One of the things I've noticed about Japan (and Taiwan also) is the seemingly lack of the feeling of cringiness. These same photos taken of Americans would be nearly universally laughed at, and I have a suspicion that the feeling of cringe and embarrassment prohibits a lot of would be great artists in the west from developing their talent.
Not really as low-carb diets are done mostly by people who do IF. Not all carbs are not evil! We've evolved to digest milk in adulthood and take advantage of slow carbs. The bad carbs are the refined ones - we haven't had much of these in the past. Low-carb diets are especially unsuited for women. If you look at people who lived healthy and long lives, they weren't gulping on coconut oil and refined MCT oils. Anyway, I don't think empty sugar calories are much different than empty fat calories. Carbs bring more nutrients than fats like coconut, for example. Nobody also cares on the microbiota effect of fat overload! Again, if you have epilepsy or schizophrenia, okay, no doubt, keto is great as therapy, but is it great for just anybody and does it lead to a long healthy life? There are no data to support such a statement!
On the contrary, all anecdotal data points that moderation is the best strategy. Oh, wait - 6 meals a day is also a modern brainfart - people used to eat 1-2 times a day with no snacking! So, enough fad diets with no scientific proof behind them! The only thing that makes sense today is backed by research - maintain mitochondrial QC, cycle mito fusion with fission - all chronic diseases pretty much are caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, and I don't think keto supports that strategy well!
This looks cool - is there anything about accessibility testing - how well it works with screen readers for example? I couldn't see anything in the docs.

Ask HN: Real Life Examples of “Burn the Ships”?
In management & startup advises, one of the repeated mantra is "Burn the ships", i.e. remove alternative and focus on singular goal with all might. Example given to support these claims are usually centuries old. But are there current world example of someone doing the same and succeeding ?
Zapier is pretty cool, but every time I mess around with it, I end up being held back by only being able to use two-step apps. $20 a month is too much for just messing around with some personal stuff unfortunately.

If I was an interviewer I wouldn't like this response for most jobs, although it would be fine for a small subset of jobs. The overlap of two rectangles is an easy question with an easy answer and a long, more complicated answer would indicate that the interviewee missed social queues about what is expected in the answer and may be a difficult person to work with.

Scientists predict a 'dark matter hurricane' will collide with the Earth
I’m pretty convinced that as the realization that most work is meaningless, combined with concepts like basic income, employers will need to provide more-and-more incentives to get motivated workers.

Maybe they should study how trash men, sewer cleaners and other “undesirable” jobs are staffed?

I had a look at it in a previous workplace. For the volumes of data that we were looking at it came to a lot more than that. I Built an equivalent app to join two services in a couple of days.
There was the 'netflix challenge'.

They published a pseudonymous list of (User, movie, rating), triplets and two lists of (User, movie) tuples. The idea was that people could train a model to predict the ratings that correspond to the two lists of (User, movie) tuples.

You could hand in a guess every day, and would get back data a score on the first list of (User, movie) ratings. In the end, whoever got the best score on the second list got $1,000,000.

It was a really interesting challenge, and some good research came of it, but it turned out that it was pretty easy to de-anonymize users by correlating to e.g. IMDB watch lists.

Under basic income, you _always_ come out ahead when you work. you can take a dollar, or you can have a 2 dollar tax cut.

I've never personally been in the position, but i've met quite a few folks that refuse to take a job, because it screws up their benefits.

BI is not a panacea. There are folks out there that can copyedit 30 hours one week and none the next. There are employers who would love the extra occasional help. Unfortunately taking that job nullifies disability - even though they can't work a large fraction of the year.

Before widespread access to computers it made sense to just take the loss on those edge cases. There's really no excuse any more. I know a handful of examples may not be convincing, but i'd argue the existence of even one person means the big picture is pretty screwed up.

BI, again, might not be the answer. Sharp cliffs, creating situations where willing people are screwed over when they want to work is stupid. BI is a pretty obvious easy patch for those weird islands we've created in our current byzantine rule systems.

If someone starting a business works many hours themselves for $2/hour, and asks their spouse/children to chip in, and calls in favors from family and friends to get things going - then that's bootstrapping on cheap labor, but nobody in their right mind would call that 'slavery'. When starting a business when you have nothing, you have to be frugal, yet you can't do everything alone - that doesn't mean all ways you can get work done at below-market rates are sleazy or immoral.

Unions/strikes were the way to counter this trend. But where are they nowadays? People are too busy too, and very well entertained. Also there is a huge compensation diff between well-paid and low-paid workers, larger than it use to be, this ensures that the more "resourceful" well-paid workers (often freelance) are not compelled to strike/unionize.
We know that driving kills a lot of people. I essentially consider that common knowledge. But it is not 'common knowledge' to me that this is due to speeding.

To teach programming, many universities structure their courses "bottom-up":

1. Intro: learning how to implement an algorithm

2. Algorithms+datastructures: learning about existing algorithms/datastructures and how to design your own, reasoning about complexity

3. Program design: how to write larger programs (OO, compiler construction, distributed algorithms, etc.)

4. Managing the development process: project management,...

Those interview questions are highly annoying because they only cover levels 1+2. Other important technical skills (able to quickly understand code written by others, how to organize programs, etc.) are not tested. The questions are also rather insulting if the candidate has already several years of experience because they suppose that the candidate is still stuck at those lower levels.

But even if the goal is to test those lower levels, the questions are highly ineffective. Many of them do not test skills, they test your memory. You either have already heard about the cycle-detection question or you haven't. I am surrounded here by very smart people and I doubt that anyone of them would be able to find the answer to that question by themselves in a few minutes.

