Honestly, I'd be happy if obese people (the article mentions 40% of USA citizens) left food on their plates. We're taught that it's a waste and that we should finish it out of respect, but that's illogical and harmful. I know someone who's morbidly obese but will always try to finish her plate due to these norms.

Parents use the argument about poor kids in Africa (at least my parents did) but that makes no sense. If I eat less, the banana doesn't magically appear on the plate of a poor family. There are only a billion people left in extreme poverty despite the recent (100 years) population explosion, and with some effort, most of them will soon have enough food, too. But reducing waste won't help; buying less would help. So instead, the parents should be berating themselves for getting the portion size wrong and having bought too much, instead of teaching kids to overeat and what a sin it is to leave food on the plate.

It's very hard to change these beliefs and habits, I'm curious what your thoughts are on this after reading my reasoning (which is by no means perfect, I might be wrong or explaining it wrong).

Having worked at a large company before that had their own instance of Confluence Questions (i.e. Atlassian's SO clone): it was incredibly useful. As a new employee, it allowed me to relatively quickly find the relevant people, or even to come across answers by them to questions people kept running into over and over again.

As I became responsible for an internal library used company-wide, I pushed for the Q&A site to be our primary means of communication, and would always refer to it after answering questions from people contacting me directly. I saw the same pattern repeat itself for many new hires.

Otherwise I think your observations are spot on.

That's why it is random. Solid engineering implies that you estimate how much effect this measure will have.

Note that the report says 'Incidence rates

If this was solid engineering, there would minimum noise requirements to help people with reduced vision.

This is similar to having a man with a flag walk in front of car. Because those horseless vehicles are just scary.
Not only. First, some people, eating the same excess calories than you, won't store it as fast. Genetics play a role. Also, you may store more fat or not depending of:

- the time of the day you eat it (you will more likely store things if you eat it late than early in the morning due to your homonal cycle)

- the duration on which you eat it (the infamous 9 hours popularized by dr rhonda patrick)

- what you mix. Eating the same amount of calories in pure fat, or in a mix of 50% fat and sugar will not result in the same process by the liver.

- insulin sensibility. Which is influence by the quality of your food. E.G: how much sugar it contains.

- ability to process said food, again influenced by the state of irritation of your intestine and your microbiome, and hence influenced by the quality of your food. E.G: adult can get irritated intestines by intaking dairy product after they lost their childhood ability to proess it as well.

I know it's a convenient shortcut to say "calories in, calories out", especially since it's easy to demonstrate (the anecdotal Twinkie diet made us all think). But if we keep repeating that, we are not helping people to lose weight. Dieting has a very low success rate because of the solely focus on the calorie count, while using the informations above as well lead to less rebound and frustration in my experience.

Anecdotal of course, but in the case of a common cold (as opposed to one where symptoms are unusually severe, or lasts too long) no-one in my family takes medicine (other than tea with honey and lemon), and the cold goes away just fine. I get the strong impression this is true for most of Europe.

A little less anecdotally, a cold is a viral infection, so medicine will mostly target only its symptoms, not the underlying cause. If the symptoms are bearable, then this looks like a bad idea to me - I'm inclined to think the symptoms are there for a reason.

I think it would be wise to leave a good chunk of the mods behind.

It has been an idea for me for a while to create a site where

- questions are answered

- and useful answers rewarded.

Note there is no "good" in front of questions, and answers are rated by their usefullness, primarily to the person asking the question and secondary to everyone else, not by how well they conform to a site script.

In particular, if someone wants to ask what JavaScript framework should I choose in 2020 and someone finds it worth answering and the asker of the question likes the answer, then: Fine!

Duplicate questions? Fine! Answering by pointing to a previous question? Fine! Answering again without mentioning the previous question? Fine!

It should be a site for people wanting to ask or answer questions, not a site for people who want to be mods.

Now, since that would be the purpose of the site and not something abstract like: make a repository of everything we know, all these questions and answers will be fine.

