I actually think it might be all of at least three things:

1. Too much sugar has direct effects on the body, even for people at a totally healthy weight. Possibly including changing your appetite.

2. What you said: unhealthy foods very often contain sugar; therefore, foods high in sugar are more likely to be unhealthy in other ways too.

3. Sugar has calories but doesn't make you feel full. Too much sugar works against controlling your weight because people want a minimum amount of satiation.

The first point may seem wrong if you tend to think of the body as simply using sugar as fuel so that it only "pays attention" to the energy content. One thing that convinced me it's probably more complicated than that is a study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5513783/) showing that if endurance athletes merely swish a sugary beverage in their mouth and then spit it out, it still improves their athletic performance. It can't be merely sweet; artificial sweeteners didn't have the same effect.
Being an American doesn't make it any less prejudiced. It's a gross generalization. Even assuming it were true, how is this an exclusive characteristic of America?

Sleezy as this is you wouldn't be able to show damages since you didn't sign the contract. The other lawyer can claim error and the burden of proof would be on you.

If you did accept, then you have a lengthy court battle ahead where a jury could very well rule "abide by the contract you signed you reneging moocher."

The real world isn't a school playground. Calling a teacher over is time consuming and expensive and far from a guarantee of justice. It is up to you to keep yourself safe from assholes like this by always doing your due diligence. Someone who pulls this kind of shit constantly will eventually lose their license, but many years down the road and after many victims.
I wish reviews would change to “would you stay/use this again?” Just yes or no. I’m sure I could get more usefulness out of an aggregation of that. Anyone have an idea of why that would or wouldn’t work?

I think you have problems with the mobile navigation now :)
The hover effect makes the background white, however the text is now white too. I would do somethink like: .navigation:hover {
border: 2px solid white;

}
And tweak the border-radius/border-color a little bit maybe. The hover effect on the non mobile navigation is fine.

The way I treat interest/fees is as just another expense. Then there's no juggling. But I manually enter all the transactions, I don't know how this works if you automatically get transactions, as it would depend on how the CC or other companies add interest onto the statement (as a regular transaction or separately). So once a day (typically, at least 3-4 times a week) I go into each account and YNAB and make sure everything is present. If interest or fees are present, I add those as transactions. YNAB properly accounts for it (if you budget money into the interest/fees categories) for the next CC payment.
The lesson I've learned is to read the words. I'm about to reluctantly give a 5 star review for a place that should get 4 stars. But I understand the system and don't want to be a jerk. What I can do, and have done in the past, is explain the minor flaws in the body of my review. I have been helped immensely by other people doing exactly this, especially with issues some people view as minor, like noise or water pressure.
So this is obviously non-server:

If you use their integrated graphics (as on laptops, etc.) there are sometimes driver hiccups (for example, sometimes a feature that's discrete GPU specific will be problematic with the integrated graphics but enabled by default), or slowness to shut down.

Besides that, of the three Ryzen machines I use regularly they're all fine daily drivers, but sometimes have fixable boot/kernel configuration oddities that vary by kernel release.

Based on this, I'd stay away from 2000 series with integrated graphics, but otherwise am pretty comfortable with the platform.
Interesting and in comparison:

Nvidia: 0.21
AMD: 0.17

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/debt-e...
https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMD/amd/debt-equit...

Though as we have all come to learn, the market these days is more exposed to perception buying and selling over more robust analytical buying and selling. That and a little dynamic movement can easily amplify by automated trading and reaction trading.

AMD can only gain traction in the graphics consumer market and that may well pan out, though much seems to be riding upon RDNA2 and that is looking like late in the year, this with new consols scheduled for end of the year and that was prior to recent supplier dynamics may well well see those slip into next year.

We have seen the larger datacenters start to take note of AMD more and iirc cloudflare as well as Google buying some AMD offerings in more earnest. The time for those to traction won't be instant either, so any growth will be a while until measured.

But AMD from most people you talk with, seem to be in a good position and it has been a while since they had that postition (decades really), they seem to keep that momentum going and have a path to do that. So even if they don't start to make fast inroads into the datacenter, they are slowly gaining momentum and Intel is loosing momentum.

However, the recent supplier dynamics due to the recent human malware will impact all. So many aspects that make it hard to call, but however it goes, I don't see AMD nor Intel worried more than any other company. Though AMD may well be more exposed to supplier chain dynamics more than Intel and that advantage to Intel (having own fabs) can only sit in Intels favour.

However, the real one to watch will be RISCV and also ARM and recent developments by Fujitsu with the A64FX (well worth reading about as very interesting) stealing the TDP crown. Things may well get very interesting, though in technology, it always is and that is why we all enjoy and love it.

Also worth noting that the recent human malware will see a drive in working from home and that may well shift buying requirements for many businesses, which could see an increase in datacenter usage, though that will be at the expense of local buying.

