Well, I'll wait for the government report in 2021. A lot people who "miss meals" are still overweight, they just make poor decisions with their money. In any case, inequality like that could be solved by everyone in this forum taking a pay cut to something that covers just basic essentials. People who talk about inequality are always, always talking about making themselves richer. Everyone has the power already to make themselves poorer.
Thank you. I appreciate your conciseness.

Skip the Cyanocobalmin. Enough people have problems metabolizing that form, and it also shouldn't be consumed solo.

Cheap and effective B Complexes exist that use better forms of the various vitamins exist; only lazy manufacturers still use stuff like Cyanocobalmin. A good multivitamin should also be covering your B need as well, I ended up making a short list of good multis, and Life Extension 2-per-day Capsules ended up being the least expensive of ones that made the list... you pretty much have to go to Thorne and pay more to get better.
Various parties have pulled it off in recent years, as AL-LAD, 1P-LSD and a couple of other very close relatives (not prohibited at the time in various countries), have been produced and sold (mostly) legally in a variety of countries.
There often is only a narrow range where (data + overhead) is larger than cache, but (data + 0) is smaller than cache.

Cached reads/writes arent't free either, so if overhead drastically reduces those, you may come out on top 100% of the time.

This comment isn’t saying anything at all.
> Bloom derives his expression by performing a transformation that would only be possible if the bits are independent, but nowhere in his proof does he state that he is making this assumption.

I see, thanks for this clarification. I read your post as saying that the assumption was explicit. I agree that reasoning from an implicit assumption is a logical error. Still, the real problem was not the assumption being implicit/explicit but rather that one doesn't want to rely on it at all. Which again is an extra-logical issue.

> So in that sense, the debunking part is correct - we disprove Bloom's original bound by proving the true bound under the same assumptions that he explicitly makes.

OK. I don't think that recapitulating something that has been known with more or less certainty for 12 years counts as "debunking". For me "debunking" has a connotation of being original, maybe for you it doesn't.

But I especially think that "the formula was only asymptotically correct" is too weak a statement to count as a "debunking". For me "debunking" an algorithm or a data structure would have to be something much bigger, like "Quicksort doesn't always sort" or "binary search trees can lose data" or "Bloom filters can sometimes have false negatives". Not "the behavior we have been seeing for the last 50 years matches the original formula well, but strictly speaking it matches the new formula a bit better". Your mileage obviously varies.

EDIT: Let me stress again that I'm not pooping on your work. The work appears sound and important, since this was so tricky to get right in the past. But I am pooping on the title.

When they remotely installed add-ons for an ad deal and it blew up in their face, they promised "we've changed". I don't think they have.

I did not receive the notification despite using Firefox on mobile, but a friend did. Maybe because he uses Facebook, and I don't. But that's unthinkable, a Browser claiming to be pro-privacy sniffing around in your web-history to target you for political ads. But then again, you'd also not expect a Browser to send you push notifications for their latest blog post.
That's right, though I do see how my original formulation didn't make that terribly clear. Thanks for clarifying it.

Japan has an ageing population. So, it's not GDP or even GDP per capita, but GDP per working hour to look for, and, on that measure, Japan isn't doing too badly.

Japan's problem seems to be very low net household savings and too high savings by corporates. It would be preferable to shift income towards households instead of running up public debt to keep every one employed.

This is the last straw for me personally. At this point what Mozilla claims to do and what they actually do does not seem to match.

Kernel state based fuzzer: a LLVM approach
Hey man thanks! still a lot of learning to be done on the frontend..
Well, there's always a healthy option in the middle. I'm not exactly up to speed on what the pay is like in the USA (which is where I presume most of the users here hail from), but getting at least $3-4k is enough to work remotely from some place like Thailand or a small European country. You still get the benefit of a traditional-ish social life, where you "go" to work every day, talk to people and then have some time to go out. Except that salary that would get you a passable living in London, Seattle or whatever other expensive city you inhabit, could get you much farther in a poorer country.

I do realise that this only applies to those who CAN work remotely but that seems to be a large chunk of the userbase for HN.
This is fair if you think freedom is the most important thing. Having more money has real objective benefits and most people are fine with giving up some freedom to have those benefits.

Population growth and increasing extraction and consumption of natural resources are phenomena that feed each other in a vicious cycle. Note, however, that carbon emission per capita in the US is twice that of China and 8 times that of India [1]. And then you should also take into account that western countries have essentially externalized their carbon emissions to Asian and African countries by moving their manufacturing operations there.

The "very comfortable world" you're describing cannot exist without those billions of poor people slaving away in sweatshops so us westerners can be comfortable.

Free will has a lot of different interpretations.

For personal life I find this one the most practical: if you have the impression that you have free will then you have free will. Even if your choices are in fact determined rather than choices, the fact that you think you're choosing makes the determination irrelevant.

Judicially the argument goes exactly the other way: unless we have proof for free will any punishment (for possibly predetermined decisions) is unjust. The justice system then only serves three possible functions: 1) keep dangerous people away from society 2) act as a deterrent, a factor that goes into any predetermined decisions and 3) to help rehabilitation, help the individual make better choices.

The justice system eg in Norway very much fits these schemes, while common people still see prison etc as punishment the actual judicial decisions much more aim at rehabilitation.
> Facebook is still a place where it’s too easy to find hate, bigotry, racism, antisemitism and calls to violence.

What an odd claim, coming from Mozilla - it's ultimately Firefox that displays all that hate and racism. If they think it should be censored, they can add a filter to the browser itself. Why leave censorship to Facebook, when clearly Mozilla is the more moral corporation, and knows better which content their users should be allowed to see?

