided, I think it ultimately is a feature of nature.

To use a machine learning analogy, all the pravda out there - everyone's relative truths - is your training set. If you limit your training set, you lose some ability to generalize to the real world.

Why do you think it's a good thing for people with celiac disease that pretty much every restaurant has gluten free options on their menu?

Most restaurants advertising gluten-free items don't have dedicated cookware, utensils, cutting surfaces, grill areas, etc., which greatly raises the risk of cross-contamination.

And a significant percentage of gluten-free products in supermarkets are made in shared facilities that process wheat - why count that as helpful for celiac sufferers?

EDIT: I'd seriously love to be able to psychologically go into the average restaurant or fast food place and buy their gluten-free food without getting sick, so I welcome evidence as to why I'm wrong.

If you go read the study, there is a potentially rather severe experimental flaw.

My wife has what seems to be fairly severe gluten intolerance, which shows up approximately 3 days after she consumes even small amounts of glutinous. She had this for years before trying an elimination diet and discovering this effect. Please note that it shows up even if she does not know she has had gluten -- we sometimes are able to sort out ingredients after the fact, and if she has the reaction, it will show up if we look deep enough.

The report says, the test was done by rotating diet every 3 days. If my wife were in the study, her reaction would show up in the next food rotation. So to measure the effect we see with my wife, the experiment would need to measure reactions with approximately a 3 day delay- otherwise it would look like the sensitivity was random. The article does not indicate that this approach was taken so I wonder about error.

As for my wife, her health improved dramatically after eliminating gluten from her diet, though it's pretty clear that she doesn't have ciliac.

Perhaps it's something else in the gluten containing foods (and not in other foods) besides gluten that's having this effect, but if so, avoiding gluten is a very good marker for whatever this gluten-containing-food substitute might be.

While Zero to One is well written and often edifying, The Diversity Myth contains clinkers like "But since a multicultural rape charge may indicate nothing more than belated regret, a woman might ‘realize’ that she had been ‘raped’ the next day or even many days later. Under these circumstances, it is unclear who should be held responsible. If the alcohol made both of them do it, then why should the woman’s consent be obviated any more than the man’s? Why is all blame placed on the man?"

That's pretty awful, even compared to the notable lack of diversity and bro culture in some tech companies.
Point. Although I'd argue that the economic trends of the 1950s-1970s were in-spite-of rather than because-of the counterculture movement (Piketty, Capital, war being the greatest economic equalizer, etc). But the 60s definitely did hasten the unseating of previous thoughts and people in positions of power.

We're probably just starting to tip past Boomer-in-power to GenX-in-power in the upper echelon of power structures.

Which incidentally probably explains why older companies finally seem to be starting to "get" the internet, now that I think about it...

Also don't see why a Chinese company can't buy shares in a company. Financial products, just like other products, are purchasable by any nationality.

It's not entirely accurate to say the Linux kernel wasn't forked. There are many distros that manage a separate kernel from the standard releases and backport individual changes, RHEL is an example of this.

Now it's not exactly accurate to call this a fork either b/c they do eventually catch up... but still, lots of non-standard kernels out there.

By any measure that is available China is a country that is inferior to a vast chunk of the world when it comes to civil liberties and political freedom.

I learned Linux this way a decade and a half ago when it was far (and still is imho!) more convenient to quickly search a man page than google something. (with slow internet start times, browser startup times, etc)

Now, sometimes when people watch me work in a shared session they comment on my "peculiar" (to them) usage of flipping between -h --help and man $command, because there's a whole lot of switches I have memorized over time, but even more that I just have good reference points for.

But, bar none, what I've noticed among my peers is that the people that have always bowed to quick google solutions never really have taken the time to learn what they're doing. They almost always seems to be the 'quick fix', 'get it working now, sort it out later' types.
That works for one lookup. The service I'm building on top of pyasn uses zeromq and can do 100,000+ lookups/sec
