3 quotes from the discussion (Section 15):

(1) "In this paper, we have developed an argument that the
alarming rise in the incidence of celiac disease in the
United States and elsewhere in recent years is due to an
increased burden of herbicides, particularly glyphosate
exposure in the diet."

(2) "A recent estimate suggests that one in twenty people
in North America and Western Europe suffer from celiac
disease (Koning, 2005; Fasano et al., 2003)."

(3) "Table 2 summarizes our findings relating glyphosate
to celiac disease. All of the known biological effects of
glyphosate – cytochrome P450 inhibition, disruption of
synthesis of aromatic amino acids, chelation of transi-
tion metals, and antibacterial action – contribute to the
pathology of celiac disease."

No but they would have the financial ability to withstanding speculative investment losses and (theoretically) have the financial means to hire lawyers and advisers to review investments before making them. Otherwise you'd have grade school teachers and firefighters individually risking their entire retirement on a Series A for their brother-in-law's "next sure thing" rather than their pension plan manager doing the due diligence.
I'm an early adopter of 4k60. If you write code and you're not on 4k, you don't know what you're missing. 4k is great.

Back then display port ran at 60fps, and hdmi ran at 30fps. My hardware has changed and moved on, but I still default to using a display port cable. It's rare to not find a graphics card without display port, and it's rare to find a monitor without one, so I've never had a reason to try HDMI. As far as I can tell it's a stubborn format that continue to fight to live on. Frankly, I don't really get why we still have HDMI today.
i3 ruined my life. It's an absolute delight to use, particularly when programming. However, its hard to get Linux laptops at work (Mac or Windows), and I constantly miss i3.

Also, among all tiling window managers, I think its config is probably the most intuitive to mingle with. Hardly ever breaks (if ever) between upgrades, and default workflow is very intuitive and explicit. Other window managers (eg. Awesome, xmonad) have pre-defined layouts, which (for me at-least) create more confusion than value.

PS> I think I've been using i3 since 2010 something.
I didn't elaborate too much in the first post, but this is the gist of it.

Any search that was enabled by a dog should be considered "fruit of the poisoned tree". Between their lack of accuracy and a dog's bias towards its handler, they should not ever serve as a basis for search or arrest.

When the justification for initial stop/search comes up in court, the dog's hit is held up as incontrovertible proof that a search was justified. Courts have upheld their use many times, all the way to SCOTUS IIRC.

This approach is far to prone to misuse by law enforcement. It's bad enough they can pull you over without cause (most states have loosely defined "irregular driving" laws), they can initiate a search of your car just as baselessly.
It has always been my guiding constellation along with Karlsvogna (Big Dipper), as it's very often visible in the night sky where I live.

Bingo. Look at the fallout from the mortgage crisis/scandals. Buying a house is a straight forward investment. People were getting into mortgages without even understanding basic borrowing rates.

Move semantics are a great addition to C++, but off the top of my head, there are two warts:

- C++ moves are not destructive (as compared to move semantics in Rust). This means that types must arrange for a valid "moved-from" state. This isn't a huge issue if the type has a natural sentinel value, but not all types have one and I often end up wrapping class members in std::optional to arrange for one. Frankly, this is annoying, because I now have to pay the overhead of std::optional for no good reason (and also use a C++17 compiler, which is not always available).

- the syntax for rvalue references and perfect forwarding references is the same, which is the cause for much confusion, especially among beginners. I happily used move semantics for a year before I realized that rvalue references and perfect forwarding references are distinct concepts.
Prices here are incomparable to the US due to tax, but a model S starts at 90k if you accept it being only available in white (nobody does at that price). If you pick any other color, reasonable rims and a "luxury interior" as you would expect on cars in this price range it's 110k to 120k euro. That's more than a full option BMW 5 series or Audi A6 and comparable to a very high-end Audi A8 or BMW 7 series.

Not sure about Mercedes, but I guess they gave you an A or B class without much luxury options as a loaner. I've seen those as rental cars as well, not great compared to their higher end cars. That would be a 30-40k kind of car here, the model 3 starts at 64k if you pick anything but white and want long range (not performance), and that's excluding autopilot.

So in my opinion they're pricing themselves into a market their cars can't really compete in.

The complexity comes from small things.

