Canada is similar to the US in terms of food consumption, and yet Canada has much better health care outcomes and lower health care expenditures. I'm not saying food isn't a factor, I'm just wondering how big a factor it is compared to universal access to health care.

I never saw that one, and the controversy is hilarious.

"Larson took the unusual step of issuing a press release, explaining the joke and apologizing for the confusion caused:

The cartoon was intended to be an exercise in silliness. While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, they (the tools) would lack something in sophistication and resemble the sorry specimens shown in this cartoon. I regret that my fondness for cows, combined with an overactive imagination, may have carried me beyond what is comprehensible to the average Far Side reader.

Larson further explained that he was inspired by the idea that tool use was the characteristic that separated mankind from the rest of the animal kingdom."
The President of the US is elected by the people, not his party. The only thing the party can do to the president is to sabotage the next election and give it to the opposite party. While Democrats probably think its a rational thing for Republicans to do, some Republicans might disagree.
Agreed. The edge of absurdity is still funny though, the boundaries just shift over time, and new creativity finds it. I would argue that Sean Tejaratchi is one to chart such waters:

The trouble is that this screen isn't just for entering your password. On my logon screen, I have not only the PIN field (because I enabled the TPM-based Windows Hello feature), but also these other links or buttons: "I forgot my PIN", "Sign-in options", network, Ease of Access, and power. So use of a full GUI framework, that supports accessibility tools such as a screen reader, is justified.
This attack on Garmin has already grounded aeroplanes.
I'm not the person you asked, but I also get tested often and quickly due to some work on physical access controls.

Often being: once a week. Not considered often compared to physical contact workers, but considered often compared to work-from-home workers. Heck, even considered often compared to the entire continent of North America.

Quickly being: drive-in test or walk-in test that is done in 5 minutes, results within 3 days, usually within 24h, either by SMS text message or phone call (depending on the test center).

Test center appointments are generally divided based on proximity, there are 4 test centers nearby for me (4 kilometres to max 30 kilometres -- sadly the one closest is usually queued up full for 1 or 2 days). So far my experience has been that they are very efficient; a lot of open space, about 6 people physically there at the most, testing room is about the size of a shipping container, one person doing the tests, one person observing/checking/entering data. The most efficient one was actually in a parking lot next to the hospital that also has a lab where they do mass testing. There is space for about 30 cars, but they regulate the appointments in a way that even when some people come early only 4 cars are there. Half the spaces are blocked/crossed out, entry and exit are made using ramps and zigzags (if that makes sense) so they are very accessible but also naturally prompt people to keep their distance (aside from the stickers/billboards all over the place). Because it's a single-direction flow for both cars and people and the people flow exit ends where the car parking flow starts you never run in to anyone getting in or out.
As long as "cheaper" option (i.e. without armed team) is still available, i guess it is still a good outcome, considering everything 2077-else? :)
Nice setup, no doubt, but it's a bit of the "more money than I know what to do with" setup. I've set up mine as following

1. just get one ultra wide. I've had 3 or 4 monitors before. his setup with another monitor on either end strikes me as borderline insane/gratuitous. plus then you can consider different graphics cards.

2. mic: blue yeti pro

3. webcam: just my Android smartphone with droidcam installed. With blu-tack and having a bunch of three prong powerpoint plastic safety things for my toddler, I've rigged them up as the mounts/tripods.

4. logitech Master 3 mouse

5. mechanical keyboard

5. computer I haven't upgraded for almost 10 years (this is likely the year), but as hinted in the post, AMD seems obviously the way to go right now.

6. seat: I've actually got a kneeling chair because of limited space. I don't mind it but I agree that chair is a necessary expense.

7. desk: actually a custom cabinetry job off the side of my bedroom: possibly a spot where I've one upped him.

I think my setup will soon be approaching his in terms of practical capability, but probably cost 4 to 5 digits less...
My experience is totally the opposite. In fact, at work we are now migrating many of our computers from GNOME to KDE because we are really tired of GNOME's bugs (and it's "too simple to the point of being useless" interface).

I can buy that I guess.

Probably the main philosophical disagreement I have with the article is summed up by (and probably the rest of the article was tainted by) the opening line:

> I was searching around for a quote along the lines of you only being as good as the tools you use

I personally (fully aware it's a quirk of mine that others don't seem to share) feel that fancy tools are often a crutch for a lack of understanding.

Granted, this guy looks to have a long list of accomplishments, so good for him for wanting a fancy set up. If it brings him joy then more power to him.

I think the latency becomes most problematic when it's inconsistent, and if you want to fix input errors, or move the cursor and then input something.

I've experimented with video games with various amounts of display lag or dropped frames; nothing blinded or anything (although, setting up a blind test sounds fun), and there's clearly an increase in difficulty the farther you get between input and response. Writing code is clearly not Mario Brothers, but small delays can add up.
I realize all states do this, but your response does not address my intended point. That's my fault, I will improve my point.

1. My reading of the proposal, and the reason I dislike the proposal: if a state uses federal funds for any community development project, some forcing function will cause them to stop single family zoning. This jeopardizes single family zoning in all states, since it has tied funding to all community development spending rather than specifically to federal funds going to single family zoning. Even if a state stops directing federal funds to single family zoned communities, they are still encouraged to not create single family zoned communities.

