If your goal is to convince people and agree with your position, feel free to read the article but understand this is getting you nowhere close to your goal.

Convincing people of anything at a company starts way before by building rapport with people and other techniques. It is largely proven than with most people it is your current standing, perceived intent and subtle speech/visual cues that are more important than the actual content.

Want make it more likely people agree with you? Try to be helpful, ensure people consistently think they are better off agreeing with you. Ensure people are safe investing in cooperation with you (so no talking behind their backs, ensure if somebody achieved something you will attribute it to them even if they are not present). Ensure you listen to people and they don't get impression you are welcoming their point of view. Let people know when you make mistakes (I like to use this as learning opportunities). Congratulate people on their achievements even small, but never do this if you are going to sound banal.

Do this and you might be able to convince people of about everything and even if you make some mistakes they will let it slide.

If deficiency is linked to all these maladies then why aren’t we seeing them occur with less frequency in areas that get full sun year round?
There are thousands of reasonable hypothesis, and it is extremely costly (and in some cases, nearly impossible) to test.

e.g. our bodies need sunlight and cholesterol in order to synthesize vitamin D; This process also apparently has some other outputs like NO which are much harder to measure since they get used quickly. It is possible that vitamin D is merely (mostly) a measure of the prevalence of this process, and it is the other (harder to measure) outputs are much more important; Or that it's the consumption of cholesterol that's more important than the production of vitamin D; Or that sunlight has other functions we don't measure that are the important ones. Or that it's all just a correlation to some other process we're not even aware of.

That said, my own experience and anecdotally other people I know (and gwern has some blind n=1 experiments on his site to back this up) is that taking vitamin D early in the morning improves sleep at night, and taking vitamin D in the afternoon/evening reduces sleep quality. For that reason alone, I take vitamin D in the morning, and anecdotally, I burn less when I'm in the sun without sunscreen as well.

Being a Portland techie, I pay a tiny bit of attention to Puppet and I’d say I agree with your comment re: product portfolio, until about a year ago. They have actually killed off a number of things in recognition of this critique and are trying to bring back focus on a sane portfolio strategy.
Yeah, but affiliate marketing is a pretty raw deal for the person doing it because they carry all risk. It's just a job working in sales for other companies but without benefits.

There needs to be some adjustment for "your marketing/product is shit and will therefore be much harder to sell."

For the individual you are correct, which is why companies haven't had much trouble getting people to buy non-voting stock.

But for the system as a whole, it's pretty important that the shareholders have the ability to vote for board members who will protect their interests, even if the power doesn't get used very often. That's why the SP committee is pushing back against multiclass shares...if the company's management controls the voting shares then they control the board which is supposed to be overseeing them, removing even a vague threat of accountability in a system that's already far from perfect.
Then maybe not open it up at that fine grain a level. And that's too specific an example anyway, as the budgeting process is way more complex: https://www.usa.gov/budget

So really, the citizens' choice in my example would have be to designate percentages at the top level, say to DoJ, DoD, DHS, etc.

That in and of itself would put a lot of power back in the citizens' hands. Of course, I don't see this happening, but that would be transformative. And we'd see a lot of campaigning/advertising/propaganda from each Department asking for taxpayers to direct their funds to them...

But my original premise was that Congress is gridlocked and if you think they're not serving the citizens' best interests, then this is an alternative from left field.

I'm still on the fence about this. Until someone from my health care system comes out and states that the research looks good I am not going to eulogise it. Do I take vitamin supplements yes, would I say it produces the affect on covid patents to other people, no.
For other reasons I get tested for vitamin D every few months and managed to get my levels just above the normally recommended amount as per doctors advice. When people are saying they’re taking 25-100k UI a day I’m just stumped why they’d be doing that without medical advice, the amount to change my levels was nothing in comparison.
The responsibility of the US government is not to placate any citizen from another country, it's to protect its own citizens' data. Any Chinese app being used in your own country at a massive scale is a liability waiting to be (or already) used by the Chinese Govt.
I would frame it in the opposite direction: having a serious illness is correlated with low levels of Vitamin D. People with a serious illness may stay inside more, and go outside less. It's possible that "low levels" of Vitamin D are still within the healthy range, and they merely are an indication of how much time the person has spent outside during the day.

In other words, it's possible that Vitamin D is pure symptom. It's not even necessarily the case that going outside is healthy, but that healthy people tend to go outside more.
How exactly does that work though?

I'm not connived that every name in a data dump indicates a breach at a given company.

My thinking:

If someone gets a hold of a huge list of usersnaems and passwords from bobcompany.com, and then spams numerous sites with those logins to see if they work elsewhere ... and finds that a few work on joecompany.com then puts out that data.... joecompany.com might have their name listed somewhere in someone's data dump, but they didn't have a breach...
There is a fundamental difference between vitamin D generated in your skin versus vitamin D placed in your gut. The mechanisms by which it acts and the effects it has on you are probably radically different.

