I never understood the appeal behind them in the first place, so take my opinion with that bias in mind.

I think that a user-adaptive program to procedurally generate a weekly meal plan, break that down into a unified grocery shopping list, and maybe even forward said list to the picker services that some grocery stores are running now, would remove every last speck of competitive advantage the mail order kits have. Instead of getting a dinner-in-a-box delivered to your door every day, you can park in a pickup spot at the grocery, pop the trunk/hatch, get your order, and take it home. Every night, your phone can alert you when to start dinner, what foods you'll need, and pull up a recipe card or checklist if you need it.

If you know how to make tacos, and like to eat them every Tuesday, you'll get taco ingredients on your grocery list every week, and will likely get frequent suggestions for recipes that also contain cilantro, chiles, lime, tomatoes, sour cream, and green onions, to use up the leftovers. Cilantro-lime chicken. Pad Thai. Crunchy ramen salad. The most efficient meals divide your grocery store haul across multiple meals, so you don't end up eating a whole head of lettuce in one sitting, but can eat a little in every meal for which lettuce makes sense, until it's gone--ideally the night before you pick up your next load of groceries.

But the biggest advantage is that I wouldn't have to think about food until it's exactly the time I need to deal with it. There're no tedious exchanges like: "Whaddya wanna eat? Dunno; whaddyou want? Don't care. Pizza? No, not that. Mexican? Nah. Sushi? Yyyyeah... okay. Sakura or Honada? I thought we weren't going to Sakura any more? Oh yeah." &c. &c. &c.

Remember when Mom and/or Dad said "We're having meatloaf and Brussels sprouts tonight. Siddown, shaddap, and eat."? That was easy. All you had to do was show up. It even worked okay after Mom/Dad got sick of your kid complaints and said, "Fine. You make dinner, and I'll unload the dishwasher." The menu was already planned, and the food ready to cook. So a program that would select a partially randomized meal, composed of stuff that I already told it I like, and can cook, would eliminate a lot of time wasted on thinking about food. The mail-order services do that, but they're not the only ones who can do that.

"The field of view (FoV) is the extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment."

FOV is better characterized by a 2-dimensional measurement, like square degrees, or steradians, than a single 1-dimensional measurement, like diagonal angle. "2x improvement" sounds like a perfectly valid way to describe a 2.4x increase in FOV area to me.
I get where you're coming for (you want to draw conclusions for yourself, not for a whole population), but I don't think that is as you paint it.

You are not a good observer of yourself. You have biases and subjectivity when "measuring" yourself, so that makes your own "measurements" of yourself unreliable. Furthermore, there are certain observations you cannot even make. For obvious reasons, you cannot even do something so simple as estimating the effect on life expectancy :).

There's also confusion between when a product is being reviewed, or a seller. Buyers often leave a bad review meant for a seller to the product itself.

So, a good product, with multiple sellers, might get dinged due to one bad seller.

Or, one bad seller out of four sellers is shipping counterfeits. Because of commingling, all sellers and the product get tarnished.
But not as likely to be a security vulnerability since it's strictly USB. Hmm, well it depends very much on the probably very horrible USB driver..
Although PiHole doesn't need a huge amount of power, it does need seem to need more resources than the average router has, unfortunately - it has components written in PHP, at least if you want the web frontend, and runs some SQlite DBs which might not work well unless your router has some "real" storage attached to it. It's also a pain to get working unless you give it its own local IP address. While it might work, it would be kind of defeating the point of it being "plug and play".

If you have any kind of local server running "proper" Linux (not necessarily a pi) it's pretty easy to run pihole on it though - there's a docker image or you can fire up your favourite other Debian-based VM/container image and install using a shell script.
I would much prefer them to stay small, tight, and focused.
I had the pleasure of working with a girl who referred to 'ethernet cables' as 'server cables' as that was the functionality provided by ethernet, the wifi on her Macbook meant the internet was always on but lacked 'server access', hence the name of the 'ethernet cable' as a 'server cable'.

In this spirit I think that 'USB 4' really needs to be 'USB 4G'. Then you can have phones and the connectors use the same number. My former workmate would understand it. A '4G' cable for a '4G' mobile phone signal, that would be simple and the least techie people could understand it whilst people on HN faceplant in perpetuity.

USB '5G' would be along with '5G' phones. Everyone could be happy and cables could be fairly random, just try a selection until you get one that works, the clue being that cheaper ones for power adaptors don't let you connect your '5G port' on your computer to your screen or move data to your phone, much like mini USB now. Who reads labels anyway?
Except that you better plant the right kind of trees. Trees are dying all over the world because the band at which they can survive is moving many miles a year, so whatever tree planting we do must happen in a very short amount of time otherwise we will end up with dead trees and fire hazard.