2. A proposal I would be more comfortable with: if a state uses federal funds specifically to fund single family funded communities, they must move toward ending single family zoning. States can continue receiving federal funds as long as they don't spend them on single family zoned communities.

[edit follows]

> You know, I find this conversation pretty ironic in the context of this thread. It's clear you haven't researched this issue at all but are willing to announce fairly strong opinions about it based on nothing more than an obvious mischaracterization by the president.

Disagree it is ironic, disagree it is clear I haven't researched it, but I agree I am shameless in announcing my strong opinions. Hopefully my clarification above gives you something clearer to bite into.
eFPGAs vs. FPGA Chiplets
Call me naive, but isn't simply completing every live hackthebox.eu box a good way to get some practice in to apply for certain security roles? Hacking 20 boxes on various levels to me seems that you have what it takes. The easy ones are Metasploit and so on. The medium ones are attacks like SQLi or injection into MongoDB. The hard ones are simply a chain of those things with a lot less intelligence to go on. The insane ones also put some binary analysis or C vulnerabilities in there (e.g. heap overflows or ROP attacks of stripped binaries).

Then again, I'm far too early in my career to know whether simply rooting all live boxes is good enough. Doing so myself has definitely helped me at my job as a full-stack developer to make the company I work at more secure.

Here's an example of an "insane" box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8XkVDRtTQg

I was taught that zucchinis and cucumbers should have their ends cut off and rubbed to make them less bitter. A quick search suggests that might be related to this, although opinions are inconclusive.
That is comforting. I will research this.

[Edit] the specific line from Biden's plan that included "states" which gave me the initial idea this policy applies to states rather than individual communities. "Biden will enact legislation requiring any state receiving federal dollars through the Community Development Block Grants or Surface Transportation Block Grants to develop a strategy for inclusionary zoning"

I will continue researching nonetheless. It may just be misleading copy.
What a worthless comment. Not HN worthy. Try harder.
There are tons of random reports of this too on Reddit and 4Chan, it's interesting to read and see the screenshots. You have random people saying the Government is lying and they'll plant it anyway to people saying it's typical Chinese Amazon scams to harvest reviews.

It has to go through Congress though so take it with a pinch of salt.

That’s pseudoscience.

Regardless of any minor variability in metabolism, you literally cannot get fat from things you don’t put in. This is like high school or middle school physics. This is by far the biggest factor in obesity (consumption).. such that everything else is essentially irrelevant. People with actual metabolism disorders either die or require replacement of enzymes, whether that’s type 1 diabetes or the rarer metabolism disorders.

If you eat high volume foods with calories at or below what you’re expending, you will not get fat, full stop. Starving people aren’t fat.

There are of course behavioral differences that dictate consumption, some of which are genetically influenced, but metabolism has not much to do with it.

I recently reread Ted Chiang's Exhalation, which explores a similar question on existence from a very alien perspective. For some reason, this rereading, the bit at the end hit me a lot harder than when I read it before.

Although your idea is cooler :)
It sounds very alarmist, but on a close reading, it makes two observations:

1. We have no idea what kind of seeds they are, and they could be invasive.

2. The packages originate from China.

The juxtapoisition of the fact that they could be invasive and that the packages originate from China make it sound like a Chinese plot.

They never actually connect those dots, though.
You think that other countries don't have housing, education and healthcare policies?
Their official statement is they don't know and it's also possible for the growing conditions to cause this.

These seeds are probably worth $300 to them. They will destroy them and move on.

I've seen no evidence it's even known to be the Zucchinis.

This is a science issue and more boringly a public health issue. Like you say, what if it is the soil for instance.

I've been a fan of Micro, which is in a similar space. Like Express, I think the existence of an ecosystem of middlewares would be key to adoption - not necessarily many, but enough to cover common needs (parse cookie, handle uploads, etc).

Thanks you for warm words about DVC :)

`dvc import` can connect multiple datasets in a repository. It also preserves the "link" to the dataset that you can update/downgrade.

Class/labels distributions for a dataset can be implemented with `dvc metrics` and new feature `dvc plots`. However, you will need to introduce a dvc pipeline, like an dataset evaluation step.

Re the model zoo for data - yes, we're working on "higher level" data artifacts (like ML models on top of the basic data management layer). Stay tuned for a release soon.

PS: I'm one of the DVC creators.

With the trade war and espionage stuff heating up the cold war with China, one wonders if the Chinese Communist Party crack down on this to try to defend China's reputation and conserve their political capital for more substantial attacks on US, or encourage it to antagonize US into war?

What happens if US Customs cracks down on Chinese import fraud and drives up the cost of importing product? I always thought that cracking down on illegal-in-US behaviors like pollution and worker mistreatment would be a more morally defensible and socio-economically beneficial trade battle than arbitrary and capricious tariffs.
That's a good tip about the segmenting text, will have to keep that in mind next time.

> And then there's a swath of conservatives that don't think they're racist

You do realize you are taking a gigantic group of people and classifying them all as having some property without knowing the person at all, sounds discriminatory.

And realize you used the word conservative, not Republican, so don't base it on policy decisions that people support as we all known Republicans do not represent conservative policies in most cases you are concerned about. These are two different things which are not inclusive or mutually exclusive.
