It is not about eating right but eating right every day that makes it hard. The way vitamins work is that you need them every day which is why there is a daily recommended percentage of all our foods. Which is why it is still a good idea to supplement with a vitamin tablet.
Interesting! Thanks for the informative reply. This feels like the kind of thing I probably read about at some point but subsequently forgot.
With calls and texts, certainly, but with Internet traffic? Bear in mind as well, ISPs tend to be monopolies in more rural areas, where the distance between people is higher to begin with. And most of your communications on the Internet will go to or from a server, which is likely not local.
Building a house is very different from building a product. For example, timeline estimates for building a house can be reasonably ascertained; not so for software.

It's the distinction between building something you've built before and architecting a new bridge or building. The latter is a creative effort with lots of variables that are extraordinarily hard to pin down into estimates that would be acceptable in spec house construction.
Yeah the “fake news” narrative only serves the large media corporations that want to maintain their monopoly on content. Over time more news sources, including “fake” ones, will actually improve culture and society.
That feature's on my (currently just mental) TODO list for my http-serve crate (https://github.com/scottlamb/http-serve). I want to use it in my moonfire-nvr app.

You can mitigate the speed issue by adding your own DNS local caches and then start blocking ads, trackers and malware sites and whomever you want (FB is added to the spyware list) using publicly available lists. All of this speeds browsing considerably.

A personalized router is very powerful.
Great! Now the whole world can see which domains you are interested in. This is supposed to be some last resort backup when all other DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and others) are down or blocked? In that extreme case of unavailability, what is the guarantee that local Govt is not involved and Twitter and/or sms to Twitter is not blocked.

Am I missing any use case here?
For me personally diets that switch between what I eat never work. My wife is an amazing cook, she cooks for fun more than as a sustenance which means there is always amazing stuff to eat around the house.

The only things I HAVE been able to do (I went from 223 to 152 now) are:

- track what I eat exactly without cheating.

- account for equivalent amount of base calories + exercise.

- control the # I eat of all the fancy stuff. If it is a brownie, I have to walk away after half a piece. If it is a couple of cookies, no lunch.

In general, there hasn't been an easy replacement meal. Thankfully I control breakfast and lunch (oats / skip it / replace with carrots/eggs etc. in office) and I ride over weekends.

I think this is being very generous to the idea of skepticism. Skepticism is a very difficult thing to learn properly, and more or less being a skeptic of modern media seems to be more heavily related to dismissing any information which contradicts you own paradigm of the world in favor of a more simplistic model that works for you. Dismissing all media except for "the one true source" is really no better than exposing yourself to all of it and believing it blindly. It's just substituting one absolute truth for another. I honestly don't think that what Fox does will cannibalize their own bad reporting; it will only strengthen it, because unless one is actively seeking to question the truths they hold dear, they will never really take the time to validate what they already "know". It's a very humbling thing to accept that what you know may be based on bad information, and to live in a constant fantasy since it's more convenient.

I hope we will grow past this, but right now we're still working on learning to sort the vast amount of information we're exposed to daily.

> I've always wondered why people are so hard on Facebook, but give At&t and the other ISPs a free pass to do whatever they want.

Because we choose to use AT&T and other ISPs. Facebook has enough beacons spread across millions of websites that even if you choose not to have a Facebook account, it's still monitoring you.
I don't know about you, but Facebook is under US jurisdiction, and I'd rather they didn't launch a remote-sensing satellite without going through some regulatory hoops.

> So the value of their labor above and beyond which they are compensated for can be extracted and redistributed - mostly in the form of profits.

I don't think that is the working model. The value of labor is decreased by government policy because it's believed that wages are sticky and decreasing the wage value will lead to greater employment macroeconomically.

Yes, the downstream effect is that we line the pockets of corporations and the already wealthy, but the justification and motivation for it is progressive social policy.
I believe they point to the same network of servers, making it exactly the same. Having two IP addresses is just custom, and makes users resilient to address issues affecting one of the addresses.

It also might help APNIC establish how much of the traffic to 1.1.1.1 is due to Cloudflare running a popular public DNS service, vs. how much is due to the address by subtracting the 1.0.0.1 traffic from the 1.1.1.1 data.
Naive questions:

What has been the US legal/regulatory framework governing "privacy" that telecomunications operators have had to work within for the past thirty years?

Has Facebook had to operate within that same framework? As FB grew, has it been subject to the same restrictions?

Has Facebook, with the billions they have made through collecting and monetising user data, and with the competition they have given to the telecommunications providers, played any role in any "shrinking" of past privacy protections afforded telecom subscribers?

I have not lived very long but the big difference I see from past decades is that collecting user data and monetising it is viewed as a "core business".

