Great Highway [0] in San Francisco is my favorite example of this. If you drive precisely 35 mph, you'll hit green lights for about two miles. This works in both directions. I think it's possible because the lights are to allow pedestrians to cross the road, so there are no intersections with cars for the full two mile stretch. Still, I think it's a lot of fun.

I was more thinking about reducing existing subsidies for unhealthy foods like sugar and corn syrup. That stuff is cheap partially because of subsidies so it gets added to everything.

When I go shopping for example apples are quite expensive compared to a bag of frozen French fries. Lettuce is also very expensive. We could change this with smarter subsidies.

I was just pointing out that the vast majority of BBC articles posted on HN are junk ... did you mean to reply to me?

It used to be the case that BBC was a byword for reliability and impartial reporting but in my opinion it has really taken a nosedive in the last 15 years (my personal theory is the establishment gutted it after the 2003 invasion of Iraq because they were a little bit too impartial).

People see a BBC article claiming something controversial and they’re like oh my god this changes everything because they’re still under the impression it still has any kind of journalistic heft but really it is little better than buzzfeed these days.
Why fear super secret conspiracies like this? What we already know for a fact is horrible enough.
I had the same results from both a vegan diet and a whole foods diets.

Both diets largely excluded processed food (I'd eat tofu, fermented sauces in both, and some high quality ham in the whole food diet).

I think that the large ratio of vegetables and lack of simple sugars was the cause more so than the meat.

I get a similar boost when following body-building diets, these include simple sugars around training time and highly processed whey isolate. I have always used them to drop weight too so you're running at a calorie deficit. On those diets I've felt fantastic except the day after the binge day (you need to have a surplus once every 7-10 days to avoid starving).
From my reading on this subject, the sweet potato is what enabled the settling of New Zealand. It came from South America, and one of the stable trade routes in eastern Polynesia did run along South America.

"Pathway of the Birds" is the best reference available today on all this.
Title is misleading (see conclusion below).

It could also be interpreted that higher intelligence leads to delayed family formation (for a myriad of reasons), which necessarily involves less offspring.

Conclusion: The present study revealed a complex association between intelligence and childlessness. The mediated association between the highest stanine intelligence score and
childlessness was interpreted as an expression of delayed family formation. It is still unclear whether this delay in family formation will “catch up” if childlessness is measured at an older age, which raises the need for additional studies on the subject.
Yep, I feel a definite boost in decisiveness when I take my morning B12 lozenge. Which we should all be taking btw...
Your are assuming at least two things (there are surely more) about people who are struggling to raise kids

1) They have always been struggling, a didn't have a reasonable plan originally, and/or

2) They didn't take reasonable precautions to avoid pregnancy but still end up pregnant, and believe their best option was to raise the child

Both of these assumptions are clearly false in general although I don't know enough about the issues to hesitate a guess on percentages.

I was mostly thinking about (1). Someone with a partner and a solid household income can easily become a struggling single parent, for example, without having made any obviously bad decisions.
CVS, Walmart & many others created CurrentC to avoid the CC merchant fees through a NFC & ACH scheme instead. CurrentC failed by 2016, which is probably when CVS started accepting Google Pay and Apple Pay again.
The actual title should include "in men" as it does in the study.

> Results: No linear association between intelligence and childlessness was found. However, follow-up analyses showed that higher risk of childlessness was associated with the highest stanine intelligence score (two standard deviations above the normed average), and that this effect was mediated by whether participants had ever been in a relationship by their late twenties. No significant direct effect of the highest stanine intelligence score was found when the question of whether participants had ever been in a relationship by their late twenties was included.
I disagree. By interacting with a web server, you are inherently sharing some data with the operator like your ip address (so you can get a response back) or any request headers you choose to set (User-agent for mobile vs desktop sites, for instance). Nobody is forcing you to make requests to any particular site, and nobody is forcing to you include all this info. If you don't want your data spread around, don't do all that spreading.

I agree that using user-data outside of some agreement is bad (and illegal under the GDPR), but I believe that an implicit agreement exists between web-server provider and user that their data will be used for the mechanical operation of the website, including logging stack-traces. Otherwise TCP/IP wouldn't work.
Would be great to have a way to roll through time rather than just look at present day.

