Curry is anti-inflammatory. There are studies on how the Mediterranean diet helps protect against brain inflammation. They are usually about depression, not Alzheimer's, and they typically claim that consumption of olive oil and fresh fruits and veggies are big factors.

Those might provide clues for you to start your search.

When my dad had Alzheimer's, I think they also gave him a children's aspirin (or possibly some other otc med) daily to help reduce his issues and help keep him more manageable. That might be another thing you could look up.

I recall seeing a remark on HN about Bill Gates, Alzheimer's and walking, though I can't find a citation. I recall someone saying something like "It would be great to be able to tell my mom to walk more because Bill Gates said so."

Walking is something I know to be hugely beneficial to various things. I would absolutely look for research that connects walking and protection against dementia if it were me.

Best.
I doubt the accuracy of what you are saying. Treating certain IP ranges differently would not be net neutral, which is exactly why we have net neutrality: otherwise it's impossible for new entrants in the market to compete. Also, most ISPs don't run CGNAT (except historically notoriously many in Italy, and by now also a few in the USA). And "oodles" sounds like a lot but running a push server doesn't sound like it would require that much disk space. At Google's level, sure, but for your average app... it can easily be run without Google.

The real problem (afaik) is that people change address whenever they change network (so it doesn't all boil down to v4, either), so you need regular keepalives. If every app starts doing keepalives individually, your phone will be using its radio every 30 seconds 24/7 (assuming you have four apps that need push, and those devs want a maximum delay of 2 minutes, and their timers are roughly evenly distributed). By having a single server to keepalive, the issue is avoided.
I've seen reported that it takes about 200 hours of unstructured time together to become "good friends" with someone. Outside of high school and college, I'm not sure where you get that amount of consistent open-ended time with someone. It makes the outlook for building friendships later in life seem bleak.
I've read your post twice, just to be sure I didn't overlook an "/s" marker, a wink emoji or something. It strikes me as a narrow view taken to extreme - entire vision of our country built up from referencing criticisms and verbal sparring. Political horse-trading, and back-and-forth doesn't a nation-state make.

That is neither substantive matter, nor the actual state of the country. Please, have a look around with me; consider multiple factors:

The economy's doing well, the country is not pushing towards Russia - neither economically nor geopolitically; instead we've diversified trade and geopolitics; see the recent adventures with China.
The political process is chugging along as it ought to, there's plurality of voices in the media and it seems to be growing. The political and economic protests & demonstrations are well attended and mostly well behaved.
We've even managed to hold our own against EU's meddling in our internal politics, during recent changes to the judiciary. Oh, and we're one of the very few states in Europe that managed to weather the migrant crisis. Meanwhile we host - no, scratch that, we gainfully employ and well integrate with - a vibrant community of war refugees from our neighbor, the Ukraine.

If there's one thing I still seriously worry about, it's the retirement pension system. Frankly, I plan on avoiding relying on that.

Hey, we've on a better trajectory than our western neighbors, and we've made a few friends along the way. Cheers!
Yes, its new IP adress, they don't like you getting too smart using VPN :)

To bypass that, set up MFA using OTP app, like FreeOTP, that should skip 'unknown device' nagging.
Check the URL for parameters. If you’re coming from a Google search or similar there are generally a boat load of analytics/tracking parameters in the URL. You can eliminate those and you’ll still get the same article.

I’ve seen this too (don’t recall if the was WaPo) I’ve had success with eliminating the obvious analytics junk from the URL and trying again in a fresh incognito session.

It’d be pretty easy to keep a short lived cache server-side of any analytics bearing URL that gets paywalled and use that to paywall any additional request from the same IP that match exactly and comes within a minute or two (even if the browser is cookieless) I’m figuring this is probably what they do, I know it’s how I’d do it if I was tasked with defending against the incognito technique.
No, it’s interpreting “search” to mean “conduct a physical trespass on some property in order to track its wherabouts.” I think it’s at least debatably within the scope of the word “search.”

Interpreting the word “their,” meanwhile, to encompass all third-party data pertaining to “them,” does a lot more violence to the English language.
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but if another comment broke the rules, that doesn't make it ok for you to break them as well.

