I mean hunger from a lack of available food, not from eating food that overstimulates your systems (the simple carbs). The solution to this is primarily education (so people make healthy choices), and availability of healthier alternatives.

That said, all of civilization is built on the ready availability of refined carbs brought about by agriculture. This isn't a modern phenomenon. The only modern thing is that suddenly our food production is outstripping population growth for the first time in ever.
Roku to launch subscription video channels business
I've seen this point before but is there much reason to believe this is the case? Unhealthy food is often priced the same or more expensive than other, healthier food, especially when buying large amounts. Where I live, it is much cheaper to buy fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) and raw meat than it is to buy frozen pizzas, chips, take-out food on a regular basis, chocolate, breaded fish sticks, microwave meals etc.

I think another reason could be that people become conditioned to like things that make them feel good and happy, and something that tastes "nice" (i.e the engineered foods made to tap into our love for salt, fat and sugar) is a good relief from the stresses that come from being poor. But I figure this is an unpopular hypothesis because of the subjectivist-individualist ideology in which only the very last step in making a choice is relevant, rather than the reasons leading up to the choice. So we throw subjective preferences out and attempt to decide if buying such food is "rational" or "irrational" at the point of purchase. This economism unfortunately shuts out important details in preference formation.

What about the role of education, advertising, the pressures faced by poor parents in their actions towards their children etc.?
The concept of that movie was really insightful, but the trailer looked kind of terrible. Was there any Ghost In The Shell kind of deep philosophy, or was it just a Hollywood excuse to blow things up and do completely unrealistic action scenes?
Statically typed languages encourage bad programming practices precisely because they make it easier to track type references across many files.

Ideally, types should not traverse too many files; there should be a clear class hierarchy and each level should provide more abstraction. Also it's better to encourage passing simple types like strings, numbers or clones of objects instead of active instances... Because if an instance of a class is referenced in many parts of the code, it's difficult to track which part of the code was responsible for changes made to that instance; also it's harder to maintain your train of thought when traversing many files to debug a simple operation related to a specific instance type.

On a related note, I've noticed at multiple companies that when they force developers to use specific IDEs which make it easy to find stuff, the directory structure of the projects tends to suffer (since existing developers don't rely on the directory structure to find things; so they stop caring about it) - This makes it harder for newcomers to make sense of the code and makes the project totally dependent on the IDE.
To the author: thank you for having the courage to write your predictions, and ignore the haters that are more often than not incapable of doing the same, since it's a lot easier to critique than to create.
I have seven kids. Parents don't have almost complete control over their kids at this age.

>I either ate breakfast and packed a lunch or went the day hungry.

Yes, a lot of kids will actually fast and make themselves ravenous, have blood sugar crashes, be unable to concentrate, act badly towards classmates, etc. rather than eat the food they don't prefer. Some will lose weight. One of mine in particular will fast for _days_ until eventually someone will feed him something sweet. It's a real problem. In his case he'll sometimes eat a dinner one day, then a week later refuse the same food, until we wear him down until he will finally take a bite, then he'll realize he likes it, and eat a full meal. If he is not actually with us, though, we can't force his behavior like that.

This is especially true of kids who are "on the autism spectrum," and I suspect that a lot of HN readers have kids on the spectrum, as I do.

We feed the kids the healthiest food we can at home, almost all the time except for occasional special occasions. But _other_ well-meaning people at churches, schools, playdates, etc. can really screw up the eating habits a parent tries to instill.
I love how he offers the mnemonic http://algorithms.wtf

Bravo, Jeff!
Has anyone had aphantasia onset after antibiotics? Or, a worsening.

I have had poor visualization for years. I do remember being able to see images in my head when younger though. In a fair of detail in some cases.

A few years ago (when I had already lost much visualization) I took a course of antibiotics for MRSA. After that I lost the ability to see colourful visions pre-sleep.