As always, many dynamics, but perception does seem to be more of a factor than any common sense when it comes to markets. Though the real winners, will be storage and that is an area that gets overlooked and will have an impact more than anything else in the year ahead.
There needs to be an independent outsider that can give uniform and unbiased reviews. i.e. Michelin reviews for airbnb. Question is how many people are willing to pay for these.
I'm supposing the reason const is const is because it was in the list of reserved words quite early https://www-archive.mozilla.org/js/language/E262-3.pdf section 7.5.3 Future Reserved Words - whereas of course val is probably a really common variable name in multitudinous little scripts all over the world and it would basically break the internet if it was used.

I would suggest con, but hey that would probably also break a lot of stuff and const wouldn't break anything because being a reserved word you should never have named or been able to name your variable const (probably some JavaScript engine somewhere would have let you though, like early IE/Netscape might have made that mistake)
This is just a series of counterfactuals to everything that’s been reported and said is necessary by frontline healthcare staff, epidemiologists, and even the WHO.

You can keep making these evidence-free, self-justifying claims, but that’s the sum total of what they are.

You can’t even respond to an epidemiologist saying they’re necessary to put in place appropriate mitigating strategies without espousing straw men like “outdoing Singapore” or “one nurse going viral.”

I guess all these other doctors and nurses, describing chaos in California because of the lack of testing, are just trying to “go viral” too?

The story I’d heard is that lobster became a delicacy when it was shipped to the US interior, where butter was relatively cheap and plentiful. Seems kind of implausible—wouldn’t it be easier to ship the butter to the coast?—but it’s a story.
>What, specifically, do you think more testing will do?

The CDC & other testing authorities have been systematically denying requests by doctors and other health professionals, to test people who are at meaningful risk of Covid-19 infection. Indications are this is due to a lack of testing capacity.

There are numerous news reports of CDC refusing testing. It seems odd that anyone is missing them.

Here are some examples of what I'm referring to
https://act.nationalnursesunited.org/page/-/files/graphics/N...

https://www.businessinsider.com/new-york-man-denied-coronavi...

Here's a case where doctors kept pushing back against CDC refusals. Eventually the woman tested positive.

If these aren't enough examples of CDC's ongoing testing problems, there are plenty of others - all there for the searching.
> "hashing is a data-indexing method invented for internet search in the 1990s"

Eh? It was invented multiple decades prior to the 1990s. Some days you could get the impression that computer science did not exist before the Web.
There's one non-obvious corollary from the fact that using let/const before declaring throws an error and var does not:

If you have let/const in your source code, but you use babel to transform it to ES5, you may have cases where you use let/const in that error-throwing way, but it's compiled down to var, and all is good (apart from variable being undefined when used).

When you however upgrade your babel conf to output ES6 and not compile down to var, you'll be having reference errors in those places, which may explode your app. I learned in production after enabling "differential serving" (module/nomodule).

There's an eslint plugin that can check for this stuff, but it finds false positives in 95% of cases (matter of personal preference - it disallows "valid but not blessed by the authors" behavior), so it's very likely you don't have it enabled, just like us.

Then use a restaurant details blocker? Celebrities have been doing this since the beginning of time. Use an alias. The notion that physical places of business are collecting our data for their own purpose is not really a new one.

Data privacy is a top-level priority for us. We actually offer both a cloud-based and on-prem solution. One of our clients needed a fully on-prem, air-gapped (no connection to internet) option. Many are choosing to use us because they can't send their data to outsourced, external parties.

But if users don't care, why do platforms care? Maybe it's actually a reliable signal?

Obviously it's also more reliable in the context of other evaluations by the same reviewer which the platform has easy access to, i.e. if someone always gives 5 stars, then a 4 star review from him is much worse than one from someone who never gives 5 stars.

> But if the benefit is shared by everyone then it becomes near political suicide to suggest cuts to it.

The benefit isn't shared by everyone, though. The payouts may be equal but the taxes to support those payouts are not. If a majority of voters are paying more in taxes than they receive in payouts (as is likely) then it shouldn't be hard to sell them on the idea that reducing or dismantling the program would be in their own self-interest.

On the other hand, if it would be difficult to dismantle the program even knowing that it benefits a vocal minority at the expense of the majority, that should make us think twice about instituting it in the first place.
On a related topic, I've had a ton of problems finding a cloud storage system that will reliably handle files around 100-200gb. Does anyone have a recommendation for a service that can handle that file size with ease?
Thanks for your comment, we added a "Latest Additions" that shows the newest entries that have been added. Yes, if you click "How does this work" and then commence the query, the result page actually says that a human being language expert will craft a query result for your search term. Would you want to be notified when the result is ready? We were trying to evaluate how important this feature is.
Seems like that disadvantages the batch because of a lack of IRL human interactive competition amongst investors. Somethings are best done in person, but I hope all goes well.