We don't come close to seeing all the comments on HN, so it's impossible to moderate perfectly, or even consistently.
We do what we can. If you see a bad post escape moderation, the likeliest explanation is that we haven't seen it yet. You can help by flagging it or emailing hn@ycombinator.com.

A "good" (which is subjective) news site isn't guaranteed or prevented by the use of any particular CMS.

A quick Google search shows that many popular news sites are WordPress-powered, including BBC America, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Quartz, TechCrunch, Time, and Variety. Many of these are considered good.
> Mirror life presents potential dangers. For example, a chiral-mirror version of cyanobacteria, which only needs achiral nutrients and light for photosynthesis, could take over Earth's ecosystem due to lack of natural enemies, disturbing the bottom of the food chain by producing mirror versions of the required sugars. Some bacteria can digest L-glucose; exceptions like this would give some rare lifeforms an unanticipated advantage

Does this have "great filter" implications? If it confers such a huge advantage for a prokaryote to have the opposite chirality, then it must be very unlikely for prokaryotes to evolve from scratch, as if it wasn't then something would have evolved to take advantage of this. It means that "the evolution of a simple prokaryote" has definitely only happened once.

When we think about decentralization, we sometime think about uncontrolled extreme decentralization. That's the ideal : no single point of failure, with everyone hosting their data where they want, and deciding who access what about them.

Practically, as pointed in the article, there are laws to comply with and those are IMHO the biggest lock to decentralization.

The fair middle ground between extreme centralization à la Facebook/Twitter and total network anarchy is something based on federation, like emails and Mastodon. With federations, there are several providers for the same end-user application, with native data exchange and interoperability. The idea is to give the power to anyone with hosting capabilities to compete with the Giants, even if only a few domains will actually survive (like Gmail, Hotmail, etc because of network effects and funds, probably).

What we need is a framework, or a backbone, that allows people to easily create new federated-native apps ("dapps") without thinking about consensus issues, protocols versioning, and with native laws compliance.

I subscribe to a few online publications. I know paywalls can be easy to cheat, but I prefer not to. I would love it if news sites would add pay per article, where I could buy 50 articles upfront and use them up over a few months.
He did allude to that (EDIT: that conflict). This is a discussion of the Holocaust and the rise of the right in Europe, not a discussion of world conflicts, wrongs and rights, of which there are too many to list.

Perhaps more relevant is that, sadly enough, there are quite a few Israelis who are semi-supportive of these right wing attitudes in Europe and elsewhere simply due to their feelings that their enemy's enemy is somehow their friend. Similarly some jewish people in Europe who have been facing rising anti-jewish sentiments and rhetoric might even believe the right wing parties will help with that. This is by no means universal but I think it's a bad idea.

In my opinion, this is partly a result of the left-wing biased (or lazy, or idealistic) approach which is helping fuel the fire. Admittedly this is also related to the bubble nature of today's view of reality. It's much easier to people to stay and believe in their bubble than rise to see the whole picture. You can always find anecdotal evidence to support any world view, simply viewing the world through a black and white lens is already a problem. Maybe people who are stressed out tend to do that more often.

Let's also not forget that the European (and American) actions or lack of action recently and over many decades are some of the root causes of the refugee crisis which is fuelling these sentiments. Finally the background of the global economy, crisis, and wealth re-distribution are also a factor. When times are bad everyone is looking for someone to blame.

It's been a while since I posted a longer explanation of what we're doing when we do this, so maybe one would be helpful.

The core issue is the word primarily. It's one thing to occasionally comment on the politicized topics that naturally come up on HN. That's what most users do and it's fine. But there's a different class of account that exists primarily to do this, pushing a political or ideological or national agenda. That is what we don't allow, as the site guidelines are careful to say. We have to draw a line somewhere, in order to prevent flamewars from taking over HN entirely, and experience has shown this 'primarily' test to be the best place to draw it.

The reason we draw the line this way is that there is a bimodal distribution of accounts and the two categories behave differently. People in the first group are motivated by intellectual curiosity, so post on a wide range of things and tend to post curious, factual, open-minded comments. People in the second group are fighting a war. That destroys the curiosity HN exists for. Indeed, that's the first thing it destroys, because the point of political battle is not to curiously meander, but to blast enemies. This site is for curious meandering.