I used to get the most fantastic images in full colour with incredible detail. Then when on the antibiotics they seemed dark. Now I can still have visualizations, but I can't see them. (Meaning, they're happening, and I get glimpses, but I can't continuously view them)

Sort of annoying as they were a good way to fall asleep. Focussing on them hasn't seemed to rebuild the ability.
Not really, if you tax cars at ~100% on registration (eg: $50k car has $50k of tax on it for a total price of $100k), like Norway does, then it is pretty easy to get adoption when you zero rate or reduce that tax for (PH)EVs.

It's effectively an enormous tax credit for EVs. I'm sure of the US govt increased the federal tax credit for EVs from $7.5k to $40-60k, you'd see similar adoption in the US too.

I've tried losing weight and eating healthier and I can always stick to doing it for a while, but always gradually start eating worse and worse again. So I am aware, and have tried, and yet it feels like there's something bigger always pulling me back to eating poorly.

Is it addiction? Is it some biological process (the body wanting to retain its new equilibrium)? Is it the fact that my taste buds tend to prefer the flavors of unhealthy food a majority of the time?

Clearly the problem is bigger than obese people being aware of their obesity and trying (and failing) to change it. There are other forces at play, and I think, difficult ones to overcome.

Separately, why not still try to innovate or do something to reduce the burden obesity places on the healthcare system (regardless of how you feel about the individuals)?
It sounds like another strongly worded letter to the school along with a note/email from a doctor explaining the situation might fix this. I don't think trying once and then saying "Well i guess i cant stop my kid from doing something" is a good idea. As someone who grew up with 0 restrictions on what I ate and when I ate it pains me now to think back on what my parents fed me/allowed me to consume.
Sublime Text is a good example that always gets posts about devs not wanting to pay for a mere $80 for a perpetual license, valid across all supported OSes, in spite of making much more than that per hour in many world regions.
Not a financial expert, but is that really such a difference, and is that what liquidity really means? At the end of the day most short term debt can be converted into longer term debt possibly with some associated cost.

Social security can't go broke, since the notion of social security funds is essentially an accounting mechanism.

To use the terminology of

https://www.reddit.com/r/mmt_economics/comments/7ciwqe/how_d...

if the "social security cookie jar" is empty and taxes marked for social security exceed payments, then it simply turns negative, as able to pay out as it was before.
Average newyorker isn't a driver, dear.
Congestion isn't going to go away in NYC. Mostly because New York wasn't built for this much traffic in the first place... And new bike lanes is a welcome sight in NYC. Based on how much CitiBikes move around the city, you can easily determine that those bike lanes are a welcome change.

But then... I haven't been to a city with a good motor vehicle infrastructure in a long time. Certainly none of the major US cities are designed well to handle even remotely appropriate levels of private motor vehicle use.

PS: I have a car in NYC. Use it for some cases, but would never drive daily in NYC.
What modern machines have no TPM or enclave? I know phones, tablets, laptops and desktops do. FIDO key seems weak, i have a basket of them.
I have lived in both cities but I'm French so probably biased. The transportation system in Paris is overall much better. Denser, more lines, cheaper, and unlike New York it keeps growing. It's also more reliable (even though it has its share of issues).

Nice article.

IQ is actually the best measure yet found to see how well people can succeed in life. There used to be some craze about EQ, but that is actually pseudo-scientific stuff invented and monetized by book authors.

Yet another tool of note for writing CYOA interactive fiction is Twine (http://twinery.org/), which has become a defacto standard of sorts of an interactive narrative writing tool more specifically for hypertext CYOA.

For example of its growing ubiquity, it was admitted that most of the Black Mirror Bandersnatch CYOA episode was written and tested in Twine.

Seattle has bus priority at multiple intersections and it does not cause problems.

At those intersections busses arrive at the curb lane to pickup/dropoff. Then a special light tells the bus driver that it is ok to proceed into the intersection, while all other cars have a red signal. The bus pulls out and leapfrogs traffic.