Not being able to use html closes a lot of doors. Have you ever wanted to just copy and paste html into a template script tag and have it render? With react you need to convert that first..

I want to grab a json list and display it in a li tag. With vue I fetch, assign to a variable and in the template v-bind it. With react I would write another component for the li maybe do a foreach.

Watchers existed in jQuery. Not sure they are so difficult one would choose react most people would just avoid them.
My relative had mental breakdown and was forced to go to the psychiatric hospital. After few years it repeated because he stopped taking his prescribed pills and now he does not want to go there himself, logical reasoning does not work at all. It's a terrible situation, calling medics and forcing person to go to the hospital does not sound like a good idea, because he'll hate you for that and keeping it unchecked might do no good either. Neuroleptics are not harmless, they make person very slow and apathetic, they kill all feels, that's why some people want to stop taking them. I can't imagine anything worse than mental illness.
Imho this is a fallacy.

I would argue that in order to fully and truly understand some code you have to be able to re-create it from scratch. E.g. to explain weird constants, data structures, design decisions, estimations on complexity. Hence, in my eyes, the intelligence required to perform those tasks are the same.

But, there is a backdoor. Solving problems needs immense creativity. Not everyone that easily grasps a piece of code (a domain expert, savant, MIT wizard) could have written it. To my eyes, that doesn't mean that the savant is necessarily of inferior intelligence, but likely less creative in this area.

And right now Tesla / Panasonic is maxed out in their battery production (still a scale that all other manufacturers fundamentally don't have the ability to do, much less profitably).

If/when Tesla increases battery production beyond its storage and car/semi lines of business, they will probably acquire/merge other car companies on the cheap.

The only thing that can eliminate Tesla's advantage is a catch-up solid battery tech that everyone has access to, and even then Tesla will have lots of infrastructure advantages.
Based on the seas today as seen from the drone-ship camera, I wouldn't be surprised if they're willing to launch in conditions sub-optimal for recovery (but sufficient for launch) because the data they gather from a launch failure is still valuable and hitting a launch window is worth more to them than missing it and recovering stage 1.

Not quite the same as intentionally launching to crash, but it has a notional morphism to the site-reliability-engineering concept of "burning your error budget on a high-reliability system to satisfy other tradeoffs."

When you're browsing text, though, it's more common to move up and down in text than it is to move sideways.

If you're typing with proper form, "hjkl" results in the index finger moving down and the middle finger moving up. So, your most useful finger is used for the most common action, and your second most useful finger for the second most common action. What's probably the third most common action, moving left would be done with your index finger, and right with your ring finger. You'd never have to use your awkward pinky finger for anything.

With "jkl;", you'd be moving down with the middle finger, and up with the ring finger. Your dexterious index finger would be waiting for the moment when you'd want to move left, which is not as often, and you'd be encouraged to use your awkward pinky finger quite often.

This isn't necessarily the case when working with windows, but by now it's a matter of consistency. Although, encouraging to use the pinky finger and not being able to use the index finger for 2 actions still sucks.

I wasn't implying that YC had changed, just that I can't tell what the reasoning is anymore. The second link is an interesting thing to link, because the reason I included the last line (along the lines of "I guess it could be sold to a malware vendor or something") was more or less because I was thinking on that; I took my time to think, and couldn't find many optimistic things.

My only other guess outside of the one listed is that it could be sold to Facebook or twitter after getting a large audience, because it aligns with historical acquisitions somewhat.

I'd be happy to be shown wrong in a year (I'd literally take anything over what I imagine is going to happen to it), but presently I'm mostly just confused.

Responding to the edits I only noticed after responding:

"Don't be discouraged if what you produce initially is something other people dismiss as a toy. In fact, that's a good sign."

I wasn't trying to discourage the people making the extension! I was mostly seeing if I could get any spare guesses as to what YC's mindset was when thinking about this.

Regarding whether what it's combating is a big deal:

Certainly, but I'm not sure if the solution to all of those is...a new big tech company, to put questions of profitability aside. It seems partially like bait to be acquired by a social media company, or Nielsen (which is a literal malware company at this point, they pay users to MITM their connections; a way to get the same data without paying seems like something they'd love).

