I agree but I wonder if there's more points?

6) Emotional support. I see less and less large people out and about and more mostly attractive people hanging outside over the past decade. I have to wonder if this is in part due to social media:

a) Less attractive people feel like they deserve less social status (not sure if this is a USA-specific cultural thing but it's definitely a thing here)

b) Because of point a, spend more online because of the heightened feeling of not deserving of making friends

c) Social media is absolute junk, the more time you spend on it naturally the worse you're going to feel

d) Feedback loop of spending more time online, feeling bad, spending less time outside with physical contact causing worse physical health, causing even more time spent online, repeat for decades

More attractive people are naturally going to feel more deserving of love and emotional support and more likely to seek it out because of our culture, despite really we should all feel equally deserving of love and support. But this feedback mechanism I think exists breaks that feeling of deserving mental/physical fitness which is causes awful mental/physical fitness.
A happy namecheap customer here. Moved from Godaddy to namecheap because they revealed me as the owner of a domain I was using for activism. Caused me a lot of harassment.
While it's only available for iOS/iPadOS/macOS, I can't recommend Debit and Credit enough: https://debitandcredit.app/

It's a very straightforward application for logging, categorizing your transactions. The UI is clean and simple, the features like Budgets/Plans/Scheduled Transactions are great, the visualization features are meh, but I don't use them that much. Another great thing is how easy it is to reach out to the developer. I've personally asked for a feature through Twitter and had that patched in within a week.
i think about this issue a lot. humans as tribal story tellers always require a meta narrative to put events into an understandable format. even if there is no story arc, no protagonist and no villian. as our world becomes more complex, with intractable dependencies between automated complex systems, our world becomes less understandable. more and more there are fewer and fewer "man in the loop" events. our infrastructure is on autopilot and we are at the mercy of its autonomous interactions. there is no one to blame for catastrophes or accidents.

it's like the line from the old RAW book: "there is no governor anywhere."

Oh come now! You can't say 10 games you must play before you die and leave us hanging!
But that’s not the full analogy. The full analogy would be that the government left oil barrels around the whole state, and you went around the state starting hundreds of small fires, and if you had not done that, there would still have been a few fires from other sources, but there would be far fewer fires overall.
That's a weird argument telling me who I should and shouldn't support. Not sure what you're getting to.
I've enjoyed Alice Chess[1], which is played with two boards and on each move a piece on one board goes "through the looking glass" to wind up on the corresponding position on the other board.

Also fun was Suicide Chess[2], where the winner is the first to get all their own pieces captured.

About 20 years ago, I found a book in The Strand which had collected something like 300 chess variants... I'm sure by now there are many more.

Or, if it was a more tight union, then American corporations would have only one country to influence rather than each country separately.
isn't regular chess already a 3D game? you have two spacial dimensions (rank and file) and then wouldn't the sequence of turns constitute a temporal dimension? maybe the turns are conventionally ignored (and not counted), since all games have them?
Could try reaching out on Twitter to tech journalists. Or emailing some.

Write this story yourself as if you were a journalist covering it (just don't write in 3rd person) and put it up on the company blog (or wherever). Link to that when pitching the story.

Might sound counterintuitive but linking to an existing story makes it so much easier in my experience.

See, I feel this is the exact opposite. Telling people that it’s possible to lose weight without running a caloric deficit one way or another is the most harmful piece of advice to give to anyone who’s on a diet.

I do not deny that it is probably possible to min max your diet and exploit some of our bodies weirdness. But on a macro scale none of that shit matters. If you run a caloric deficit it literally does not matter in the slightest what your body does to the food: it can store in fat, it can burn it immediately no matter what your body is still going to have to burn all of its reserves to operate.
I wonder if "dyslexia" is at all related to the way we teach children to read? This thread[1] from a few months back comes to mind.

I have lost some weight during the quarantine. My explanation is that when working at the office I typically have lunch with a deli sandwich or something from a food truck. These portions are set based on a) what the business needs to charge per portion to stay solvent, and b) what the downtown office worker expects to get for that price ($8 to $12, say.) At home, I eat a lighter lunch, and some pounds have come off.

"He also believes that the current system entrenches inequality, because children from poorer backgrounds tend to be less likely to be diagnosed with dyslexia."

So if I'm taking away what I should from this article, the biggest problem they have with "dyslexia" is that there's inequality and there's not a good way to diagnose it? In the end they say anyone struggling with reading should get extra help, dyslexia or not. I'm sure they experts know better than I do, but dyslexia seems like SOMETHING more than just having big problems with reading. Even if it's hard to diagnose and that diagnosis is inconsistent and expensive (and therefore not fair) it still seems like a useful diagnosis, especially in school aged kids. My son is taking a second round of tests next week, so I'm in the middle of this right now. It's been interesting, people said "expect to fight with the school" and our school has been GREAT. I guess we got lucky.

