I have also wondered about living under water and farming there. However, this made me cringe. I'd like to see less interference/pollution in the ocean, not more. Especially as the owner of a dive shop, I would expect some more reverence for marine life.
> The allostatic load hypothesis posits that SIDS is the result of perinatal cumulative painful, stressful, or traumatic exposures that tax neonatal regulatory systems.

If true, this would mean that babies can literally be "stressed to death". Wow. I wonder what the age is when this begins to taper off.

Also, circumcision for babies and children should be outlawed. All freedoms are subject to limitations, including religious ones.
You can't put it all down to kissing the boss' ass or them being inexperienced. There are plenty of well meaning and talented developers out there pushing code out as if it were on a production line, because they weren't paid for their insight. They don't have the agency to push back. There are plenty of other devs who couldn't care less as long as their salary comes in at the end of the month.

And there are of course those who know exactly what they're doing and they're doing the best they can given their constraints. Isn't it better to assume everyone's doing their best here?

The thing is, you don't know either way so it's just projecting a bunch of mean assumptions upon them. It says more about your perspective on your fellow programmers than it does about the people who did GDPR this way, because your feeling of this being a shit implementation has turned into a judgment on those who did it.
Not next door no, but they are going to have to be in roughly the same region, because power losses over long distance transmission become significant in pretty short order.
I read your blog articles then read more articles on your site. I'm impressed with your writing style and you've inspired to write up some of my own experiences. Thank you very much for sharing.
In the case of female shoppers, the measured purchase patterns were exactly same, regardless of the amount of muscle at the entrance. On the other hand, male shoppers were clearly influenced.“

“This alone provides a valuable marketing insight. Women clearly don’t care that much about the employees’ physical appearance – from a shopping point of view, that is. Men are much more easily swayed.”

To back that assertion, I would want to see the experiment repeated with female sales employees. In that situation, would women shoppers respond in a similar way to attractive and confident female employees as the men did to dominant male employees?
I am not sure how much social status aspects change with sexual orientation. Inter-sex competition over social status clearly has some connection with the ability to attract a mate (like any other species), but the trick of gaining social status through status symbols seems more bound to general culture.
I'm highly suspicious that your first claim is not true for all U.S. pubic schools (or even a sufficiently significant portion). I'm sure it's the case in some States.

2nd case is probably fair, though I think a lot of people, myself included, have has experiences with teachers that definitely didn't pay attention in those seminars if they attended. (And in my case that's just with 1.5 years of middle school)
The editors are operating a full three levels higher (than “responding to tone”) in the hierarchy of disagreement. They’re setting a good example. (Although a bit later than ideal.)
Well I imagine an attempt to ban circumcision would be immediately called anti-Semitic and then it would never happen. And that’s something nobody even wants to be accused of, so there’s less pressure to do this than there otherwise might be.
I would like to hear suggestions as well. Most projects start off with a core idea I think everyone will love but when I start implementing I get the feeling that no one will use/see this and lose interest. The only projects I finish are for myself.
Consider unikernels on VMs with paravirtualized hardware and thin hypervisors. When I boot my servers, hardware that's never used gets initialized. Filesystem code for filesystems that are never mounted is loaded. A whole lot of code that's specific to the CPU and chipset is patched in important execution flows. A unikernel has nothing but the code I want to run.

The fact we got it right most of the time, for most of the hardware combinations we use, does not make it any simpler, faster, or more reliable.

When I mentioned mainframe OSs, I was not talking about hypothetical new OSs but technology that has consistently excelled for decades now.
Not true in the UK, most people apply for their biometric passport online (or by post, which costs more). Adults applying for their first passport may be asked to attend an interview.
>(there's more downtime than you would get from a traditional utility, for sure)

We have an electric coop (Greystone Power), and we have no noticeable additional downtime vs people a few miles down the road who have Georgia Power.

Given that my rates are lower to start with, and I tend to get refunds back each year, I see no advantages to using a traditional power company.
What you've just described also sounds a lot like sleep apnea. Healthy, non-snorers can have it so might be worth doing a quick test.
>Easier hygiene.
We could also cut out all our teeth, so we don't ever get cavities!

The problem with the rest of everything you mentioned is that the effect sizes for those things are tiny. Your chance of getting penis cancer when circumcised is 1 in 10,000,000, and if you don't its 1 in 10,005,223. This sort of tiny effect can just come from confounding variables, like "people who circumcise tend to be Jewish and American so they eat better food and get cancer less in general."
It would be a shame if people cared either way.
*amniotic testosterone levels, apparently, and the ratio is supposedly unaffected by post-birth levels.