Sure, but Ebola is way, way worse, and it was all over Africa for awhile a few years back (IRC) and it even got to the US, and hardly a peep of panic about it.

I think we are going to find out in the next year that half the people that were infected were false positives just like many other scares produce. (like HIV)
Right. These results could equally well be interpreted as caffeine have the same effect on both convergent and divergent thinking, but divergent thinking (renamed "creativity" in the title) is harder to measure because it has more variance. If anything, it provides mild evidence in favor of the hypothesis that caffeine improves divergent thinking and calls for further study with a larger control group.
> There is billions of dollars at stake for companies to build as complete a picture as possible of you and every detail of your life

I can't see the point of releasing a pacific lobster from America in Brighton, for example. Would be like releasing coyotes in France.
Lobstermen use so much herring to bait lobster traps it dramatically boosts the population. All the females and juveniles are thrown back, so to a lobster a fisherman's pot(trap) is an easy meal. Even the market size males will frequently go in a pot to eat and then escape before they can be caught.

Lobsters are a species that actually benefits from fishing. Herring on the other hand...

I am aware of this. I just don't understand what Twilio will gain from sending every single phone number you provision through them to Facebook or another advertising partner.

I found it very helpful to have your own rituals for the task you want to accomplish.

I create a spreadsheet with every startup before I start watching anything.

Then I start rating startups and comment on founders on my sheet while watching the videos.

I focus 100% on the first minute of any video, sometimes founders are so good they completely get my attention, sometimes I lose interest and just go back to my sheet commenting.

My sheet/notes are my starting point, if I’m bored I fix it there..I found out that I get bored when I hear a pitch that solves a problem for industries I’m not interested in.

I attended 4 online demo days, and every time my sheet gets improved.
I cannot watch these videos without a spreadsheet..and now my team asks me to send them the spreadsheet before every demo day.

I think YC should add a sheet for us to write our comments/ratings and decision.

The data from these sheets will be so helpful to understand how attendees perceive each pitch, how founders can improve it

This is naive. Via triangulation they know your approximate location, and there are likely cameras with facial recognition and/or license plate readers in the area that can be used to correlate with arrival/departure to get your identity. Unless every single thing you use is in somebody else's name and you wear some kind of disguise everywhere it is already possible to bypass anonymity in most urban areas. If someone isn't doing it already someone will be soon, there's a lot of money at stake.
True, but it's not a foolproof strategy. I'm shy about asking for more money, too. Instead, when I want a raise, I just line up a new job with the raise and switch.
Shipping ice was inefficient, but it worked: it actively provided the same benefit as refrigeration later did and it didn't have an "adversary" (as in, people or food that were actively undermining it). In contrast, the research on five star rating systems is that, mathematically, they don't work (as no one is using scales that are compatible, you cannot do algebra on the values to get an "average"). Meanwhile, they are actively gamed, and so can be worse than noise, making people believe something harmful. If you want a better analogy, it is like a bunch of people relying on some combination of apple cider vinegar (which might do something, or might not, but may as well try it), snake oil (which definitely does nothing, but is claimed to do everything), and garlic (which does something, just not that well, but is often placebo effect) in an industry already attempting to indiscriminately deploy antibiotics (which works, but only temporarily, as once an infection adapts it is all downsides and no upsides)... and no one is even sure if a cure is possible. Ice works, we knew it worked, we knew why it worked, and all we needed was more engineering to make it efficient and scalable (by eventually figuring out how to simulate ice using carbon, chemicals, and metals): don't pretend for a second that rating systems have anything in common with something that worked.
Thank you. Whats your opinion re personal prepardness in terms of your financials? Leave cash in bank? Withdraw some? Withdraw plenty? Keep it in USD or convert to something like Euro.

I suppose amusement is arbitrary.

This comment chain started with:
"Having been at a company that was starting to move things to Kubernetes, when it had absolutely no reason to, I can say that it was being done because: 1) the developers wanted to be able to say they knew how to use Kubernetes... "

Someone responded by saying
"For those companies i recommend rancher... It's kubernetes under the hood but a lot is stuff is abstracted away.."

So if you dont need Kubernetes, and are just using it to learn Kubernetes, you should throw an additional tool on top of Kubernetes, that abstracts away Kubernetes?

I'm sorry, that is amusing to me.

Some abstractions are necessary. Some aren't.
Sounds like a good idea for a startup or SaaS project. The JIRA epics to business owner mapping seems quite useful.
People earning 70k will vote against "another" 12k if it reduces their taxes by 16k. That money isn't free—a minority will see a net benefit, with everyone else footing the bill. If you're earning 70k then you're unlikely to end up on the "net benefit" side of the equation.