This second type of account often comes armed with pre-existing talking points and links, which can look like contributing to good conversation, and sometimes add good information. But their fixation on an agenda and the intensity with which they seek to destroy other views instead of—let's say—dance with them, make their cumulative effect on HN not just negative but toxic.

Figuring out how to moderate this kind of thing without excluding politics altogether (which is undesirable and impossible anyway) is a challenge, and the observable difference between these two kinds of account turns out to be a useful heuristic. So when we notice an account that shows the telltale signs of being agenda-driven and guideline-breaking, we ask them not to do it. We try to explain why, and we ban them if they don't change.

There's an aspect of this that isn't publicly visible. It's not uncommon for people we've banned for abusing HN in this manner to create new accounts to continue doing it. So sometimes, when we bring this issue up with a new user, we're looking at more of a track record than might appear.

None of the above implies that an account is wrong in its views or that the topic at issue is unimportant. On the contrary, it's almost always very important and legitimately intense. That's actually why we have to moderate these forces on the site-in the literal sense of 'moderate'. Otherwise they would dominate everything, which would turn HN into a very different kind of forum. It would also quickly kill it as a place for thoughtful conversation.

Hello, do you mean will it block websites using https?
I wouldn't say it's a "decline". Most people just don't need an upgrade. You can use a PC from ~7 years ago for most stuff today. Gamers are not the majority here. The best performance boost you get from an older machine is a SSD.
Isn't this rather like suggesting you read anti-vax and vaccination proponents or climate scientists and climate change deniers in order to get a 'balanced' perspective?

I’ll admit to occasionally scrolling through the comments looking for the batshit crazy ones, if only because they tend to be funny and interesting in the totally unexpected way they managed to get offended about something.
that's 3x freaky... sounds serious!
Not suddenly. But certainly a ton of technical people in, say, finance could learn software development fairly quickly.
Fair enough. I personally think that companies for which the choice of technology is gonna be the primary factor to success are as common as unicorns. I have never seen a company fail because they picked the wrong language/tech stack. But hey, if they've measured, they probably know what they are doing.
I worked at the Journal-World for around five years, starting in 2006.

Upper management at the time was interesting. A lot of people who didn't necessarily understand the internet or technology in general, but knew they didn't, and were willing to hire and trust people who did. That was the magic sauce that led to Django, and a lot of the other innovative stuff. The owner of the paper, for example, had his secretary print out his emails and bring them into his office; then he'd write his replies on a manual typewriter, and hand them back to be typed into a computer. But he'd also managed to ride the wave of first the cable TV/internet boom (by setting up a cable division) and then the web boom (by hiring a team of people to build a first-class news site and giving them more or less free reign to do it right).

And that was how you got the heyday of the Journal-World. All sorts of interesting experiments in using the web to enhance journalism, close collaboration between the newsroom and the tech team, and a ton of cool things accomplished and a bunch of industry awards, etc. I actually had a byline at one point, on a feature that's now gone because Django got retired (a data-journalism project tracking the impact of flu during the H1N1 scare).

And other news organizations were happy to pay for the software to do their own version of that. We had both hosted and on-prem versions of it, and recommendations for hiring developers and training them to work on it, and as far as I could tell they seemed pretty happy to have something that had been designed at and by a newspaper (as opposed to other news CMS products, which often have their first encounter with a journalist at the time of production deployment).

But all good things come to an end. There were some management shakeups, and a lot of the tech team (myself included) left for greener pastures. A little while after that, I heard the CMS division was being shut down and everyone in it laid off; then I heard another company had made an offer to acquire it. As far as I know, Ellington (the Django-based news CMS) is still available today as a supported commercial product. But the Journal-World no longer uses it or, to my knowledge, maintains an in-house technology team like it used to.
>A lie requires specific knowledge in the mind of the particular person uttering the sentence.

Can you clarify? Are you saying it is impossible to ascertain the intent of the speaker?

I appreciate the distinction you are making, it is an important one. To lie is to speak a false statement, coupled with the intent to deceive.

What is missing from your assertion is whether we can gage intent and how we do so. Intent is critical to understanding the degree to which we apply a corrective measure. It's the difference between manslaughter and murder.

>OCaml has more than 20 years old and for a beginner to install everything and make a REST API is a pain. Why that happens?