We are more than just a pile of various materials.
TL;DR: skip to the part "The areas in which meta-analyses have identified benefits from Vitamin D"

Also "Vitamin D failed to prevent cancer, stroke, heart attack, or cardiovascular death. "

Which is fair enough. But at least for the cardiovascular diseases mentioned, I don't think it was expected.

And of course, this does not mean anything against the role of Vitamin D in Covid prevention

I was under the impression they did this deliberately because it was a means to drive down supplier prices and alleviate liabilities (e.g., Visteon, Delphi)
That's a reasonable hypothesis. Another one is that it's a reverse causality: Several diseases may inhibit Vitamin D uptake.

And don't forget: It can be multiple causes combined. (I.e. it may be a mix of a confounder like being outside and reverse causality.)
Temperatures fall with elevation, about 3.5 °F (1.2°C) peer 1,000 ft of gain.

Much of this trip was at 8,000 ft. Temperatures would have been about 28°F (9.6°C) lower than at sea level. From a starting base of 100°F (37.7°C), the hikers would have seen 72°F (22.2°C) temperatures --- quite comfortable. Dry air also means sweat evaporates quickly, cooling effectively.

This effect alone is a large element of the High Sierra's appeal during summertime.

I have asked this in several forums but didn't get any satisfactory answer.

How does one get started in dark web monitoring for intelligence, like finding these leaked databases or confirming/denying the reports of data leak in "the dark web".
That is a reasonable hypothesis. Also, people who are very ill are less likely to get outside and get enough sun, so they will develop low Vitamin D. Vitamin D is likely a marker of poor health. (Once the Vitamin D gets low enough, we do see direct harmful effects from it (think rickets in children), and this may contribute to poor health at that point.)
Please don't compare protests like this, it never looks good.
Shouldn't they be looking at getting vitamin D via sun exposure, rather than supplementation? If the real benefit is sun exposure, which also increases vitamin D, then just supplementing vitamin D won't show any benefits.
But your over-the-air updates!
What fascists?
And what is the problem with "runk"?
As a USian I read it the same way. I have read about 'runc' before. I suppose its authors might prefer //run-see// but I just like the sound of //runk//.
Do areas that get full sun year round have people with more vitamin D? Those places have people with darker skin which blocks vitamin D production. Actually, the only reason white people exist in the first place is because of vitamin D, so you would expect vitamin D to have strong positive effects based on this fact alone.
Your 'real' situation contains fallacies. How is Russia involved in money transfers to Ukraine? UAH is hryvna. Ukraine has it's own currency since 1991. RUB is used in Russia.
Possibly heading for a civil war stoked by the country's president in both cases (one trying to paint his trickster self as a man of law and order, one trying to hold on to power after yet-another mock election). Though the parts of the protests we get to see from Belarus look far more civilized than the pictures coming in from the US.
I remember Cisco, Qualcomm, and Amazon falling 80-90% last tech crash.
Protests in Belarus are way more civilized than recent protests in both Portland and the rest of USA. The difference is stark, shocking, and puzzling.
>communicating openly and freely over the internet doesn't seem like much of a problem

This is an oversimplification. Communication is the foundation for nearly 100% of all events - good, evil, and neutral. It doesn't make sense to just call it good or bad as part of an argument.

> Bregman is horrified by the Holocaust, as anyone who believes in the goodness of humankind must be. He suggests that people will indeed do nasty things on a mass scale if they are convinced that it is for the greater good. It was not inherent nastiness that led to the Holocaust, Bregman suggests, but years of indoctrination.

How about all the mega-killers in history - Genghis Khan, Timur, Alexander, Napoleon? It seems to me that will-to-power is innate, it doesn't require indoctrination or appeal to greater good.
This is obviously wrong, because there are entire classical traditions (centuries or millennia long) from outside of Europe that prioritize musical features beyond traditional western harmony. Any claim that harmonic complexity is fundamental to human experience or uniquely valuable among musical expression is ignorance at best.
Why I deleted my LinkedIn account? Literally the baddest UX ever. Lots of self-serving, self-promoting, click-baiting people. There is a thing called web. In this thing you can have a blog, in this thing called blog you can actually reach your ideal audience. LinkedIn is a tool created from the start to serve a corporate idea, which in my view is useful if executed with a boundaries. Where are LinkedIn boundaries? They don't exist.
I saw this story on the Chronicle and had the same takeaway, but that's probably because I knew there were people who barely escaped with their lives via helicopter (like you pointed out).
The issue isnt the lack of clicks perse, its the fact that LI and others digital ad providers charge so much for something that is neither market driven nor validated by independent auditors. $45 per click? People need to know that LI just made that figure up based on cursory examination of competitive fees. They price their traffic based on guesses and and then add 10-30% every few days to see how much people will spend. If they spend more, its worth more... But its the furthest thing from market based pricing as there is literally no open market or visual competition for the traffic for 99% of all ads served on these platforms.

Imagine owning a gas station on an island and charging as much as you want. $50 per gallon, $100 per gallon and then, not even delivering a full gallon! That's the same thing here. Without competition or regulation the prices are set by greed and greed alone.
Exposure to UV light is not "so harmful".

