I can't stand the taste of 100% potassium salt. The Morton's 50/50 mix is just barely tolerable. It actually tastes better than regular salt when used to season avocados, though.
Right, it’s all about the ratio. A group of us pointed this out to the planning commission in relation to the Central Soma Plan. It called for something like 32k new jobs and only 8k housing units (and IIRC, nothing about transit other than claiming through magic that existing muni, Bart and Caltrain service would suffice).

I’ve since moved out of Soma, as the commissioners and supervisors made it clear that while they understood the problem, they also didn’t have anywhere else to plop down tens of thousands of jobs.
SB-50 is the market-rate bill, but is just one of many movements to increase density.
The telecoms are also the content providers in many cases. There will be no mainstream scandal.
Well the parent seems to argue for at least only a very specific and limited catch. Perhaps the most common error is, say, invalid JSON. You wouldn't want to catch only the exception for that though. Maybe that's the most common, but who knows what other kind of subtle bugs might be in there. And the rule of thumb is that the web server process should never go down, no matter what kind of weird data you throw at it. That makes that indeed a case of catch everything, log it, and then move on to handle the next request.
Well, my ex-wife took up drugs and I became a single dad from the time my son was aged 2–after spending $80k I absolutely didn’t have on custody litigation. That’s in addition to a large six-figure mountain of back-tax debt and all the struggles of self-employment I’ve written about.

So, I suppose I can’t relate to PG’s essay. Of all the many possible eventualities I considered when having kids, this one didn’t enter into my imagination, and is not what I signed up for--especially in view of the foregoing hardships, even if they're ultimately self-imposed. Brilliant life choices and that.

Of course I love my son, and it's difficult to speak in terms of regret now that he's here. But I regret having him with someone a reasonable person (not me at the time) could have anticipated would not be a viable mother, and denying him (and myself) that. At the same time, it has inexorably altered my life and made it quite challenging.

To the extent the status quo is tenable at all, it relies on a large and expensive army of help and caregivers. Without them I don’t think I’d have a livelihood at all; we just don’t have 40 hour weeks in my industry that bend to a working single parent schedule, whether freelance or W-2. My son goes to daycare full-time but that doesn’t free up even remotely enough time and energy to sustain and grow my business, so a lot of other crutches are needed. Childcare is far and away my number one expense, greatly eclipsing housing. Even so, it’s all a struggle.
Now whenever I read articles of this type of statistical research, my mind immediately recalls Tyler Vigen's website and book... http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations
> If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual.

The property typically has an owner. This is the individual to which I was referring, though this is obviously a metaphorical application like you need to do applying the constitution to modern day.
I live in Chicago and concealed carry permits aren't difficult to procure, they're issued by the state of Illinois.
It seems that Dropbox was hosting all of the production data and being used as some kind of document store / db system in this story.
Service means you as the superior recognize everyone has an inherent moral and rational free will with which they make their own decisions. Your primary role is to serve as an advisor, like how the president is the ultimate decision maker, but surrounded by a company of experts. Or, serve as a keeper of peace and safety, protecting the average citizen from evil doers through enforcing the just law that applies to all equally, including the law enforcers.

Both of the above are very different than the benevolent ubermensch you describe, which assumes those of lesser abilities are inferior beings, like pets, which can be coddled and provide entertainment, but ultimately are lower down on the totem pole, like a Rick and Morty dynamic. What you describe is Aristotle's concept: that some humans are inherently the tools of superior humans. The Christian concept flips that on its head: the more talented humans should voluntarily serve as tools for the less capable.

On a practical ground, this is the optimal social structure on pragmatic grounds. If the Christian Imago Dei concept is correct, then all human beings have an inherent information creation capability possessed by nothing else in the world. Information creation is what powers the prosperity of a society, and thus the most prosperous society is the one that maximizes the ability of all to create information, as opposed to just optimizing things for a small elite.
Fork() Considered Harmful [pdf]
Those things I agree with it. The good open-source programs mostly are better than other programs in these ways.

