Not mental health, but mental state.

Protein is split into amino acids and then recombined into proteins inside body. The splitting process and recombination process need glucose in blood and, effectively, drain glucose from blood.

In my experience, some of the amino acid sport drinks can drain glucose from blood to the point where I had clear signs of very low glucose levels, including restlessness and shaking limbs.

The glucose level may affect mood and has other interesting effects.

If you look at what carbs, fats and proteins do with you mood, I think you will see that carbs make one relaxed (see relation between carbs and orexin), fats make one jolly (due to endocannabioids) and proteins make one awake (draining carbs from blood, mainly).
People expressing their opinions about one's ideas is not cancel culture: it's when critics go one step further and try to destroy the person they disagree with.

Many people have lost their livelihoods and even more are afraid to express their opinion at all because of the disproportionate cost they might incur.

People having been structurally shielded from mob justice in the past is a state worth returning to.
Financial interest of Germany (tax rebates and subsidies of German manufacturers, ongoing huge military purchases) decrease their incentives and complicate their situation too.
There is still the open question of rule of law conditionality in EU budget payouts.

This was obviously a huge bone of contention during the recent talks. A compromise was reached and, interestingly, both sides declared victory. The actual agreement contains wording which is vague on this issue.

We'll see how it plays out. I believe this can be implemented and that Poland and Hungary alone cannot block this. Which I think is good - I don't want EU to finance an autocratic government in my country (Poland).

There are a lot of factors at play. There are issues with anti-democratic governments in Poland and Hungary, COVID-19 has hit Southern states hard and obviously the UK has left. On the other hand, they did just agree to issuing collective debt for the first time, which is a major milestone in terms of a central budget. Notably, much of that money is to be given (not loaded) to member states hit hardest by COVID-19.

Nope, I witnessed the rise of populism in Hungary, its a very interesting story. Mostly because its a small country, so its easier to see behind the curtains and because its in the border of the west-east influence zone.

Hungary had far right activist since it was freed from the soviet union (MIEP [1] and early Jobbik [2] ), but these were very different from the ones today. They hated the Soviet union and Russia with a passion, since they occupied Hungary for 40 years. Another prominent feature of them was hating on jews. Also they never had any significant popularity, most ppl saw them just as wackos.

Then around 2010 something happened. The far right (mostly Jobbik at this time) reversed its stance on Russia and started hating the EU and US within like half a year (also they stopped their anti-jew rhetoric). Also small, dubious news sites and started popping up which praised Putin so much I thought it was a joke. Same thing happened in conspiracy sites - a few years earlier they content was about UFOs, lizard men, angels etc. and suddenly political articles praising Putin started appearing in them e.g. [3].

After these changes moving away from straight nazi stuff Jobbik started to become more and more popular, so much that Fidesz felt threatened. (around 2010 Fidesz was center-right). So they started saying the same things as Jobbik (and discrediting them, e.g. spreading fake news that the party's head was muslim), just louder, and with more $$$ backing them up wich leads to today.

So IMO it was a carefully planned operation from Russia (support extremist voices to start infighting in the EU) that turned out very well. They are of course not 100% responsible (the other part is the PC culture taken too far), just gave a kick in the right direction.

In the famous case of the individual placed into an unmarked van by unidentified federal agents, there was no arrest, and no access to a lawyer (and no trial in court). There was only an abduction, which was over after some number of hours.

If the agents were arresting people, giving them access to lawyers, and taking them to court, the issues would be very different.

The only non-NVidia device you can actually use that has broad support outside basic models in software is Google's TPUs.

Graphcore looks great! But no one outside Graphcore has used them so who knows. Intel's Nervana looked great on paper, right up until they dumped it.

There are some interesting accelerator options around for inference. But for training it's NVidia for almost everything, and TPUs as a good option is a few cases. But you can't buy TPUs (except for the inference-only Coral board), and universities like to own hardware.

Why g Matters: The Complexity of
Everyday Life

Personnel selection research provides much evidence that intelligence (g) is an important predictor of performance in training and on the job, especially in higher level work. This article provides evidence that g has pervasive utility in work settings because it is essen- tially the ability to deal with cognitive complexity, in particular, with complex information processing. The more complex a work task, the greater the advantages that higher g confers in performing it well. Everyday tasks, like job duties, also differ in their level of complexity. The importance of intelligence therefore differs systematically across differ- ent arenas of social life as well as economic endeavor. Data from the National Adult Literacy Survey are used to show how higher levels of cognitive ability systematically improve individuals’ odds of dealing successfully with the ordinary demands of modem life (such as banking, using maps and transportation schedules, reading and understanding forms, interpreting news articles). These and other data are summarized to illustrate how the advantages of higher g, even when they are small, cumulate to affect the overall life chances of individuals at different ranges of the IQ bell curve. The article concludes by suggesting ways to reduce the risks for low-IQ individuals of being left behind by an increasingly complex postindustrial economy.
IMO, that sounds exactly like the greybeards weren't there to advocate for "one step at a time" and "get the debug tools working first".

GDPR Article 6 spends a lot of time defining ‘necessary’ use. It says that ‘processing data’ - which is defined very broadly and includes accessing it - is only legal if it is for a ‘necessary purpose’ - either necessary to accomplish contracted work for a customer, comply with the law, or some few other permitted categories.

