>> neither adopted as a result of the Christian scriptures (it was inherited from the pagan Greeks)

The geo-centric view comes from religions older than Greek culture which was then stolen by Christians. But it was as much a heresy (well, heresy is a Christian concept, but you know what I mean) to say that Earth is not center in the world in the _religions_ of ancient Greece as much as it was in _religions_ of Christianity.

Thus my point still stands: the science behind anything is in direct confrontation with any religious teaching that ever existed. Thus religions should not exist.

I'd say it's two-part problem:

(1) Specification
(2) Implementation

Specification has always been the primary problem, the simple reason being that we are trying to quantify human desires regarding information flow. As we are finding out, it's non-trivial to say the least.

This goes back to an earlier talk I learned about here and watched just this morning by the outstanding MIT professor Nancy Leveson, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBktiCyPLo4, who has analyzed various engineering problems (including the Challenger disaster) and even published an entirely new methodology for analyzing large-scale systems. Her book can be downloaded for free at http://sunnyday.mit.edu/safer-world.pdf.

Of course, economics factors into everything people endeavor to do these days, but strictly within the domain of creating correct information management systems -- from a purely technical level -- the problems are specification and implementation, in that order. Getting someone to pay for the time and team needed to do the job correctly is a completely different story, and not a pleasant one, it seems.
> Posting this here is likely karma suicide, but here we go; this is my perspective, and it's as valid as any other.

Not all perspectives are equally valid.

> Money is the ultimate drug, yet piling it up and walking over dead bodies to get ever more is seen as successful and worthy of admiration. I know a junkie when I see one, the fact that the drug is legal changes nothing.

Saying that friends and family are more important than money is a truism. Most people prioritize "things that matter" (including friends and family) over pursuit of money. People who pursue money to the detriment of everything else are rare.

Listing your "born poor credentials" is irritating. Boasting about how you lost your savings, which means you care about things that matter, which makes you virtuous (because you are poor again) is irritating. It's a transparent and silly perspective.

Pretending that the only two choices are virtuous poverty and sinful solvency is also silly. There are people who do not irrationally pursue money to the detriment of their personal lives and yet manage to avoid poverty.

I know it's discomforting to admit that there are people who have made better choices and live happier lives than you along every dimension. But it's true.
This is what I do:

20 or 30 minutes before lunch I eat an apple. There was a study a few years ago that showed you can crowd out unhealthy food by eating an apple or pear before every meal.

I bring in frozen vegetables from home and I have to eat them before I eat any of the office snacks.

Never drink soda.

Making clear rules makes it easier to follow compared to having to use willpower and thinking about each situation.
I have to admit that there might not even be a way to do that otherwise.

You'll either need to make the whole of the humanity live in the sorts of Star Trek universe, where everyone is equally educated and is equally capable to critical thinking.

Or you end up with the same system where the majority of people are obliged to give their absolute trust to the minority.
This begs the question: did the employees negotiate a market-rate salary upon employment? If so, then they did not get screwed... they just didn't get a large bonus, which is the gamble of joining a startup - most of the time you don't get the big bonus.
I'd imagine the founders and execs aren't needed or wanted outside of ensuring basic continuity of the business short term. But they negotiated benefits for themselves and not the other employees because they were the ones negotiating.

Following this logic further, should we try to fight against education initiatives in general too? Educated people are more likely to be able to pick up programming, or take one of many other white-collar jobs. We could team up with people of other white-collar jobs and work on slashing funding for public schools, etc., to make sure future generations don't replace us too soon.

Somehow that doesn't seem right. I think it's a horrible zero-sum view of the world.
I see that as a bleak worldview. Yes, it's important to acknowledge that the company you work for does not have your best interests in heart. I don't think seeking the highest comp possible, at the expense of other factors, is generally a good strategy though.

There is more to the quality of a job and your life than having the highest total comp possible.