Yes there will be many badly written programs (I think someone said that 90% of anything will be not very good), but there is good stuff too. I think it may be the case even with the closed sources, but in that case they are unavailable so we will not have any statistics about it.

I don't know about trains, but where I live in Australia buses can be up to one hour late.
I wish I had more time to thumb through this whole magazine page by page. Some interesting things I noticed in the first 100 pages or so: A Microsoft CP/M Z80 board for the Apple II; A 5.25" Floppy drive: A BARGAIN at $479 (About $1300 in today's currency) and a full 2 page CompuServe advertisement which included pictures of their data center, complete with major Big Iron.
It is actually worse than that. He isn't even asking why his employees have side gigs (hint: it is probably his own fault for not providing sufficient growth/learning opportunities at work.)

Of course no response is universal, but i'd venture that most people working at startups are seeking growth, learning, or excitement. They are probably giving up pay at bigger firms in exchange for this. If they are not giving up pay, they are probably at least giving up current cash and liquidity in pay (i.e., stock options instead of public company benefits/stock).

So if they are then doing side hustles, it suggest to me, the employer has messed up and is probably not providing sufficient growth opportunities at work.

Now, mind you, the employee is totally free to engage in [non competitive] side hustles, but not all want to. But if the workplace doesnt provide excitement, perhaps lets blame the workplace first?
No, the same way living in general is not the same for a poor or wealthy person. As I just said, finance is not the only part of the calculation nor has flat pricing led to crazy rich drivers everywhere.
Yeah I noticed CompuServe was just $5/hr, plus your call charges I guess.
Geez, does he not know about software keyboard layouts? The hardware keyboard in front of me has German labels on most of the symbol keys, but I mostly set Windows to use the US keyboard layout and use my memory. Curly braces are a pain in the ass (and fingers) in the German layout, because one would have to press AltGr (the right Alt button) and 7 or 0 to get { or }. You end up holding right Alt with your thumb and needing to stretch to reach for 7. [ and ] is AltGr+8 and 9, and they're also both ergonomic disasters, because you have to tuck your thumb underneath your palm.

Lastly, as he wrote, y and z are switched around on the German layout. An interesting quirk is that amayon.com and amayon.de redirect to Amazon, someone thought about all the suffering QWERTY expats.
WebMD? Seriously? The science on salt is quite debated, actually: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/heart-failure-and-salt-t...
Wow - I am surprised and delighted to see an article on recurrence relations with an implementation for Bessel functions. They don't make 'em like this anymore!
For administrative reasons to fund the system and as a first line of penalty.

Cost is a cost, regardless of how much you may care about it, but yes the larger non-financial penalties is what keeps rich people from driving however they want and shows that the system works fine as is.

Happiness = Money + Children http://archive.vn/LvxSN
There was no chemical change for me either, but it's weird to think the world revolves around my child. It doesn't. As parents we have responsibilities, and we try to make sure our child lives a balanced and peaceful life, but I don't spend every minute of non-work time doing stuff for my kid. Neither am I unhappier that I have a child to take care of, nor am I enthralled about it. It's just a part of my life man.
Looks like inflation makes $1 in 1982 about $2.67 today. https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1982?amount=1

So the Apple II+ were $4000+ in today's money. Still doesn't make the new Mac Pro look reasonable. :)

Those 80 column mono-color screens though, nice.
Population is a huge part of that equation and it's not talked about.

There are people going around shitting out kids left right and centre and I'm treated like the antichrist for wanting some bottled water.
If you live in a country that has municipal waste collection, the best thing you can do if you are concerned about plastic pollution is:

1. Don't litter.

2. Switch to clothes made wholly from natural fabrics such as wool or cotton.

The problem with large pieces of plastic in the oceans is mainly caused by people in developing countries who dispose of their trash by throwing it in a river (because the only other choice is to burn it). That's not to say that people in more developed countries don't also contribute to ocean pollution but in developed countries the pollution mainly comes from washing clothes, as large pieces of plastic are safely disposed of by municipal waste collection.
I am! RiftSketch is great. We just rolled our own because we needed OpenGL 4.5 and access to visual studio code within the VR window. So our live coding framework is a native desktop app that uses V8 to bind javascript calls to C++ and OpenGL 4.5, and the windows desktop mirror API to render the desktop, and visual studio code along with it, in VR. Apart from the C++ core, virtually all aspects of the application can be modified at runtime by modifying the JS files and simply saving them. JS files are executed on save, and structured in a way so that they replace previously loaded functions with new ones.
Or we could flip your question around:

Considering what a neuron actually does, shouldn't the default position be that the brain is a computer?
I’d be surprised if people are eating ramen so much it affects long term disease rates noticeably just because there are more restaurants. I also think Japanese could eat tonkotsu ramen a few times a week and still get less saturated fat than most Western diet eaters. Maybe salt could cause some acute condition though?
I think things are going the opposite direction with salt.

That is one study, but studies that are not finding any link between health hazards and salt are starting to pile up.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-t...

Lots of doctors are even starting to tell people that they don't really have to worry about salt unless they have a hypertension problem.
Good faith is required to accept any type of reporting. Otherwise, your question can always be extended to "How do we know that they didn't just make it all up?"

The researchers did not report conducting more comparisons and they did not adjust for this in their analysis, so we have to assume that they are telling the truth.

Of course, there's always the chance that they are being deceitful, so we have to reserve some skepticism and take into consideration related studies before forming any firm conclusions.

In this particular case, the correlations that they found have quite strong effect sizes with p < .001. Figures 2 and 3 are quite striking. These results are also supported by previous research. That doesn't mean the matter is settled by any means. It's just another piece in the puzzle. But there is no indication whatsoever that they are p-hacking or going on a fishing expedition.
The time it takes to switch power back and forth between units is problematic.
My first six months of employment at my current job consisted of going from one project to another that the C-levels listed as "a top priority for the company"--like, called all-hands meetings and told everyone about this great thing and how important the people working on it were--and then decided to cancel.

Two years later, that still happens from time to time.

So, from my point of view, it looks much more like businesses pay developers to write software to be thrown away. Which I guess is fine with me, as long as my paycheck keeps coming....
Give me a fucking break, this is so ridiculously sanctimonious.
Nice article but not convinced.

I see zero upside in having children.
Not surprising. In the China Study they also found a positive correlation between consumption of wheat flour and heart disease. (Some places in China eat mostly rice, others more wheat.)

Any new guesses on the mechanism?

Excellent belief Toyota! now start experimenting with some Lithium Ion batteries and a motor. Your neighbor Mitsubishi might help you with those.
Actually it's quite easy to get a residence/work permit in the EU: https://www.apply.eu/BlueCard/Germany/Germany.pdf

You more or less just need a university degree, a valid job offer, and you'll get a permit. For IT jobs they don't even demand that you're someone who's highly sought after in the field and whom the employer is willing to pay a lot more, the wage mentioned there is more or less entry level for IT graduates in Germany.
You need a shift in perspective in order to drive the behavior you want. It seems like past experiences have given you the mental lens of "I am inferior to others / I don't have anything that other people want."
This is going to give you a cognitive bias every time you interact with people. The brain is uncomfortable being wrong and will actually look for evidence that is not there in order to confirm a flawed belief that it thinks will "keep you safe".

To change this, identify what beliefs may be limiting you. Can these be boiled down to a more simple idea / level? Then challenge those beliefs in two ways: first with logic (does this actually make reasonable sense?) with the aim of inspiring doubt, then with daily controlled exposure with the aim of creating a library of small experiences that your brain can weigh against past evidence and form a new belief.

Action < Thoughts < Beliefs < Experiences

This is why most people suggest working out, taking a martial art class, going to bars, or other things because all of these help create that different point of reference- which is everything. There's many things you can do and only you really know what they are. More than likely, they're the things that you think about but feel hesitation over, and as I mentioned, there are a lot so by the simply fact that it's occurred to you it's likely relevant and worth trying.

I'd recommend seeing a counselor; it's great. Bonus points if they have a sense of humor... and try brazillian jujitsu.

And remember, you're not trying to sell things to people: people want to buy things from you and they need your help, and you're offering a service. If there's resistance, it's because they don't understand the value.

