I'm not sure whether you're trying to make a link between Europeans being able to digest milk and milk from Jersey cows somehow being more healthy than that of "European" cows, but I think that'd be nonsense.

The channel islands are essentially part of Europe, and I doubt that inhabitants of Jersey somehow have a different level of milk tolerance that'd cause them to selectively breed cattle with the A2 variant of the protein. It's more likely that the variation is due to random chance amplified by breeding many cows starting with only a few ancestors.
Reading the Editors' picks there vs. the Readers' picks is amusing.

I could probably do without Ulysses or The Great Gatsby from the Editors list, but 4x Ayn Rand, 3x L. Ron Hubbard? 1984 is probably the only truly great book on the Readers' list, although Tolkien and To Kill a Mockingbird belong on a top-100 list.
The idea that it is nonsense to be avoiding gluten is harmful for people with celiac. I understand you are referring to the dietary fad, but some people have legitimate medical need to strictly avoid gluten.

It is possible that non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a real condition which merely has not been adequately researched yet. If it is real, it is a disservice to mock and be so opposed to people trying to conduct an elimination diet to discover their food intolerance.

As someone with celiac, the more people avoid gluten, the better for me, so I am biased. Currently the world is swimming in it and it’s very difficult to avoid.

There was no such general policy, the thing you link talks about the tension between the desire for centralized (typically Russian) control and the Marxist ideological demands of 'internationalism'.

Agreed, I'd rather have a few simple constructs, especially if they compose.

Still, there's value in unification and generality, at least when the result is simple, even if that covers only 80% of cases.

For example you generally run a lot more composable tasks than actual threads and syncs. You get a general, and powerful abstraction for the general case yet threads are still there for more exotic needs.
Dodge seemed to have the bulk of LE business with the Charger after ford quit building the Crown Vic from about 2008ish until the last few years. Most of the Police Departments around here went with the Charger, but now almost all of them seem to be moving to the Explorer. One of the reasons that was cited at a city council meeting was that the Explorer had a lower TCO, especially when it came to maintenance packages, and repair costs.

I'm not sure if that is the general trend everywhere or just here. Because living in a smaller city 30k in the city, 70k total in a fairly large land area county. A SUV seems like it might be more versatile in a more rural setting.
There was no "tension". Formal internationalism was quite effectively replaced with persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, including suppression of languages and education. Internationalists were some groups like Makhno's anarchists. Stalin was the complete opposite.

But I think I'm wasting my time here. If you want to deny historic facts, do it elsewhere.
Wristband detects drink spiking
This is 100% the right answer.

If someone rents a car and then parks it on the sidewalk, the renter (not the rental company) gets the ticket.

Why should scooters be different? If scooters start getting tickets for being parked in stupid places, then those tickets will get passed on to the riders, and they will stop it. If riders get tickets for riding on the sidewalk, they will stop it. Etc.

The existing laws are sufficient to cover this situation, they just need to be enforced.
Indeed, I also bike commute, and when I get onto the sidewalk for any reason, I slow down to a walking pace. I'm also ready to hop off my bike and walk it, so that I am a pedestrian. This seems easier for other pedestrians to deal with.
returned my mbp 2016 for a number of reasons, and... was mixed on keyboard and trackpad.

keyboard - generally liked the feel more than the previous 2015 model, but... it was louder. noticeably louder, even if I tried to type lighter. Definitely created some friction in situations where none existed before. And... MBP2016 trackpad size - just was too large for my liking. I knew of no one demanding a larger trackpad, but know of many people (myself included) who had some issues with the larger trackpad (stray palm issues, etc). The few people I know who liked or wanted a larger trackpad used an external one, which had the bonus (for them) of being movable.

Electric scooters go the same speed range of 10-25mph. All of these relatively new electric mini-vehicles go as fast or faster than a bicycle.

For stability reasons the sweet spot is about 10-15mph, which is the speed of a typical bicycle rider. Bike riders should see them as allies in getting better bike infrastructure, because they are pretty much equivalent.
The usual assumption seems to be that it was 100% black.

Fundamentally, a lynching is just a fancy way to refer to mob justice. People get frustrated with the slow and methodical justice system. Rules of evidence can and do let many perpetrators free, and people are well aware of this. There is disagreement over what constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment", and plenty of anger when punishment seems insufficient for the crime. Frustrated angry people tend to take matters into their own hands.

This is something to think about when considering making punishment less severe or easier to avoid. There is a point at which ordinary people won't stand for it. Our justice system largely exists to appease angry people who would otherwise dish out their own idea of justice.

Your first link doesn't mention A1/A2 at all, and the second says "The A1 protein is much less prevalent in milk from Jersey, Guernsey, and most Asian and African cow breeds, where, instead, the A2 protein predominates." which doesn't support your claim that they only produce A2.

I think there many people who think that gluten is evil but seitan is an amazing vegan food with wondrous health benefits. Given how the placebo effect works, it’s entirely possible that both are true in a bizarre sense :)

My personal belief is that a lot of “gluten intolerant” people derive considerable benefit from a low-gluten diet because many low-gluten diets have less starch.

(Hint: look up what seitan is.)
Letting Russia and China fill that gap is in-line with the "good guy" position that The West likes to market itself as. It would also be much easier to draw the battle lines and get the population on board with a war when this distinction actually exists.