Nowadays things are quite neat with opam/dune/odig stuff. You can install packages, generate readable docs for them, just like in rust. For the rest api you could just take any existing framework, I think, e.g. [1] [2].

You should also consider that OCaml is a language, which for a long time was intended for a different kind of projects (yeah, webdev is not the only programming domain, shocking), so the direction was dictated by Coq and similar project devs rather then webdevs. Now facebook and other companies change the state of affairs.

I don't think there's a conflict between being realistic about the fact that some people will do bad things and the belief that we can still be compassionate toward those people.

Obviously the main problem I'm talking about is more about when you decide a priori that whole groups of people will definitely do bad things and are therefore worthy of bad treatment regardless of whether they have actually done anything, but I think there are lots of police entities out there that carry out their duties professionally and compassionately.
But they can't base insurance premiums off of information that they don't know. They can't just take your word for it that you are in a relationship, because that is too easy to lie about. Buying insurance together is a clear indicator that would take significant effort to game.
The difference is that it's server side. I'm not aware whether the third party server logs my messages, but I am aware when an app has local permissions (you can see it in the permissions overview) to read my notifications.
It's not- as long as there is no gate keeping.

Men and Women are fundamentally different. It's not a stretch to say each group is drawn to different subject matters.
It's a class of folks with a certain perspective. Whether a person chooses to join it at a particular time is their business.

It is the difference between saying you ARE bad, versus you SAID/DID a bad thing. I didn't say the person was one on purpose, perhaps wording not strong enough.

Desktop sales were already declining 7 years ago. A lot of people just don't care to have a desktop PC any more, and when their old computers finally break or stop working, will replace them with laptops or tablets, which can't do the sorts of always-on distributed things that we might hope.

> I immediately realized that is a GCP machine, so I tested the backend server by sending HTTP request to my server to see if it is also on GCP, and it is.

What about the IP address or k8s logo made you realize it was a GCP machine?
If you are OK with reading books, I will recommend Code Complete.
Textualism does not mean there is no room for judicial interpretation. Some text is more open to interpretation than other text. In the 4th amendment, the text makes clear that it is a private right—it protects “their” house, papers, effects, etc. We can argue about what that means (I think metadata is not “yours” because you didn’t produce it, you don’t own it, and you typically don’t even have access to it.) But leaving that aside, whatever defintion of “their” we choose, we must respect that the word creates a textual limit. We can’t go applying the 4th amendment to property that is not “theirs” by appeal to some higher values.

But there is lots of text that is open to interpretation. The framers didn’t say “the government shall make no law regulating speech.” If they did, I’d argue all those First Amendment exceptions were unconstitutional. What they said instead is that the “freedom of speech” “shall not be abridged.” They referenced an existing concept (“freedom of speech”) that was understood to have exceptions and limitations.

Likewise, the 4th amendment prohibits “unreasonable” searches. The 8th amendment prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” The 14th amendment requires “equal protection of the laws.” What are those things? They are ambiguous concepts that courts can define.
>There's a whole bunch of smart people right now who won't go into tech because they can make more elsewhere.

But they can't base insurance premiums off of information that they don't know.

Of course. But as long as they can't form a sufficiently complete picture to make fair decisions -- that is, pricing based on actual risk -- discriminating on easier grounds that are correlated with risk but also happen to be incorrect in many cases isn't fair, so we make laws that stop them doing that.
unfortunately people dont use them. The best replacement would be is if someone made a popular home router that permantently runs an IPFS node or sth.
I seem to recall reading (maybe somewhere in the J docs, though I can't find it now) that some people are more content to rewrite a verb definition than to try and parse it out. That is, if you're refactoring code it's faster to write the thing again but better than it is to do small edits. Since the code is compact, I can see this. Any non-trivial refactoring of a verb is going to replace almost everything anyway.

Definitely a different way of looking at things, and probably something that can only work in such a terse language.
Still there is no cheap and fast wired broadband in some areas of major cities in India. We tried multiple ISP from our area(one of the major city in India) and they all are bad. Sometimes our wifi does not work for multiple days or its too slow. Finally we decided to use only Jio mobile internet.We face the same issue at our office.

I hope Jio fiber change this situation.