For those who are interested in this subject, the right book to go read is "Pathway of the Birds," which is a summary of the research to date. We know a lot now about this.
The only source study cited is of schoolchildren receiving a snack in a low income nation. This is bad scientific reporting, they way overstep their bounds, typical BBC article.
The motivation is different, that’s all.

When we were kids we needed to learn to hack DOS and Windows because our games wouldn’t run without them. Hard drive crashes, SCANDISK, reinstalls, fucked up drivers... whatever it took.

My kids can’t fix Win10 but now they know their way around web filters and how to hack Screen Time to bypass the shutoff. They’re trading pirated movies in gDrive and doing all kids of other stuff I have no clue about.

Nothing has changed. It’s just a matter of your point of view.

Ever time you manually click edit → undo, you'll see the shortcut.

Maybe you’re not sure what it means at first, but if you keep seeing it every day, you just might try hitting the sequence of keys at some point...

The best UIs naturally help you progress from a basic user to an advanced user, without you even noticing it. I'm not saying the traditional desktop UI paradigm is the best that can ever possibly be done, but it has had 30 years of evolution at this point, and it's pretty darn strong.
> Some people have more control over their circumstances than others. That includes parents providing (or not) for their children.

I don't think the majority of the poverty problem comes from otherwise well to do parents falling on hard luck. At least in South Africa and I would think most of the rest of Africa this is not the case. If people just made sure to be in a position where they have the capability to provide for children at the point in time when they have them the poverty issue will be almost entirely gone.

And already just something as simple as providing a two parent household and not having children before 25 already virtually guarantees that they will not be impoverished:

For something that's open-source, production ready thanks to the lovely folks at Mozilla, and ready to host on your own infrastructure check out Kinto[1]. Replicache and Kinto have overlapping feature sets, but my guess is that Replicache is probably a bit more optimized (especially if the delta updates are truly as small as possible). That being said, of all the problems I've run into implementing sync for my applications with Kinto, the size of update requests hasn't been one of them. Also while Kinto can support live subscriptions, the only plugin implementing them currently relies on a third-party.

The biggest difference I see between them is that Replicache sits in front of your server, whereas Kinto _is_ your server.

Disclosure: I'm a contributor to Kinto, primarily working on transitioning the JavaScript libraries to TypeScript.

Seriously BBC?

The plant based diet (the diet component of being vegan) is found adequate by the WHO for all stages of life.[1]

Now this article if full of picking some studies that have proven that in some case something was wrong with a some form of plant based diet, or less optimal than the form of omni diet the control was on.

And this is true! There are unhealthy plant based diets, and there are quite healthy omni diets. And --thanks BBC for pointing it out once again-- us plant eaters should be careful of some nutrients we may lack (as should omnis) AND some forms food we may over consume (as should omnis). Pretty much the only one that plant based eaters are more lacking in than omnis is B12. Otherwise plant eaters usually score overall BETTER than omnis, but sadly the BBC leaves this information out of this article (meat industry promo piece), gladly they published this kind of info in a separate article 5 DAYS EARLIER.[2]

There are a whole lot of diets within the plant based diet. A particularly healthy one, according to research, is the Whole Food Plant Based diet. And most MDs (which are quite a few) recommending this diet do underline the need for B12 supplementation (both in plant eaters and in omnis).

While this article come with a study of 555 Kenyan kids being given omni food scoring better than the group given plant food. Ok.

Let me show you this study:

> In a large representative population study of more than 8000 British men and women, intelligence in childhood was associated with a vegetarian diet in mid-adulthood, and this was independent of educational attainment and social class.[3]

It's bigger (n=8000), it in a developed nation (UK), it controls for all kinds of factors and concludes a correlation between intelligence and vegetarianism. No causation though. But I recon the 555 Kenya school children study also did not prove causation.

So? Why would the BBC publish such a piece? In clear contradiction to something they published 5 days earlier? An article that cherry picks to the point it's sneakily suggestive? Every one may judge for themselves but I think it is paid/compensated journalism, at a govt owned outlet. Needles to say, the BBC lost some more point for me today.

I recently finished reading a book called The Sixth Extinction. It has an entire chapter devoted to ocean acidification, it's causes and repercussions. The whole thing was terrifying and weirdly calming at the same time. On one hand it feels too late to do anything meaningful to even effect the anthropocene. On the other hand, if the course is unchangeable, them maybe the only thing left to do is to sit back and watch the train wreck happen.
Your parents likely fought more than you'd be aware of, in the argumentative sense. Unless you're trying to claim you were raised in the first household in history with absolutely no conflict? Your binary viewpoints belie the superiority you're projecting.

