> One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do

Interestingly, titles are generally written by a different person than the articles, and often a matter of contention with journalists.
Alcohol even at low doses is toxic that's why your liver has enzymes to break it down. Many other things are not nearly as toxic and most things that don't belong in the brain don't cross the blood brain barrier. Those which do and don't belong usually cause some sort of problems.

Mathematicians know mathematics is hard, and hardly ever expect you to fully understand they're saying, as you cannot compact in a handful of sentences something that took you hours, days or weeks to fully grasp. It doesn't mean that it's a waste of time: in an otherwise incomprehensible monologue you might find a nugget of knowledge that will stay with you, and will form a foundation on which the future understanding will rest.

I saw this up close in Boston (really Cambridge MA). In most American municipalities, neighborhood groups have enormous power to shape development. All development has to get approved by the city, and the city listens to neighborhood groups. Those groups can also petition a landmark commission to landmark a building making redevelopment much more difficult. And they can sue. Even when these tactics don't work, they're extremely time consuming. I've seen one court case drag on for years even though the people filing literally submitted briefs written in crayon. So it is often better to just settle with neighborhood groups, but like patent trolls, that only encourages them.

One issue is that in the US, we treat housing as the primary source of wealth for middle class people. So everyone is expected to be a homeowner. A world where the price of your primary wealth asset is rising is good! And a world in which its value is flat or falling is disastrous. And so local laws get shaped so as to keep housing prices high; in practice that means choking the supply of new more dense housing. After all, any change might harm the value of your home!

Interesting. I think the way to defeat this would be for everyone to jaywalk all the time, as often as possible. It would be even more interesting if the software actually displays the number of times the person has been caught. Gamify it and such.

How do you propose "picking" these world changing startups? Either you codify some rules that will inevitably be gamed, or you have some sort of discretionary body that will enact their own biases and possibly pick companies out of nepotism/corruption/etc.

It's also hard to tell what startups are world changing. Theranos probably seemed like a real life saver to 100s of millions globally. An Uber for home nurses might save that many lives, or it might be yet another scummy Hospice company that does everything it can to steal money from Medicare. Other businesses could have amazing effects that are hard to quantify: Google has certainly saved thousands of lives indirectly by providing easy access to information (due to the speed increases in research this allows as well as allowing people to treat/identify acute symptoms more easily), but how do you measure and predict this?

On the other hand, you have "vertical agriculture" companies that talk all about saving the world through a second agricultural revolution. But they're really only economical viable for growing marijuana.
But is that something people really need? To be able to audit their electricity transactions via the blockchain? Someone is going to have to write a tool (this is well beyond the average person), and that tool could easily be flawed. The meters themselves also aren't easily auditable... so many points of failure why is a blockchain the thing that matters?

Right, but beer varies widely in alcohol content. One "standard beer" might be defined as 12 oz / ~330ml @ 4.5% alcohol by volume, but many IPAs are 6-7% or greater, and in most U.S. states you can find lots of beer in excess of 10% ABV.
>That's the only reason not to steal everything? Just that it's impractical?

If you're talking about personal property, then I'm against stealing that. Private property and goods that can be infinitely copied at my cost are different matters. Perhaps it sounds cruel, but I do not believe that simply making and publishing something ought to guarantee one lengthy rights to decide as to how it is dealt with beyond the point of sale. I view it as an affront to my freedom.

>Copyleft advocates spend a lot of time defending their circumvention of copyright laws

Copyleft isn't about anti-copyright, rather copyleft is edorsing copyright and turning it aganist itself, i.e to use it for good not evil.

>but what about the actual content producers?

I'd be happy to support them voluntarily if they provide a method for me to do this, which guarantees that my money is going to them rather than other people. I'm not going to pay a publisher to do what I can do at home, i.e copy some media.

>I'm talking about directors, animators, musicians, etc.

