I love what VICE was ~2005-2010. VICE and what it has become today (see: VICELAND) is... nothing what it used to be. I love their documentary style from the 2010 range. The NK documentaries on YouTube were my favorite. They've turned into like you said a buzzfeed-tier garbage.

"Solar panels create mountains of waste, much of it being disassembled by kids in Africa who then get sick because of it."

Source? Electronics associated with solar panels might be an issue but modern inverters use less and less toxic elements (and are definitely RoHS compliant).

As for solar panels themselves, 99% by weight consists of glass (75%), plastics (10%), aluminum (9%) and silicon (5%) which can all be recycled.

>It also takes a lot of commitment and time

It's about half an hour a day, that's all you really need.
True, if you can't spare half an hour, then you've got greater issues.

The latter part of your argument I personally have never ever once experienced, nor have anyone I known experience it outside of the gym at high school. People grunt when exerting effort, everyone wears headphones anyway. And even then, you don't need to go to the gym to lift, calisthenics are perfectly fine for those with no access/no desire to go the gym.
Just curious, do you use any google products?
I recommend reading "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan if you're all interested in the history and details of psychedelics. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36613747-how-to-change-y...

Based my reading of that, what these researchers are doing is not prescribing psychedelics to patients with mental disorders and giving the whole "take one time a day with food". What these researchers are finding is that the drugs can be very effective in a therapeutic setting with a guide (trained therapist or otherwise) to coach and conform the experience to reach a goal. In other words to those familiar with these drugs, set and setting. That is, mindset and surroundings are at least as important as the drug itself to achieving anything. Without that, it's just a drug experience. This is very unique compared to the drugs we're used to.

No medication will ever be a miracle drug, and most drugs show a significant decline in effectiveness once they're out of small trials and methods have standardized. However, any drug or therapy that sees orders of magnitude of improvement over existing drugs and therapies is promising and not worth dismissing simply because of a moral panic from the 60s or the Puritan ideals of our Western culture. Given time and the leeway to experiment, hopefully we will find uses for this class of drugs that have gone shunned for decades for no reason other than someone's moral qualms.
Though history seems to prove him wrong, Tanenbaum wasn't incorrect.

Linux to me is an example of the wrong thing at the right time. Linux embracing Posix and fully supporting Intel gave programmers exactly what they wanted right at the nascency of the dotcom boom. Apache, MySQL and PHP needed a home that wasn't Windows ... and Linux provided that home on the best dollar-for-dollar processors on the planet.

If Motorola or IBM had challenged Intel with cheap, better processors then history might have looked different because Linux wouldn't have been a solution on those platforms.

Linux works well enough I suppose, but the fact that we have this gigantic mess, where we run an OS, and then run a hypervisor on it, and then run more copies of an OS, and then finally get to run our application code, tells me something is quite wrong.

The fact that unikernels are even a thing tells me that people DO feel the pain of monokernels and yearn for something simpler. Securing a monokernel like Linux, even one so open and scrutinized, is really, really hard. There is just so much surface area in the kernel to attack. Everything is so heavyweight.

I think Tannenbaum was right, but he just wasn't enough of a hacker to get things done in time to catch the wave that the dotcom boom created.

To me the dream would be something like Google's new Fuschia OS where everything is capability-based so security is built into the OS concept from the very beginning.

>Money is excellent, but it's (a) less effective in buying happiness than you think

To me, money is how I want to live without fear. I grew up pretty upper middle class but my parents were petrified of the littlest things (putting up the thermostat at 80 instead of 85, staying at a non-terrifying $80 a night motel instead of a terrifying $65 a night one).

We're pretty secure but everyone I knew grew up more "confidently" and now makes more than me.
Unfortunately, DSW generally maxes out at size 13. Otherwise, I agree, and really appreciate how DSW works.

Nordstrom Rack is a pretty great place to shop without asking for someone to "fetch" shoes for you as well, and they tend to have larger sizes and some decent shoes.
I read another article recently (posted on here I think) saying that most of the clinical protocols are borrowed from the rituals and advice of underground new age healer types. These people likely have the most experience in avoiding a bad time.
Thanks for asking! I think this is an important topic that not enough people talk about.