What is harmful is being indoors all the time, and getting out so rarely that you get sunburned in short amount of time. Far more damage is done by being indoors too much than being outdoors too much.

The white skin has evolved because the body needs sun and UV light to function, one would die otherwise.
I’m fairly confident thinking alone (without duress or chemical stimulants) doesn’t cause brain damage beyond a temporary headache or insomnia - though if you can find something specific I’d be interested.
The fact that users do not see the behavior as the same is the problem. When the users are telling you how they use your software and you respond by saying "that's bizarre, don't do that", then there's a serious disconnect. Developers should be responsive to user feedback, not dictate how their software should be used.
The Russian government is determined to not quite assassinate people with a toxin that is uniquely associated with them. They do this to defend against "the opposition", which gets stronger and injected with more foreign state support every time this happens. It's difficult to understand the minds of dictators.
No, nothing wrong with you. People are just interested in different things.

I love posts that geek out over low level memory stuff, but I literally avoided learning ANY Javascript framework until this year, to the detriment of many former interviews.

Neither is better. The most important thing you can do is expose yourself to a lot of different influences and then just drill down into what you're interested in, without having to justify it or apologize for it.

It's amazing where following your real interests will lead you, and the world that it will reveal to you. If you instead try to force-feed yourself, you won't learn much, because you won't stick to it.

Ask HN: Where have all the conversations gone?
I'm starting to feel as though the web has become 'emptier' over the past few years. Blogs are still about but comment sections don't (imo) really make for good conversation. HN is one of my staples but it's similar in that often there are some good threads but there's not a lot of actual conversation flow - most comments are one-offs.

Reddit feels hollowed out, even subs I used to follow with 500,000+ members aren't vibrant anymore. Twitter is just people yelling at each other (or into the void).

There are invite only Slacks & Discords, I'm a member of a few but they often feel very haphazard.

Where are you finding rich, rewarding conversations on the web these days? Has everything moved to Zoom rooms? I feel I might have missed the memo *

* I am aware there is real life, but obviously this year has put a bit of a dampener on that. I've also been working remote for virtually the whole year.

Linked does not mean caused by. In fact, this entire post is laying out the evidence that low Vitamin D is unlikely to cause any of these illnesses.
Even if there were all in one place it would be a good overview or an easy place to lookup but the list is not even far from complete.
They do; probably xhtml/XML is not really an ideal format because it isn't easily linearalizable, but if ereaders are using a reduced set of the functionality, then they can probably safely assume that they can just split the file at a <p> or <mpb:chapter> tag without loss of fidelity, and just consider that all style-related content needs to occur in <head>.

My comment below has some remarks on pagination and reflowing that mean that a reflowable HTML file capable of being rendered by an ereader is likely subject to certain restrictions on the content to make it work. There would probably have to be a one-time indexing job (noting paragraph and chapter breaks to allow random-ish access into the file) but I think that's not crazy even for a very large document.
And it is how taxi lines work or worked in the US. App-based hailing changed this, since there is no longer a designated physical place where the line would exist. Building a virtual-line, makes plenty of sense, and in hind-sight was something overlooked.
The most obvious evidence to me has always been that Europeans are not black. A change like the loss of melanin requires selective pressure, which in this case was likely furnished by less vitamin D as we migrated away from the equator. The pressure must have been significant since being white carries a big downside: higher vulnerability to sunburn and skin cancer. When I lived in Cali I always envied my darker skinned friends who did not have to smear goo on themselves at the beach.

I gotta say though... the world would have far less race problems had that odd little quirk of photosynthesis of a key nutrient not existed.
> but actually their tooling is pretty awesome

huh. That's not been my experience. To me, it looks like they stopped improving things circa 2005. Things that are new tend to be half-baked (.NET integration, OOP language features). No command line compiler (although you can write one yourself and a java-based community project exists), no linting or other static analysis tools. Their IDE is eclipse-based and frequently crashes when working with GUI for .NET. The autocomplete and in-IDE documentation that it provides is terrible- missing methods, not context aware, etc. They have a docker image, but only for their app-server product. I'm currently building a REST API using their app server product and I keep running into stumbling blocks. I've built similar APIs in PHP and Python and those were (largely) easy- I could focus on the problem and not the tooling. Here, I keep stumbling over things that work differently than anywhere else or that aren't well documented at all.

Their earlier stuff is quite impressive when you judge it by the time. They just seem to have fossilized.

Thanks for asking this, by the way.

Going back to intentionally look through a few things for examples is helping me better clarify why I've had this impression slowly building up...

1. Some Shellcheck code titles/short messages communicate uncertainty well, but some others can read as more confident/absolute than the situation merits.

2. Broadly, Shellcheck tends to steer people away from word-splitting. Word-splitting can be a surprising PITA, so I get it. But, it's also a critical concept for understanding shell.

If you are reluctantly writing Bash/shell, it's good to have Shellcheck help you avoid it. If you want or need to understand the language, you're going to have to grapple with word-splitting to get there.