Combined with, as you say, that GDPR also states as a matter of principle data must be “processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing” - I would take that as meaning you can’t just leave data openly accessible to people who don’t need to process it and rely on them not accessing data they don’t need, you are expected to protect the data against that risk. I.e. secure access to data so it can only be processed for necessary purposes.

It is possible for small organizations that ‘telling Janet she isn’t allowed to look in the customer accounts spreadsheet’ is an adequate control but as organizations get bigger obviously the expectation that technical controls should be in place expands.

Grow your online presence starting today
I created my profile on Twitter in 2015 but until recently I have been just a consumer of content on the platform. I never posted anything and didn't understand the importance of giving it back to the twitter community.

Around two month back, I started following this person Daniel Vassallo who had quit his 500k job at Amazon in Feb 2019 as he had lost motivation at his job. Since then he has grown his twitter profile from 150 followers to 35k followers in little over an year.

It's amazing how one can influence people by providing valuable content on Social media. And in the process of creating content, you'll learn a lot yourself. Its unbelievable.

Daniel has a course on Gumroad where he explains how he was able achieve this by building his credibility.

I bought his course and absolutely loved it. After buying this course I've been a active content creator and I'am friends really great people.

I just wanted to share this with Hacker News community if someone is interested to grow their online presence as well.

Here's is the course link: https://gumroad.com/a/238777459/PBkrO

I hopped on Live Chat, they apologized, initiated a return - few weeks later I get a semi-threatening email from Amazon telling me that the Dyson fan I sent back "wasn't sent back in its original condition" - I hopped on Live Chat and made sure everything was ok with my account (it was) - but still, ..wtf. this is a problem.

You're catching a lot of flack but in my experience this is true. We always leave the leftovers with the students who attended as (1) all students, regardless of school can always use some good leftovers, (2) the logistics and health concerns make this pretty much impossible.

The article on interferometry implied that this is "just" a matter of computational difficulty - the higher frequency means that more accuracy and computing power is needed to resolve an image. Is that right?

If so, surely this is a Moore's Law problem, solved by waiting a few years for the needed computing power to be cheap enough to use?

100% agreement. Some nonsense is dangerous.
I understand but what I meant by "once" was "exactly once", meaning the first round of the first fight in the championship. It's easy to spot a one trick pony because that's all they try. The second time the opponent would just overwhelm him with superior technique and physical force, we're talking about a national championship, there's no shortage of those. There's only so much pushing you can do when you're met with a kick to the head. And the weight advantage is meaningless once you realize weigh-in tricks have been used since forever, he'd just meet another guy who did the same.

No, the more I look at this the more I realize the story of the regular guy exploiting loopholes to win a championship is a good "how the little guy won" story but also a complete fabrication. It's only good for the circle-jerk media, he gets to sell himself as special, they get to fill their pages with something.

All of his claims in general seem to always reference some "evidence" that's never available in any form. A con-man using his cons to sell his cons. His old [1] and new [1] bios are pretty telling, his achievements tend to come and go.

Some of the suburbs described here really baffle me, because of how unpractical it seems for a country that is otherwise quite focused on optimizing things for the "lazy" and businesses supposedly popping up and flourishing wherever there is opportunity.

I get that, if you have a car it probably doesn't bother you, but the amount of logistics to have your children and maybe elderly no longer able to drive shipped around for everything must be enormous? I don't have kids but just from remembering what me and my siblings did on ourselves (from getting hair cut to going to sport clubs) from kindergarten age onwards, by walking and later cycling. I'd have to hire a driver. I only remember ever been in the car as a kid when going to another city or weekend trips.

They should be, shouldn't they?

They're physical luxury goods that deteriorate as you use them, like cars. They appreciate largely because of nearby corporate and government investment (in office complices, schools, utilities).

That people make money off of them suggests that the government isn't being nearly aggressive enough about capturing the value it's creating here.

For pedestrians, yes that type of road is fairly dangerous. But for cars it's not too bad, drivers know they need to pay attention and nobody is going at high speeds. It's also easier than you might think to see oncoming cars, especially when it's dark and their headlights are on.

Fortunately/unfortunately that type of road is becoming slightly less prevalent, as efficient modern farming means hedges are maintained less than they were historically and they either get chopped down or neglected and end up growing into larger trees that are much easier to see through.

Full marks to Cloudflare for engineering a radically effective and simple alternative to AWS Lambda (+API Gateway): It is simply a fantastic Serverless offering for low-latency network-bound workloads. For paying customers, they even thrown in freemium access to their globally distributed KV store and a forever-free Zonal Cache to sweeten the already good enough deal. That said, good luck with their Support team in case you discover undocumented limits (in production) like these [0].

I got sent a (frustratingly incorrect) bot reply to a ticket and a reminder that Enterprise / Business / Pro customers are priority (in that order) even though I pay for Workers. It has been an uphill battle to get someone to take a look at the ticket so far. Thankfully, we haven't gone to production yet, but as a consequence, now need to plan to add mitigation in scenarios where Workers blacks-out our traffic (but Support can't be of immediate help because "free customer").
