It isn't really unhealthy as a part of your overall diet, but that peanut butter is tricky. Peanut butter lends itself to overeating - a serving size is only 2 tablespoons. About the size of a ping-pong ball. This isn't consistent with the ways most of us eat the stuff. Not to mention that it is just packed with calories. The combination makes it really easy to overeat.

Peanuts are a slightly easier option to control. There are about 45 peanuts in a serving of peanut butter. That isn't bad at all and seems a lot more filling in the long run and harder to over-do with a bit of self-control.
No it isn't, that's just another ad
Then I think your knowledge of government oppression around the world is neither complete nor nuanced. One obvious reason is that the citizens of such countries don't have access to safe platforms to write about their oppression. Which brings us right back to my original comment about the need for democratic empowerment tools so that people around the world atleast can atleast communicate what oppressions exist around the world.

But then why is your discussion about me (and my alleged agenda) instead of my message? The claim that technology is a double-edged sword made without any kind of supporting explanation neither enlightened me nor persuaded me to change my original opinions.

As for the personal attack, fluency in anything is from individual effort and habits. Your comment actually made me happy that atleast one person in the world thinks my English is good enough to be mistaken for a native speaker's, since I myself think I'm not naturally fluent in it and I usually have to put in extra mental effort to appear to be fluent in it. If you are insinuating that that I'm some kind of a paid propaganda troll for the US government, then it's hands down the weirdest and also funniest insinuation I've faced. Thanks for the giggles!
Wouldn't it just be the 777 that competes with the a380? It seems like it's just not very cost effective for US airlines to compete with the likes of Etihad or Emirates, which operate with government subsidies. In general, it looks like competition and demand for some international routes are dwindling and thus fewer new big jumbo planes are being bought.

For example, United is the only US airline that flies to India.

Once the original patent is expired, you can do whatever you want with it. Evergreening can’t lfsvent you from creating a generic version of the original patented drug. But demand for the generic might be limited if the new version of the drug is better. (People don’t want to be stuck taking an inferior version of a drug.)

Your analogy (quite common on HN) is bad because it totally disregards the weight of luck in these two situations.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 can both seat up to ~350 passengers, which is not hugely different from the 350-450 on a longhaul 747, but is much more efficient since they're twin-engine instead of quad. (And yes, you can cram in well over 500 pax into a 747 if you use an tight economy-only config, but few airlines do.)

The overall trend in aviation is point-to-point routes and frequent flights on smaller planes. Just today it was announced that Sydney-Melbourne is now the world's second busiest air route, even though it's almost entirely served by "small" 737/A320s: https://www.ausbt.com.au/sydney-melbourne-is-now-the-world-s...

There are still A380s flying, but they only make sense on those fairly rare routes where you've got massive volume and tight slot restrictions. London-Singapore/Dubai-Sydney works, not a whole lot of other routes do.

It's not really machine-learning over algorithms, but more optimization over algorithms. These are essentially the algorithms which are already found to control robots and other various plants [0]. The idea is that sometimes you have a parameter somewhere which needs optimization. With these approaches you can leave it lingering in your code, and optimize it later as required in your setup or for your application.

Exclusivity is extended with patents covering new formulations, manufacturing processes, alternative dosings, injection devices, risk evaluation and mitigation strategies...

> I guess I meant added sugar.

I think using the term "refined sugar" would also capture what you mean.
The A380 was purpose built for the Airlines like Etihad which use the Hub-Model, where flights are routed through big hubs such as Dubai Airport. To run this you need huge Planes to manage the high passenger flows between the hubs. However most Airlines seem to be moving to a point-to-point model, flying directly between destinations. They utilize larger fleets of smaller planes, like the A320.

Boeing has specially designed the B787 to serve as a point-to-point plane.

Airbus has also acquired a contolling stake in Bombariers C-Series Programme in a move towards smaller planes.

Pennies per dose for a biologic?
Exactly. Lottery winners are multiple, week in, week out, in each country.

Multi-billion entrepreneurs remain 200 or so in 8 billion for years.

So it's hugely less probable. And I'm fairly sure IQ and DNA and work ethic is not that different between 8 billion people to account for such huge a skew in outcomes. In fact we know that IQ is a regular bell curve (and Bezos or Jobs) are nowhere near its upper right limits.

In fact, I'm willing to bet that people with higher IQ, better work ethic and better education than multi-billionaires that are not multi-billionaires.

So it's either some mystical "being good in entrepreneurship" skill (which is tautological way to say their good in business because they're good in business) that they possess, or luck plays a huge role in their ascend.

Sure but that's only calculating for inflation. There's also been real growth in income over the time period.
Eating lots of honey, or treacle, or brown sugar, or agave syrup, or condensed fruit juice, is going to give you the same problems as eating added white sugar.
I disagree completely. While hitting it as big as Jeff Bezos did relies on luck, there's generally themes and qualities that lend themselves to being "lucky" as you call it. And even if you dont hit it as big as Bezos, those qualities can improve your life and other's opinion of you. For example, Jeff Bezos always gets the job done. Nearly every tech success story has some variation of that skill, the ability to complete the task, sometimes in a roundabout way, even if it seemed impossible.