"The 2D:4D digit ratio is the ratio of the length of the second (index) finger and the fourth (ring) finger. This ratio is, on average, different in men and women. (Men tend to have longer ring fingers relative to their index fingers, while women’s index fingers are about the same length as, or slightly longer than, their ring fingers.) The idea is that prenatal testosterone levels influence digit ratio."
It was a bit of a cultural shock, coming to USA, and learning that huge population (apart from jewish & muslim) were being circumcised. Years later, when our son was born, it came to me again about this societal "norm", but didn't even think for a second that this needs to be done. I hope the society (apart from cultural/religious observations) changes.
I know plenty of people who support circumcision and exactly zero of them are Jewish. We would see a tremendous pushback on any attempt to ban it regardless of it's association with Judaism.

The author writes an article on privacy, then ends the article by admitting they use Siri. The author almost certainly has no actual proof of how Apple does or doesn't use their information, but instead applies blind faith. The cognitive dissonance must be overwhelming.

I do everything the author does and I also don't use "assistants" on any mobile device or PC. If you're going to write an article about privacy and post it in HN, you should probably back that up with full action, not just convenient action.
Well there is sowmthing to be said for simpler formats, that can be read by basic engineering skills, compared to for example storing something on a flash drive the requires millions of lines of code to read data of.

kind of tired of calling every small cluster a supercomputer. as someone who has been building actual supercomputers (think top 5-10) for over 25 years, it is very frustrating to hear such misinformation.

Aren't the only benefits a slight decrease in STD transmission + easier cleaning of smegma? I think it remains mostly due to status quo bias. I can't imagine the medical community recommending another body modification with only two things that minor in favor of doing it.

Sorry didn't mean you specifically. Just the royal you.
It's actually complicated.

In the 19th and 20th century, scientists debated how evolution and speciation could take place. The Darwinian side said it was purely chance-based mutations combined against selective pressures--natural selection. The Lamarckist school suspected this was statistically unlikely and posited that organisms had the ability to pass down acquired traits. They debated fiercely, and the Darwinists declared victory based on Occam's razor because no mechanism was ever discovered whereby acquired traits could be transmitted.

In the 2000s, the U.S. saw some political controversies in which creationists tried to have their anti-evolutionary religious views included in classroom science. The debates around that issue helped solidify a new dichotomy of science vs. religion when it came to the discussion of evolution. During the same era, the study of epigenetics was becoming popular. Owing perhaps due to the aforementioned political discourse of the era, the public at large has allowed epigenetics to be subsumed into the existing theory of evolution as if it is no change at all. From a different perspective (a la the Lamarckists of centuries past,) it represents the possibility of a diametrically opposed paradigm shift.

In these comments there are already comments dismissing epigenetics matter-of-factly as just a part of natural selection. In the purview of scientific history, it's the opposite of natural selection.

To answer your question, the reality is this is very different than what you were taught in the 90s, except that we've rewritten history for science to save face and pretend we knew this all along, and to forget that this sort of thing was explicitly rejected by the Darwinian victors 100 years ago.
The impression I've gotten from most American parents I've brought up the issue with in the past is that they believed it was more hygienic and better for the health of the child to be circumcised.

Nowadays, being much older and wiser, I've come to understand that to really mean circumcision eliminated the need to regularly clean the child's penis behind the foreskin and educate him on doing so. It simply eliminates the topic entirely.

There was a thread on 4chan.org/b of all places not long ago where a young man photo-documented the first time he had ever cleaned his uncircumcised penis. He claimed his parents never educated him on the subject, and never cleaned behind the foreskin for him. He only just discovered it now, at what appeared to be a quite mature age. The process looked brutal and disgusting, and it took him multiple days of incrementally removing a hardened shell of smegma by picking away at it, leaving a very raw-looking skin behind.

It was quite surprising, and I had never envisioned such an extreme outcome as possible in an uncircumcised boy's life. Some parents are incredibly incompetent when it comes to teaching their kids about anything related to genitalia/sex. Circumcision avoids the issue for those cases, and I assume the incidence of these problems is also higher in religious households where the topic of sex tends to be more suppressed.
There may be a generational thing going on here.

I don't want to play the internet as if it were a video game. I remember the time before the net, and I want a tool that I use to drive my life narrative forward, not a tool that uses me to drain my attention span. After some thought, I really only need plain text for most everything I do -- but heck if anybody is going to serve that up.

I may be an outlier. I don't know. Perhaps people who don't remember the time before the net view their phones and information experience as just another form of video game, just with other real people involved. I'd love to read some more research in this area.
if scaling up were so easy, every country in the world would have made 1000s by now. there is a reason scaling up is hard, hard, hard problem. dont make it sound trivial how difficult building actual supercomputer architectures is.

its easy for anyone who doesnt know the challenges to say - yeah, we will just scale it up using duct tape and straws

Is North Korea really scrapping its nuclear weapons programme?
If we know what k is, we've got an upper bound on the value of the roots. Since we can express p(k) as (k-x_1)(k-x_2)...(k-x_n) (with x_i as roots), we know that each (k-x_i) must be an integer factor of p(k).

Based on these facts, I'd probably just brute force it. Figure out the prime factorization of p(k), then figure out all of the ways to express the x_i.