While I was not yet born at the time, I am confident that the telegraph was not funded by reading peoples telegrams and trying to sell that information to merchants. As far as I know telephone service was not funded by recording peoples conversations and marketing the value of the collected information to advertisers. Even consumer internet service, first appearing in the 1990s, was not funded by collecting user data and trying to "monetise" it.

"Free" communication thanks to the internet has brought us a new type of company. It operates in a legal grey area, free from many of the restrictions that applied to its predecessors. Until proven otherwise, it appears that without collecting data on users and marketing it to third parties, this type of company cannot survive.

Yet, whether these new companies exist or not, as far as I can see communication over the internet is still "free". (The cost being the internet subscription fees.) Of course when a user chooses to utilise the "services" of these companies to "simplify" their internet use (or even their first introduction to the internet), that notion of "free" becomes rather complicated.
It was "fast" in the sense you refer to as because it was batshit: every ISP and Usenet provider was forced to keep a copy of every public message everybody was reading. In its heyday, running a market-competitive Usenet server strained commercial storage technology (running an actually-competitive Usenet server required custom software engineering), and that was with a userbase a fraction of the size of Reddit.

Of course, it was incredibly slow in a more important sense: the latency with which you'd see responses to your messages. Your reply had to propagate through the network of Usenet peering relationships before your counterparty could see it. Contrast that to "primitive" web message boards, where that propagation is instantaneous.

But, most importantly: because everyone was keeping a replicated log of everything anyone had ever sent, almost nobody had archives. The only way to read old forum messages was to... wait for it... go to a web application like DejaNews.

Software piracy killed Usenet --- binaries made it impossible for a typical provider (of any sort) to provide full-feed Usenet, which is what customers demanded, and so everyone gradually migrated to centralized providers. But even if that hadn't happened, Reddit would have killed Usenet eventually.

(I ran a Freenix-ranked Usenet server in the 1990s for a mid-sized regional ISP, in part by independently inventing the INN history cache; my love for NNTP is deep and real.)
Not to mention the early iPhone days generally meant making a separate mobile or iPhone version of the site rather than embracing diversity.

It's only been in the past few years that sites have started to work relatively well between mobile and desktop formats without a separate mobile site.
People who are sat behind devices configured by lazy sysadmins who copied configuration examples out of a textbook. Also people on some public Wi-Fi networks - I have noticed 1.1.1.1 being used for HTTP landing pages more than once.
So I'm not really the right person to answer this question however.....

When I was younger I used to tinker with tiny electrical projects (from NZ so we had "Dick Smith" kits). I understood the very basics, but nothing complicated. As a fairly proficient software developer, real electronics has always felt alien to me.

Then recently I got an Arduino, and it's opened a whole new world. It's the perfect mix of feeling like you want to glue stuff to it, and feeling like you can glue stuff to it. That one device is already full of so much interesting circuitry (with the timers and the uart and little pins waiting to ground them to make stuff happen). But the docs and libraries will guide you through it. It's like training wheels for electrical circuits.
> Don't ISPs like Comcast have access to orders of magnitude fewer users?

Yes, but because it's your ISP and your data it's snooping, it suddenly becomes important.

As they say, one death is a tragedy. A thousand deaths is a statistic.
That is still explained by supply and demand though. A union works by artificially constraining the labor pool, reducing the employer to buying from (typically) one seller (the union) instead of many (each employee individually). Unionized workers are usually able to make more money than they would in a non-unionized market because of that smaller supply of sellers relative to the demand.

However, as a Canadian who saw peak unionization in the mid-80s, long after wages also started stagnating in our country, and a country that still has relatively strong unionization even today (especially compared to the significant decline seen in the USA), I'm not sure that this explanation holds.
Many. There's a lot of network configurations that accidentally use 1.1.1.1, for example for VPN endpoints.

I thought this was a good question and went to try and find out. I grabbed the old source from https://ycombinator.com/arc/arc3.tar and started grepping around, but couldn't find any function to delete comments (only links, which do delete, but don't get purged from the cache it seems). I didn't set up Arc to try and run the thing though.

If anyone has more knowledge, or understands the source better, or has newer code, I'd be interested to know.

The IRS will only tax you on realized gains. Assuming individuals bought BTC (or alt coins or any other asset for that matter), and are still holding it, no taxes will be due until it is sold. If the individual sold their BTC in 2017, then they needed to have set aside a percentage of any profits for tax purposes.

So I'm inclined to agree with antisthenes, this person is either being untruthful or they lack a coherent investment plan and have a spectacularly bad tax planner.

Take one example. US manufacturing has become radically more productive over time:

https://i.imgur.com/exTxW1O.jpg

The primary reason the US lost so many manufacturing jobs since the peak, wasn't China, it was persistent gains in manufacturing productivity.

