I'm surprised this is getting downvoted.

Eggs seem reasonably healthy, but last time I ate that every morning, my cholesterol readings spiked. Bacon has higher fat, saturated fat, and preservatives than fresh eggs. I would imagine that bacon is worse.

This thread is an exercise in food fashion. What is "healthy" is more about a fashion trend rather than hard science. In any case, the scientifically recommended diets to high-blood pressure patients (what US People suffer most of) is the "DASH" diet. And unlike other fad diets, the "DASH" diet is actually scientifically studied. Bacon is certainly off the Dash diet, since it completely blows up your salt intake for the day.

There has been a demonization of sugar recently, but no doctor has ever recommended to me a low-sugar / glycemic index index diet. It doesn't seem like I'm personally at risk for Diabetes (while I'm high-risk for High-blood pressure). So I'll stick to my doctor's advice for me personally, rather than take some internet opinions.

Probably for the up-to-date version. Not the 20 year old version.
>> Googling revealed no studies or data on the topic.

> Ergo, there must be no articles on the subject, right?

Not at all what I said. In fact, my very next sentence was clearly making a guess, and it was just the opposite of your guess (without evidence, all we can do is guess).

> I would probably start with this one. [link]

That link is to a list of studies, not a single study. Also, they are studies of "crime", which includes things like "arsony" and "homicide", not just "package theft"

Those studies are useless to figure out how likely it is for package thieves to be sociopaths. A study on thieves specifically would be better, but if it made no distinction between violent and non-violent thieves it would also be pretty useless. Package thieves are being very non-violent by stealing packages on porches (hoping to not run into anyone) rather than violent thieves that may walk into homes and rob/kill people.

> It's not that I don't have empathy for a demographic

I didn't say you did, and I'm sorry if you thought I was implying that. I never meant to discuss your empathy. In fact, if you read my comment again, you may notice I'm actually talking about thieves lacking empathy for demographics, and I'm calling that prejudice (not sociopathy/psychopathy).

Unless you have a (good, not shitty) study that demonstrates a clear correlation between package thieves (or non-violent thieves in general) and significantly higher chances of them being sociopaths/psychopaths than normal people, your argument is based on conjecture that such a thing is true. By contrast, my argument relies on package thieves having similar chances of sociopaths/psychopaths to people who society doesn't deem as "theieves" - even if package thieves are a little bit more prone to being sociopaths/psychopaths that most people, my argument still holds because wouldn't be so many sociopathic/psychopathic package thieves that helping some would be a bad idea. You'd need there to be a small percentage of non-sociopathic/psychopathic package thieves to show that there is no point in trying to use empathy with most package thieves

> I cannot “visualise” smells or tastes at all.

I read that this was common and I polled people I knew. Some people can vividly recall many smells, whereas I can do maybe one or two, and only with so much difficulty that I'm not sure if I'm just tricking myself. I don't know if anyone can visualize the _elements_ of smells, though.
Honestly I don't think Diesel error messages are too bad, they're just extremely verbose to a fault. It'd be nice if it could filter out a lot of the duplicate information, or maybe just print spans. Usually when I get a Diesel error message it's of the form: "got <this huge tuple of types>, expected <this huge tuple of types with one of them transposed>." If diesel (or the compiler) could just put a span under the element(s) of a generic tuple that don't match it'd help immensely w/ the vast majority of errors I see from that crate.

Label shuts down after PayPal and credit processors pull out due to DOJ, FDIC
Research water rights, research where water comes from for large cities (sometimes hundreds of miles away, look at Tokyo/Miami/London/Cairo/Beijing/Bangalore/Las Vegas/Mexico City/New York City), look at water scarcity for Africa as a continent, look at the insane groundwater depletion going on for several decades now. As it stands now 14%, and growing, of the world's population suffers from water scarcity. Anything less than 1,700 cubic meters (for referenced an Olympic pool is 2,500) per person of freshwater is considered water scarcity.

Just because there is land, does not mean it's usable or should be used.

Functional real estate remains an extremely finite resource. Land prices will continue to rise, debt amassed for purchasing said land will continue to rise and will sooner or later hit a wall where land is largely only exchanging hands when the owner dies for large parts of the world.
So you can't eat celery?
Many people have little things they obsess on, or at least over-focus on. That's just human nature. If you do something that agitates them, then chalk it off to random bad luck and move on. Everyone has their own code style preferences.

I believe it was Nassim Nicholas Taleb who said that debt has a tendency to "fragilize". If you pay as you go, there are issues, but you can a lot more easily reduce your expenses when you have a reduction in income. If you have debt, it is almost always either impossible or very difficult to reduce your expenses, because debt repayment is almost always requiring monthly payments. This is especially true if you're talking about a weaker debtor (e.g. individual, poor country) and a stronger creditor (bank, rich country).

More debt, means less ability to modify your expenses quickly, which means less ability to respond to changes in your income. This is, in aggregate, a very bad thing.
Never knew about this, but of course it exists! In the digital video tape world, it was common to do backups to tape. The old Flame/Inferno systems would do archives to D1 by laying down all of the video elements including the mattes as video, and then save the actual project code as data afterwards. When played back, it would look like black&white snow/noise. Maybe it was at the beginning, don’t remember exactly. However, at the time, I had just assumed it was just noise, but now wonder if the black&white patterns was the data like a QR code. A blank VHS tape would display static as well, but a blank digital tape would not. That’s what made these archives stand out to me.
True, but people also forget that new infrastructure, when well timed, can accelerate growth and expand the base. New York should know that more than any place. How do we know when to invest in infrastructure? I'd say that the affordable housing and transportation crises we're facing in US cities is the economy screaming at us to build.
I am just objecting to calling these pratices “mundane”.
That is pretty obvious if you consider this is just another tweak of the venerable Skylake architecture. By now we have said good bye to the reasonable thermals we enjoyed for a while because, well, if you deliver six of the same cores that'll consume 50% more at the same clock so one hand you slow down the chip when all cores run and on another, you just allow it to consume more.