Good luck!
Yep. There’s a refusal to acknowledge this in polite company, as it definitely contravenes the party line. But I can intimately relate as a single parent conscripted into this role by an addict partner. My job hitherto was first and foremost and essentially "provider", and that's what I'm set up for.
The best worst thing I’ve ever read. No idea how they pulled that off for so long.
The authors state (the obvious) in the discussion: the correlation is likely not caused by ramen itself. Rather, the prevalence of ramen restaurants is an indicator of general food preferences in a particular region. The regions in question are known to have high salt diets.

The Mac //fx was $9000 in 1990 - $17200 inflation adjusted.
I don't think you have to assume good faith at all in these situations.

If someone comes up with a correlation of X statistic with Y statistic in a fashion seemingly coming from nowhere, they either say why they started studying the correlation or show the correlation is incredibly strong.

I think that's pretty much what "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" winds-up meaning.
It's more likely the salt than the wheat. From the article:

| The traditional Japanese diet was thought to increase stroke risk because of the heavy use of seasonings such as miso, salt, and soy sauce.
When I saw ramen shops in Tokyo they seemed to cater to people working long hours, or who were in a hurry, and were interested in eating standing up.
> 1/6 teams I've worked on have been women-free

If your average team size is 5 people, then on average, the gender breakdown in your company is 72% male/28% female. I assumed 80/20, so yeah, it's still pretty accurate.
Claims of Tether being used to manipulate the price of Bitcoin
Came across a Norwegian blog post, in which the author claims that Tether is being used to manipulate price swings in Bitcoin.

He's not the first to make the accusation. However, I thought it was interesting that he's also dug up transactions from Omniexplorer which shows the correlation between price swings and the printing of new money.

His rationale is that Tether floods the market with newly minted tokens at certain time points, buying up bitcoins in large numbers, while the same insiders profit from derivatives contracts.

A small increase in the price would yield massive profits when a position is being leveraged.

Has anyone looked into this, and what the status is?
And he praises the food in the ICE trains... It shows he's Australian and earned a lot at BMW, the food on ICE trains are severely overpriced.
Weird they think ramen is the only food with regional variation. And lots of stressed salarymen in Tokyo eating ramen but Tokyo is down the bottom. It's really this north-western part of Honshu.

Total guess, but when I was in Hirosaki once (red area), I went to this little restaurant on advice of an innkeeper, and they gave me this plate of green leaf and other tempura. It was huge and oily and they expected me to eat it by myself. I remember thinking at the time...this can't be good for my health.
When I was in Tokyo a bartender chatted with me for a while using a hand held stand-alone device that did voice (audio without relying on text) two way near-real-time translation.

It worked really well and I was confused I have never seen one before.
WASM as a Platform for Abstraction
> So the Apple II+ were $4000+ in today's money. Still doesn't make the new Mac Pro look reasonable. :)

A rich hierarchy of professional-grade desktop-ish-sized computers no longer exists because the PC architecture replaced everything.

The Mac Pro is the modern equivalent of an SGI workstation or - if we're talking late 1970s, when the Apple II was introduced - maybe a DEC VAX - both of which could cost up to a quarter million dollars.

It's actually unbelievable how cheap the Mac Pro is if you think in those terms.
Hi there, as a father of autistic son, I can feel You. But hang in there, your son is young enough for some interventional therapy. We pursued floor time therapy which is play based and it has helped our son since. OT and speech can go a long way in helping your child express them better and navigate their life better. If you do decide to send your child to a public school, make sure they can supper your child with special needs education program. They initially need a lot more of your attention but depending on now how their cognitive functions turn out they can go on to become more independent. Good luck, and if you need someone to talk to my contact info is in my profile.

I think that's largely due to JavaScript and its ecosystem of abstraction-bloat that has been mentioned in another comment here, along with the trend of "appifying" what should really be static sites. A static page that contains even dozens of MB of content won't stress a browser as much as a "web app" containing only a few hundred KB of countless JavaScript frameworks glued together --- despite the latter presenting a fraction of the actual content.