Having a lasting and enjoyable connection with your teammates is valuable too; you spend hours a day interacting with them, and teams of people you can really get along with are few and far between.

If jumping ship every 6 months maximizes your comp, but you never get the chance to create professional relationships as you jump from ship to ship, I'd say that's going to usually be a bad tradeoff.

There are other axis as well, such as a team with a reasonable manager who lets you spend time with your family, or a company that works in an area that aligns particularly well with your interests.
I would particularly recommend Lindsay Ellis' series "The Whole Plate[0]," a multi-part primer on film theory presented through the analysis of Michael Bay's Transformers films.

I second this.

As for my personal implementation it’s usually a morning workout then breakfast for my girlfriend and myself. Usually scrambled eggs and egg whites with scallions, peppers, spinach, toast, and coffee.

Lunch, if any, is usually a black tea and a tin of tuna. The odd day I’ll buy a salad with chicken or hard boiled eggs.

Another workout or run and then supper is usually a combination of a protein, a carb (often pearl barley, brown rice, or sweet potato) and greens of any variety.

One hint: you can nearly eat as many greens as you want. Limit your carbs to what’s necessary. Make sure you get enough protein as that’ll supply the best energy, and fats in the morning help you feel pretty satiated all day long.

Also: beer is a gift from whatever god or mathematical formulae or whatever brought all matter into being—but those calories add up fast so watch out for them. Pop/soda, including something innocuous like Ginger Ale, is just as bad.

YMMV

Edit: should note that I also track my rough calorie burn using an Apple Watch 4 and my food intake with a simple kitchen scale, eyeballing portions, and a calorie tracking app called Lose It that pulls my calorie expenditure from my watch to give me a calorie budget for the day with deficits from exercise calculated in.
Drink more water. Make a point of picking appropriate snacks. Eat more veggies and protein.

Skip 'carby' food (noodles, rice, bread, potatoes) (this will help you from feeling sleepy later).

> I constantly find myself failing to exercise restraint

at least you know :)

> what strategies do you use to practice moderation? And for those of you who have changed your behaviors, how did you do so?

We ate a lot of Tex-Mex, started ordering chicken soup instead of enchilada plates.

Skipped breakfast doughnuts. Skipped pie and cake.

Didn't add sugar or flavoring to coffee. Replaced all sugary drinks with water.

Did 'quantified self'; every morning weighed myself in the bathroom and sequentially wrote my weight on the mirror with a dry-erase marker.
For B&W, it actually wasn't quite that bad with 35mm relative to today. For something like a football game, I might have shot 5 rolls (so 200 frames or so). Random assignments for a given day a roll or two. You made contact prints and printed up what was needed.

Definitely a bigger consideration than today but it's not all about quantity.
> it's about time that most of those 3 month trials expire. I imagine the number will drop substantially after.

Apple's been heavily pushing the service with the same 3 month trial for several years and has seen huge growth over the whole period. There's no big correction that's waiting to hit.
Keeping close track of all calories, setting a daily ceiling on calories, and trying to burn ~1000 calories a day via exercise so I can enjoy slightly larger meals.
If I feel full after a meal, I know I've made a mistake. Cutting most carbs (not Keto) is a great way to feel more full. Slow down when eating and completely avoid sugary drinks.

I weaned myself off of Coke by switching to Coke Zero then to water/tea/coffee with a sprinkle of a packet of sugar for taste.

Don't mindlessly eat at your desk. It's unsanitary and has been proven to cause people to eat more than they would consciously.

When you skip a meal, don't cave to your body's urge to eat double next meal. You will just send it straight to fat. Remember when you skip meals, then carefully portion the next meal to avoid the set back.

A good low carb, medium-low fat, high protein shake with lots of vitamins is a great way to skip a meal, maintain muscle mass, and avoid the insulin/cortisol cycle that drives fat storage. These shakes should be enough to discourage you from partaking in the temptation around you.

If the shakes aren't enough try celery, carrots, fresh fruit (not dried more on that later), and other low carb foods.

