The sugar in fruit is not poisonous and encourages you to eat it so you can carry the seeds to another location but you're not meant to chew or digest the seeds. Nuts are similar to seeds in this way.

"the virus is still a coronavirus"

That's always something i wonder every time i read about covid-19 : are we sure that those effects aren't also observed with other coronaviruses, maybe on a different intensity, but we just never had so much scrutiny for thoses virus as we have on this one in particular ?

Diarrheas etc are common symptoms of many viral infections, and people die from side effects of the flu or the cold every year ( old people most of the time).

Is the difference qualitative or quantitative ?
I used to be a big fan of these watches; cheap, durable, has an alarm and a chronometer, doesn't look completely dorky, and they even acquired a certain coolness factor at some point. When I bought one at a watch store in Turkey, the owner asked me whether I was going to the military; apparently it's pretty much a must have for new conscripts, thanks especially to the alarm that wakes you up for guard duty. I stopped buying new ones, though, because the strap is pretty much guaranteed to rip after a year or so, and a replacement strap costs as much as the watch.

I don't think that's a solution. While I really, really like Shopify as an ecommerce platform its usage alone tells you nothing about the legitimacy of the seller. Indexing all products on a certain platform just seems like another marketplace to me.

Try underclocking your CPU to like 30% of its max speed and see if your programs still run comfortably.

This would've made sense in a world where programs didn't become more bloated and slower over time, but it would have visible repercussions given our software today.
Antonio Granell on tasteless tomatoes (2012)
Not true. The Han were not being murdered by Uighurs regularly. And every housing development has a gate and guardhouse, almost always has been like that since the danwei days.
What is true is that the Han have been scared into fearing the Uighur by twisted news reporting. And once they are scared, any action by a minority looks scary. It’s also true that Uighur have lashed out after horrible treatment at the hands of the incoming Han. It’s understandable but regrettable, especially when the news reports only the one side.
And yet, there are plenty of good relationships between the two peoples, but we never hear about that either. There are people on the ground trying to overcome hatred.

I'm not missing that point, and actually agree with you re: HFCS replacing fat in processed foods.

You're just being harmfully imprecise with your claim, because it implies non-HFCS sweeteners aren't poison - according to UCSF no less. The fructose is the poison, and it's not HFCS-specific. It happens that HFCS is the thing that's everywhere thanks to corn subsidies, sure, but there's still plenty of non-HFCS fructose sources on the shelves of stores that are equally harmful. You're not in the clear by specifically avoiding HFCS.

I observe overweight strangers in the grocery store checkout isle extolling the virtues of eating sugar but not HFCS as they toss candy on the conveyor about once a month. It's rather depressing.

That would explain some of the excess mortality from the covid situation. Besides the induced poverty, this is one mechanism whereby the lock down could have longer lasting damage than the virus.

We can’t judge this yet though, as we don’t have a 10 year lens to look back on what is going on. If there is no vaccine developed, then it is more likely true (since the lockdown just delays the inevitable).

Yes those shifts are needed, but in some cities/countries (talking Europe here for example) that has been going on already. Resulting in more parking spaces including surveillance, and police caring about bike theft (data point: my fairly normal bike has been stolen twice, and brought back by the police twice, thanks to the engraved serial number, and that was over a decade ago). Also with electric bicycles reaching price levels of small cars and becoming way more common, law enforcement gets pushed automatically towards caring, I think.

2) After also doing a little bit of research and surveying the competitive arena, Stripe Atlas normally delivers all documents in 12 to 14 business days, and that does not include the bank processing yet. While in Dunster.io, that is already included in our average processing time of 7 business days.
3) Why is this happening? Because our competitors are still using manual processes which turned into a major roadblock when Covid19 started, extended the waiting time of founders by 4 to 6 months instead of weeks. A lot of incorporation service companies are not paying attention on the value of heavily incorporating technology on incorporating startups, but now we know, because thousands, if not millions, of businesses were affected. According to World Economic Forum, there's a global increase in entrepreneurial activity because people are losing jobs, utilizing their skills and build their own startups to service, and having them wait for months to legally operate is not helping at all.
4) Have we tested our platform on real life startups or customers to claim that 7 business is really possible despite Covid19? YES, we are consistently getting paid clients, 100% delivered in 7 to 9 business days including bank accounts and debit cards.
Yeah, this situation seems quite worrying. It was already worrying with only two x86 companies (VIA is leagues behind).

It would also be nice to have some capable foundries in Europe, like STM or Infineon. Just in case.
In fact it really was anti-authoritarian.

Just a simple comparison to western democraties. In a typical democracy the parties list candidates and you vote for them.

For 86 of those years, ownership of another human being was the law of the land and for all of it rampant discrimination against any not of English Protestant ancestry was pervasive, so for a start there was that.