Except that animals are simply NOT adapting fast enough and more than 60% of animals and a possibly higher percentage of bugs has disappeared in 30 years.

So, unfortunately, the natural world is not adapting and evolving. Things are just dying.

Imagine you see a wall in front of you. If you crawl towards that wall (like the world would do naturally) it won't hurt that much hitting it. If you fly a jet airplane into that wall (like we are doing) you will likely die in a fiery crash. Natural world = crawl like baby, Human Climate Change = fly jet.

The RATE of change is what's the problem here.

I think frozen meals will make comeback.

I'm thinking about non-cooked frozen meals , which you'll cook at home in some one-click cooking gadget , like an instant-pot or a smart combi-oven, or maybe some basic cooking robot[1].

That way you could get high quality, high-convenience at a cheaper price.

[1]you get pre-cut ingredients.

You put each ingredient in a bin at your home cooking machine.

The machine adds each ingredient to a pot at the right time, and mixes when needed and controls the heat.
I do not use GraphQL, so I don't have a strong opinion here, but the answer is that there is no standard REST/JSON API. There is actually a GraphQL specification that can be used to introspect the features of the API. This may not be enough to convince, but I think the introspection of REST/JSON API's are usually not as good as GraphQL or even SOAP.
One way to look at the article is not everyone realizes that there isn't anything stopping people in some whitespace ignoring places like Markdown (or HTML or LaTeX etc) from writing prose more like poetry with linefeeds at clause level and other visually interesting places rather than just at paragraph level or at some technically simple compromise like 72-character word wrapping.

Which is sort of the reverse inference from the one you are presuming. ("I want to format this text, so I'll use tools" versus more in this case "I'm using tools to format this text anyway, maybe I'll flow it like I want in its raw source form to be what looks interesting / dynamic / poetic.")
"Straits" refers to the "Straits Settlements" of the British East India Company East India Company which comprised Penang, and Malacca in present day Malaysia and also present day Singapore.

That's great advice, but I'd like to add another consideration: cooking advice is often specific to cultural context. I can't speak for your specific recommendations because I haven't read them, but other books in the category do have this issue.

I primarily cook Chinese food, and as a result general technique guidance coming from Western techniques tends to work to the extent that green beans are green beans, but tends to translate imperfectly to the extent that a cast iron skillet is not a wok, dumpling dough and pasta dough are made differently and handled differently, etc.

As a result, I sort of have two different kitchens in my kitchen, there's a set of tools, ingredients, and techniques for Chinese food (and often other Asian cuisines), and there's a set of tools, ingredients, and techniques for when I make Western dishes.

Seems like the article is going out of its way to make public transit sound attractive with phrasing like "Metro’s sprawling bus network". Anecdotally, nobody I know in LA considers public transit as a realistic option and they routinely make jokes about how bad it is.
One-star reviews are the best signal I can find for product quality. They will let you know if there is a repeatable issue with trustworthy incentives. If there are more 2 star reviews than 1 star reviews and there is no pattern in the 1 star reviews, that's a great sign.
Hello. I am the founder of this company. I understand your skepticism. It's true that it is very difficult to build a fully general dev tool that's 1000x faster and lets you control everything entirely down the pixel level. We're not claiming that. We're claiming that for a broad range of software (esp., social, messaging, and collaborative software), we can make the development process orders of magnitude faster. You do lose some customization though.

There is precedent for something like this being possible and valuable. Mid-90s level web technology was very restrictive, but did make a whole class of online service much easier to build and deploy than what existed before that (CompuServe, etc.) You didn't have complete control over every aspect of display, networking, etc., but the loss in customization/control didn't prevent it from enabling a lot of very important and valuable projects.

By the way, I feel like I should underline that I consider the technology behind Wikimedia a nice idea, but terrible execution. Apart from it being completely not standardized and having only one implementation, just compare it to Stack Overflow: both have the goal of gathering valuable knowledge and one manages to use gamification to build a healthy and transparent community, while the other has the least intuitive system possible, based on "voting" by editing Wikipedia pages only to end up being reminded that this is not a democracy. I feel that if the process was easier to grasp, people would edit more and we would have even more access to knowledge. Also, not integrating with Wikias sounds like a lost opportunity as well. I know that they vary by scope, but this would better solve the problem of deletionism vs inclusionism than what we have right now - criteria of "notability" in order to... reduce noise? Reduce maintenance cost? Neither is convincing to me.

Comparing rideshare to public transit, this tells me there's clearly a need for easier, faster transit even with higher pricing.

Solution? Try to ruin it.

Instead, maybe we should embrace it and provide incentives for ridesharing vs driving alone? E.g. give uber a lane on the highway for 2+ passengers and tax only single rider transits. Give a few lyft ride coupons with every monthly bus pass. Provide benefits to using busses (which are a terrible experience) by occasional free lyft rides ...