Never keep dried fruit around, it's too calorie dense for our own good. Would you eat 24 apricots? No? Then why are you eating 24 dried apricots?

I still don't bring lunch but I avoid pizza, taco bell, burgers, etc. Small bento box with lots of salad and no fried stuff. BBQ without any biscuits/bread. Rotisserie chicken with steamed vegetables. Protein shakes.
Do note however, that powerful nations often do such convincing with the barrel of a gun.
Nietzsche formed his ideas independently. "Self-reliant" is relative - he spent most of his life disabled, living on a pension in Italy.

Moreover, I don't think Nietzsche advocated that everyone think independently. Following the "order of rank" logic, he might advocate that those of a higher order think for themselves (but even he's concerned with what is healthy for the individual, not what opens the person's mind the most). He'd not want free thinking for those of a lower order of rank (something that indeed doesn't paint ole Fred in the best light).
I've found the thing that works for me to do is to log every single bit of food I eat from the office.

I keep measuring cups in the office kitchen and a food scale to weigh my food. If you're eating premade food that doesn't have a label, it makes it a little more difficult to count but apps like MyFitnessPal suggest similar items that make it easier to get a rough estimation of how many calories you're ingesting as well as how the macros break down for the items.

Luckily for me, my office tends to buy a lot of prepackaged items that have labels I can scan into the app to record everything but even then it can be hard to be precise. I've found that forcing myself to log the food I eat makes me think twice about going after the junk food and snacks. Also, the data you'll collect will be invaluable if you're tracking your weight as well and you can play around and see what calorie levels/macros work best for you.

As a side note, intermittent fasting has worked wonders for me when trying to cut weight. It makes it almost difficult for me to go over 1800 calories.
Software engineering is still mostly a craft, not a type of engineering. We should not start another FP versus OOP war. I think it misses the point. We should start thinking about languages where it is possible to precisely define implementation, like: X implements Y using representation R under conditions C. For example, a CPU instruction for adding two numbers works with modular arithmitics presuming a certain representation of numbers, nowadays, usually 2-complement with a certain power of 2. If you want it to represent the addition of two numbers then that is only possible if the sum of the two numbers does not cause an 'overflow'. There are algorithms to implement additions of much larger numbers using other representations and combinations of machine instructions. Writing an implementation for a certain problem, like summing a sequence of numbers, should begin with specifying the characteristics of the kind of sums one want to calculate. If one would have a library of implementation, one could engineer a 'correct' solution, without having to write an implementation by yourself.
How does it differ from say actix?
This seems like something many young adults work out in college. The "freshman 15" is exactly what you're describing except with the school dining hall instead of the workplace cafeteria. You just need to learn to say no, it's really as simple as that. If that's not possible consider you may need medication like Vyvanse or other medical help to stop your excessive eating.
> Try applying your reasoning to a trademark.

But I'm not making any argument about trademarks, or physical property ownership. My arguments are about copyright, and I'm not very interested in conflating copyright with trademarks and patents and ownership of land &c.

This is where it gets tricky of course. What's fair, exactly, and to whom? (Again, though, I'm not interested in talking about trademarks.)
There is a metric fton (an SI unit) of research on a wide range of socially beneficial change that happens simply from giving power to women.

What, I literally have to do research for you? At least in political science circles, this is like basic multiplication. Not quite as simple as addition.

(Political science is my discipline. I see high orders of Dunning Kruger and misogyny in the HN community, so it does not surprise me at all that my idea of 4*4!=16 is common here).
I think "dieting" in general is more difficult when you ignore one other part of the equation - exercise/movement.

I find my appetite is much easier to control when I'm lightly moving around most of the day.

Also keeping hydrated (while avoiding sugars) can reduce urges - I drink tea or water.

