Genetics and diet seem to be large factors in dental health.

Poor people tend to not be able to afford healthy foods and will often eat foods high in sugars, which are terrible for your teeth. Perhaps their parents couldn't afford toothpaste regularly, or floss at all, or could only replace their toothbrushes once a year or two. Perhaps the parents work all the time, and don't have as much time or energy to instill strong daily tooth hygiene habits in their kids or police their brushing.

As an anecdotal data point, a friend of mine always goes for regular dental checkups, and brushes and flosses daily, but still has tartar buildup and gum issues. He had to get a deep-clean, and was in pain and bleeding for several days afterward. I (foolishly) avoided going to a dentist for many, many years, and in that time did a mediocre (at best) job of daily maintenance. When I finally started seeing a dentist again, I got away with two minor fillings (my first ones, and they didn't even numb me at all for the drilling) and a deep cleaning, where I had no bleeding issues and the pain was gone within a few hours (aside from tenderness around the anesthetic injection sites). My gums aren't in great shape, but are better off than my friend's. Unknown as to why the outcomes are so different. I can't imagine what my friend's teeth would be like if he didn't go to the dentist and didn't have good hygiene habits.

First time hearing that, where did you get that?
Hm, 7100 USD for a single person seems pretty affordable. Sounds to me like the US healthcare system is a lot more affordable than they made us believe.

In Germany, with my income level, I pay about 17000 EUR (roughly 18600 USD) per year (of which my employer pays 50%).
So euro cylinders?

Joshua Foer goes into this in 'Moonwalking with Einstein', approaching from the view of a would-be mnemonist and how scrolls were far less efficient than books. OA touches on headings, indexes and tables of content, but Foer goes into more detail and discusses how these innovations made books a far more powerful way to store, index and retrieve knowledge. It's not exactly a deep dive but it might provide some roads into the subject.
Curiously, the world is a big place, filled with a variety of people who do things differently to each other.

I'm from 'The North' in Britain and I was raised to drink tea that would be bitter as hell if it didn't have at least a small amount of sugar and a light dash of milk in it. It's the sort of stuff that 'puts hairs on your chest' and gets me through a hard day's work, much like it did for my forebears.

I also like posh black tea on its own and I personally frown upon people who put loads of milk in the stuff, yet apparently quite a few tens of millions of people in India have it just so.

Crazy, huh?
Hmmmm I dunno...

You make software available to other people, for free. But it's for them to use it (else, what's the point ?). So you're exposing yourself to users and users behave like users.

It's not because you give away something for free that its value (and the way that value is recognized, for example, by being polite) is any different.

The only thing you get by making it is the right, as a creator, to make it the way you want. That's the freedom you get (and what a beautiful one). But it doesn't give you any power on those who'll use it (well, except for the license); in particular, you have no power to make the users polite.

Now, of course, I prefer to talk with people who are polite and who express gratitude for the work I do for free. And of course I don't like rude people. But making FOSS doesn't change the human nature of you users. Even if you put hard work in it, you sacrifice a bit of your life...

So, the overall tone of the presentation seems a bit off to me. I would have preferred something like : here's why we do it, what motivates us, the success, the failures,... But the user, well, they just are what they are, software can't fix that.

(in case you wonder, yes, I've made some open source projects, one success, on failure and guess what, the success, at least to me, was measured by the number of users).

“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”
Doubling checking if an email address exists
One major difference between reading on the web though is the mutability of the support. Content can change without notice, or simply disappear (though this has parallels with physical books).

I find the point of durability interesting, on how codices protected the paper better than scrolls, and had the side-effect of surviving longer and in harsher conditions. I believe the same cannot be said for digital supports: what are the chances that an EPUB file be readable (assuming file integrity and language liveliness) in the next couple of centuries ? Even if "digital monks" copy the contents of those books from one format to the next to ensure readability, at one point practicality of a paper printed version for long-term storage will prevail.
The study from OkCupid that I saw a long time ago showed that the top 78% of women were only interested in the top 22% of men (where top denotes a score that rates how often others are interested in you, the amount of messages you receive etc).

The reverse then meant that the bottom 78% of men had to compete for the attention of the bottom 22% of women. They retracted that study after a while, but other dating sites roughly get the same percentages eventually.

I agree that dating is basically marketing for yourself.

But dating sites are there for those who are generally bad at that. The requirement of marketing 101 to be successful on a dating site kind of defeats the purpose.

Bumble was founded because online dating is broken to a degree. Of course they're going to go to extreme measures to attempt to solve it.
As an example the ECB (European Central Bank, central bank for the Eurozone) declared exactly that [0], as I said in my original comment. The ECB, the Fed, the SEC (as you can read from the current HN article) all see crypto as securities and way too volatile at this time (something you don't want in a currency). This may change in the future but it doesn't change the current state of fact. Another important aspect is that accepting it as an official currency means it will have to be regulated like a currency, rather than a security or (mostly) unregulated like today.

The only major central bank that is truly dabbling in crypto is the PBC (that's People's Bank of China) and I think the consensus among people in the sector is that it's really a speculative move, just like most ICOs.

Edited for courtesy. It initially felt like one of the classic methods of arguing a fact on HN: request citations worthy of a PhD thesis for every single word. It's unfortunately all too common here to deter anyone from contradicting.

No, lipton tends to get the cheap crushed remnants of better tea, and only processes whats left to consistency. Others start with whole leaf, and then diliberately crush and seive it to a givin size (selling the remnants to lipton). Not to say its bad tea, just a bit cheap and oxidized. And if going cheap, luzianne (sp?) is the one to grab. Lipton is reserved for weak iced tea imho.
Software engineers are in such high demand in the US that we can't train supply fast enough. In addition, most tech companies tend to be clustered in areas with the highest cost of living in the country. Those two things combined are what serves to push salaries up.

