At a certain point it says:

"Evidence linking fish oil and cancer has been all over the map. Some research suggests diets high in fatty fish or fish oil supplements might reduce the risk of certain cancers, including prostate cancer. Other research shows just the opposite, a link between eating a lot of oily fish or taking potent fish oil supplements and a 43% increased risk for prostate cancer overall, and a 71% increased risk for aggressive prostate cancer."

Go figure! I guess, inconclusive at best.
I like to kind of live with books rather than read them linearly. So I might go and read a chapter from a book. I consider them resources. That’s why I deeply appreciate a good table of contents; they were better in the past.

Check out “How to Read a Book”, too. It presents book reading in quite a different way than you might be used to. The book as an object that you investigate almost like a strange beetle or a transistor radio—to learn how it works.

Most nonfiction books “do something” in the way that a program does something. There’s a main purpose and a lot of subroutines and maybe some boilerplate and repetition. It’s not as linear as you might think either. And they’re embedded in a web of references. It’s very interesting to think about how you actually use a book in your life...

I do wonder how Netflix can stay competitive in this market. They already have lots of debt, new competitors coming up, stock price is quite high.

And this:

>This was a large, well designed study that supports previous research linking high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids with prostate cancer risk. However, it cannot show that fish oil supplements cause prostate cancer and it is possible that other confounders affected men’s risk (although the researchers tried to take these into account).

Their conclusion contradicts their own headline.

So, OK, taking a step back and thinking about this. So my impression from the public debate and so on in the western world is that discrimination is seen as unacceptable and really not at all OK. From the impression I get it is probably something like a less severe human rights violation or something like that. Of course, not comparable to truly horrible things, but still it has no real place in any civilized society. So this the background I'm coming from, I'm not sure if I've misunderstood something, I'm not sure.

So based on this, society then wants to discriminate men as an extraordinary measure, because women has been discriminated in the past and there is a feeling this needs to be done in order to give women a fair chance etc etc etc. And so far I'm following the story and it seems at least understandable.

But now I'm starting to see a situation where it is very unclear to me what "advantage" men have over women. In particular, one thing I tried to raise with my previous post, even if I did not spell this out explicitly, was the question of proportionality. And again, maybe I'm missing something, but to me the discrimination against men seem very much out of proportion to any problems a modern day girl/woman have. (To be clear, say someone in their early/mid 20s.) In particular, given the amount of discrimination we are talking about I would expect something a lot more solid and rigorous than the explanations I'm seeing (e.g. men as a group being more advantaged, whatever this means).

In particular, given the background I give in the first paragraph, I'm honestly a bit shocked to see discrimination being proposed more as some kind of policy tool used to get society to where some people want it to go. Like let's raise the taxes on the rich and discriminate men a bit more. Again, I guess I have misunderstood something, because this conclusion certainly seems absurd, at best.

tl;dr either discrimination is really not OK, but then there needs to be a very good reason why we can discriminate men. Or, discrimination is not a big deal, but then why is this even a question up for discussion?
I’ve had this vision of being able to watch 90s cable as it aired (channel flipping). This would entail a project wherein people en masse would send in all their VHS and in return for free digitization we would be able to keep the archived video to recreate cable airtime. I know it’s impossible, for copyright/privacy issues, but stories like this make me think it’s technically feasible. The material is out there.

In the Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers[0], he mentions that there are physiological differences to stress and verbal insults depending on what part of the US you are from. Specifically, being from the South led to stronger physiological responses to verbal insults.

The main thrust, was that if you are descended from pastoral (vs farming) folks and they lived in a mountainous area, there was a high correlation with "honor" and "vendetta" cultures. You can't steal a farm whereas you can steal livestock which in turn led to vendettas etc. The example given in the book is Scottish highlanders who moved to the Appalachians and basically brought the "you stole my sheep, I stabbed your brother, you stabbed me" lifestyle with them.

The US has an annualized growth rate [0] of ~.7%, or ~2M/yr, and this an historically low rate (probably b/c of economic problems)

Annualized "new housing starts" is 1.28M/yr [1]

And we already have a housing deficit, proven not only in homelessness, but in adults sharing rentals, the high cost of rent, new grads completely besides themselves in lack-of-prospects, student debt, etc... In other words, it's getting worse.

