"A desire to provide moral instruction"

"Don't do drugs."
"Sex is great, but you need to wait until you're ready to handle it because it has serious emotional and physical consequences as well. If you do though, use a condom."
"Don't treat people that way."

Its disingenuous that state run schools don't have their own moral instruction as well. Although I can't find it but I remember a post where a student got in an argument because the teacher failed them for saying ethics and morality were two different things and the teacher argued it was the same. So I don't exactly trust them to do it either. Ultimately it is up to the parents to teach kids their values, not the state's.

The parents have the most influence on a child's values anyway, short of removing them from the home, not much changes there.
Yes, I actually would like to see one imagined. I’m curious about whether there is a tldr about why we can no longer imagine a society outside of capitalism?

The interesting part of this letter isn't any novel or lucid argument but what it's arguing against, which in the context of the mentioned earlier Ontario Hospital Assocation statement almost comes across as a straw man. The letter spends most of its time arguing against near-total lockdowns such as Ontario experienced from March through June even though almost nobody is currently proposing this - even the OHA statement only advocates a temporary closure of indoor venues such as restaurants and banquet halls in affected areas (albeit including large cities such as Toronto and Ottawa) - with a parenthetical warning about the harms of "rotating" school closures to childrens' health, even though this wasn't really proposed. In fact, the earlier statement explicitly proposed closing food service venues in order to prevent school closures and elective surgery cancellations. Likewise, they mention overdose deaths and social and economic determinants of health as if the broader health sector were oblivious to these or hadn't proposed any solutions. (The current government is quite conservative and broadly opposes overdose prevention, basic income experiments, social housing, etc., so these are unlikely to be realized, so perhaps this is a resigned ultra-realist approach, but in that case, why write it in the first place?)

A cynical part of me wonders whether this letter being circulated by CTV (as opposed to the motivations of those signing it, about which I have no idea) isn't just to give political cover on talk radio and TV news for the government's current wait-and-see approach, which health workers (and progressives generally) are against.

[Slightly unrelated, but potentially relevant given the "doctors say" headline: the government was recently playing radio advertisements explaining how much it "consulted" with the health sector on safely reopening schools but not mentioning the fact that it ignored the main recommendation of reducing class sizes.]
France is responsible for one of the two most famous high-sugar rich bread doughs in the world --- brioche.
When I first got to the US I found it hard to find non-sugar-y bread. The main issue for me was that even the "hippie bread" often has a bunch of "hidden" sugar (it's there, but listed as malt, or honey, or something secretly sugary) - and I'd always miss it on the label!

After the Xth time I got tricked into buying sugar-bread I started making my own... have been baking once a week for 5 years now. It's the most satisfying accidental hobby I've ever had.

The weird thing is, I also started dialing down the salt a bit - and now I really notice how much salt is in bread too. Which sucks as I can easy give up sugar, but salt... oh no!
It's honestly refreshing to see such a clear case of Silicon Valley hubris out in the wild again. These had started to die down recently. Neither founder has any experience in real estate or construction. Their entire premise seems rest on pretending that manufactured housing doesn't already exist.

I go to their "Our Solution" page and find this at the top:

>Blokable creates prosperity and equity in communities by disintermediating the traditional development process and providing a vertically integrated solution to create housing at scale. Our solution is a new paradigm in development, enabled by a new building system and technology.

Like Les Luthiers and any comedian making full use of their original language, many jokes lose their punch —or even don't make any sense— when translated.

On the other hands, many of the Mafalda strips work well with literal translations too. I am reminded of her getting a turtle. Mafalda decided to call her Bureaucracy. Or her in the beach seeing a crab walking backwards and after a panel of contemplation letting the crab know "The future is forwards!" and when the crab continues on its merry way, backwards, her yelling at it "Reactionary!". Or her taking a globe and treating it like it has a cold after listening to the news in the radio.

The strips seem to also be commonly used when teaching Spanish, as the simple art work lends itself to be easily described.
The other surprising factor is that a lot of heavy industry will have data going back decades. If they can't get all of that data in to timestream, that's a massive mark against it.