Note that this does also prove that the algorithm will not uniquely define an expression for p(k). For example, if p(10) = 12, then (x-4)(x-8), (x-7)(x-6), among others, satisfy.

This is mildly interesting to think about as someone who never was a math major but maybe should have been. There are some interesting side bits (for example, disproving uniqueness) but it does feel like there are more "powerful" statements floating around this type of algebra.
>A bulletin in May notes that travelers entering the United States may be added to the Quiet Skies watch list if [they] ... “are possibly affiliated with Watch Listed suspects.”

What a beautiful qualification. Put one person on Quiet Skies, for any reason, legit or not. Now every known contact or associate of that one person becomes of interest to the Quiet Skies program. Every neighbor, even if they don't know the neighbor. Every work colleague, even if the colleague doesn't know that they work with the person. Every vendor. Every vendee.

I dont know, probably notjing. I managed to get up to 300 mbps with clever wan bonding and multiple 4g antenna arrays snd modems, but in the end I use the standard 40 Mbps (single antenna, no bonding) and don't even notice the speed. I wouldn't pay for 1Gbps. It's nice to have if you want to brag to friends but its useless... (Note I live in a village where average speeds are 10Mbps.)
This is what I do as well, and the results are amazing. Another benefit is that with the right dough and temperature, the pizza bakes in two minutes or less.

"the overwhelming majority of independent pizza places still serve this almost exclusively"

The old neighborhood independent ones, sure. But newer developments (that aren't just catering to campus) are seemingly all NY-style.

To be honest I'm probably less annoyed with having the option than I am with that we have our own stuff, so let's celebrate that instead of copying NY and LA and being a purely derivative culture.

If I want NY-style pizza, I'm going to NY. Anything else is a poor imitation.
Tricking people shopping for status items into buying higher priced status items does "collective damage"?

This actually reminds me of one of my sister's stories; one of her college roommates was running late so just put her hair up in a ponytail and made noticeably better tips that night than she usually did at her bartending job so what do you suppose she did as a result of this observation?
Left politics was a big part of the issue of why Rotherham even happened to begin with. It was documented that police and city councils were afraid to go after perpetrators for fear of being seen as racist.

>Some leftist... Alyssa Milano

This isn't about some leftist trying and failing to popularize, it's about nobody even trying to, over the course of 4 years. Just imagine the outrage if the perpetrators had been the EDL, and the victims immigrants.

>Where is the right then? The only thing you get from them regarding those topics is: "burn them!". You may generate attention with that within some closed UKIP facebook group maybe.

This is not suprising, the right has practically no cultural power.

To summarize, the reason I'm mad about the left's, and by extension, the mainstreams, reaction to Rotherham, is that:

a) The left typically deals with this. There's tons of examples of activism in reaction to women being victimized, but for this one case, unlike any of the other ones it's crickets.

b) It would have been a massive deal no one forgot about if the perpetators had been someone in the leftists outgroup (say, the far-right, or the church). These sorts of groups after all, get worse reputations over lesser offenses.

c) If the left doesn't come up with an answer to these issues, then only the far-right does, which dramatically increases their grassroots power, since they're actually responding to reality.

Maybe you should cite your sources because that is a lot of bullshit.

"Among the few alleged benefits of circumcision that are of actual relevance to children, the most prominent is the claim that it protects against urinary tract infections in the first year of life. The degree of relative risk reduction for circumcised boys is most often reported as 10-fold (over a small absolute incidence), based on retrospective data.[22] However, a large prospective cohort study – a more reliable research design – reported a relative risk reduction in hospitalization for UTI of 3.7-fold.[23] Furthermore, in this study, when all outpatient UTIs were considered, the relative risk reduction dropped to 1.73-fold.[23]

To put UTIs into perspective, a study from Sweden, where boys are not circumcised, found that, over the first six years of life, the absolute risk of UTIs in boys was low, at 1.8% versus 6.6% in girls, and that UTI infection in boys was rare after the first year of life (0.1-0.2%).[24] Another investigator found a UTI rate of 0.08% in males >1 year old.[25] When UTIs do occur, they respond rapidly to antibiotic therapy.[26-28] UTIs in the first months of life are less likely to involve the kidneys,[29] and UTIs rarely, if ever, result in hypertension or end-stage kidney disease.[30-37]"

I felt this visiting Ottawa. I was aware of things being in blocks, but never that the blocks themselves were so comparatively huge that you could see why cars are so depended upon. The amount of spread felt impossibly huge yet at the same time, it didn't really lend to a feeling of openness. You were just dealing with wider roads and taller buildings.

Compare it to my later years in Barcelona, which has a grid of its own, and those are much smaller. You can still walk the breadth of the city in just over 90 minutes or so; cycling it in much less.
We all make those trade offs every day. You're likely making convenient choices that compromise your privacy every day too. Do you pay with cash for everything? Do you appear in public without your face covered? Do you drive a car?
