> Unless the rate at which eggs are being treated like this is changing, why would the increase in food poisoning manifest slowly over time? Why aren't we seeing it right now?

I suspect the rate at which eggs are being treated like this is in fact changing.

Other complicating factors include - various consumption rates and that earlier-consumed eggs are less likely to cause a problem, the difficulty of tracking back root cause on fungible items like eggs, where people typically discard the original container (with manufacturer, batch number, BB/UB dates, etc) and relocate into the egg compartment, the fact that in Australia most people put eggs in the fridge in any case, which will partially mediate the problem of condensation causing bloom damage for the day or two prior to them buying the eggs, and so on.

> Maybe if people aren't actually getting sick at the predicted rate, there's a problem with the theory.

More a hypothesis than a theory.

Identifying incident rates in an urban population for mild food poisoning is tricky, as there's no convenient way to acquire that data, further the lack of reporting, self-assessment / diagnosis shortcomings, centralised knowledge repository, confounding correlations, let alone then trying to identify what item actually caused the problem in any given person.

It's only about twenty years ago that people in Sydney AU had to boil their water for several months as there were two parasites - cryptosporidium and giardia - that were discovered to be rampant within the supply here. Prior to actual detection, over a good length of time, plenty of people were suffering stomach problems, often geographically grouped (I believe I heard at the time) just a lack of regulatory testing and difficulty in obtaining, let alone correlating data, hid the problem for a long time.

My hypothesis is based on the fact that those same two problems manifest in this case.

Availability of land is the limiting factor inside existing cities, but not for the development of new cities. To build a new city, your limiting factor would be a self-sustaining cluster of economic activity that can attract participants. And that's difficult to bootstrap for a lot of reasons.
Many years ago I was going to be traveling to Europe, and I thought to self, "Self, Cuban cigars are not illegal there. Maybe you could see what the big deal is."

My mental model was like yours, and like friends in college who fantasized about road trips to another state or Canada to find a bar that would serve 19 year olds. Not all laws are about the location of the act. Countries can and occasionally do bar their citizens from doing things anywhere, as was the case of Cuban goods.

There's also some weird extradition stuff that's been floating around lately that I can't make heads or tails of. There's definitely some fearmongering going on around it but I don't know if that means I should be concerned or dismissive.

And then there's one little idea. This may be crazy, but if the citizens of your country generally agreed that something was dirtbag behavior, you going somewhere where there is no law against it still makes you a dirtbag. Just a law-fearing dirtbag.
I sometimes keep U.S. grocery store eggs for months, in the fridge (I'm a bachelor living alone and don't eat eggs regularly) -- they totally last for months without going bad, all the time. Like I've kept eggs 2-4 months multiple times, months past the "sell by" date, in the fridge as we do in the U.S. -- have NEVER experienced a bad one.

Doesn't matter if they float either, that just means there's more air under the shell, which does mean they're older, but it doesn't mean they've gone bad.

thanks for your honesty; i think it takes some adjusting both personally and culturally from the company so not entirely your fault.

i would broach the subject with the team to the extent possible. i think it requires buy in from others to the extent that if you're getting stuck with regularity, then those with whom you work don't seem to be empowering you with either the autonomy or information you need to work async.

so, the company needs to resolve that either via empowering you (=> individuals), or get their knowledge/discussion norms set up to empower async/remote type stuff, to include such things as escalation guidelines (e.g. can use phone call for urgent matters, but gitlab issue is 24hr turn around), project planning, decision provenance/knowledge storage, etc.
I think HN should have a rule that if someone puts up a link that is behind a paywall, they should give some way to get around it. Like they should make the first comment a set of instructions, like disable JS or an alternative link.
Why do you think your analogy is at all comparable?
Have you considered just not doing domain mail, and just keeping a relatively small website that lists the board's emails, and just use personal/individual/free accounts? It makes sharing a bit more of a pain, and group lists not nearly as good, but it may be easier.

There's OwnCloud and similar, not to mention mail-in-a-box solutions. Most of which could be done on a $5-10/month digital ocean, linode or similar environment. For that matter, a small ISP hosting account may get you 90% of the way for less than $20/month total.

It kind of depends on your own technical expertise and how much time you can dedicate vs. a paid solution.