> How do you justify tapping the productivity of a Boeing working in Renton...

Well, the direct answer is: these are all Americans, and all pay some kind of tax to their city, county, state, and ultimately the country, in theory so they can draw on the shared resources of the nation. That's how you justify supporting the kid in Mississippi and not the kid in Cambodia.

As for rationally holding the belief that people can have as many kids as they want, and those kids will be cared for, yes, you can hold those simultaneously. I don't want any kids in my country to go hungry; how many siblings they have or what choices their parents have made are irrelevant to those individual kids' needs being met. There's no conflict there.

We live, as they say, in a society.
16" pros are not popular. Nobody wants to lug that thing around. The Mac Pro is just too expensive. I know people who used to buy Mac Pros and were forced to get iMacs.
All I did was push the faders up a single decibel and, boom, you could feel the difference. It was kicking and he loved it. He said: “Print it!” I told him: “But that’s the demo!” Sly said: “I don’t give a fuck what it is.” That’s his attitude.

There's a really good documentary on Netflix about Clive Davis, the Arista Records founder who has probably discovered and mentored more stars and hit records than anyone on the planet. There's a segment about the Whitney Houston soundtrack for "The Bodyguard" and "I will always love you." The recording almost didn't get made at all (the movie studio was reluctant to have Houston do it for some strange reason), but when the demo came out it was so good that they just went with it, and didn't want to risk messing it up with additional production work.

Davis, incidentally, was a corporate lawyer in his mid 30s with no musical background when he got started in the music business in the late 60s. He realized there was a major shift in pop music, and further had a "magic ear" for hits (this comment was made by Bob Weir) in many pop genres. In the documentary Barry Manilow basically says his only hits he had were the ones that Davis pushed him to record (I believe from other songwriters).

This pattern of Davis and his A&R teams working on the hits was repeated with many artists over many decades. Only a few musicians who were signed to his labels (Patti Smith and Kanye among them) were given a longer leash and more independence.

I didn't tell her that I record that she's arrived. Legally, I don't have to because she's in my house.

Ethically, it never occurred to me to tell her. But if I did I don't think she'd be surprised since so many of my neighbors have live-streaming cameras in their homes. Most of them not even hidden -- they're right there on the kitchen counter or on the piano with a blinking light.
They have a lesser conversion rate, but what most paleo/anti-vegan arguments neglect to mention in terms of plant omega-3 sources is that if you simply eat more total ALA, the net omega-3 will be the same to your body. Seems obvious, but people never seem to acknowledge that. It's not such a lesser conversion rate that this isn't practical or possible. Not to mention there's studies showing alternative benefits of ALA despite having less conversion rate overall. Similarly with krill oil -- there's less EPA/DHA compared to fish oil per gram but it's utilized differently by the body and has shown variations in bioavailability when measured (krill vs fish oil is an ongoing topic of interest).
I’m agreeing with you but adding my experiences for the discussion.

I was playing indoor soccer, and I noticed one of the opposing players had an apple watch on.
I wanted to complain the ref about it (jewelry and wearables are not allowed during games), but then I realized that at least 1/3rd of the players had some kind of watch (including my teammates).

You didn't see them during games a couple of years ago... so I guess they opened a new market and people are used to them.
I think we completely rule out cases where people were in a good financial position and could provide for children and cases where people were using birth control child poverty will remain virtually unchanged.

They stopped doing that multiple quarters ago because it wasn't growing and they want investors to focus on other parts of the business and not just the iPhone.

If you believe the strategy laid out in the parent comment to yours, then it isn't a red flag at all. For the last 10 years, the number 1 thing that contributed to Apple's growth was the iPhone. They don't believe that will be the case for the next 10 years.

I think they should release those numbers for investor clarity, but I don't think it's a red flag.

No offense, but is it possible your life experiences have you subconsciously looking for a political angle? I could be wrong, but the idea that "so acidic" is misleading because we're talking about values on the basic half of the ph meter is just way out there to me. Again, I can't see the difference between this and saying that 40 degree F water is "so warm" in some specific context, where in an information void that sounds cold. Similarly, acidity and alkalinity are purely relative in all my experience of the usage of those terms, both scientifically and colloquially.