* The following rant is slightly off-topic:

However, I have to say that I am encountering more and more people like the person who posted here yesterday: People who have been programmers for several years and who admit that they have problems with loops and simple datastructures. In my opinion, if you have problems with those levels 1+2, you should not even think about the other levels. Many problems that we have for example in performance and cybersecurity are caused by the fact that most programmers simply don't know what they are doing. If you have problems with loops, you will not understand what a buffer overflow is. If you don't know what pointers are and how main memory works, you will not understand why your program is slow. And I am saying this as somebody who hates low-level languages like C (although I am quite good at them).

I know that this is currently a highly unpopular opinion among certain teachers who are pushing for a "softer" introduction to programming (with a lot of GUI designing and project management right from the beginning) and I have some sympathy for their position (students should not get the impression that CS is only about programming). But at some point you have to learn how a computer works, otherwise you will copy-paste from stackoverflow for the rest of your life.

Highway official draft plan to fix I-81 for $2B paid by road tolls
By this sample residential construction schedule for a 6,000 sq-ft custom home[1], it looks like they've theoretically managed to cut a 9-day job down to 3 without addressing the negotiation of foundation imperfections, plumbing, electrical, rebar reinforcement, air gaps, structural arches, and random site obstructions to name a few. Cool tech and surely a step in the right direction, but if we're still talking about affordable (patented, proprietary blocks?), sustainable (mortar substitute reliability?) housing that meets code, color me unconvinced.

Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger AG: In times of digitalization, high demand for affordable housing and the prevailing shortage of skilled workers, the construction industry is facing major challenges.[2]

Wouldn't this benefit the construction company, since it brings costs down? (i.e. wages, insurance etc
The alternative is trying to get cheap workers from abroad, which worked quite well in the past and still seems to do well to some extent - if you can accept all the challenges this way of doing business carries along on social/security/national level.

Times are changing, though, and absolute poverty is thankfully not everywhere an issue anymore, which leaves it to relative poverty: I can't afford Netflix => I am poor. In such cases, people are much less likely to do that "shitty not-well-paid job" for long. Selling drugs is much more convenient and profitable, for example. Also, more and more countries are restricting their borders, making it harder for cheap workers from abroad to come and do such jobs.

So, yes, the other alternative is: raise the salary!
Yup, that will clearly never work. eye roll

The regulations do not handle reliability, only registration of detected failures.

Most building methods that are not known to fail catastrophically are allowed. (Including among others fires, water handling, short term structural collapse and invalid administration as well as cheating on plan vs implementation.)

So it is mostly bureaucracy.
Well, there is a way to have them on the stack even with PImpl: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm

While I'm arguing against them doing it in my comment, I do think it's a perfectly good long term strategy economically.

Experience suggests to me that the standard of service at which customers will stop buying a product is very low, so long as it's cheap.

A hundred years ago grocers thought that self-service supermarkets were too customer-unfriendly to last. That seems to have stood the test of time just fine.

Buying a business class fare on a plane absolves you of almost all the unpleasantness of an airport, yet fewer than 5% of people, eyeballing it, take the airlines up on that.

There are literally millions of small 1-2 people business that make less than 10k in profits.

I mean sure, they could go and probably afford to waste $200 extra on something random that will be useless to them most of the time, but that money is going straight out of their paycheck.

You don't remain profitable though by repeatedly making bad decisions like that. Which was my point.

Running a (small) profitable business is about making the right decisions consistently, and if you're likely to waste money on one thing, you're also likely to waste it on the 19 other similar things.

Maybe speak to literally anyone you know who is running a small businesses if you want to know more. Yes that includes your local small stores on your street.

At the end of the day you probably pissed off quite a few people on here when you called their livelihood a hobby project.

Yes, it would, but it will not solve the actual problem of availability and affordability.

The construction company has little incentive to drop costs by much.

As for prefabs, they are already widely used. What do you think those bricks are, or the big chunks of concrete used for roofs?
Or perhaps the components used for balconies?

If you mean to make even more complex patterns, the trouble becomes applicability. Not everyone wants to live in the exactly identical house and most deployments have a quirk or few to adapt.

> Header files absolutely are a hassle to keep up to date.

This happens because there is some redundancy between the header file and the source. You can often arrange your code so that there is no redundancy (or almost zero).
Yup - this line of reasoning is also expressed by Dr. Hall, in the slide here [1]. To answer your question, the study specifically states: "On average, body weight changed by less than 1 kg during the test phase, with no significant difference by diet group in either the intention-to-treat (P=0.43) or per protocol (P=0.19) analysis."

It is interesting that the study authors highlight the higher energy expenditure as an advantage for weight loss, but do not seem to directly address that they did not observe this advantage during the 20 week study period.

Facebook’s downfall does not necessarily have to come from “lower user engagement”. Think about the context that FB operates in.

Imagine more and more governments reading more and more stories about how this powerful platform is influencing elections, allowing hate speech, spreading lies and even causing genocides. You don’t have to have a too big imagination to see what they will do next.

Not to mention the influence of all these awful stories on how end users feel when they go on the site. Smoking, too, has many “daily active users”.

A crisis for Facebook surely can start with media narrative. “Growth solves all problems” is only for early-stage startups, not for social networks used by 1 in 4 humans.

Related to this: customers need to pay more.

Many businesses have very small profit margins, so paying staff more or training staff could turn them unprofitable.

When you're buying products cheaply it's likely that somebody (or someone's environment) is paying a price for it. Once you bear that in mind there is such a thing as products being uncomfortably cheap.

(I live in Norway where nothing is cheap but almost everyone earns a good wage. The result is that people don't buy so much stuff but lead good lives.)