It’s interesting that you attribute a difference among sisters to genes. Sisters are similar genetically, but cannot occupy the same social space. They cannot occupy the same material space.

My explanation for the difference you observed is that siblings somewhat have non-overlapping coping strategies. If one gets angry, the other is being yelled at. If one eats more than their share, the other eats less. If one is asking people to leave them alone, the other is being left alone.

This creates major difference in subjective experience and coping strategies just by virtue of being socially juxtaposed.

How would you write a program to use these exploit? Unless I'm mistaken, I'm under the impression you have to talk directly to the processor through the kernel in order to do any of these exploit. You would have to write the code in assembler or use a special library to do predictive branching?

I have an ok IQ and have aphantasia. It makes some questions harder I am pretty sure - I am always second guessing and re-checking because I cannot retain even a small amount of visual information.

I only found out about aphantasia early 2018. I had always suspected there was something different/difficent and went to a university study, and just reaffirmed my IQ and discovered that I reallly get slow on some tasks - I find the answer fast enough but I have a lifetime of distrust on my processes, so just out of habit do double or triple checks (which dont really make better answers, just verify what I am writing is what was meant, I guess). Of course, no one knew about aphantasia at this point.

I failed geometry in jr.high hard. It was almost impossible. But making and passing calculus was relatively easy (long story short: parents moved, lied about passing geometry).

I have mild dyslexia, so I think that mixed with the other just makes it reallly hard.

That's only going to improve the company he's not going to be working at, rewarding them for already failing to do their jobs (who put this guy is an interviewer's position? etc.)

There's something paradoxical about this statement, I'm not sure if it's the way I'm reading it, or even if you intended it that way. But if there was a "failure" here, and I were in that company's HR and Recruiting shoes-I'd probably want to know about it, and surely you would too if it were your company looking to grow and bring in talent to reach goals?

Would you tolerate your staff treating candidates this way?

I'd like to see desktop apps adopt a Spotlight/Alfred/Sublime-type autocompletion UI. Hit some keyboard shortcut and you get a "command palette". By typing, you get command suggestions.

An app could easily display not just matches but also a help screen about each match (not possible with today's menus). Also, text matches could be in categories/tags of commands. Type "select" (or even just "sel") and it'd offer commands related to the category "selection", for example.

Such a UI could easily work as a replacement for a classical menu bar, in that it would be a superset of this functionality (a menu bar is essentially an "unfiltered" match UI, exploded).
Isn't this a bit over-reductionist, such as the people who claim that since all electronic images are represented by 0's and 1's images are just numbers and thus it is silly to ban an illegal image since it is just banning a number?
I can also highly recommend Rhino, especially if you want to try parametric modelling. The Grasshopper plugin (which comes bundled with Rhino) is pretty much the industry gold standard when it comes to parametric modelling and has a massive eco system of third party tools. Both Rhino and Grasshopper are also easy to script in Python or C#
That’s a disappointingly cynical view. It costs basically nothing to give that feedback, and that’s how organisations can improve.

We often see complaints here about how unwilling companies can be to provide feedback to job applicants. I’d definitely encourage applicants to similarly leave feedback for employers they reject, because it improves the system for everybody. And if you are in a position to do so, try to solicit feedback on your recruitment process from applicants too!
Nope, incorrect. Nitrites/Nitrates don't have any good evidence by themselves for being carcinogenic/generally harmful.

However, they can form nitrosomenes when cooked at a high heat alongside protein, aka fried bacon, which are considered carcinogenic (but concentrations vary on how much is actually harmful).

Eat oven baked/microwave bacon every once in a while, and its fine.

There are plenty of people out there peddling much more luke-warm futures than Kurzweil; they just don't become well-known because safe, conservative predictions aren't that interesting.

Fair point, but Japan has a pretty commendable culture of including and enabling people with physical disabilities. I once encountered a large group of Haneda airport employees participating in an exercise where each of them had adopted a different disability (one in a wheelchair, another blindfolded, another with crutches, etc) and the group was methodically navigating every centimeter of the airport with a separate team taking notes.

There are many ways to do many things. That doesn't make it cargo cult programming.

Encoding your claims as a JWT is useful because there are many libraries that work with this, it's a known format (and one that's not tied to any particular transport), and is really good for creating stateless authentication systems using asymmetric keys.

If you're interested in the differences between JWTs and something like OAuth (which really are two different things entirely) then you can visit https://google.com and type in "JWT vs Oauth2". Answers will appear on your screen.
Regulation is certainly needed but we can be certain it won’t be done properly.

More worrying is the fact that for every “benefit” we receive from AI (self driving cars, open source home automation), there are numerous, globally negative consequences such as discriminatory practices based off biased training data. The Chinese executive mistakened for a jaywalker is a clear example of this.

It feels like this is a train that cannot be stopped that will lead to disasterous circumstances.
I didn't compare the list to the 2009 predictions. When you try to see the trend line of what he meant from 2009 on... yeah, the miss rate is pretty abysmal.

In his 2009 predictions, there are 8 that are pretty thoroughly not true today, most of which have to do with medicine. There's another dozen or so that I would also flag as not-true or just-barely-true today. That still leaves about half of the predictions as being true for today.

But the general theme? Yeah, that's a pretty bad miss all around.