> we would need to use the proceeds to dramatically increase the quality and quantity of alternatives to driving so that people had a realistic choice.

I agree, but public transit projects take years to complete, so in the interim you'd have very expensive driving and worse congestion than before (due to construction), which sounds like hell on earth. Would it be feasible to invest the costs up front and collect the payout later?
You're using 20-20 hindsight. That if you lead with is a big if.

> ... English is not my first language ...

I am always in awe of anyone who engages in complex conversations in a language other than their first. In that I commend you.

You said:

> Any theory, even the most basic and self-evident one, should be be understood as "the best current explanation to a question" instead of the absolute truth.

That's absolutely true in science. But as was pointed out, the linked article is not about science, it's about mathematics.

Editing lightly - please correct me if I'm mis-representing you:

> ... mathematicians use proofs and logical deductions instead of experimentation.

Yes.

> But the idea still holds, whatever conclusion they reach should be taken as the best current answer instead of absolute immutable god-given truth.

I think nearly every mathematician would agree that (a) There is a lot of mathematics that is a human construction; (b) There are mistakes, although not many; (c) There is a fundamental difference in the nature of the uncertainty in mathematical proofs as compared with scientific theories; (d) Most of mathematics is not "God-Given Truth", but it is not just "the best current answer."

This is why I wanted to know how much experience you have of advanced mathematics, I wanted to know where you are in this spectrum.

And I'm still not really sure of what point you're trying to make. It's obvious that mathematical proofs are fundamentally different from scientific theories, so you must be saying something else, perhaps something deeper. I just don't know what it is.

Perhaps I never will.
I think what the OP is getting at is that we need to sequester that carbon. I'm all in for reducing emissions as much as we can. But that doesn't take care of the contaminants already in the air and ocean (and what is being released from under the ice). Sequestration is an important step that we need to be taking seriously.

Though I don't agree with their comment about worrying is for fools.

Edit: It doesn't seem that's what OP is getting at. But __I__ think we need to talk about sequestration in conjunction with radically lowering our emissions.
Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

> Overall interesting, except I wonder how they manage to make it legal since basically no jurisdiction anywhere lets anyone under age sign legal contracts

This is a popular myth, but false; most US jurisdictions allow minors to form perfectly valid contracts, whether oral or written or otherwise, though such contracts, while they are still executory (that is, while some required obligation is still outstanding), are generally voidable by the minor until and unless ratified in adulthood.

This would be a real problem if credit cards were provided (though IIRC jurisdictions are mixed as to whether an unpaid financial commitment alone makes a contract executory), it's less of a problem with debit cards.

> Get a teacher at any public school in the USA to sponsor you (i.e. a school club), and suddenly the Public School System will handle ALL of this insanity for you, and ran through the schools bookstore(usually).

Perhaps, but...

> Plus they will eat all of the costs of running it, the insurance problems, the liability issues, etc.

If they agree to sponsor the activity. Which is why schools tend to have policies on the activities school clubs can engage in, based on what they are comfortable and experienced with handling, and which don't have uncomfortable administrative, liability, political, or other burdens.

And also why teachers, who often don't get paid extra to take on the role of club advisor, may not want to take the role on. Sure, if you are lucky you may have a teacher into the idea at your school, who d is willing to. You also may not. Or you may not want the activity to be limited to your school (especially if while there is interest in your area, it isn't concentrated on your school.) Getting a public school club to cover administrative, liability, etc., burdens for an activity not limited to the school’s students gets a lot harder.

I think some people like you here are not understanding what "carjacking" is. This isn't simple car theft; it's a violent crime where attackers frequently use weapons to force people out of their car and take it. Victims are frequently killed or injured in the process. It isn't like someone breaking into your car when you're not in it. Carjacking is a really scary crime.

How to Write a Go API Part 2: Integrate a Database with GORM
"and I ran BIND on the kind of potato that has a quarter of the RAM that a raspberry pi has"

256MB RAM? - bloody luxury!

A very quick and a bit rubbish experiment:

$ ping 9.9.9.9
5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 10ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.982/10.838/12.531/0.888 ms

$ dig @9.9.9.9 www.google.com A
;; Query time: 13 msec

DNS is pretty quick. Note how I mistakenly use ICMP and a UDP service response time to imply something. If I'd tried to claim that DNS adds about 5ms overhead, I would have been first to put the boot in. The basic result stands though - DNS is quick.

Fuel tax revenue and other direct user fees like annual registration in California amount to less than 25% of what the state and its cities pay to maintain the roads and streets. Roads are massively subsidized from general revenues. If you are proposing a $5/gallon fuel tax then I completely agree. That would be about equivalent to what other rich countries tax motor fuel and consistent with the state's greenhouse gas emission goals.