First and foremost I know myself. I've spent a long time figuring out who I am and why. This allows me to set myself up for success. I've lived around the world, and I've had lots of different experiences and friends. Ultimately that led me to understand where I want to be and who I want to share my life with.

I avoid toxic people in my life. I know who will just make me angry and bring me down, and I choose to avoid spending too much time with them, even if they are close family.

My dad took his own life last year, and that led to me seeking help. Know when to seek help. You don't have to go through anything alone. Therapy and support groups have been amazing for my mental health.

Finally, mindfulness. I allow my emotions to move through me freely, but I don't let them take over if I can. I acknowledge them and their purpose, and I know they will pass. Even the darkest, scariest feelings or visions eventually pass (in my case anyway).
Full disclosure I am an Amazon Web Services employee. The thing to realize about Amazon is that employees (at least on the tech side) are shareholders too, and a large amount of our compensation comes in the form of Amazon stock.

Amazon salary isn't that amazing, its pretty average or perhaps a bit below average for a major tech company. As the article mentions Bezos' salary is only $80k. But the value of the stocks that you get as a tech employee is very significant, and you know that their value is only going to increase. This is why Amazon has a strong incentive to grow the stock price, its baked into the culture based on the fact that so many employees get stock as part of their total compensation package.

On the flip side if Bezos was to cause a stock price crash he'd end up with a lot of very unhappy people on the tech side in Amazon Web Services. Amazon would not be "fine" because they'd lose a lot of tech employees or have to hugely increase salaries to make up for the loss of total value. Basically my point here is that the "shareholders" who are benefiting aren't just rich people, they are also middle class tech employees like me, and probably you and most of the people here on Hacker News.

"Bezos makes $40 billion" is an attractive headline, but he wasn't the only one who made money from the growth in Amazon stock price. Lots of employees at Amazon also saw the value of their stock increase, and I don't think any of us want to see that go down.
Well-implemented internal GraphQL APIs, and intelligent caching on the client, are a step in the right direction, separating query optimization from the data needed by the view layer. (Though you could argue that this is wasting cycles to have that level of abstraction, but abstraction can be useful in its own right.) This is still ongoing work; for instance, see https://github.com/tfoxy/graphene-django-optimizer which is in progress as of two days ago, and attempts to do away with the N+1 problem systematically.

But more generally, if you're worried about this, choose to work on projects whose impact on the world (however you want to define it) is greater than the electricity your servers use. And if you're working in that direction, your speed to market is much more important than your electricity cost, or your support of legacy hardware. Design abstractions (ORMs, APIs) so that they can be optimized in the future, imagine that they'll be rewritten at that point in Go or Rust by dedicated teams, but in the meantime, stay laser-focused on your vision. This applies whether you're at the smallish vNext team at Microsoft, or a startup nobody's heard about. It's "performance debt," and it's often the most efficient way to capitalize your initiative.
It's almost like rule 0 of the modern internet. There will almost certainly be many cases in which there are more additional actors willing to pledge tokens stating that [arbitrary person] painted the Mona Lisa than there are additional actors willing to pledge tokens stating that Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa. In fact, given what so far seems like a tiny value in having information be correct, I would guess that the majority of works of art would end up attributed to the wrong artists given enough time.

I know you said your system isn't tracking this specifically, but the general principle remains true in any problem domain. The integrity of a common-consensus system depends entirely on how little trolls care about disrupting it.

Constructivism is subtler than that (the wikipedia intro is misleading).

When an intuitionist says that we can't use the principle of excluded middle, they mean it more like in a functional programming sense: if we have two recipes for a cake, one of which requires a proof of X, and one of which requires a disproof of X, we cannot combine those recipes with a proof of "X or not X" and bake a cake.

Intuitionists noticed that (in a sense that can be formalized), if you do mathematics while "pretending" that the law of excluded middle is doubtful, then all your proofs become constructive. There is a misconception among laymen, who see these mathematicians who are so pretending for a pragmatic purpose, and mistakenly think these mathematicians are so pretending out of philosophical principles. That's never or almost never the case.

I can't speak for Brouwer's "religious" beliefs but what I can say is: if he attempted to teach students "It isn't always true that (P or not P)", without appropriate disclaimers that by saying that he's actually saying something very subtle and precise--then his math department would be obligated to stop him from misleading those students.