It closes with this:

"Back in 1976, Bill Yule wrapped up his Isle of Wight research with the following observation: “The era of applying the label ‘dyslexic’ is rapidly drawing to a close"

Pains me to read this since I know that this is 100% the solution for my basement problem, but due to my site context, it's impossible for me to adopt this solution. My ancient house sits pretty much directly on the lot line next to the paved lane. The house is slightly below the grade of the lane and some runoff is bound to just go directly into the house. Of course I have basement water problems!

The true solution of doing what you've said is not possible unless I managed to convince the city to regrade their lane. Unlikely!
It's just an argument that the actual deficiency could cause worse outcome. But that article in Lancet doesn't claim that Italy had Vitamin D deficient population. The number of deaths per capita due to Covid-19 was however orders of magnitude higher in Italy and Sweden than in Germany. I don't think that there's anywhere any evidence that Germans are less Vitamin D deficient than Italians and Germans.

Vitamin D doesn't explain anything related to Covid-19 deaths in Europe, whereas the existence or lack of measures do, almost perfectly. Whoever can look at the curves of number of deaths since the begin of the epidemics, check the times of partial lockdowns or the introduction of some measures, can see that exactly around three weeks after these the curves stop going up and begin going down.

Italy as the first country seriously hit in Europe had the curve raising exponentially up until the measures started to work (there's a delay -- for people to stop dying the spread of infection has to turn first etc). Sweden also had the curve raising comparably to Italy, even if they had a negative example from Italy -- because there was a decision of targeting the "herd immunity". Germany's curve remained very low, as they had low prevalence at the time their measures started to be applied.

It's all about the measures and the adherence of the people to them.
I don't think there's a single educational track that addresses everything you want to know.

An architecture degree would give you the background to address most things related to construction, but that's a 2-6 year commitment and is overkill if you just want to build your own house.

I'm not aware of any formal tracks that address household maintenance. Most of this tends to be learned through a combination of reading permanent appliance manuals (e.g. if the manual for your water heater says 'do X every six months,' you do X every six months.) and googling how to fix stuff when it breaks.

There's not a lot of non-obvious maintenance needed on the structure of a house. If stuff looks broken, you just look up how to fix it, or hire someone to fix it for you. There's not really much of an equivalent to car oil changes where something non-obvious has to be done regularly or the building turns to scrap.
Well apparently not since all the work they have to do to make it scale, using Java from day 1 would have solved a lot of issues.

We'll see in a couple of years after breaking down all those app if they stick to rail to do everything.

If your servers are in AWS, then Route53 is a no-brainer - it lets you do things no other DNS host can do, and it's infinitely better plumbed into the AWS ecosystem (CloudFormation automation, etc.)
It seems likely to me that Rust will use ECS queries as the idiomatic way to write struct-of-arrays code.

In archetype-based ECS libraries (which the ecosystem seems to be converging on or near) you write a query asking for a particular subset of "component" types, where each type is stored in its own array(s), and then for each iteration of the query you get back one reference to each component type.

As a result, all the extra zipping (which I'm assuming is what people find less readable about the article's example) is handled in the query implementation, and you get this sort of hybrid between the two, syntactically speaking:

for (location, velocity, acceleration) in players.query::<(Location, Velocity, Acceleration)>() {
*location = (
location.0 + velocity.0,
location.1 + velocity.1,
);
*velocity = (
velocity.0 + acceleration.0,
velocity.1 + acceleration.1,
);
}

Some libraries even let you write a query as a struct with a #[derive] on it, rather than a tuple, so you can use essentially the same syntax as the "OOP" example from the article, rather than destructing the "fields" up front.

"By the way, the realtor probably couldn't have cared less about a fraudulent sale charge because he moved to Mexico immediately thereafter and died a year later"

"In 2010, I found a roofer who made an estimate of $100,000 to repair the roof, but he said he wasn’t sure he wanted to tackle the job. We told him that we owned a backhoe and would remove the layers of dirt and insulation ourselves. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly only two weeks after making the estimate."

At some point in the beginning they probably should have already consulted an Exorzist, or similar, or alternatively burned it all to the ground.

I find it interesting that I scrolled through this whole thread and there has been little if any discussion of excessively poor health care in the United States.

Also, things like how when people develop type 2 diabetes, the solution is often getting them on expensive insulin that causes weight gain, causing more insulin need, causing more weight gain etc. Look up Dr. Jason Fung for detailed information on how the typical approach to diabetes management actually just makes it, and weight gain, much worse.

Speaking of healthcare in the US, even for those who can afford a doctor -- I personally have gone to the doctor when I had unexplained blood sugar drops and weight gain despite being active (training for a century ride at the time), counting calories and eating the oft-touted '5 small meals a day'. They scoffed at me, told me they 'couldn't give me a pill to make me thin,' told me my habits were fine and I should keep doing what I was doing. As it turned out, and I learned through my own research, my frequent eating was causing me to become insulin resistant, and once I moved to 2 meals a day and a longer fast overnight my issues reversed. From talking to others there was nothing unusual about my experience with the doctor -- in the US obesity is considered a moral issue and not a health one, and our doctors have very little to offer in terms of advice based on the underlying mechanisms of obesity or taking patients seriously when they are concerned about weight gain.