I don't think that they are owed or deserve money just for making what they made. Yes, they made it on the assumption that they would, but that doesn't mean I have to buy into that assumption. I may (or may not) decide to support these people, but with my music collection many albums are out of print or there is no way to support the artist. If the artist has a bandcamp/patreon/donation link I may decide to give to that, ironically especially if they are willing to give it away for free in the first place.

weather balloons are typically not up for that long, 90 or so minutes on average. So I don't think that's solving the extended air time.

Cooking involves 3 steps: (1) recipe selection, (2) ingredient acquisition, and (3) cooking.

Blue Apron takes care of the first two, which I don't enjoy, and let's me do (3), which I very much enjoy. A grocery store doesn't solve (1) and only partially solves (2) (often has item availability, too much quantity issues, and then I have to measure it, too).
I'm not exactly sure where the contra- and co- originally came from, but here's some cat-egory theory.

Now suppose you have a special pipe that when you push a dog into it, a cat comes out on the other end. This is called a dog-to-cat pipe. If you stick a dog-to-cat pipe to the end of a pipe of dog, then you get a pipe of cat (from the point of view of the sink end). The transformation varies with the direction of the dog-to-cat pipe. Hence covariant.

Now, what if you have a cat-to-dog pipe and stick it to the source end of a pipe of dog? Then you have a pipe of cat, from the source's point of view. The transformation varies against the direction of the cat-to-dog-pipe. Hence contravariant.

The example in the parent comment is with the more realistic example of a terrier-to-dog pipe or a dog-to-animal pipe. Of course, a pipe of dog is just a special name for a dog-to-dog pipe.

(Where this gets somewhat more complicated is when you have pipes which take pipes.)
> But the point has been made several times in this thread, it's not much cheaper.

Yes, it is.

> Unless you're referring to some Michelin-starred restaurant, it's quite possible to eat fast-casual for the same price of many of these kits (especially if you live in a suburb where restaurants tend to be much cheaper than in e.g. SF)

Blue Apron is $8.74 (family plan) or $9.99 (couples plan) per plate for complete dinners. I live in the suburbs in the Central Valley (not the Bay Area) and it's well below fast-casual prices for comparable composition meals (also, better quality than most fast-casual places.)

Now, if you are talking about fast-food rather than fast-casual, that still is cheaper.
WaPo is 50% Trump and 50% a moderately better version of buzzfeed.
Most I visit already offer this service although not in a customer comprehensible way. I think this is because grocery stores are typically managed as little fiefdoms with produce, meat, bakery doing their own thing. Each will produce some kit-like packaged meals and sometimes cooperate with other units. I've yet to see a high level of coordination in the manner of the meal kit services.
Even in that case it's easy to expect the Typescript compiler to remain in existence for its language services (such as intellisense) alone. (Just as Typescript is already used in "salsa" mode by many IDEs/Editors for providing language services for non-Typescript JS code today.)

That said, you would expect more of a middle ground like Python where Typescript type annotations become syntactically valid in ECMAScript but with no clear semantics at runtime, and Typescript would still be needed to compile/verify type assertions.

There's also the case that transpilers will likely remain test beds for both future features for the language and supporting complicated backwards compatible scenarios.
1.16 billion landline phones in 2013 per Wikipedia (CIA world factbook reported 1.26b in 2003; either is likely a roughly good peak global number, a solid mix between high globalization development (eg China & India had started to get large enough economically to install plenty of landlines) and pre high-level cellphone dominance in the developing world):

Dezoning most American cities would be quite a good thing. We massively subsidize parking thanks to our zoning requiring parking minimums (such that buildings are only able to rent parking for low $0.xx/sqft a month, versus $x/sqft a month for housing in the same building), and we also block or kneecap larger buildings by restricting their size and the number of units within them.

These restrictions (nearly all carried out as zoning) could easily be removed and allow a wave of development to occur, lowering housing costs and keeping many people from ending up homeless in the first place.
Not going to lie that sounds like an awesome idea, and a sweet app.
I don't think its a matter of picking some chosen out of a crowd, I mean to say that the Bay Area should focus all policies on being pro-business to attract startups of any type.