Edit:

Take a look at Cloudron on DO for an example. I'd probably do the mid-range $15 droplet, or the $10 one.

I feel like someone always chimes in to say this, but the underlying assumption here is that a significant portion of one's social fulfillment should come from their office workers, which I think is ludicrous.

Let's be real here, what percentage of people - especially engineers - really find that their social needs are being satisfied through their office jobs? After you or your co-worker leaves their job, how many ex-coworkers do you actually still remain in contact with?

I've always found office relationships to be fairly boring. Because they're you're co-workers, you have to keep a certain level of professionalism and political-correctness so as to avoid offending people. This basically confines the realm of acceptable dialogue to banal things like the weather and small-talk. If you want to say anything interesting about anything interesting like say politics, you basically have to first probe them to make sure they're not going to get offended and passive aggressively retaliate. Anything you do outside of work like a cool side project or that band you're in can't be seen as threatening to your dedication to your job, so it's safer not to bring it up.

And I'm prob going to get a lot of flack for this, but I think most office workers are fairly boring - going to work, going home to their significant others/kids, and waiting to retire. Or maybe they're really interesting but don't feel comfortable talking about interesting things at the office for the reasons I mentioned above.

Ultimately I think it's better to find social fulfillment on your own and not expect it in the office, otherwise you're bound to be disappointed. But I get that it's unfortunately hard to make friends after school. I think there are a lot of reasons for that, but that would require another long post that's outside the scope of this comment.

Elon Musk testifies he’s financially illiquid, court filing says
The model for banning cars from cities is either establishing a car-free core of less than a square mile, or establishing "superblocks" where car travel is only allowed on the perimeter of the block. Exceptions are made for deliveries and emergency vehicles, sometimes public transit, and sometimes resident street parking.

So, the answer to all of your hypothetical scenarios is that they drive. And then possibily walk the last bit, less than a quarter-mile.

I don't own a car, even though I take long trips regularly. I go hiking about 100 miles away once a month or so. (Rental car split with friends, generally.) I travel 300 miles about every two months to see family. (Overnight bus for a long weekend, generally.) Buying a car would be an awful financial decision for me. Not having to use a car for day-to-day trips saves me money and peace of mind.

I'm pretty sure that there are exactly zero units of the Iranian military that have independent authority to, for example, start shooting missiles at US Navy warships. They may be able to act independently once they understand that it's time to open fire. But to decide to start... that's a central command decision.
Sure, she looks. It doesn't always register to not run out in traffic though.
In the US, that's true.

In Switzerland, you won't find many places further than 10-15 minutes walk from a transit stop, and all the transit options are integrated so the bus is timed to connect with the train which is timed to connect with the boat which is timed to connect with the cable car, and they're all covered by your monthly/annual transit pass.
What does going places hundreds of miles away have to do with car-free streets in cities?
My property taxes are a combination of both land value and dwelling value. So property tax is a superset of land value tax (at least here in Iowa).

My understanding is that this is all screwed up in California because there are restrictions on how much your taxes can go up each year. So it's not an issue of needing an additional tax, it's just a matter of needing to un-break California's property tax system.

Because it saves google some hassle in policing shady monetary schemes. As soon as money is involved it is a massive hassle. Going outside of established monetary policy opens up a massive hole of shenanigans. Not to mention every app you download would have huge incentive to put up endless patreon/donate buttons that would go outside of googles carefully crafted walled garden, yet they would be held responsible for shady practices.

Ah, I see. That's presumably possible because Go has its own DNS resolver, and it (net.DefaultResolver) can be overridden by libraries; no LD_PRELOAD needed.
I do. I'm just not telling.

But quite a lot of birds walk, and a lot more of their dinosarian relatives did. Ostriches and emus favor it, when they are not running. Faster than we can.

Orangutans do it too, though not very often.
I disagree that a thing has to be decidable for there to be a relevant algorithm; an algorithm is a defined set of steps to take for a given input. And there is always the option of modelling social interaction as a decidable system then come up with an algorithm for the model (which is how most algorithms are used in practice, any decidable algorithm performs strangely in a physical world when it has to cope with cosmic rays hitting the CPU).