Met this issue on my 2015 MacBook Pro, tried to connect a 4k display with HDMI only to find out that it can only display 4k at 30hz. I thought it was only a configuration issue, but seems like MBP can only do 4k@30hz when connecting with HDMI (it uses HDMI 1.2 IIRC). Works properly with a DisplayPort cable though.
>C++ moves are not destructive, as they are in Rust. This means that types must arrange for a "moved-from" state

Using an object that has been moved from is only required not to lead to a crash - the object needs to be in a "valid but unspecified state". If there's no sentinel value, you can leave the object in pretty much any state at all, and it's on the caller to not do anything silly before resetting it. There's also https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/bugprone-use-..., which will detect any such silliness.

Editing in reply to child comment, because I have been banned:

Firstly, I thank you for clarifying that he did not literally leap into the train's path at the last moment, but rather sat calmly in front of it awaiting annihilation. This has much more gravitas and speaks well to our fallen brother HNer's character (one never stops being an HNer). Secondly, I feel that ostracizing him from this above-ground tech forum led him to the dangerous places you discuss.
There seems to be an easy fix for this on Google's end. When their automated systems see fraudulent activity on a site, instead of banning it entirely, they can peg their future revenue to their historical revenue.

This way, malicious publishers will have significantly limited incentive to engage in such behavior. In the short-term, their upside is heavily limited. And in the long-term, they risk being caught and banned.

And at the same time, malicious blackmailers will also lose most of their leverage, like in the example given above. Even if the victim doesn't pay up, their income stream still remains mostly stable. And meanwhile, the attacker is spending a ton of resources on generating fake traffic that isn't earning them any money. This will eventually lead to the "business model" going extinct, which in itself solves the problem as well.
Starlink satellites that are already impacting astronomy. Yay....? https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/starlink-sate...
The author of this article is a very impressive and credible person, but there’s little new covered here. It’s kind of circular logic confirming things already revealed. The individuals referenced are not impartial and are biased by a quest for exotic technology research going back decades. They’ve used their affiliation with the Intelligence Community to enchant investors, all of whom have lost money.

The most compelling revelation is that the Director of the DoD SAP Central Office reportedly told Congress that these aircraft are not US black projects.

Two key points that suggest this topic is driven by an unknown private entity with complex financial incentives:

1) This is essentially what KG (in the article) has said in regards to the UFO core story and the alien autopsy samples and 2) It was KG who first pitched Robert Bigelow on building a pseudoscientific device to communicate with Bigelow’s dead son. This was in the early 90s and happened at a retired Army Cornel’s house. This is how Bigelow got into paranormal research.

What is undeniable is that Elizondo and Semivan work for a company that gifted a widely known stock scammer $1.5 million and is now on the TTSA board. Explaining this is hard beyond normal human folly.

Botnet IP addresses have kind of a high churn rate. One person notices their computer is acting funny and gets it cleaned, another person gets newly infected. Somebody unknowingly has an infected laptop and they go plug it into a dozen different wifi networks over the course of a month, causing requests from a dozen different IP addresses that are each also shared by legitimate users.

The result is that half the IP addresses on the internet have had bot traffic at one point or another, often at the same time as they have legitimate traffic.

I was helping a guy with some text-based game he was working on that had some pretty clever bits of code for constructing scene description text.

The problem was that once in a while you'd just get some garbled text on the screen.

Eventually I figured out why: Some of the sentence fragments were malloc'ed, others were returned from the stack. Once the description got over a certain number of bytes he was smashing his own stack. I say 'his' but the problem was introduced by an earlier collaborator.

Buddy, I really want to help you with this but I (much younger me) am not up for unwinding a use-after-free bug of this level of recursion. Good luck, I'm out.
> police forces seem to treat a positive result as sufficient cause for an arrest

My impression from watching too much COPS and LivePD is that police don't really see arresting people as that serious, "They'll be out in few hours". For the people they arrest most often it's probably not that big a deal either. But if it's your first ever then your lifestyle is under serious and permanent threat.

EDIT: Removed "middle class". Getting arrested is terrible no matter what your economic or class status is.
Simple first steps: Every worker that just uses a computer and a phone is converted to a remote worker. Close down the huge energy wasting office towers and eliminate commuting emissions. The famous 'build a HQ2 with 50,000 new jobs is totally wrong. Build 50 offices across the country with 1000 employees. Build affordable housing next to new office buildings. Get rid of all of the private jets moving people.