>...Nuclear is too late.

Advocates do a disservice when they ignore the realities of capacity factors. As Bill Gates said in an interview: "…They have this statement that the cost of solar photovoltaic is the same as hydrocarbon’s. And that’s one of those misleadingly meaningless statements. What they mean is that at noon in Arizona, the cost of that kilowatt-hour is the same as a hydrocarbon kilowatt-hour. But it doesn’t come at night, it doesn’t come after the sun hasn’t shone, so the fact that in that one moment you reach parity, so what? The reading public, when they see things like that, they underestimate how hard this thing is. So false solutions like divestment or “Oh, it’s easy to do” hurt our ability to fix the problems. Distinguishing a real solution from a false solution is actually very complicated." https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/11/we-need...

Gates is investing in 4th gen nuclear and energy storage companies so he is putting his money where his mouth is.

China is investing a lot of money in solar (maybe more than the US), but they don't pretend that will solve all the problems of producing power and we shouldn't either. China plans to have 1400 GW of nuclear power by 2100, so they also realize that decarbonizing energy production will require a multi-faceted approach.

>"mental frailty...they begin to question everything"

As opposed to blindly "believe everything"? I would say the ability to question everything is evidence of a strong independent adult mind. The ability to just believe everything you are told isn't really "frail" (which I associate with old age and wisdom), but still weak in a childlike sense.

So, precisely the wrong approach would be to block research of any kind by continuing the severe prohibition of these substances.
Sounds like a great idea, but I have some concerns:

- Does it check for fake reviews? I normally use http://fakespot.com to check for review quality before making purchases.

- There's no price or other settings. For example, I put in "headphones" and it gave me $16.99 headphones. If I'm looking for the best sound, this probably isn't the best. Since there's only one option given, there's also no way to choose based on style for example.

- How can I trust that the given product is actually the best, and not some sort of ad?

- What is "popularity"? Will shopfast always go with mainstream brands and ignore less used but potentially better products?

I think most of these could be solved by presenting 3-4 alternatives with different price ranges, etc.
> I’m really worried about the subset of the population with preexisting mental disorders such as manic depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and depression who will suffer a psychotic break from the use of these substances.

I honestly don't think we have the capacity to test existing psychiatric medication to the extent that we can provably demonstrate that over the long term, psychiatric medication + negligence (or simply, variance - controlled lab conditions versus real world) in mental health care is not a direct cause (more nicely, a contributory factor) of psychotic breaks for patients.

So yes, it's a risk, but it's not one that doesn't currently exist with what we do now.
> Olympic athletes are professionals.

They're actually required to be amateurs, but otherwise yeah. :-)
So... does this mean that this statement in the abstract:

"Moreover, a better terminology for the so-called real numbers is "random numbers", as their series of bits are truly random"

is demonstrably false? That there exist real, non-rational numbers with a series of bits that are not truly random?

Well, thinking about this after reading other posts in this thread, perhaps the statement really means that "almost every" real, non-rational number has a series of bits that are truly random, so this isn't a counterexample.
1. This is not an unpopular opinion on HN, quite the opposite, I see comments like this every day
2. Don't attribute a failure of a programmer to the ORM. Tech like ORMs allow more people access to the underlying technology, yes. So there will be more errors like N+1. But that's not the purpose of ORM, just a side effect. The purpose is to speed development for those who have already learned SQL. Can't blame an N+1 error on the ORM unless it somehow prohibits you from addressing such a problem, which no modern ORM does.
Oh, do you mean SWI Prolog? http://www.swi-prolog.org/
The things I mentioned are mainly about experiences. For example, with a 5$ cup of coffee you get a great third place to hang out in an inspiring location, comfortable seat, stable table and wifi: it's not really about the coffee (for me anyways).
Gyms are the most boring place to get exercise. Go out and enjoy nature, I am sure that will double the benefits of getting exercise if its in order to treat depression.
Same for me.

I wonder how much mental health would be improved if people lived and worked close to nature.
I agree, and also think the tools we use shape us (and vice-versa).