Finally, keeping healthier snacks around can fight the unhealthy ones if they're a habit.
Giving up Lattes and Avocado toast is classic penny wise, pound foolish logic. If $5 / day is going to break the bank you have bigger problems. If $5 / day isn't going to break the bank, you almost certainly have larger expenses that could be trimmed to much larger effect.

Financial insecurity is often a lifestyle problem, but it more often revolves around excessive debt than a few frivolous habits.

I would pay for a service where a company gives me a PO Box-like address, and I can have other DVD/BR-by-mail services target that address, and anything that gets sent to that address gets ripped to a server for private one-time streaming. ("one time" meaning you start a watch-session and can pause/rewind at will, but once you've passed through all the frames once and hit the-credits-minus-a-minute-or-so, you can't rewind any more—so you can't start watching from the beginning any more—and the movie will get deleted a few days later.)

Would that be legal? It's a lot closer to Pay Per View than to traditional streaming.
> Very very few astronomers, cosmologists and physicists are dedicating their working life to something that is broadly considered unfalsifiable.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand, the multiverse is not observable directly or indirectly. Thus it is not scientifically falsifiable by virtue of not being observable.

Here’s another example but it’s about being in the wrong loan program or repayment plan. But the fact pattern is similar. The servicers and the dept of Ed did a bad job implementing this program.

> And for those of you who have changed your behaviour, how did you do so?

- Notice it when I eat something just to “feel good”, or to distract myself from “feeling bad” because some kind of stressor came up. Food is fuel not a stimulant.

- Notice the moment the urge to snack hits, and ask myself if a glass of water will do. Somehow for a while I confused thirst for hunger, doesn’t happen now.

- Work out: seems to have a positive impact over time on food consumption patterns too.

The most important thing is that you already know this is a behaviour change problem (not just blaming your physical body). Meditation helped me a lot with that.
I have a couple strategies:
- If im hungry I drink a glass of water first. Most of the time I drink something that impulse to eat goes away while satisfying my wandering mind.
- I like to eat apples, they are sweet enough to be a good snack but not very high in calories.
- I bike to work (4mi each way) which helps if I do eat more than I want.
Use MyFitnessPal to track what you're eating and your goal weight. At the end of the day, it'll estimate your weight in 5 weeks if you ate like that every day for five weeks. (e.g., "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 158.9 lbs in 5 weeks")

It's a good incentive to avoid tempting, but unnecessary foods.
that is also complete nonsense. I could have a whole other core in the system (nowadays computers have more than one), which can replace the vectors back with the original ones and not the "secured" ones.

I've found that it's much easier to eat healthy when I regularly do some form of cardio exercise at least every other day.

After working out I naturally tend toward healthy foods, maybe because I don't want to undo all of the hard work.

When I don't work out for a while, my appetite and digestion get messed up and I start boredom eating more.

>Yeah, umm... plenty of "racial realists" and ethno-nationalists here too, and incels, and anti-semites.

I'm sure you're right, but I haven't read. Generally, bigots go for the whole meal deal. Still, I notice that blatantly transphobia is tolerated to a far greater degree than racism or homophobia. One at least has to put a bit of effort into dog-whistling in those cases.

>It doesn't. All HN requires is that comments be civil, and not assume bad faith. It's up to the community to call people out on their BS, but it's not policy.

The "not assuming bad faith" thing, which applies broadly in our society, is what allows this kind of barely-concealed dog-whistling to go on. Assuming good faith is the proper default, but common sense should be applied.
I can't recall going to Blockbuster to rent something I had already seen. Usually more time was spent when they introduced the walls of empty boxes.

Greek dialectic, while cool and useful, is not the same thing as the scientific method. It was an essential ingredient to science, but not science itself.

The Islamic world had access to the same (and perhaps even more) Greek heritage, but did not have "science".

Regarding this so-called fact "that religion per se did nothing for science" here is at least a series of arguments for the case that the particularities of Christian theology (in contrast with other belief systems of the time and prior) made a fertile intellectual ground for science as a concept and practice to develop:
