This is what futures contracts are for. They are settled with a physical delivery or in cash, depending on the contract.

Futures trading is a prediction market. If you produce a commodity, you could, for example, place a sell order that is settled on a certain date in the future, and if you’re lucky, the market price will be below that of the price set in the order.

The buyer of the future will then purchase the commodity from you at the agreed price, or for cash settled futures, he’ll pay you the difference.

If the market price is higher, the difference is paid to the buyer, if the future is cash settled.
Mobile Google search is atrocious for my preferences. I pretty much avoid it entirely at this point.

I have a fair amount of experience with ketone esters and did some research. They taste terrible, but not as bad as I expected and definitely wasn't a deal breaker for me. I got more used to it over time. They're great for fueling from fat instead of glycogen, especially during exercise, (was very helpful for not having to down a ton of gels during a marathon) and not very helpful for weight loss (as you suggest).
Do you have any supporting arguments or reasons for that?

Maybe. They definitely pushed their bodies to extremes. But then a lot of people half destroy their bodies by sitting on a sofa eating Haribo. At least they generated some useful adaptations and learnt something from inflicting voluntary hardship on themselves.
I think that some of the science adjacent podcasts which provide in depth show note and literature analysis for people willing to pay 10/15 bucks a month are a step in that direction.
Right. They don’t care about having data about “you” in particular, they care about having enough data about enough people to sell ads effectively.

Marketing to you doesn’t make them money. Marketing to many, many people roughly like you makes them money.

You yourself are only a tiny and statistically irrelevant piece.
It depends on how you look at it. I want to be specific in my searches, which is why I often use quotes, things like `site:somedomain.com`, etc.

That said, that means that DDG is not for everyone. If people want to use Google because they prefer NLP, that's fine, but Google users who trash DDG because it's not smart like Google are totally dismissive of DDG's utility or why people choose it. DDG users on HN, on the other hand, at least seem to understand why people choose to use Google, and I don't think any appreciable number of them expect a large portion of the market to shift towards DDG. In fact, I don't think they believe that DDG is necessarily better. A lot of users, such as myself, use DDG because the UI is a little simpler and because they don't want Google to dominate their life, the compromise being a more stupid but still useful search engine.

Not everyone wants NLP. I dislike NLP and think that it's turning out to be a joke in a lot of ways. When I use natural language with Google, it often doesn't understand my intent, and it even ignores obvious keywords. This is true for pretty much every service or device I've used that has NLP. I don't want it. If others find it useful, that's great, and they should use Google in that case. I don't want it, and that doesn't mean that my chosen tools are "worse".
Through a lot of experimentation I found that pair programming can help in many cases: onboarding, code reviews, design & architecture and others (https://www.togetherwecode.com/articles/seven-ways-explore-p...).

It doesn't always work for me, but I found that it offers a surprising amount of benefits.
I find it really hard to try things I'm not sure will work, or noodle around, or feel my way toward a solution, when someone's watching. Just incredibly uncomfortable. Since those sorts of things are where a lot of my value comes from, count me out on PP. It's fine in very small doses for specific purposes when both people want it and are already comfortable working together but I'd go fucking crazy being forced to do it every day on a schedule.

Agree, news search is the thing I go back to google most for.
Without watching a 45 minute video, I assume the argument is something like:

> whatever system most effectively leverages comparative advantage / generates the most wealth / most efficiently allocates resources is that which is most humane, because it has the possibility to lift the most people from poverty, from inhumane conditions.

It is, of course, up to societies to regulate the allocation of those resources to maximize the realization of that possibility.
To feel authentic, you might have to betray your true nature
Oh yeah, fully agree about that.

It just seems the SETI@Home (and other BIONC) projects seemed to attract people that do that kind of thing. Haven't seen it with anything else before, though I'd kind of expect cryptocurrency miners would have been similar. ;)
These are ketone ester drinks, but nothing really mainstream or in energy drinks. Esters are far too expensive and the taste far too bad for that. Most people have never even heard of these, in my experience.
Can you expand please? From my observations the last thing capitalism provides is choice, considering most people I know who aren't fortunate enough to have passions that translate into big money (like software) absolutely despise their jobs.

The Do's and Don'ts of the Minimum Viable Product
What is the current, best thinking on managing LDL, especially while doing paleo?

I got huge benefits from paleo and partial calorie restriction. The biggest being my very bad psoriasis all but disappeared.

But it also spiked my LDL.

The statins didn't agree with me. I settled on eating every kind of soluble fiber I can find. eg: My morning porridge is steel cut oats, quinoa, chia seeds. I also resumed eating high(est) fiber rice.

Alas, all these seeds and grains have carbs.

I'd like to find strategies for high soluble fiber while reducing carbs. Even better, would be managing LDL directly.

PS- I spotted u/eatmyshorts comments about LDL and misc.
The only monopolies and trusts that existed for any length of time always had the backing of state government. Whether it's the royal crown establishing the east india company or local governments awarding exclusive access to local cable companies monopolies have always depended on state government.

The problem with sustainable monopolies in a free market is that there are a hundred thousand ways to skin a cat. Even if a particular business has a lock down on a particular resource it can't control alternatives. The only way a monopoly can be sustained is that businesses price things so low that there isn't any profit in competing against them with alternatives. And that is not really terrible and is not likely sustainable anyways.

Most people seem to operate under the misconception that somehow large corporate interests and large governments are opposing and balancing powers.

This is untrue.

Large businesses and large government are interdependent and complimentary. They feed into each other. They need each other. If you want bigger business you need to have bigger government.

The sort of ultra concentration of capital in the hands of a tiny minority of businesses and individuals wouldn't be possible without the government creating a regulatory environment to ensure that it happens first.
Since they’re starting some kind of email service, I think it makes a lot of sense to invest in a short and simple domain name. I wouldn’t switch to an email that required me to have a long or hard to explain address.
I was once responsible for an office network where on a semi-regular basis the entire network would collapse and become unusable. It took several days to work out that it collapsed when one particular user came into the office, and even longer to find that the Sonos iOS app does some STP magic which didn't cooperate with the cheap wireless router we were using.
The main argument for Capitalism is the NAP and the removal of physical force or threat of it.

As for cartels and monopolies, if you take a look at late 19th to early 20th century USA, where business could in fact form cartels and monopolies -- they were formed, but didn't last. They were ruined by both new competition and by "price busters", the cartel equivalent of a "scab".

That is one of the origins of "progressive" legislation. It seemed that the most efficient way to preserve monopolies and cartels was to use government. Indeed, the original meaning of the word wasn't a "large share of the market", but "exclusivity given by government".

EDIT: Show yourselves, downvoters. Give a rebuttal.

Artificial intelligence as a central banker
> A lot of DDG fans on HN blame the user or social conditioning and use that as a crutch.

The tools are different, though, so searching the same way on DDG and Google will lead to different outcomes. This is no different than adapting you speech when speaking to an infant or speaking to an adult. [1]

For example, I use DDG as my primary search tool, and I have a habit of using "keywords", rather than natural language, when I search DDG. (This may be an outdated habit from my long exposure to search tools.) With modern Google though, I find that if I follow my habit and use keywords, my search results are poor. I have better results using natural language. As others have noted, I have better results when searching Google when I don't know what the thing I'm looking for is called, or when I'm looking for esoteric content (like code samples.)

[1] I'm not saying that switching is easy or even ideal, I'm just underscoring that different tools are... different. ;-) And "knowing" how to use search well is kinda hard these days, as everything keeps evolving, and we're all busy doing other things.
Am I the only one who thinks it would be pretty cool to hook this up as SaaS product that sends me an alert when I get a new offline conversion? Kind of like how my credit card sends me a push notification when I get charged for something. I like the level of transparency it provides.

Then you could also do something on a case by case basis where you can click to say “I don’t want Facebook to have this offline conversion.”
As a student who recently spent their savings on a Macbook 16 inch, just to have it stolen shortly after I really would have preferred selling it for cash would not have been an option for the thiefs.

in the same manner, I gladly would have accepted mass surveillance if it meant the thief would actually get caught.
At the subscription plans you have a weird looking outer border which wraps the four plans. I would just drop it, looks much better without it.
I've made a game out of it, anytime I see an ad (and have some free time) for a "revolutionary" product or one that is obviously too good to be true I go searching for it on Amazon/Aliexpress. Often I can find a handful of versions on Amazon alone for half the price and/or terrible reviews.
Living in a city that has grown around 100+ years of rail infrastructure, mass transit is slightly better than driving (1 hr MT x 1.5 hr+parking car). Sure, there's some walking, but with at most 30-minute tick on suburban rail and under 3 minute tick on city rail, a little planning goes a long way. (Also, car gets about 5x the cost per km, even before the public transit long-term ticket subsidies apply)
It looks more and more like Google wants to convert native search hits to paid clicks...

Notice how often when you search for "company" you find the company's ad first and then below the native search result...

Everything about this article is social media gossip trash.

Don’t put your kid online. Problem solved. This bullying is only happening because people outside of this child’s real life friends can follow him, which is the parent’s fault.

Then all the gossip surrounding it is just mind numbing. This article is part of the problem. Who. The. Fuck. Cares. I don’t know these people. They don’t have any discernible reason to be getting attention.
If supply is greater than demand, why doesn't that mean trusting the normal price signals and reallocating the supply? Artificially propping up the demand just masks the price signal builds up more crap, and keeps this adjustment from happening.

The argument against this is "oversupply in all sectors, so nowhere to reallocate the supply to", but this is clearly nonsense when people are demanding better housing, healthcare, and education.
It looks a little high up there. I would not get anywhere near that window.
I recently had to search for something similar to this:

march 12 2019 + 366 days

and DuckDuckGo gave me exactly what I wanted while Google gave me not-very-useful results.
Yea, I've wondered this exact thing. My guess is yes, but it depends on grade of incline. You also need to compare to supine and if there are other dramatic sleep interferences due to GERD or sleep apnea that would make supine worse in other ways.
Yup there is (alpha.whize.co) the question mark at the top links to a blog post with our broader goals though we've refined them a bit since that post.

I'll warn you though, the alpha has a really limited index (github results) but was meant to showcase how we think we'll initially prioritize results and gauge people's interest versus this is the final version because as you can imagine crawling the larger internet is a bigger task and if no one was interested we weren't going to do it.

That said we did have a healthy amount of people try it out (over 2000) and are still seeing people use it now over a month out so we've been full steam ahead on our generic crawler, plus a few social media specific crawlers and we expect to have our beta available mid May.
Nothing against eggs, I just like birdseed at my desk for grazing. Eggs are basically animal seeds anyway.
10% of patients require ICU with mechanical ventilators. Yes, it skews to the older population, but that doesn't exclude younger people entirely.

The biggest challenge is we only have ~20 mechanical ventilators per 100k people[0]. That means our entire nation's capacity for mechanical ventiation (excluding overload from regional clusters) is consumed with just 200 infections per 100k - or 660k infections of the US's 330 million.

That doesn't account for baseline ICU/vent usage, which is estimated at at ~70% occupancy rate with 3 in 10 currently needing mechanical vents [1].

A fuzzy summary is 500k infections in the use will utilize all existing mechanical ventilators.

Dude. Just open your eyes and look around you. Go to a super market. Look at the shelves.

Go to github.com. Look at all the different software languages, operating systems, shells, web servers, and so on and so forth.

Tool manufacturers. Housing choices.

All that stuff only can possibly exist in a capitalistic system. There is no other way. People have tried. We have massive amount of historical precedent on this sort of thing. At this point it should be self-evident.
That's not really how it works, though. You could imagine writing an AI program that can read this program, figure out that it halts on the truthiness of the input, and handles this case flawlessly.

The real proof is a bit of a head scratcher. Imagine we created such a function, doesHalt, that can read any program's source code and always figure out if the program will halt. This program can solve the halting problem -- it always produces a solution, either a True or a False. Feed it your fool program, it can always solve it, for any arbitrary input.

So what happens if we run create this little head scratcher function, that takes no input:

def headScratcher():
if doesHalt(headScratcher):
while 1: pass

This program halts if doesHalt() says it doesn't halt, and does not halt if doesHalt says it does halt. These are both contradictions -- proving that such a doesHalt function cannot actually exist.
I run Freenas virtualized on a esxi host (passing a dedicated SAS card to) it's pretty solid and I'm very happy with it.
Me too, this was the most annoying thing about FreeNAS. It just seemed to often not start up properly and require plugging in a monitor to see what's wrong. Often when I did plug in a monitor, it would boot fine, so I had no idea what the issue was.

Recently I replaced it with a barebones Arch install and it works just as well for home use, and starts fast and reliably. I think FreeNAS middleware is overly complex for home use if you are at all comfortable with administering things yourself (ZFS really makes it easy).

FreeNAS might make more complex things you'd do in an enterprise environment easier, but I think for anything you'd want to do at home, a basic Linux install would probably be easier. (eg. installing media server software, setting up a VPN server, even running a VM, etc.)
That’s not google’s direct doing. Google sells ads relevant to searches so you as a company want to buy ads on your name to prevent a competitor for doing the same. Imagine a competitor bought did that for tour company. Your business would take a hit.
No this predated all that. I saw the demo in 1991 or 1992; you had a simple flat file with a list of displays to use or could supply it on the command line. The program itself had to do all the heavy lifting to determine how much of each fish to put on each display.
> With the final mainnet key list, every open source developer will receive 4,246.994314 HNS coins from the airdrop.

When will it happen?
Many of us suffer from autism or anxiety or some other mental issue and hope to cure it with some strange diet. That's why despite being some of the most intelligent people on the internet people here will latch on to some singular model of human metabolism that's being promoted by the Russians or the Chinese right now (kidding, but only partly) and use it to justify a new "experiment".

Imposter syndrome fits in there. I didn't feel like I was good at my job or any of the things people think I'm good at, so I wanted to be this jack of all trades mad scientist character who uses himself as a guinea pig. Inevitably the low confidence leads to latching onto pseudoscientific theories -- it's a vicious cycle.

Others feel out of control of their lives and try to feel some sense of control through disordered eating (looking at you, "fasting"). I don't think I was really in this camp but I know people who are.

> Google has gotten really good at not having you to know any incantations at all.

I disagree -- the decline of the quality of Google's search appears to have begun when it started trying to second-guess what I'm searching for, and has continued to decline ever since.
I still remember one of the funniest lines from the old movie "Dead Man On Campus":

"This is my brothers Ritalin, It's great for staying up and studying just don't try to write an English paper on it"
> it's up to you, your subordinates, and your boss to define what is your role

Totally! And this is exactly why we are using this TLM role so you can try before you buy into full management responsibilities.

One of the gravest errors we make in software is assuming that the only way to advance in your career is into management. That said, it's also unfair to assume that great coders will never want to manage. Having a trial role that blends the two responsibilities de-risks the business in new management while allowing developers to see if these new sets of expectations are congruent with how they want to develop their careers.
Freedom ends at the other persons nose. That includes forcing others to work for you.

That said the mentally ill should definitely be supervised, and it should be an article in the constitution that enough housing be built for the rest of us, without restriction.

So, I think we mostly agree, just a different way of getting there.
Can you give an example of a monopoly that has been brought about and maintained by capitalism - i.e. not maintained by organized crime or the power of the government, but by the principles of free market capitalism alone?
If that’s the case, then I’m sticking with Ecosia since it uses Bing as well. Not sure if Ecosia has it’s own crawler, but at least they appropriate some profits to plant trees.

They also have an alias to redirect the search to google if the initial search doesn’t yield anything useful.
I’ve always had the opposite experience with DDG. Technical queries gave just garbage results, where as I got meaningful hits on google each time. </anecdote>