We have all sorts of other things contributing to causing metabolic issues in the first place -- our poorly regulated food and ag industries have been pushing completely warped ideas of what makes a 'balanced' diet for decades -- e.g. milk and empty carbohydrates are 'a balanced breakfast,' the low fat fiasco where processed foods with reduced fat and increased sugars were touted as 'healthier', and for decades kids were taught in school the 'food pyramid' which was a suggested diet written entirely by agriculture lobbyists rather than the available science on nutrition.

We have an entire populace who, if they know anything about what is actually healthy for humans, came by it through having to seek it out themselves and wade through a lot of junk science sponsored by various corporate interests.

Also we are stuck in cycles of constant work, presenteeism and long hours in sedentary jobs, no sick leave, little if any vacation, etc. etc. where Europe etc. have much better work practices, not to mention less car culture, walk and bikeable and transitable cities, all things that are aggressively opposed in the US.

The problem is fueled by a number of systems. Imagining it to be a matter of simple will power or portion size is inane.
You cannot measure "actual" harm, because the system is dynamical.

You wanted a definition of externality, I gave it to you. There's a function that gives you the upper bound on the cost of an externality, which for lack of a better term, we can call the clean up function. This is the cost of returning the system to its original state.

You don't need a magic list, you need a way of demonstrating that certain actions are within the flight envelope of the environment, ie, there is some corrective force within the environment that maintains the invariant for you, and a policy of denying all actions that do not come with such a demonstration. The list can expand as scientific understanding expands, and we are allowed some leeway by the intrinsic stability of the system. If evolution could not absorb some unexpected perturbations, we wouldn't exist in the first place, but we should treat this as a finite resource, for which we do not have an amount.

Evidence that we don't do this at all is just you being in denial about the terribleness of the human strategy.

Imagine, for metaphor, that you are in some (solar powered) alien plane, and the pilot dies. You go into the cockpit, knowing that you just have to keep the plane flying. You make a mental note that all of the instruments on the panel are fixed, and the position of all of the controls. You decide that you want to fly faster so you fiddle around with the contrls until you can tell that the landscape is going underneath you faster than it was before. You note that some instrument on the panel is increasing. Do you A) ignore it, or B) return the controls to their original state?

> You may even lose data, depending on how Dropbox/Syncthing resolve file-level conflicts.

It's even worse - Dropbox can corrupt the database file even without conflicts - it's not safe to copy database file which is currently open in some process since it can change within the reading operation. I mean, the original file stays OK, but the copy will be likely corrupt (and in this corrupt state synced into another instance).

For safe copy, Dropbox would have to force some FS-level snapshotting, but that would halt all database operations. I have received few bug reports for my app which were eventually traced into attempts to sync it with Dropbox and similar services.
If you have no legal right to your creative output, you have no basis for writing a contract about it. You can't write enforceable contracts about things that don't exist.

Same, but different reasons. I just like seeing 'No Bullshit' on their site, since that's basically what I'm thinking when looking for such services.
You also can't break the site guidelines like this, so please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop.

All you need to do is look at the public 11-year history of the account you're complaining about to get an idea of how ridiculous this is. The bar for serious comments here is incredibly low—but it needs to be higher than that. I'm sure you can do much better if you want to, and if you don't want to, please find another forum that's better aligned with what you do want.

All of this holds even if foldr is completely wrong. I'm not making any claim about their views—I don't even know what their views are, nor care. The moderation issue here is that on this site, people can't issue the garden-variety internet insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, spying, etc., that the internet loves to generate ad nauseum. As the guidelines say, if you have evidence you should send it to hn@ycombinator.com so we can investigate. In this case you could simply have done the "investigation" yourself.

There's reams of previous explanation at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme..., for anyone who wants to understand why we have this rule. The short version: because insinuations of astroturfing are poison to community, and because they nearly always collapse under inspection, usually trivially, as in this case.
The NYT makes the headline about an adverse reaction and the study is paused because of it. To my mind 'adverse reaction' means that they've established the cause and effect, and the study was halted because someone reacted badly to the vaccine.

My issue is that it's not clear whether the patient's illness is due to the vaccine or something else, so headlining with 'adverse reaction to the vaccine' is jumping to a conclusion. They don't say 'possible', which is the truth.
Early this year, I attended the funeral of a somebody from the office. She was overweight, and for many years avoided seeing a doctor because she was embarrassed to be so heavy. The bad news was delivered by a heart attack at age 60 or so.
tl;dr

People are overinvested in the opinions they held in March, and will find evidence to support what they believed then.

On one side, we have the cohort of people who see this as literally the worst thing ever and we will all die. And you hate children and humanity if you want to eat at a restaurant.

On the other side, you have the crowd who sees this as a moderate case of the sniffles and society is overreacting due to the fact that the news media hyped this so aggressively

There is a very, very small minority of people who see it as squarely in the middle, a scary disease that we should protect people from, but with a more nuanced approach than lockdowns.
Lots of people argue that children aren't dying because they were more locked down. For example the person I responded to. That is wrong, children aren't dying since covid doesn't hit them very hard. Children being vectors infecting others wasn't a part of this discussion.