There should also be some inflation or maybe even better "karma tax" so both accounts and questions lose something like 10% (or a dynamically calculated percent) of their value each year, so we aren’t stuck with "Top JavaScript libraries for 2019" on top of the lists forever.

Another thing I would consider is making it harder to create accounts as soon as possible.
One of my toy projects: https://github.com/thanatos/baseunicode ; there's probably a lot that could be done better, and the alphabet it uses needs to be greatly expanded.

There are few other implementations of the same idea out there, too. Here's another one: https://github.com/qntm/base65536 ; since it uses a power-of-two sized alphabet, it avoids some of the work mine has to do around partial output bytes. That link also links to some other ideas & implementations

The exact metric I cared about at the time was compressing for screen-space, not for actual byte-for-byte space. I wrote it after spending some time in a situation where doing a proper scp was just a PITA, unfortunately, but copy/pasting into a terminal is almost always a thing that works. But I was also dealing with screen/tmux, which makes scrolling difficult, so I wanted the output to fit in a screen. From that, you can implement a very poor man's scp with tar -cz FILES | base64 ; the base-unicode bit replaces the base64.

Mine doesn't use Huffman coding as it wants to stream data / it leans on gzip for doing that.
It's really a site by programmers for programmers,

Indeed, I think many, many people share the same complaint about SO moderation, and this is the best explanation imo. Physician heal thyself!

Society owes it to children for laws to be made protecting children from parents being medically negligent.

Humanity is failing when it comes to morals if we cannot even have a child reach adulthood in good health because of negligent parents.

> That said, historically women have been on the receiving end of physical violence from men far, far more often than vice versa and were told to suffer in silence

Statistically, this is not true. In relationships where there is one-sided violence, the violence is (something like) 70/30 with the woman initiating the violence. In relationships where there is two-sided violence, the woman initiates the violence more than half of the time. These studies are hard to find and often have no funding because they get shouted out of the mainstream consciousness.

Here is a study that covers part of this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1854883/

Ask yourself why you've never heard of it.

If you are speaking historically, surely you are not suggesting incarceration of men as reparations for things we didn't do?

Ikea's smart lights have some switch like buttons you can use to turn on and off the lights (you can also adjust the brightness by holding down the buttons). It's pretty nice to be able to just place those little buttons wherever you think you want to turn on the lights.
In Germany, the municipality maintains those. Bio waste is picked up every two weeks or so. We have a large (5x5x13dm or so) container that we share with our upstairs neighbors and is mainly filled with mowed grass and kitchen waste, though I think we only fill it up once every month and a half, or maybe two months, and that's in summer when the grass grows.

In fall, there are also solutions for fallen leaves, but I don't remember what (we've lived here less than a year, I vaguely remember reading it but I've yet to see it). In the Netherlands, they put collection baskets (of like 1x1x1m) on many streets in that season.
Saying that this "cannot be taken down" is quite stupid. It's all fine and dandy if you live in a place without strong censorship, but in a situation where information that cannot be taken down would be really necessary, how long do you think it will take for the interested parties to find out that the content is in the message?
Kids are not kids forever. People feel like they have infinite time when they are young/in their prime. They don't and it is too late by the time the realization dawns in. By then, they have grown and moved out and that work which feels so intellectually stimulating/meaningful now does not necessarily feel the same way then.

I love programming and that is why I got into my choice of career. However, that program I spent so much time writing/crafting, at the expense of family time, will be obsolete/decomissioned before long. Hell even I won't care about it after a while.

The kids are not going to be decommissioned though. If we don't care about them now, they don't have any obligation to care about us then.

I don't think so. Wikipedia has a model that works. And unlike Wikipedia, a whole lot of professionals working in some of the most high paying jobs across the globe frequent and love stackoverflow.

Are cold symptoms maladaptive?

The “symptom” is an immune system response to a pathogen.

To me, it seems rational to default to assuming the symptom has an evolved purpose, a mechanism in fighting infection, and not counteract it unless absolutely necessary.