If The West continues to do the stuff that the bad guys do and use the reason "well, if we didn't do it they would" then what's the difference between The West and the bad guys?

That rationale you've proposed as akin to admitting that the Russians and Chinese are right.

As someone already said, it's a slippery slope to evil.
You might want to consider that this exact thread of questioning does not deviate at all from the similar line that was used to defend `goto` against structured programming. I’m not saying that you’re wrong or that this is necessarily the same thing, but the author addresses these kinds of questions through analogy to the `goto` debate in the article. It’s worth thinking about their similarity.

TL;DR, this doesn’t add expressive power (in fact, it removes it). The author argues that the power removed is power that is unnecessary, dangerous, and inhibits the ability to infer higher-level invariants about your programs that can improve understandability while potentially enabling even better abstractions. Even more briefly: restrictions make your code better.

Clarification for those who haven't read the article: By "glutenizing" here, 8077628 is not referring to some physical process performed on the protein; rather he means demonizing it. By "gluten-free" milk, he does not mean milk that is actually gluten-free, but rather milk that lacks this particular protein, and thus has a property that is socially analogous to that of being gluten-free.

The more recent research -- by the people who originally studied NCGS -- is that the earlier studies may have been detecting sensitivity to other things, and that NCGS may not exist at all.
I'm not sure the grid is the problem. More like the number of vehicles that want to get from point A to point B.

Their profit margins are huge, though.

I bought an electric scooter for $300 (Segway ES1). It costs near nothing to charge.

These scooters make back their money in a mere 40 hours of use. A 1 week car rental would have to cost $35,000 to have the same profit margin.

"I am not specifically familiar with the 35%+ numbers, "

This is confusing to me

Last sentence of second paragraph of your paper:

"We show that Delta Pointers are effective in detecting arbitrary
buffer overflows and, at 35% overhead on SPEC, offer much better
performance than competing solutions."

:)

"
This only covers metadata management and is not useful on its own, so you need to implement some kind of defense on top of this which is usually costly. The hardware support used by HWAsan only removes masking overhead by having the (ARM) hardware ignore the upper byte of the pointer, which is a nice way to not having to pay for masking."

I'm aware :)
There are thoughts and plans here.
Yes, this is definitely a big part of it. HN used to be super into cryptos, when it was more about the technology (pre-2017, or even pre-2013). That being said, the pendulum has pretty clearly swung too far the other way here.

The pretty obvious reality is that smart contracts and cryptocurrencies are truly interesting and novel technology. Does that mean they're good investments? No. Are they going to take over the world? Maybe, maybe not. But they're definitely 'cool', in the technological/hacker sense. They're cool in the way the internet was cool - they enable a fundamentally novel form of human interaction. It remains to be seen if that form of interaction will be economically meaningful. But the novelty and possibility of it is definitely interesting, and anyone who says otherwise either doesn't get it, or has been jaded by the scams. An understandable response to all the greed and general chicanery of course, but the reality is still that this stuff is actually pretty cool tech, even if you never use it to buy a latte.
> Yes, it definitely is. The reduction of four strokes to one at the bottom for the character for "horse" is a perfect example of how the simplified form proposed by the Chinese state merely copied the rapid way of writing the traditional character.

Again, we're talking about mutual legibility. You can scan through traditional sloppily written chinese because there are still subtle cues that you're used to. With simplified there is none of that, as well as the upper part of the character being just a straight line when it was a vertical line with two lines crossing it. If you scribble something there you still make things vertical and a bit bumpy to suggest the original shape.

Traditional is legible sometimes, as not all characters have changed and some changes aren't important. Take the symbol for country. That is completely puzzling.

You seem to be arguing from how you think things work logically. However simplified is very difficult to figure out from traditional sometimes, no matter how you slice it.

I don't understand how your post relates to the article. I agree that the whole A2 thing is lacking evidence, but just because some people are buying the product for bad reasons (e.g. virtue or affluence signalling) doesn't mean it's all bad.

As I understand it, some cows produce milk with A1 protein and some cows produce milk with A2 protein. In normal milk these two types get mixed together indiscriminately. The A2 product is simply a matter of identifying the A2 cows and only using their milk.

Most people are not gluten intolerant. But a few people are. A nice side-effect of the gluten-free bullshit is that these legitimate sufferers have many more food options available to them in shops and cafes.

I sometimes order a gluten free brownie because it looks delicious. And sometimes I walk up the ramp that was intended for wheelchairs.

"I'm sorry that this issue leads you to attack me personnally, twice now."

So you don't see what you did, repeatedly, as simultaneously offensive and personally attacking literally everyone who holds an opposing view. Yet you clearly understood that what i did was.

That's super-interesting.

Because what you wrote, twice now, definitely was perceived, as an attack (the only people i can imagine seeing otherwise are those who fervently support your view).

Neither of these were different.

Even here, instead of saying "hey, i wasn't trying to be offensive, let's step back and try to understand things", you've passively-aggressively "apologized" (IE not a real apology), another form of attacking folks.

FWIW: I don't actually have a strong opinion, i'm just opposed to the attacks you've made here, repeatedly.

When you approach problems this way, no one is even going to bother to read or listen to what you have to say.