If there were more doctors, they wouldn't have to work 12+ hour days. They are overworked and have to pack patients in because of the limited supply of doctors.

Dating threads on HN honestly could be confused for incel message boards on Reddit.

Some real quotes from this thread:

1. "As a male, it becomes very difficult to stand out if you are actually interested in someone."

2. "I know a few women that use Tinder: they are alone, late thirties and never got anything serious out of Tinder, but they use it to reassure their attractiveness"

3. "Bumble's rule is that Men are not even allowed to initiate contact...Given everything else happening in the world around gender discrimination, I find it interesting that a discussion around Bumble's practises has not come up."

4. "It's more like most women will go for 20% of the men. If you're part of the 80% you'll feel alone."

5. "All dating apps are filled with fakes and scams mostly perpetrated by those who own the app to milk you of your money."

6. "They're playing with people's emotions and not just giving them nothing - they're abusing people's most basic need of feeling loved."

Burner account because this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but guys: grow up. Stop whining. Stop blaming women -- they pursue the most attractive males just like you pursue the most attractive women, it's normal.

If you want to improve your dating prospects, get in shape. Anyone can get in shape, doesn't matter how rich or successful or handsome your face is.

Second, improve your social skills / join something. Volunteer somewhere. Join a run or hiking club. Don't just sit behind your computer and foam at the mouth how all the "Chads" are taking all the "Staceys".

HN has, IMHO, the best commentary about tech on the internet. And the absolute worst commentary on dating.
I meant to say with RTX disabled. Turning on RTX (and let's call DLSS free at this point) costs a performance penalty that's equivalent to meaningfully upping resolution or AA settings without RTX. And people prefer the latter. This might change as games start making better use of RTX functionality, but this is where things are today.

For n=1 I've played Metro with RTX on lower settings and without RTX on higher settings, and I prefer without. I think realtime raytracing came out a hw generation too soon.

Good. This might actually be the one good thing that Trump has accomplished.

Or that would have been my reaction until I read the article:

"Countries with more than 75,000 tonnes in post imported annually - mainly the United States - may apply their self-declared new rates from July 2020, UPU officials said."

So does 'mainly the US' mean 'only the US'? I don't want an exception just for the US because they are too powerful to ignore, I want the same rule to hold for every EU country. Replacing a rule where rich countries subsidize long distance mail from (former) poor countries with a rule where only small rich countries have to pay for that subsidy is really not an improvement.
Please be aware that this will significantly impact compression ratio. So much actually, that I don't dare use it by default. I'd often use the non-multithreaded mode as for some data (perf.data files with large stack captures, most recently) and reasonable compression speeds of >=50MB/s input multi-threaded modes are not pareto-optimal.

I'll get a small benchmark script for that done over lunch. Come back here later.
Do you have a background in distributed systems? In the same why the common advice with cryptography is, "one can build cipher unbreakable to the creator but not the world", the same way too "one can create a 'blockchain' that's unbreakable to the creator but not the world".

Git cannot provide byzantine fault tolerance. The fault tolerance it can provide is costly in human time.

Senior Engineer: Hi, I'm new here and have built a better blockchain. Let's use a chain of hash digest. It's way more efficient than PoW. It only costs .001/tx

CTO: But we need decentralized time stamping not the smaller set of always-online tamper detection.

SE: It's ok we'll be able to tell if the state updates change by monitoring the chain of hash digests. :>

[Months Later]

SE: Well, some attackers knocked our machines offline.

CTO: How do you know that the state updates between when the attack happened and when you got back online are valid and uncontested? You built some stupid slashing mechanism and if we publish invalid state our business goes under.

SE: We'll I'll have to go in to audit the logs, hopefully find some other people who have logs, and write software to see if maybe we can detect anything.

CTO: Isn't that going to blow up your transaction costs?

SE: I estimate 30k in total costs to do the audit.

CTO: so over our 800k customers that'll increase your tx costs to .038/tx, your hash-digest solution doesn't seem to be a cheaper alternative.

SE: I'm quitting to launch an ICO

CTO: Thank god.

Basically all the ICOs --Kik included-- are fraud: they won't be able to achieve what they claim to be able to do (governed by unavoidable physics, CS, cryptography, DS constraints) and punters have a myopic belief of what they can do. They gain market share by publicizing Bitcoin's very specific limitation. Bitcoin continues to chug along, is very clear about what it can and cannot do.

It's painful to have an appreciation for DS and a view into the cryptocurrency space, in the same way it's painful for a IETF network engineer to have the internet ossify around TCP and UDP. Yes there are drastically better CS primitives to engineer these systems with but the switching costs (social and economic) of transitioning a network are higher than the benefits.
As the parent of fraternal twins, I can say this was the biggest surprise. We have two absolutely and incredibly different children in one delivery.

I guess the other lessons learned were:

- as soon as you get comfortable with a routine, it changes

- they come into this world as their own people. You can guide them to find their strengths and weaknesses and give them tools to work with those, but it really is nature at the core and nurture only helps them to be better versions of who they intrinsically are

It seems like you can't even find any data-related articles before 2016. How things have changed. Really sad.

I agree that the distinction is not so clear; contrary to my statement. However, I think the distinction gets clearer over time. Nowadays, I try to prioratize agenda-free software over agenda-driven ones as much as possible.