For people to be able to interact socially they have to make predictions about the consequences of their actions. That can be formulated as some sort of stochastic model. This is enough of a hook that algorithms can be used.

Anyway, that is fairly academic because in practice humans are obviously very predictable and tend to have quite stable personalities over time. There is a wealth of psychological literature classifying major personality traits [eg, 0] and most people respond in a normal way to incentives and social hierarchy with some adjustments for their cultural background.

Gitlab: don't discuss politics at work
If this is happening, it's 100% due to bad management. It means the employee wasn't given creative freedom and a strategic direction to go in. The very last thing any manager should ever do is punish their best employees (e.g. the person who can finish a whole day's worth of work very quickly).
We should have regulation to prevent that. There’s nothing wrong with ad-sponsored products but they should be clearly labelled as such. As it stands this is fraud.

How would you form strings by adding 'char' type values together? This is not about concatenation operation, we're talking about C/C++. They do not have syntactic sugar concat for chars.

(In C++, you of course have operator overloading, that's how std::string concat sugar works.)

'1' + '1' == 'b'. Because 49 + 49 == 98. ASCII '1' == 49, and 'b' == 98.
> Further, nobody accepts Bitcoin for anything material,

That's partially true. Off the top of my head you can convert it to bullion fairly easily [1][2] and there are DNM cash out services on most DNMs too, a lot of trust there but if you spread it out over multiple vendors and smaller transactions you could convert it to physical cash. Each transaction increases your risk of detection by postal police and by just getting ripped off by the seller or the mail carrier though.

It would be the same 40 minutes with a car sharing service? We could reduce the amount of cars by such service quite a bit. Just look into the cars any morning when you are commuting to work to see how many cars has a single driver. Think about that.
This article is from June. I've generally been a bit skeptical of Noam Chomsky's politics but this interaction seems prophetic given the current situation in Syria and makes me think that I should give "Manufacturing Consent" some attention:

>But as Patrick Cockburn pointed out in the Independent, what is happening in Afrin is about the same.

> AM: Happening where, sorry?

> NC: Afrin. Turkish forces and their allies are carrying out the attack in a mostly Kurdish area. Patrick Cockburn has covered it, but almost nobody else.

Doing some research on it, the articles I read in the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/10/11/who-are-kurd...) said that the Turkish offensive was "days old" while the Independent article Chomsky references (https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/syria-afrin-crisis-turk...) attributes a death toll of 220 to Turkey in March 2018.

> I’m guessing so many people on HN are anti-car because they live their lives through their computer and never feel the need to travel outside their immediate area?

I travel lots of places, by car, and I still bemoan the fact that several of those trips ought to be easily transited by rail but our rail system doesn't make it feasible to make those trips. If I'm anti-car, it's because I know that cars are used in many scenarios where transit alternatives are totally feasible; it's not because I don't know there are scenarios were cars are the only viable transportation option.
Hell, even walking if it's close enough! I moved to a place slightly under a mile from work and walking to and from everyday is blissful and life changing, even accounting for the weather.

You are right, maybe I should have said where the sub-100$/kg comes from.

In the first Starlink launch, with 60 satellites of ~230 kg each, the cost of launch was ~$30M (considering that the "retail price" of a Falcon 9 launch is $60M, I guess that half the cost if a good assumption). Thus, the cost per kg was $30M / (60 * 230 kg) ~ $2,000/kg. I just don't see how they are going to achieve a x10 reduction in cost, even considering reusability, larger masses, etc, etc.

Perhaps you weren't aware that the reason Jews have for a long time been so engaged in commerce is that long ago they got kicked out of their homeland and so many of them weren't able to support themselves any longer with their traditional occupations of farming and herding.

The Magic Frequency
Butter is best before. Honestly can't remember which date type eggs have - we've entirely ignored them for decades. Never yet encountered an off egg, but they do thicken texture a little if you use the months old box you find at the back of the cupboard. It was an experiment, k? :)

Use by we respect - but even then only ish. Mainly as there is a lot of slack built in that date to allow for people with a too warm fridge, or it sitting in their nice warm car for 2 hrs first.

Generally we just go the traditional route to gauge: Smell, texture, separating, colour change, etc. Milk that's turned is super easy to detect. Was even easier before homogenisation.