I'd think that it's cheaper not because it's risky (specially since Amazon says it inspects the item), but because it's second hand. Trying to pass the risk to the user is probably not what most people would expect.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here.

Given the history of the proofs of the Bloomfilter, I'd argue that the bound was not really "known with more or less certainty" - if so many corrections had to be made, why should we believe that this latest paper was truly correct? it does not seem to be unreasonable to believe that there might be other errors that had been been similarly overlooked. Our research tackles this problem - it provides a guarantee that there are no further hidden errors.

> "the formula was only asymptotically correct"

I have no issues with the behaviors of a data structure being characterized in an asymptotic sense, but I do think that giving a bound that you claim to hold exactly, but then having it turn out to only hold asymptotically is incorrect and worthy of debunking. Furthermore, most citations of Bloom's bound do not claim it is an asymptotic bound, but use it as an exact one, which is clearly incorrect.
You'd have to explain how you price artistic value before anyone can argue with that. But these paintings are also cultural artifacts of a popular show. That they're paintings has misled you.

"While serving as a tribute to the artistic legacy of an artist whose name and work is as well known, this exhibition looks to explore the deeper questions around nostalgia, high and low art, art history, the cult of celebrity, pop culture, the art market and ultimately what is worthy of being exhibited and preserved in our museums. Bob and I both agree there are no wrong answers and I am fascinated to explore these questions."

This exhibit directly invites you to discuss the worthiness of the paintings, so I say it DOES make sense to make an exhibit of Bob Ross' paintings. How could anyone hope to judge them fairly without seeing them first?

> The road less traveled

Did you know the way that we commonly interpret this poem is actually the opposite of how Frost intended it? The article I quote below makes the assertion that this poem is one of the most popular yet misunderstood poem of all time:

"This is the most remarkable thing about “The Road Not Taken”—not its immense popularity (which is remarkable enough), but the fact that it is popular for what seem to be the wrong reasons.

Most widely celebrated artistic projects are known for being essentially what they purport to be. [...] When we read Joyce’s Ulysses, we correctly assume that it’s a complex story about a journey around Dublin as filtered through many voices and styles. A cultural offering may be simple or complex, cooked or raw, but its audience nearly always knows what kind of dish is being served.

Frost’s poem turns this expectation on its head. Most readers consider “The Road Not Taken” to be a paean to triumphant self-assertion (“I took the one less traveled by”), but the literal meaning of the poem’s own lines seems completely at odds with this interpretation. The poem’s speaker tells us he “shall be telling,” at some point in the future, of how he took the road less traveled by, yet he has already admitted that the two paths “equally lay / In leaves” and “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same.” So the road he will later call less traveled is actually the road equally traveled. The two roads are interchangeable.

According to this reading, then, the speaker will be claiming “ages and ages hence” that his decision made “all the difference” only because this is the kind of claim we make when we want to comfort or blame ourselves by assuming that our current position is the product of our own choices (as opposed to what was chosen for us or allotted to us by chance).

The poem isn’t a salute to can-do individualism; it’s a commentary on the self-deception we practice when constructing the story of our own lives. “The Road Not Taken” may be, as the critic Frank Lentricchia memorably put it, “the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” But we could go further: It may be the best example in all of American culture of a wolf in sheep’s clothing."

There's a difference between a conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorists.

The article is a bit loose with using both interchangeably, but it's clearly about conspiracy theorists - people for whom conspiracy theories are a pastime.

From my own experiences of people who would define themselves this way, this seems to manifest itself in enjoying discovering new conspiracies from the conspiracy theorist community. And, perhaps more importantly, the conspiracies need to stay conspiracies for the most satisfaction. It's not a desire to unmask the truth so that the world can agree and benefit, it's the buzz of superiority from being in an "enlightened" minority. It is difficult to talk to these people about these topics, hence the article.

Note that "recent at-risk sexual activity" specifically means (among other things) a man engaging in sex with another man in the past 12 months (at least that's the case in Australia[1]).

Practically speaking this means that the vast majority of gay men cannot donate blood -- even if the criteria don't explicitly say the words "gay men cannot donate blood". Don't get me wrong, I agree that there are purely statistical reasons why these restrictions are in place (blood banks aren't out looking for excuses to reduce their supplies) -- but it's really not accurate to say that it's no longer the case that gay men cannot donate blood.

I also hasten to note that having many sexual partners is not considered "at-risk sexual activity" (though there are some exceptions), while two monogamous men in a homosexual relationship having sex is always considered as being "at-risk".

Not the person you were responding to, but I made the point in another comment; the optimizing of time for one task over another (as example; eating fast food (in the example a big mac which is not considered healthy by any standard) to save time but going to the gym because that's healthy) seems not really relating to valuing your time in money, but just valuing your time in subjective ways. There are many people who make > $100 / hr who clean their own house. Why? I don't know, but if you say you don't cook because it costs money then that goes for all things you do. There are people who like cleaning, but anecdotally speaking anyway, I don't know any of those and yet I know millionaires who clean their own house because 'that's how you become a millionaire'. But real sense it does not make. They all (the ones I know that is, to be specific) love to cook (hours / day) though.

There's been a few flash runtimes in javascript and other languages. Most of them have been long abandoned.

And then the most recent one, CheerpX, which as I understand it runs the Adobe flash runtime itself via wasm: https://leaningtech.com/pages/cheerpxflash.html

Which brings me to Java. Java left the browser even before flash did. Not all of these are javascript jvms, but all of them are intended to run Java applications in the browser (some are transpilers, others require code changes):