It may be a tradeoff between lower standards (e.g. "Can you use an ORM?") and steeper learning curve before someone can produce useful work. The former optimizes for more bodies that meet a certain criteria, the latter may optimize for a higher skill level on average.

There are many other factors that contribute, but it's interesting to think about. (I know, for example, the Navy SEALs lowered their standards a ways back to increase enrollment... and some friends have said it's had a negative impact on the teams, because they have taken some people with behavioral profiles that would never have made it in the past. But they had more missions due to changing nature of warfare, and needed the numbers.)
My approach in life is optimizing for happiness which includes looking after my health, fostering great relationships and working on something I love.

I wrote about happiness here:

I also wrote down a set of rules of my own to follow:
https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/focusing/rules.html

The rules get updated as I learn new things in life.
> That's wrong, compromising one device doesn't give an attacker anything useful

Yea I understand that, but by having a large number of devices with this on it, you increase the chances that any two of them could be compromised. That was my point, I just didn't articulate it well enough.
> I don't want to write all of my backend in C++. I use Java or Python instead. Thousand reasons: maven/pip, portability etc.

Is this really a good excuse with containers being used so frequently?
ah yes, the only way to profit is to sack thousands of faithful employees who helped you launch multiple products.
One reason is that the executives who make the decisions on office locations can easily afford to live nearby. And most of them prefer to live in fashionable areas.
Even if blockchain really just means dressed up encryption, I would never trust a security solution that is built and marketed on lies.
I've been working as a cofounder of a startup and fullstack engineer the last 4 years and have tried a lot of different things to manage mental health.

One important comment I want to make is that even well managed, life is a journey with peaks and valleys. Its part of being human to struggle with this (and occasionally conquer it).

Current habits / beliefs:

1. I've been practicing MBSR (mindfulness meditation) for 40 - 60 minutes 5 days a week for almost 2 years. I cannot stress how powerful I believe the impact of this practice has been for me, nor how challenging it is to develop this habit. The investment is absolutely worth it.

2. I cycle in and out of a ketogenic diet (2 - 3 months on , 2 -3 months off). I lost 40 pounds and got to a very healthy weight in the very first cycle, haven't needed to lose weight since but I believe the diet + the weight have a profound impact on my mood stability and self perception respectively.

3. Connect with people. I'm not sure if its because I enjoy writing software so much or have any natural tendencies toward introversion, but I've gone through periods where I don't do this and there's a good correlation there with my mental health. I'll prioritize activities with friends and families at the same "strict" level as meditation. They can add perspective and meaning to life in ways nothing else can.

Edit: Also in the worst of times I'll turn to "Feeling Good" by David Burns, and finally the plug for if things are really rough professional help is the way to go.
Yes/No. One thing to consider is that while the "Prime" designation helps increase the price, the dry aging process is responsible for a larger part of the vale equation as well. It's likely that nobody is (was? this article is almost 10 years old) dry aging non-prime cuts as a general rule. And dry aging does drastically change the flavor in ways you can't replicate through other techniques.

Also to consider: these are butchers. They sell steaks, roasts, ribs, and other "whole" meat cuts as well. It seems plausible that a large amount of the decision to make burgers was "we have these pieces of wasted, dry-aged prime beef from trimming. We should try and make money somehow..." or "we get better prices when we buy whole carcasses, but people aren't willing to pay for certain prime cuts...but if we grind them up at 50/50 with a steak cut, we can sell them as burger meat!"

As someone who spent over a decade in the restaurant industry, it makes perfect sense that someone would try to do this as a way to turn byproduct into money.

Now, that said, you'll never see me pay the premium price for these burgers, because I don't think they're worth it. But the value of a meal has as much, if not more, to do with the clients than it does the quality of the product offered.

A few things that help keep me sane:

- Exercising (doesn't have to be strenuous, can just be a walk around your neighborhood)

- Writing my thoughts down when I am overwhelmed

- Never trying to keep too much information in my head at once

- Talking with a family member or close friend on the phone

- Avoiding social media and comparing myself to others

- Reading (about anything)

And most importantly is not being hard on myself. As a perfectionist, I have to take a step back sometimes and force myself to gain a different perspective. It's easier said than done but it's important for me to realize this.
> restrictions ... for the protection of health or morals, ... preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, ...