From 1862 to 1934, over 1.6 million homesteads were created through the Federal Government. For a filing fee of $18 (~$200--$500 in 2020), and five years sweat equity, a 21 year old male could claim 5-640 acres by building on and working it. Homesteading continued as a vastly reduced practice, though remaining an option, until 1976 in the lower 48 and Alaska until 1986. Open range provided for additional livilihood based on unowned acreage for ranchers, and mining stakes were prospected throughout the West. But by 1890, the notion that there was unsettled land for the taking had passed; the frontier was closed.

Not that this access was available to all; blacks, Native Americans (this was originally their land), Mexicans, Chinese, Catholics, and other non-Anglo groups were routinely denied rights to land.

Prior to 1860, unorganised squatting was common. A Free Soil movement, based in part of free or cheap land grants to white farmers also emerged.

Too at the time, wage labour was relatively uncommon -- many households were effectively their own businesses, most farmsteads, others practicing trades or professions. The rise of factories, railroads, steel mills, and coal mines gradually shifted this balance. But exposure to the money economy was often lower than now. Less upside perhaps, but also less systemic risk for most households.

Life expectencies were far lower than today: 49.3 years in 1901, 60.2 in 1934, 78.8 today. Pensions tended to be private, often failing, or support offered through multigenerational households (an idea whose time may be returning). Those living to old age often found themselves with no means of subsistence. Social Security had a solid basis in real lived pain.

There were frequent economic crises and panics.

And those people are more or less fed with the food bought with those food stamps. Actual malnutrition is vanishingly rare in the US.

Yes, they might not get the most nutritious or balanced diet but they get the calories they need, oftentimes too many.

This is exactly the kind of moving target the parent is complaining about. Pretty much everyone is fed. But people then move the goalposts and pretend the progress didn't happen because they're not fed nutritiously enough or it requires too much work, etc, etc. I'm not denying that there's more work to do but it's folly to pretend that western nations have not more or less solved hunger compared to the situation even 50yr ago.
It's maybe worth considering that the surpluses generated from globalism are not being distributed evenly. It doesn't mean that the standard of living of any group is going down.

I rarely go to Walmart, but every few years I do in the USA, and it constantly blows my mind. The quantity, price and quality of 'stuff' in there ... you can live extremely well compared to anyone in 1970 just off Walmart.

I submit that the surpluses are going to consumers, but because we don't price them (i.e. the added value to you in savings or quality doesn't go on the books), it's not part of the equation.

At least in most material ways, the Western World's 'cup runneth over with stuff' ... a lot of which we do not need and is therefore luxury.

The financial profits stack up in the top 10%.

It's unsustainable, but it's not all bad news.

The other 'Elephant in the Room' nobody will talk about are the surpluses to middle class yielded form undocumented workers. The US has 10-20M people 'off the books' working for crap wages, no health insurance. That is a huge part of why everything is so cheap in America. Particularly food and restaurants (the whole value chain is migrant workers it seems).

The #1 thing America could do to reduce inequality would be to force companies to pay a real minimum wage. 1/2 the undocumented workers would be out of a job, the others would see pay increases.

All jobs have to come with healthcare, or at least pay enough such that the income can cover a basic healthcare.gov package or else - what's the point? Collect taxes and redistribute via medicare?

Taxation at the high end could be increased somewhat.

Pushing some of those surpluses into the hands of working people would be a massive boon for the economy.

It's a little exaggerated, or at least what we mostly have/want in practice is 'access to' - since in reality the dad doesn't stand on a box for the sake of it, and he probably holds his smaller child rather than place him precariously on two.
> Large tools from bureaucratic enterprises are useless (that's a given)

There are plenty useful tools that are large and built by bureaucratic enterprises. Stuff like ERP systems just has so many features to cover and tax laws to implement that it most likely can genuinely not be built by a small team.

(Disclosure: I work for such an enterprise, though I'm not involved in the development of software sold to customers.)
I’m not American, and yes it is democratic socialism (social democracy). What’s politically illiterate is avoiding the S-word at all costs when what you’re talking about is wealth redistribution.

Exactly. Arguing that there's no possible way to help everyone, while the top 1% are hoarding more and more is exactly how that same 1% want it.

Don't tax the job creators! Those billionaires earned every penny and didn't exploit anyone! We need to cut Amazon's taxes or they might not build another distribution center here that pays less than a living wage!
ASML?
Why would you assume that the requests are excessive and that FB is in the right? Given their track record against regulatory bodies it's quite rich to assume that and then derive a whole supporting comment out of it.

It's not sad, this is self-inflicted, FB played with fire and that has consequences, it doesn't matter how pretty to the outside their vision and mission statements are. What good intentions are there from FB? They talk the talk but don't walk the walk, and never had.
I’m taking about paid tools- gmail, google docs. And in Microsoft’s case Office.