Clearly, the only answer is building more housing, and the market is not answering that call. Or give me 40 acres and a mule...

No, that is not correct. While each base is half of a base pair, each pair is NOT reversible. At each position along one strand you have 4 options, so each base encodes 2 bits. Even though A always pairs with T and G with C, which strand each base is on matters, so in other words if you have pair "A-T" followed by "G-C" that is very different from "T-A" followed by "C-G".

so let me get this straight: We are saying that there are some people who are doing okay in one place, and in another place, they have poverty.

And this is not inequality?

Honestly though, its been far more clear to me living and working in a country with much better income inequality how much the state of some places having rampant poverty and other places in the same country having massive profits. It seems like a cliché to say, but how is it that in the country with the highest average salary in the world there is so much poverty?

It's because there is a much sharper distribution: the wealthy few make far far more in america than they ever do in europe, but everybody else is better off.

The sharpness of this curve is what indecates inequality to me. I'm sure there are all sorts of fancy ways economists have quantified this, along with economic mobility (also shockingly low in the supposed land where anyone can make it)

C++ is easily the next Perl:

It could be made relative to the time that needs to be spent to complete the game, and maybe a different category for open ended and multiplayer games.

Hey! It sounds like both your consulting and budding start-up are very interesting. I'm looking to get into consulting. Python and SQL and my specialties.

If you want to cut back on your consulting perhaps I can try to take some of the work off of you. I could work under you at half your price $140/h, so you could spend more time on your start-up and still be making money from your consulting and keep your clients. It makes sense for me as it would be a quick way for me to get into consulting and it seems like you already have the workflow, etc down.

Or perhaps you would want to work with someone on your startup. I have had a few successful start-ups over the years.

It was a design problem and a maintenance problem. A lot of the design decisions made in that era later proved to be Very Bad Ideas, like how there was no proper hydrogen containment above the reactor vessel.

Newer designs have suffered more major faults and managed to contain virtually all of the radiation. American designs, in particular, place great emphasis on having an extremely resilient containment structure above the reactor. A lot of things can go horribly wrong but so long as the extremely radioactive gas is contained it can later be cleaned up. These radioactive elements are extremely toxic, but also very short lived. You just need to buy time.

The Fukushima design may as well have had a tin roof, it exploded almost immediately and exposed the reactor to the elements. If that's not a design flaw, I don't know what is.

That and a number of the systems necessary to keep the reactor under control depended on poorly positioned generators that weren't flood-proofed. This seems like a major oversight on a building located in a tsunami and typhoon zone.

> It is worth bearing in mind that this study did not assess participants’ diet and use of supplements. Researchers measured blood levels of fatty acids and analysed the association with prostate cancer risk. However, it is likely that the very high levels of fatty acids found in some participants’ blood came from supplements.

Important point

2nd point to consider: is this for all types of cancer? More, less aggressive? Benign enlargement of prostate? In the article (comparison of the lowest Om3 quartile with the highest Om3 quartile):

> 44% increased risk of low grade prostate cancer (HR (hazard ratio) = 1.44, 95% CI (confidence interval) = 1.08 to 1.93)
> 71% increased risk of high grade prostate cancer (HR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.00 to 2.94)
> 43% increased risk of total prostate cancer (HR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.88)

3rd point: could this be associated with something else (for example: heavy metals in fish)

As most guidance by the NHS, this is very well explained and de-sensationalized

> However, it cannot show that fish oil supplements cause prostate cancer and it is possible that other confounders affected men’s risk (although the researchers tried to take these into account)
It's unfortunate for this family, but as long as there are some desperately poor, you'll be able to find stories like this. If the changing face of homelessness is not actually going hungry that often, being given notice when the police are coming through to clean out the encampment, this might be an improvement over recent historical trends.

I'm disappointed with the lack of data and style reporting on homelessness as a whole. Inconsistent statistics or lack of any context makes it hard to form an opinion. The site you linked which should be a good source of data makes it hard to see data over time and inexplicably colors the map by total population, rather than fraction of population (https://xkcd.com/1138/).

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_Sta... it appears it has fallen over the past 12 years without much correlation to the economy.