That’s what shadow profiles are: they are not necessarily illegal (depends on jurisdiction, illegal under GDPR), they act on probabilities (this particular set of data identifies a person and is significantly different from/similar to other sets of data), they look for patterns in data and behaviour (a user with browser fingerprint A from Pasadena that looks at youtube videos of category X yesterday and today is likely to be the same person even if IP changes)
Problem with this HN entry is it's doing exactly this.

I understand that the BBC might want to play the "statistically irrelevant but emotionally moving" card from time to time, as it's provably more efficient and, at their scale, could even save a sizeable number of lives.

But I still had hope that the comparatively much smaller population reading HN was into science as opposed to this kind of "argument".

Is it really important to have a real life illustration of the possible consequences of the feer of vaccines? I doubt it. Can you convince anyone to question his own irrational thoughts by resorting to irrational arguments, or do you actually help the bad habit to grow longer roots?

As the saying goes, the most pernicious way to damage a cause is to argue for it with dubious means.
From the article:

>The easy thing to do is to ask someone “Hey, pick a random number from 1 to 10!”. The person replies “7!”. Great! Now you have a number. However, you start to wonder, is the number uniformly random?

So the problem reduces to transforming one form of randomness (picking a person) to another form (a uniform numeric distribution. That's implicit in the whole rest of the article.

>If you've got a random way of picking one of ten people, then you've already got a random number between one and ten.

You've got a source of randomness, but you still need to turn that into a number. The article gives one method and I've given another. You could also assign the people numbers from a stack of shuffled numbered tiles, then pick a person although that requires you have the tiles which is not really part of the setup. The conceit is that you have to use people's ability to pick numbers pseudo-randomly. There are probably numerous ways.

To everyone arguing against his story: the trail of paperwork for CD Baby showed that it’s just an alias for Hit Media, so it would be hard for him to argue otherwise to the IRS or any other interested party. If you really did want to operate two separate businesses out of one bank account yes it’s possible but would be problematic without really clear and detailed records, starting with a separate set of books and tax returns.

As far as the story indicates, the separation between CD Baby and Hit Media was just in the author’s head. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I believe him, but the IRS would not. There would be too much incentive for people to generate complex recollections. Not to mention the trouble with business partners whether or not they are family.

We must be able to differentiate a phone playing a sound and a car by hearing alone, and that very quickly. We need a sound similar to emergency vehicle sirens but obviously less loud and dramatic.

So it is very important to have a universal class of sounds, and it must be forbidden to play sounds of that class on a street for other things.
Unsure I really understand the XSS risk that's discussed in the links you provided. Nobody cares about that origin because it has nothing of value hosted on it and it's not like you'd be able to access cookies from a different origin.

I think a few folks are missing the point.

How are web pages shared? By distributing links.

How are pages censored? By deplatforming. This usually happens by activists targeting the host right in their cashflow.

If you remove the need to host, you remove a point of failure from publishing. Now the link is the content.

It's an interesting concept whether or not you agree with this implementation.

Let's say a serious attempt consists of several months of work by an expert, someone who knows enough number theory to read the literature on this problem. Then the number of people who have seriously tried must be on the order of magnitude of 100.

Tough one. Let me think a moment. Hey, didn't I just read an article about how air conditioning represented a significant amount of unnecessary energy use? Crazy idea: let's reduce that. While we're at it, maybe we could also do things to reduce the number of cars on the road, or increase efficiency. We could build stuff using materials and processes that are less energy-intensive. There are a hundred other ways we could reduce the number of kWh used per day, separately from changing how those kWh are generated.
AFAIK the medical consensus is that the virus exploits the cough reaction etc. to infect other hosts.

E.g. quick random Google:

r3bl is correct. In the context of incredulity over someone sending 700 texts per day, my point was that I’m sure there are many users who send over 700 texts in a single an hour.

Nowhere did I say that rate would be sustained for 24 consecutive hours.

It is the ultimate in moving goalposts to take my response to a claim of 700/day being insane, to recast the debate as if it were over sending 17,000 texts per day.
Mod10, no matter how large the number you’re only keeping the last digit (assuming they choose base 10 numbers), which... is probably no more random than asking them for a single digit in the first place.