I don’t think it’s better to go from recommendation, to X years of silence, to rollout. I’d rather know if something is prioritized and in progress. I’d like to plan for rollout. Maybe it changes my upgrade and purchase planning.

My main point is the current technique sucks and makes me want to use products less. I’ve used support forums for decades and they can be non frustrating when I feel I am part of a community.

The current method seems “us vs. then” with neglect for any meaningful change. They should just do better. Not perfect. Just not horrible.
From Google's point of view, it probably works as quite an effective filter. If a Google issue has made it to the HN front-page, it's probably worth looking at.

Of course, this doesn't absolve them of the matter of it being the only way to get support.
Taking the job which allows you to retain a greater portion of the value of your own labor is not "poaching". TSMC apparently decided they weren't worth enough to keep at that price.

I think first of all, conflict rewards itself, no? The conflict has a winner. What you are talking about (and the original article) is about fabricated fake conflicts. Well these ones have winners as well - the ones who fabricate them at least. And if you are on the receiving end of these outrages you are kind of forced to win it. And in doing so you might crush those who overextended their rage doing society a service.

Lots more could be said, but to keep it short I believe we can't simply ignore it.
What? How on earth would you conclude this from that I wrote?

I was replying to the idea that it is the "naturalist fallacy" to say that it is better to be develop good habits (in this case, eat better), than to just take some drugs and maintain the bad habits. Obese people should take the drugs, I don't wish for anyone to die. Even better for them would be to lose the weight.

The US has a huge (pun intended) obesity problem, and it seems related to worse health outcomes across several dimensions. This is just a fact.
Imagine trying to raise kids like that. You enroll them for school (whatever that means right now), not knowing whether you'll be able to maintain a residence within the school district for the entire school year. This is already the reality for many families, and this year it's going to be the reality for countless more.
Nobody seems to want to talk about delays.

I work at a hard tech startup, and all I have been seeing are delays in launching our product. I keep seeing more work as work gets done. Much of our progress till date has been incremental. It came from either fixing bugs in sprints or unlocking new capabilities by solving hard problems.

I have never understood the point of timing work. Work takes as much "time" as it needs for getting done. It can't be accurately estimated with out actually spending time actually working on it. Clarity seems to be the most critical piece for productivity for me. Drive that, and people just can't help but work. Dealing with drudgery seems inevitable.

Add on top of this people's incompetence or I should say unreadiness for situation, it irks the managers and people responsible for delivery. Delays cascade up. But I think most delays are due to unrealistic expectations of people higher up. Irony being the expectations set by the ones that are supposed to carry out the work.

If the Australian government cared enough about this issue, they could do something about it - policy changes to encourage financial institutions to be less risk-averse, to encourage more of a domestic venture capital industry to grow. But it isn’t a political priority.

Australia consistently has R&D spending below the OECD average (as percent of GDP). The Australian government could easily fix this, either by increasing public sector R&D funding, or increasing tax concessions for private R&D funding, or both. But they don’t, because it isn’t a political priority.

(And doesn’t culture have a great role to play in determining what is seen as a political priority, and what isn’t?)
> philosophy texts from that era that did the same

This makes sense. This isn't intended to be hurtful, but for a general audience, I'd suggest avoiding it. My first association was with Flat Earther and other nutter forums, where I think it's used as a misplaced appeal to authority, to look like Enlightenment-era texts.
It's worth remembering that just because you have a bubble of belief/knowledge it doesn't automatically make it scientific fact rather than anecdotally coinciding with some science.

For example, yes there is some research suggesting zinc (and related, vitamin D) may be very relevant with covid-19, but there isn't yet definitive understanding among experts yet alone us HN commenters.

Anecdotally: I often feel better after eating a pizza, dating back to before covid-19 existed, and despite my zinc levels being fine. I just really fucking love pizza.

All of us, whether we are trying to read every research paper released or not following anything except newspaper headlines, need to keep reminding ourselves that just as the experts will keep revising their beliefs to fit new findings, we need to keep checking if our own knowledge is correct, or if it might be either outdated and/or based on cognitive biases.

Personally I'm recommending friends/family to make sure that they are getting enough of various vitamins/minerals, while being very clear that my suggestion is a "can't do any harm to have the right levels of whatever" rather than "I'm sure this will help with covid".

But even if you have extra precision around 1.0, assuming that weight is used for multiplication (of an output from the previous layer), surely you'll lose it as soon as you perform that multiplication? E.g. if the previous layer output is 3.5 and you multiply it by 1.00...0063, you'll get 3.500...02205, but you'll lose those trailing places on the output unless you have lots of precision around 3.5 too.

I tried to think about ways round that with traditional floating point formats and nonlinear functions (i.e. using exp to change the multiplication to addition) but it seems to come back to the same problem.