This is not to say acquiring that trait gives you a billion dollar company. But it certainly doesn't hurt to have.

> The point of the metric I gave was that it is more robust of a measure to manipulation than market cap. What do you think is the "value under liquidation" [0]

The market cap of Google is 780 billion.

The value under liquidation of Google is (you can find this in their financial reports) ~100 billion. Even that is a vast overestimation of what it would fetch in a firesale, because it's assuming, for example, that with Google firesaling, the ad "inventory" would sell for what it's currently selling for. (There another 70 billion in "intangibles" (guess how much that fetches in a firesale)).

Granted that's pretty high (a company that pays dividends, like Microsoft, it'd be way less, and for insane stocks like Amazon ... let's not go there).

Which do you think reflects the value of Google ? It's an interesting question, and you can if you like get a bachelor, masters or PhD in various ways to answer that question.

But I would say there is no one good answer. Not for XRP, BTC, or for Google, not even for things like the US Dollar.
The need for ECC has nothing to do with maintenance or proper administration.

You really don't need ECC as normal user, most of the time bit flips won't really hurt you. However, if, for example, you run long-running tasks like 3D rendering or Physical Simulations you may want ECC just to be sure your OS won't be killed by a bit flip in the wrong section. Your photo gallery or music collection however will most likely never be hurt by something like that, so still, consumers don't need to waste their money on overpriced ECC memory.

> Haskell and Scala are already very complicated, and they are becoming even more complicated at a very fast rate. This will only make life harder when we finally bite the bullet and admit that we need a formal semantics for the mess we have created.

It's very hard to know what we need formal semantics for if we don't simultaneously try to write practical programs. There's a tick-tock pattern at work here: start with a clean formal language, figure out what extensions are needed to write practical programs in it, at first in an ad-hoc way, then figure out a way to make that extension in a sound, compatible way, then finally form a new clean formal language that accommodates these extensions. If you just want a language with formal semantics, ML or Haskell 98 exist already; Scala or GHC Haskell extend these to languages we can write industrial programs with, and then Dotty or Idris are clean formalisable designs with the lessons learned from this.

> Moreover, this complexity only yields at best marginal increases in the extent to which these languages aid software verification. Effort would be better spent trying to figure out how much verification you can wrangle out of relatively simple type systems like ML's. I have actually tried this, and obtained (IMO) promising results: core types prove some simple things, proper use of modules proves a few more simple things, but most importantly, they make complicated things easier to (formally!) prove by other means.

Not my experience. I've found HKT and dependent types extremely useful in practice; they give me a simple way to directly encode the business properties I care about verifying. Of course if you've come up with something useful I'm interested, and I'm sure many others would be, but I'd strongly disagree with the notion that what the academics are doing isn't useful.

> As a result, a programming language based on Martin-Löf type theory has to be crippled in unacceptable ways (e.g. totality, IOW, “fixing a prior notion of acceptable recursion”) to prevent it from being type-unsound.

Not at all convinced that e.g. Idris-style totality is "unacceptable". What's the problem with it?

> There is ample theoretical and practical evidence that no single language can be good for everything, so there will be situations in which we need to compose program fragments written in different languages.

Again not at all convinced. Certainly my practical Scala experience is that it's good for everything.

No worries. Take it any way you choose. As I said, if this does not apply to you personally, then a pinch of salt is probably the best way to take it.

Facebook Newsfeed’s New Approach – Designing Against Misinformation
I wonder what the motivations are behind public engagement like this?

I have no idea whether Mr Bezos is a nice bloke or not; but unfortunately for him being the most richest man in the world means most people have a somewhat negative disposition towards him.

for example this quote from the article "And finally, his most ridiculous quote of the talk" paints him as some sort of a disconnected member of high society (and perhap he is) but going from the previous quotes he seems quite well adjusted.

I swear this is becoming more and more common. ... and well, I am more than capable of forming opinions on my own.

Dogecoin isn't really a parody, not in the way that e.g. Useless Ether Token is a parody. It's a relatively lighthearted, fun cryptocurrency, but it's at least as legitimate as e.g. Litecoin, and the only way to see it as less legitimate than Bitcoin is if you see something magical about the fact that Bitcoin was first.

It may be a big opportunity for Apple. After all most of their income comes from device sales, not from app store. Offering tools for parents which make them feel good, might cause them to spend the extra $100-200 per kid and get them iPhone instead of cheaper Android device.

Of course others could follow with similar features and this would remove the possible advantage Apple had, leaving them with no advantage and reduced app store revenue. Or if others don't follow, this might drive developers to other platforms.