At the exact same time that is occuring, and while domestic economic growth slows, you import millions of low skill laborers into a declining or stagnant labor demand situation (for that type of labor). What is going to happen? It's obvious: wage suppression due to labor over-supply.

It is simple supply and demand.

Tech workers have gotten to see this up close & personal, as companies from IBM to Microsoft intentionally imported lower cost foreign engineer labor to undercut higher cost domestic engineers.

It's why the Koch brothers are such big fans of unlimited low-skill immigration (and why so many business Republicans love it, that by itself should throw up a red flag), the entire point is to hold wages down and hold down business costs to maximize corporate profitability.

This is also why almost no other developed nation allows unlimited or large amounts low-skill immigration, including Canada. Most developed nations use either a ridiculously strict approach to any immigration (eg Japan, and presently Scandinavia), or specifically operate a skill restricted / merit-based immigration system (eg Canada and Australia).
Oh sweet summer child.

Those messages aren't going to be deleted, they're just going to be hidden. They could be un-unsent as easily as they could be unsent.

If you don't trust your friends not to blackmail you, you can't trust them not to just save every message themselves at the time you send it anyway. Even so, "unsending" messages is a meaningless gesture to security because you have no way to verify that anything has been destroyed. Facebooks track record clearly demonstrates that in the absence of evidence, they definitely aren't destroying the data. This feature will be marginally useful for correcting typos, and that's about it.

> Not for lack of trying

Yes, that's true they did try that. But then again, so did some registrars by hijacking domain names that were not in use. (And sometimes even when they were in use).

But end-to-end encryption took care of that in a pretty definitive manner.

I self-learned enough electronics a few years ago to get to 16.5K karma on the Electronics StackExchange.

I was motivated by doing some audio projects. Projects have real requirements, and so they force you to iterate on the design until you hit all your requirements: power supply logistics, signal purity, enclosure, ...

Get a good textbook like Horowitz The Art of Electronics.

Learn how to use a CAD-based circuit simulator program like LTSpice. Build the circuits you read about in the simulator, and run them: apply signals, and look at how the voltages behave at various nodes in the circuit, as a function of time.

Read schematics.

Read schematics for equipment that you know. If you're into vintage audio, that is not hard to come by.

Recently I was looking at the schematics for a "Furman PQ-3" parametric equalizer (Google for it). I blinked twice and did a "double take" and then immediately recognized that its filter bank consists of "state variable filters": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_variable_filter

Bam! Didn't even know what that was some four, five years ago.

Here is one copy of the schem: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/so-much-gear-so-...

Check out the power supply: the output of the transformer goes to a dual-voltage regulator. That feeds the chips. The unregulated voltage is also tapped and that is used for an emitter-follower output-stage on the upper left.

This is completely pointless. The op-amp IC's have such stages inside them too; why do they get regulated power and this one doesn't? On a dual supply, op-amp chips don't really need regulation.

If I built a clone of the device, I'd completely leave out this discrete component output stage; it is pointless. You're not going to drive speakers with this thing, but relatively high-impedance inputs (the next device in the chain, possibly a power amp).

So you can see what I'm doing here; critically looking at (the electronic aspect of) a complete product. Doing that requires some learning, but it also produces learning bit by bit.

You ask questions: why is that stage here? Why did they include this component? What is this transistor/resistor/diode doing here? Is there a pattern to this, and where have I seen it before? Is it really the same pattern and is it justified in this context? And so on.

I think skeptics of cryptocurrency get too focused on applying cases where their traditional banking systems serve them well, rather than how such systems do not serve marginal actors very well (or at all, for whatever reasons).

Cryptocurrencies don't need to appeal to mass market users who are already happy with what they have.

Appeals to legality (without stating jurisdictions or enforcibility), cries of rampant speculation (without acknowledging how much speculation already occurs in many kinds of markets and financial instruments), doesn't really matter to those who are now enabled to do something in a way that they couldn't before.

People using cryptocurrencies today to engage in various forms of trade valuable to each other, don't care what people on the sidelines think.
If you eat something that even remotely resembles a healthy diet, you probably don't have micro-nutrient problems anyway. You might be obese, but you're getting your vitamins.

I used to wonder if I should take a daily multi-vitamin. For unrelated reasons (weight loss), I started tracking my food intake in MyFitnessPal. MFP reports on calories, macros, and micro-nutrients... and I was shocked to see that my regular, reasonably healthy (I'm not a health food enthusiast, but I don't just eat big macs either) diet gave me way more than 100% of my recommended daily allowance of pretty much all the vitamins and minerals tracked in MFP.
