I predict that olive oil will soon go through the transition that orange juice did. When I was a kid, people viewed orange juice as healthy. Now we see it as unhealthy -- just the sugar. Maybe some vitamin C, but not many people get scurvy. Whatever health benefits it has are overwhelmed by the otherwise empty calories.

People want to believe more olive oil will make their diet into a healthy Mediterranean one, but it's basically just fat -- whatever health benefits it has are overwhelmed by the otherwise empty calories.

They both benefited from effective marketing, not making people healthy.

The food photos on your phone are an untapped treasure trove of verified legit food recommendations.

I'm building an IOS app that uses your food photos to create a social food diary, which when aggregated with posts from your friends, also creates this communal food brain of legit food. I call it friend-sourcing instead of crowd-sourcing.

An example use case is going to Tokyo and trying a bunch of ramen places. You take photos and upload the ones you like onto a geotagged list (called Tokyo Trip).

Your friends are going to Tokyo soon and ask you for ramen recommendations. Instead of creating a google map with pins or a long email lists with no pictures or geo-capabilities, you show/send them the list with the app and it will show them all your ramen photos on a map.

We want to help answer "What is the closest legit food my friends have tried around me?" wherever you are.

We are looking for beta test users and will be launching this year. You just have to love food and like telling your friends where they should go eat (like me). Feel free to reach out at weizou@legitlist.me

Here is the beta test link if anyone is interested:

I don't understand why eco-friendly is between scare quotes here. It's not a big leap to see that leaving a forest to manage itself is the friendliest option. Yes, you are correct that wood can be converted to money and if we must do that we should do so responsibly.

Even given that that is the case, I fail to see how that connects to your obvious disdain for the stance that maybe money isn't the most important thing here.
It seems to be a very simple way of looking at it: squeeze out as much as possible from the employee without losing the employee - hence on the edge of quitting.

However, I think it is way too simple to be useful. People who are happy and relatively less stressed are way more productive on average. (Yerkes - Dodson Law applies here)

This study (https://www.pnas.org/content/114/5/E727) measured the speed at which selection against cognitive ability is occuring in the Icelandic population (they measured this genotypically rather than phenotypically). The rate at which it occurs is meaningful on the scale of our lifespans. Same is probably true for fertility rates, but as fertility is being selected for directly (rather than the indirect effect on cognitive ability) it's probably even more rapid.

Then this study more directly measured fertility's rate of evolution: https://www.pnas.org/content/115/1/151. They used UK Biobank data (genetic data from 157,807 female and 115,902 male unrelated samples). They found the 'Age at First Birth' is the most strongly selected trait in the British population. So in the future we can look forward to a world filled with teenage mums.

That this is not obvious to everyone is just a testiment to how little people understand about evolution.
There's the financial appeal but also when you're a busy young person, the value of a lot of space just isn't very high. At least for me anyway.

I house sat for some friends in my early twenties for a year. Two story house, pool, big yard. I never once used the yard or pool. My relationship to them were that they were maintenance expenses. Most rooms in the house went completely unused. Hell, the rooms I did use were inconveniently large, increased the area I needed to clean.

The only thing I preferred about it over my previous and current places of living was lack of housemates. Unfortunately the premium you pay, at least here, to go from 1 to 0 housemates is doubling your rent. In fact last time I was looking, there were more two/three bedroom houses than studio apartments within the "as cheap as I can get while still living alone" criteria I was searching.

I'd love for cheap micro-apartments to become widespread.
The "root" of the problem is a tricky metaphor. It can be defined different ways, and the most abstract (ie, You can't swing at it) is often what people come up with.

How would you fix, at a general level, the overall human & corporate tendency to play loose with the truth? I mean, we're subtly dishonest all the time.
I found that doesn't always work. Telling certain types of asshole directly telling them to piss off directly results in something like "I have _no idea_ what you're talking about? You're being too sensitive. And I find your rude/aggressive/whatever manner offensive...", all the while grinning slightly. Some even feed on the fact that they got you annoyed enough to confront them. With that comes exploiting the notion of qualifies as acceptable, professional behaviour such as getting emotional in response to bullying or threatening someone with "piss off or else..."
Portugal, so you're very close. IMHO, the cultures differ vastly between those countries, but in that respect they might be the same. Social hierarchies are a big thing here, one of the biggest downsides of an otherwise beautiful country. (As a tourist, you'd never notice any of this.)

Ask HN: Plant a Trillion Trees Campaign?
It seems one of the few opportunities to meaningfully help the planet and avoid the worst of climate change is to plant trees (1).

After learning this, I googled "donate a tree" and "plant a tree" and was met with dozens of results for nonprofits, many of which I had never heard of.

Which of the nonprofits was the best run? Which was the most efficient at converting donations into trees? Where were the trees being planted to ensure the planting was protected and sustainable?

My idea is to create a simple campaign website, trilliontrees.org, that serves as a rallying call to plant trees and that compares and provides guidance on the myriad of nonprofits involved in planting trees.