I specifically mentioned crap startups because I'm sure its the first rebuttal to my suggestion (tax breaks for uber for party cups?!?!)
>So even if you don't believe Google, there's at least some evidence that a lot of people actually do like services showing up.

Yes, and this is exactly what the decision entails, these services should be ranked on their own merit. Google shouldn't be allowed to artificially prioritize their services on searches but let them compete with others.

"It [Google] gave prominent placement in its search results only to its own comparison shopping service, whilst demoting rival services."
> Building affordable housing isn't a priority,

But why should it be? Why is creating low cost housing in the bay area better than spending that money in, say, Sacramento? What are the individual, societal and area benefits of doing it on the bay area vs anywhere else in the state of California?

I am being contrarian to be sure, Full disclosure: Australian with no dog in this fight.

So I ask because Tyler Cowan (https://medium.com/conversations-with-tyler/patrick-collison...) made the point that the Bay Area makes a lot of great global goods, and loosening housing regulation is effectively a tax on the current, extremely productive people that live in the Bay Area.

Given that these people pay taxes in California, why not find somewhere else to house less well to-do people? Somewhere less expensive, less productive and less likely to be problematic for the residents, would seem ideal.

$1,000,000 in SF buys sweet FA, but that would 3 median priced houses in Sacramento, and it is less than 100 miles away.

So I just wonder what the correct level is to do these things at: country, State, City, Suburb or street? I just think there are only so many dollars, why is the argument about where they are spent, rather than how effectively?
Sure, counterfactual causation is the gold standard in science, but it is extremely difficult to pin down experimentally (in this case it requires an experiment, or a natural experiment, where people are forced to drink 2 drinks daily over a span of 30 years. This is not only impossible but unethical.). The judgement of causation from correlation is usually an art not a science, with the use of such things as instrumental variables or other such "soft" techniques, which boil down to opinion and expert knowledge.

The article itself states that the authors believe there is an element of causation in the study

"Alcohol might represent a modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment, and primary prevention interventions targeted to later life could be too late."

The "may" is, of course a kind of scientific hedging, but I do not think the journalists made an unfair reading of the paper. Bear in mind many of these articles are made in consultation with the authors themselves. If you have any problems with the conclusions of the article, you should take it to the authors of the paper itself, not the journalists

10 Leadership Lessons I Learned from 8 Years at SoundCloud
The Financial Times largely avoids editorializing its news sections, and employs real journalists (maybe because executives need accurate information and are willing and able to pay for it).

Notice how even big stories often appear significantly later on the FT website compared to other outlets, but when they do appear they've generally got the facts straight.

Their subscription fees are substantial, but if we don't want everything reduced to ad-based sensationalism we're going to need to pay actual money.
I agree that this is not a simple problem, but I'm concerned that a platform for selling private medical services has the wrong incentives, particularly in a country with nationalised healthcare.
It's actually 0.6 ounces of alcohol irrespective of alcohol content. Therefore 12 oz 5% beer = 1.5 oz 40% liquor = 5 oz 12% wine = 1 unit

Sorry to say this, you don't have a negotiation position.

At worse, they will fool you thinking they will buy something, just to extract the deeper details and then think they can do it on their own as you mention. Happens often.

Best bet is being hired to join their team, albeit I'm not sure how pleasant that would be for you. If you see a company/manager that you want to join, this might be a good opportunity.

In either case, your intuition will be the best help. If you don't feel you can trust someone you are negotiating on this topic, very likely you won't get a good outcome.
Meal kits are making your own food. What you are paying for is, well, the "kit" part: not having to shop with potentially inconvenient sizes, and getting everything pre-measured for the meal.
what you are suggesting has grave realities for those who cannot or do not want to mess with formal verification techniques. This is the future of computing and a lot of people will be left behind once this catches on.
IMO having some Node.js experience and React experience are very helpful to get hired into any position that is remotely near the web these days. I have seen several of my clients introduce Node.js and of course everyone is introducing SPAs in some form or another, mostly React. Mozilla is even integrating React into Firefox's UI.

