I appreciate your respectful skepticism. It is entirely possible that the supplements contained significantly more than on the label. However, I'd like to point out that the generally recommended dose for supplements is only 800IU in adults, with up to 4000IU only in the case of Vitamin D deficiency. The "tolerable upper intake level" is 4000IU [1]. I am unable to track through Wikipedia's sources here at the moment, but that aligns with the parent of my original comment which I believe is in a peer reviewed journal. I would imagine that number was determined due to people like myself not tolerating amounts above 4000IU.

A fair amount of this is caused by the state and police. Why do you think that the rioters were in koreatown during the rodney king riots?

Police defended the rich neighborhoods and pushed the riot into places where society tolerates more damage.
Letting companies opt-out of a regulation purely because it hurts their business model sounds much more ill-conceived to me.

One of my buddies was hired by Accenture out of college as a contracted consultant. He was overworked with daily 10-hour work days. And they basically strung him along for 2 years with promise of full time conversion until he got fed up and left. Contracting in software has its pros but unpaid holiday, or awful benefits package just doesn’t seem worth it to me. Probably better if you run your own one-man consulting shop that accepts different contracts at high rates, than being a 40-hr/wk contingent worker and do the same work as a full time employee with none of the benefits like 401k match, pto, or health coverage. Long term I’d love to run my own software consulting shop and charge these large Fortune 500s out the ass, but until then I’ll keep chugging along as a full time employee, while staying well clear of contract work.

“The US system does not raise the same concerns about racism”

I have to disagree strongly with this, as we’re talking about differences of degree and not kind; the unique status of Peurto Rico is literally the result of a racist law effectively preventing non-whites from becoming US citizens: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1790

This law was finally repealed...in the 1950s, decades after the US claimed the territory as spoils of war, and the 1917 act that gave them quasi-citizenship. It is in truth just a facsimile of true US citizenship, because congress can revoke it and they are not allowed to vote in presidential elections while residing in their home territory. No citizen residing in Texas or Hawaii would consider that remotely fair, because it isn’t.

The US is an unusual case in the history of empires, because it was a colonial power that seems to downplay that fact publicly. Perhaps that is because it doesn’t fit with the national mythos. Whatever the reason, part of the legacy is having different degrees of citizenship based on race and geography that must eventually be reconciled one way or the other.
Generally, I agree with you. But, I am not sure if a momentary shortage is enough to create this incentive years out, when the price will likely normalize.

The other reason for high prices beyond inducing more sellers is to be a form of rationing based on ability to pay. And in a crisis with necessities people do not like this method emotionally and prefer a more democratic method.

In the meantime, play [IL-2 Sturmovik][1] for an amazing VR experience and in my opinion the best feeling of flight of any flight simulator.

Planes feel weighty, wind is simulated well, the damage modelling and physics are minutely detailed, and graphics have recently been updated with deferred shading and other enhancements.

The latest [map & battle][2] also includes Western favorites like P-51, P-38, P-47, Typhoon and Spitfire Mk.IX.

Here is a [blog post][3] I wrote about it. More to come, including an imminent one discussing ideas to make the game more approachable to a general audience that is more used to War Thunder, and some wishes for the powerful-but-tricky mission editor.

> I'm not sure it's particularly accurate to describe such questions as "nihilist", they're completely necessary.

Yeah. 'Nihilist' wasn't the correct word. Perhaps fallacious was more accurate: I think the subtext of my Q was, "If you can't fix everything why even start?" Which is dangerous.

I think I was fishing for answers: how is critical thinking even taught? My only experience with school was my one pass through it. And I didn't start critically thinking until my late 20's during the Clinton administration. I remember taking a critical thinking class in college (engineering school) and just sitting there as a freshman with my mouth hanging open when called on to make a critique.

It took a degree of engagement for me to become critical about issues. But then I was one-sided, and it took literally 20 more years before I started realizing there are two sides to an argument.

Not to toot my own horn, but I was very smart and very unobjective about anything outside of tech for 4/5ths of my life.

> But by no means am I intending to make any sort of value judgement about how successful this school or that school will be by merely suggesting taking a stab at introducing media literacy into public schooling.

I don't know how many other HN'ers have the same question, but I'd really like to know: how would a teacher proceed to instill what took me 40+ years to learn (and still learning!) into a teen-aged brain?

Any teachers out there?
The Contagion of Concern
Well they obviously don't "collect everything" because this one tiny datacenter wont hold "everything". This datacenter is 60MW in capacity, or something like 1-5% as large as Google's aggregate capacity, where Google itself is also a small fraction of global datacenter capacity. We can also safely assume that, like all other government datacenters, the PUE at this facility is terrible, and I would feel safe in further assuming that storage efficiency at this agency is not state of the art. Considering all these factors, I think this facility is between 1000 and 1000000 times too small to contain "everything".

How are you so sure?

They were already evading justice before the video came out (the internal police analysis was obviously false). Pantaleo was never charged for Garner's death. In other cases we have seen video evidence excluded from trial and officers walk.

I'm not remotely confident that this will lead to convictions.
I'm perfectly fine with measures holding cops more accountable for killing unarmed men and women of any race, sure.

The cause of insulin resistance is energy poisoning (i.e. people eating too much). The only cure for insulin resistance is weight loss. That's it.

There's no study, not one, showing reversal of IR with keto/fasting independent of weight loss.

Macros are absolutely irrelevant for either weight gain or weight loss in controlled studies. Only protein seems to have an effect on satiety, but the effect is not very significant in the context of whole foods.

Even more serious is that drops in HbA1C, a surrogate marker for blood glucose, cannot be shown to drop independent of weight loss. Ketoers might avoid sugar spikes after meals better, they might get off some meds sooner, but this is only disease management and for the HbA1C, which represents a 3 months average, it doesn't seem to matter.

The whole notion that insulin resistance is cause by sugar or carbohydrates, or that the cure is cutting carbs, is bullshit similar with anti-vaxxing and homeopathy. Not evidence based.

Insects, however, reproduce so much that without population control, the ecosystem would be in imbalance very quickly, and they can't be educated to have less children. Insects were "designed" into the system such that a large number of them are expected to die.

I wouldn't be surprised if birds and spiders kill far more insects than people.

Tough question. For some things, I'd say that informed consent is hard to give - if you consent, you're not informed.

I don't believe that the average user is making informed choices. The choices may be rational as long as the users don't understand the consequences. It's perfectly rational to trade in your life savings for a fancy meal if you don't understand what "life savings" means.

There was a post a day or two ago about how remote work makes it harder for people to value employees except as utilities, whereas if they work closely they value them more.

Top administrators are in charge of who gets cut, and they probably interact with other admins the most or rely on them personally for some task, so they are most sensitive to laying them off versus park staff (or faculty) who they don't interact with often, if at all. They aren't visible.
Twitter's Verified Identity Crisis
I wrote this before the Minneapolis riots, so I don't mention Pres. Trump's tweet about the riots, or the implications of Twitter's response. I'll discuss that another time.

I loved this indictment of Movie Pass (or WeWork) style companies:

> "There are other business models. For instance you could make a product that people kind of want, or that they would want if it were affordable. Then you convince people to buy it by selling it for much less than it costs you to make it, or by paying them to buy it. If you do this well, you will have high revenue and rapid revenue growth, because lots of people are buying your product. You will not, however, get rich, because you’ll be spending more money making the product than you get from your customers. Your revenue will be high but your net income will be negative; it will cost you money to run this business.

> But then you will go to investors, and you will say “look, I have a company with rapidly growing revenue, that’s worth something, you should pay me for a share of my company.” And they will agree—“we love rapid revenue growth,” they will say—and you will sell stock in the company for hundreds of millions of dollars. And then it will cost them money to run the business, and you will be rich. There are various possible endgames; in some of them you go to prison but in quite a lot of them you just stay rich and become an elder statesman admired for your business acumen."

The later part about the Chinese coffee company fraud also getting caught by motivated short sellers was also great:

> "The thing about inflating your revenue by pretending that you sold more coffee than you did is that people can go to your stores and watch you sell coffee. It is a reasonable bet that they won’t do that, because it’s incredibly boring. “Who is going to send 1,500 people to our stores to watch us sell coffee all day, count how much we sell and compare it to our financial statements,” Luckin could reasonably have thought. 1 But the answer was “short sellers”! They actually hired people to sit around watching the coffee get made, so they caught the fraud."

Matt Levine is a good writer (often funny too) - I'm impressed he can continually write up these high quality newsletters almost every day.

Between this, Stratechery, and Preet's podcast I find it really hard to actually read all of this.

How do other people do this?

It's hard to really have the time for even just one newsletter or podcast (at least with the podcasts you used to be able to listen in the car, back when we still drove places).
RTK is great! The only thing I wish was a bit different is the `createAsyncThunk` function. It feels dirty providing the action-type string manually, when for all the other actions, this is essentially invisible.

I don't believe that is true. What is your source?

They were fined in Jan 2019, but are they still out of compliance? If yes, why are they not being continuously fined?

That's the result on the other side of a trial, sure.

Which is why good lawyers are so important.

Sadly, this makes it completely useless for me.
In a way, I'm glad this law exists. My competitors spend so much time to be compliant. I just ignore the law and spend my time on improving my SAAS instead. They all will go bankrupt and my startup gets more and more users every day.
I can see why they think that, but we really don't know the full etymology: https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/where-does-the...

> When the Brother of Jared and his companions traveled, they “did also carry with them deseret, which, by interpretation, is a honey bee” (Ether 2:3). This is the only time in the Book of Mormon where the text gives a definition for a Jaredite word. But it has proven difficult to know where in the ancient Near East the word came from. “Until possible language affinities for Jaredite names can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of Jaredite names must remain more speculative than substantive.” In addition, the word “deseret” does not translate as “bee” in any known ancient Mesopotamian language.
They still have to explain why you have been detained, right?
Airflow is analogous to Oozie in the Hadoop ecosystem.
Taleb's position in general is one of extreme conservatism when meddling with ecological systems (for example he is also against GMOs). The basis for this conservatism is his general concern with risk in a nonlinear world. He does indeed put forth an argument, which is: can you predict the effects of this? No, you cannot, and possible effects include ecological collapse.

I solved this by then introducing the kids to slices in a pie. Visually, the kids can see that 1/3 of a pie plus 1/3 of a pie is not the same as 2/6. Fractions are often introduced as "parts of a set" which is great for the first day. It's easy for kids to see and understand, but kids are more familiar with trying to slice the birthday cake for all the kids at the party. After the kids realize there are two kinds of fractions, we spend time at each problem thinking through is this a set (which we'll return to in ratios) or a whole (which can't be expanded) and visually representing fractions both ways to check their answers. Adding units is absolutely important, but when I teach it, that's what I add in fourth or fifth grade when I'm teaching them to reduce.
It could have all been ended when the bystander peacefully asked the police to stop putting the knee on Floyd's neck. Obviously violence is never the answer, but it's hardly surprising in this case.

I see this argument every so often but I'm wondering, what did we actually lose?

Nasty social media that makes their money on outrage and exposing people to scam ads? That's about the only thing I can think of, and I don't think it's a big loss. The legal environment of the EU might actually pave the way for better social media, if the market wasn't already monopolized by the current incumbents.

As a counter-argument, Europe and especially the UK has a thriving fintech scene that produces solutions light-years ahead of what's currently in the US, despite the stronger consumer protection laws that we have.

This is what I was looking for with my most recent reply to your reply. Thanks!
It was less "expecting", and more like "looking for a silver lining".
I'm not going to scour the internet for these examples... I found one in 5 minutes. I assume there are more out there that would require me to spend more time than I'm willing to make the point.

You said doesn't happen. An absolute. I am saying it can happen and it's not the only form of punishment I'm referring to.

Police (the individuals) can be punished for their infractions. It doesn't happen nearly often enough (my opinion). But if you're saying it can't/won't happen I disagree with you. I'd even go so far as to say I believe you to be factually incorrect. While I will 100% change my opinion on this if given a study that proves this has never happened. It's easier for me to assert a shmeybe than for you to assert it never happens. All I need is one instance where as you need none.

Now if you want to say, that's not enough. We won't disagree at all.
The investigation lead to an arrest today. That's how the system works. And it worked in this case.

Where was your rage for Justine Damond? Shot by Officer Mohamed Noor from the passenger seat of his police cruiser, across his partner. Where were the riots?

Also, when people complain about MSM they are including Fox and Sinclair. It's all corrupted and meant to drive a narrative instead of presenting objective views from both sides. It's not up to MSM to tell us how to think about events. Their job is to report the facts. Hardly any of them do anymore, if they ever did.
What about this event indicates racism was involved? Because the cop is not behind bars? That is most likely due to union rules and procedures which have to be followed.
That strategy is discussed in footnote #2. Though one of the interesting things about such a physical oil fund is it makes it clear that you're just frittering away investor money on storage costs (discussed in footnote #4), which are more abstract/less obvious when you're spending the money trading futures rather than on a big bin to hold the oil.
If the apparent penalty for murdering a member of the public is only getting fired, I can't see anyone higher up in authority giving a rat's @rse if an officer just grabs someone and arrests them without warning.

Native Minnesotan here — living in Minneapolis — that has lived on both coasts:

With all that's happening the last few days, please don't generally associate Minnesotans with the violent riots that have captured the attention of everyone. The peacefulness of the protests and gatherings has been overshadowed by the violence. There are countless examples of Minnesotans standing up to those who choose to loot and destroy the innocent. Those images are being overlooked.

What happened is awful. These violent riots, and the violent images aren't reflective of Minnesotans at large. The violence doesn't reflect how genuinely upset people in Minnesota feel about what happened and greater the movement at large. There will always be edge-cases as there is with any situation in any context. But for everyone that I've known, for everyone I've met and encountered with in Minnesota, when I look back at my time spent on either coast I always have found the people in Minnesota to be most great.

I have friends and colleagues asking me "what's going on with everyone in Minnesota?" and I have to explain to them that these images aren't representative of the place I call home and my neighbors I call my friends.

There are businesses that didn't do anything wrong which have have been effectively `rm -rf` because of a small group of bad actors. The Target on Lake Street didn't do anything. Banadir Pharmacy didn't do anything. Seward Pharmacy didn't do anything. The pawn shop didn't do anything. The WIC office didn't do anything. The liquor stores didn't do anything. MoneyGram didn't do anything. The tobacco store didn't do anything. Disrupting those businesses and the livelihoods of their employees and owners doesn't prove a point.

But burning down the precinct? Yeah, I can get behind that.
I think it means that Trump doesn't understand that he can't just march the Army in there at his sole discretion.

But if the situation escalated to the point that federal troops were needed (at the request of the state), then yes, there is almost certainly going to be shooting. You don't expect that a stern look from the Army is going to do the job.