Anyone interested to partner on this?

I once closed my account only for it to be re-opened 4-5 months later by them with a debt balance assigned.

Long story short is that someone I'd previously transacted with owed them money so they determined that they would take it from my account and recover it from me.

I complained the Financial Ombudsman in the UK. They agreed with my position that it was unreasonable for me to be held financially accountable for people I've transacted with indefinitely.

Paypal stuck to the line that "You cannot close your account in order to avoid a debt". Despite the fact that I had no debt, except the one they assigned me several months after account closure, out of nowhere.
The same happened to me. 10 years ago my personal account was frozen. They requested additional verification. Getting any information on why my account was suddenly frozen lead to nothing. Paypal was not able or willing to explain to me what caused this issue.

This was the moment I decided I did want to do any further business with them.
> Areas that don’t quickly turn into forests are generally poorly suited to growing trees.

For some value of "quick", you are correct. Fertile land will indeed eventually develop into some kind of forest absent factors that inhibit such development (such as grazing cattle). I do not agree with you about this process being quick, as it can easily take more than one human lifetime for this to happen.
They could be cut down and turned into cross laminated timber buildings. If the trees are left to grow old and die naturally, does the stored carbon get re-emitted as a bi-product of decomposition? EDIT: According to the discussion below, yes it does.
Bit like Dartmoor - looks spectacularly wild and romantic, but used to be forested until Bronze Age farmers cleared it for agriculture and the soil turned acidic.

Not really. If you have a personal website with analytics (even your own), suddenly you need to display some cookie warning. If you allow comments all of a sudden you need to follow GDPR. Understanding it may require more time that you were willing to spend on share your ideas with the world. So if you really want to share you move to some big platform that handles it all for you.

The law is already so complex that even within a single country or a state, people who study it need specialisations. Regulators have no grasp regarding existing laws or full extent of laws they are voting for. It's madness.

> If my problem is covered by your FAQ, improve search. If my problem can be solved by a bot, let me do it in your UI.

This assumes that people who have a question they need answering will consider searching for an answer or getting to grips with the UI first, rather than heading straight to ask customer support. That's often not the case. Long before support chatbots became widespread, telephone trees made a point of telling every single user in the queue the help section of their website existed...

Agree bots should often make it easier to escalate and should default to escalation rather than blowing up[1], but if a large proportion of your queries are actually answered by telling people the FAQ page is a thing, it's a bit difficult to justify paying humans to do it.

[1]if escalation takes a couple of minutes for a response escalation and blowing up might be indistinguishable...

I use Stripe, the support is certainly better than Paypals but it's not like they'll do anything to keep your business if they consider you a risk.
https://trees.org was mentioned elsewhere as well, but when I tried to donate they really asked for a prohibitive amount of personal information. Then they had a "privacy policy" that I had to agree with, which was also chunky. I prefer donating to an organisation that recognises that there is no need for a huge amount of my personal data.

Based on [1] (where continue is handled) and [2] (the branch statement type), looks like the target is simply passed to the function. This is a recursive descent parser, so passing the target down the statement handling stack is trivial (and indeed, this is what happens for for[3]).

[1] https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/cmd/compile/int... ("ctx" is a "targets" struct containing two entries, one for which statement 'break' targets and another for which statement 'continue' targets).

[2] https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/cmd/compile/int...

[3] https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/cmd/compile/int... (the targets{s, s} passed to innerBlock is then passed to blockBranches - s is the for statement node itself).

As a sidenote, it is interesting how easy Go reads even though i never wrote a single line of Go myself (though i do write a lot of C and Object Pascal and the code patterns look similar).

You can make an API that exposes exactly what a client needs, but then the server/client are tightly coupled (and it's not RESTful). What happens when you have multiple clients, and long lived releases with differing requirements.
This isn't a merchant though, this is just some guy who had some money transferred to him, that was silently transferred out.

Your complaint seems to be people are writing new tools.

You have provided absolutely no evidence that these tools don’t fit the Unix philosophy (and you cannot, because the 2 tools mentioned actually do a great job fitting the Unix philosophy). In fact, the first example is piping the output of ls into fzf. I’m not sure what could be more Unix philosophy like than that.
I always get the impression that it's "technical assholes" vs. "wise managers who should be brave enough to fire the assholes."

In practice: I see lots of assholes in management up to the director level, and the CEO doesn't do anything because they just hired their friends. Then, people just leave. Nobody cares because the issue of "tech assholes" is trendy these days.
If by ad hominem you mean in regard to the disingenuous and sanctimonious basis for many arguments against the sovereignty of financial centres, it is in reference to the quality of argument, and mere sarcasm is not moral high ground. Regarding the mechanisms of finance, I heartily recommend reading up on topics like insurance linked securities, catastrophe bonds, and other event driven insurance contracts that require managing long term collateral.

I'll leave any final words on the topic to you.

In my fourth year of not flying, I keep finding the choice to stop flying one of the best of my life.