I am personally skeptical of these trends, but my skepticism doesn't change the shift of the industry. My advice would be to get some Node and React experience under your belt so that you can at least discuss it intelligently, and it shouldn't be too much of an impediment moving forward.

Python is in a tough spot for growth, IMO. The new generation of languages have internalized much of what made Python great, while leaving behind a lot of the inadequacies and cruft attached to CPython.

Like you, I will always have a soft spot for Python, but it's getting increasingly difficult to continue to see it as the default choice for new projects (outside of a few specific niches).
Amazing to me that 3.2 billion people could be watching the same thing at once while I have no awareness at all that it's happening.
I thought you were suggesting that life was better when we had a sole breadwinner and a stay-at-home wife. I don't agree with that and read your comment uncharitably that way. On rereading it, I think you're saying there are two optimal points on this curve: having a live-in cook ("the wife") and going to a restaurant, and most of the stuff in the middle is pointless. I don't agree with that either but it's less of a charged topic.
SF attitudes towards certain behaviors make hard to do what most cities do, which is arrest these people and make them go somewhere out of sight.

There are cleaning staff going through the area cleaning stuff up. But people still are doing their crap and the laws are unenforced because of those political reasons.

I also think SF police & the city decided the tenderloin was the homeless containment zone long time ago with SROs being there. That is also where the civic center station is.
How do you write

awk '{print $3 ":" $1 " " $2}'

in Perl?
My phone, and your phone too (possibly) is something like 1.2 GHz per core, with 4 cores; most phones have a similar spec (and those numbers are going up, too); basically figure 1-2 GHz per core, with 2-4 cores generally.

That said, when I started using computers, my first machine ran at 897 Khz on an 8-bit CPU, and had 16k of RAM. I was 11 years old, and this was a pretty standard machine for the time, unless you had real money (and even there, on the top end - not counting minicomputers or mainframes - you'd be lucky to break 8 MHz and a meg of RAM).

But I know I am of a different era. And honestly, I've stopped caring about CPU speeds too, because lately they don't change much (top end is about 4-5 GHz per core; servers can have around 32 cores - though that is increasing too).

What should be cared about is memory usage per process, and how the software you are using (or which multiple people are using) delegates that out. For instance, with PHP (not sure with PHP 7) you have one process per user, and depending on how much memory those processes take, will ultimately lead to an upper limit on the number of users that can be served at one time. In that case, knowing your memory usage and constraints of the server could be very important (there are a ton of other factors to consider as well, I know).
Blue Apron may not have a "moat", but successful small businesses do. Those moats are personal service and personal connections. It doesn't scale up so you can't turn it into a unicorn IPO, but it could be a comfortable life.

That's the best idea I've seen in this thread so far.

Taken one step further with the farm-to-table concept, I can see suburban delivery of local meal kits directly from nearby farms on a subscription basis. It becomes a value-add on the CSA concept.

In my area we have a pretty big concentration of high-income earners in relatively close proximity to small farms. It could probably be made to work in a situation like that.
Be very careful about this in a shared environment. AVX512 slows down the CPU cores because of thermal, voltage throttling. The instructions "take more work". Intel CPUs take 1 MILLIsecond to return to normal speed.

If you're doing any kind of rapid context switching, or multiple workloads, depending on how your scheduler is setup, the OTHER workloads will show up as using more percentage of CPU time per work item. It's non-intuitive, and difficult to debug.
Is there any proof whatsoever of this? It assumes that the natural behavior of cells in the brain is dysfunctional. Herd culling is a normal part of ecology in that weaker animals become prey to predators. Humans add their own complexity to that natural order of the system.