I originally challenged myself to go a year without flying, anticipating on day 366 I'd be on a flight since I love traveling. Also I wondered how long I could put off family and work obligations.

But in that year, the things I replaced flying with improved my life more than flying did, so I went for another year. Now I have some lingering sense that I'll fly again, but the interest decreases, particularly as people's claims for the necessity of their flying increasingly sound like justifications for addictions and cravings, beholden to the values of systems they think are universal but aren't.
> "Flipping a coin until you get enough tails in a row" is a really good way to describe long term gambling

It's not. The correct way is saying 'flipping a weighed coin'. It can be weighed in or against your favor. If it is weighed in your favor, then you will never really have the 'until' part (i.e. get bust), if you also manage your bankroll wisely.
It will definitely matter (and potentially quite a lot). Whether or not it will matter enough to offset every problem is up for debate, but this is tractable and practical and we should therefore be doing it. As well as doing everything else we can do to solve this issue.

This whole story is asserting that there are programs routinely running around the internet indistinguishable from humans, making points so excellent they successfully persuade people to switch their political affiliation, which is simply false.

The theory isn't that bots are artificial general intelligences trying to convince individuals with clever intellectual debate. The theory is bots try to move the Overton Window [1] - to change what the average person thinks the average person thinks - by making certain opinions/arguments appear more prominent by repetition.

A bot doesn't need to be an AGI - or even capable of responding to replies to its own posts. All it needs to do is keep 100 accounts in good standing with reposts and low-effort comments, then every hundred posts or so a human operator jumps on to make a driveby comment like "LOL give it up Mickey Mouse is never going out of copyright" or "LOL we get it you vape" or "LOL it's the government, what did you expect?" or "LOL like America hasn't done the same thing but much worse" in an appropriate thread.

I do hope you don't do this on production servers!
I agree that this is a widespread problem in many areas but I do think there’s a strong argument that bots are worth singling out in the context of social networking, where the bots are often used to steer public opinion in non-obvious ways with no clear ownership. It’s one thing if Samsung’s support chat-bot is misleading but that at least is obviously linked to the company in question whereas, say, the fake Twitter accounts complaining about Nike using photo stolen from real people aren’t easily associated with whoever is pushing that campaign and the intention is clearly to shift public opinion. There are good arguments for preserving anonymity but banning misrepresentation seems more defensible.

(I mentioned the Nike thing not because this is limited to conservatives but because that was the most recent example which came to mind: there were a bunch of well-promoted tweets from accounts using profile pictures of attractive young women which a quick tineye search showed were long-running Instagram users under different names)

You might need to resort to this kind of childish stuff in grade school, but in the workplace, HR/management needs to step in and take care of it. The professional way to handle it is to directly address the person's behavior once, and then if it continues complain to HR/management in writing.
Not at all. I don't think a single m^2 of land has been or will be seized or bought for any of this.

Actually, I should have been more clear - this is just the money coming out of the government budget. Some unspecified amount of money is coming from private-public partnerships and from donations. The trees are being planted on deforested public land, or just private land where the owners are happy to have forests/trees up, or in public urban spaces. Pakistan has already been hit very hard by climate change - for example by multiple catastrophic floods in the past two decades. There is a lot of public support for this venture.

How Not to Get Paid for Open Source Work
I think you are right.

I also think it’s an issue, as this law is set up to start a cat and mouse game, where precedents are slowly established, while bad faith actors find other workarounds and run with it until new rulings are set, to then rince and repeat.

When it comes to spam or ads, iterating workarounds is faster than bringing cases to court, so the traditional approach is problematic.
How about contacting XR regarding your idea? Regards
I can’t get the whole article to load.. but my hot take is, for the most part, in all the places where the conditions are right for trees to grow, there are trees there already. The exceptions are just those places where the trees have been deliberately cleared by humans, to make room for agriculture or grazing animals (as in pre-Columbian America as I suspect the article points out). But allowing all those areas to regrow cant be sufficient: If it were, could you not make the argument that it was the clearing of all those areas in the first place that caused all the warming we’ve seen so far?

My grandma has an olive grove. When I last visited her, she offered me a jug of cured olive. I told her I find cured olives still bitter. She seemed very surprised and said she can't taste anything but olives recently. Maybe she leaves them a little bitter, because the bitterness is very "tasteable".

I find it interesting how olive is praised in places it's planted. It's not just my grandma who adores olive. If you chat with anyone from her town for enough time, they will surely bring the subject to olives, cured olives or olive oil.

What's even more weird is all abrahamic religions mention olive in their books.

Authorities don’t have to be infallible to have a better track record than anyone else. If they did, we wouldn’t have senior software engineers, we would have the pointy head boss writing all the code; we wouldn’t have doctors, as everybody’s home remedy would be just as good; we wouldn’t have CEOs, as communism would be correct and the workers would be more effective at running their businesses than the owners ever were (hello ironic counterpoint); etc.

Of course, everybody including authorities is capable of making mistakes. It is generally a bigger mistake to think you know better than they do. Not always, but generally.