I'd heard that it was initially developed for a major industrial operator (sounded like it was in the resources industry though I never found out who it was for), so the lack of support for late arriving data is a big surprise. That being said, there aren't any of those companies on the customers page - maybe it was just an incorrect rumour.

I don't see why you would bisect in this situation in the first place. The problem's fixed now, as of commit 5.

But okay, let's take your example as-is: you determine the "good" point is commit 1, and the ...um, other good point is commit 5?

Well, that doesn't work. I guess we have to arbitrarily ignore commit 5 and say commit 4 is bad. A bisect will show that. Then in Fossil, if you visit the /info page for commit 4, it will show its child commit 5 as fixing the problem.

Try again. Squashing doesn't solve anything here.
Right, it barely matters, if anything the sheltering shocks the person so much when they are finally exposed, they question everything and usually end up distrusting or taking issues with the parent.

Subway is in the business of opening more Subway stores. They have low franchise fees to lure in owners, which is why there are more Subways than McDonalds in the world. They then use corporate inspections to hijack profitable restaurants, forcing out the franchisees.

It's a borderline pyramid scheme. The product is an afterthought, like all pyramid schemes.

While you're correct to point that out, I'm not aware of any health experts who expect that the current crop of vaccine candidates are sufficient to stop the disease from spreading. The hope is that it will spread slower and/or be less severe.
Agreed. I really think Industrial Literacy is crucial and should be part of all curricula, but this gung ho whig history of the blog post is absolutely sickening.

It also conflates methods which are basically necessary with current/prior tech and population levels (the agriculture ones), with ones that aren't (cars, plastic). We absolutely could have a cities + farmland + nature economy with trains and glasswear without sacrificing the population capacity.

One must not, because if one did, one would be wrong. :)

First, don't assume that because I didn't quote your posting in full that I didn't read it in full. HN is a threaded messaging system: we don't need to fully quote everything just to maintain the flow of the conversation. The history is right there to see on the page.

Second, how does "If a group of people are collaborating and they agree that rebases are going to happen, nothing is wrong with letting them do that," argue against the article in question? That's just a blind assertion, not logical argumentation.

> not a problem with git-rebase,

Sure it is: if rebase commits a breaking change to the blockchain immediately because you weren't able to test it, you have two options: 1. Commit a fix, pushing the broken commit later, potentially breaking bisect and such. 2. Do more rebase squashing and such to fix it in place before pushing it.

Argument 2 is "We need rebase because we used rebase." :)

Fossil's alternative is to not commit anything to the blockchain automatically. If Fossil did have rebase, it would make the changes in the checkout tree only, and you'd have to commit it separately.

The argument is not "Fossil can't have rebase because Git's version is badly considered," it's "Fossil's developers don't want rebase and Git's version is badly considered anyway." Fossil could avoid the design error, but that doesn't make rebase a good idea.

> If the repo is on Github and the PR is being merged through its web interface

...then you're using proprietary software with tremendous lock-in, but okay, if you're willing...

> the merge can remember to use it.

You're really going to insist on that? Commands by the foot, instead of a sensible default?

> it's not related to rebase then, in git or otherwise.

It's an example. The argument we've received multiple times from Git fans is that developers need rebase to make the timeline "clean", but Fossil shows that you don't have to modify history to do that. You just need sufficiently powerful tools that let you preserve history while changing its presentation to the user to suit various needs.

Git's porcelain is showing here.

> derp... - foo.bar() ... + foo.bar();

So you've committed without compiling first, much less running the tests, and your solution is "I need rebase?" No, my friend, you need to compile and run the tests before committing!

Maybe you want a better example?
Sugar isn't just a glucose disacharide, its got fructose, which is functionally not a carb. It can only be metabolized in the liver, and in large enough quantities your liver is forced to metabolize fructose into fat, which taken far enough leads non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Glucose won't do that to you.

How to get a free .ml domain
Last I heard (I work there, but not in hardware) it takes a couple of technicians a few weeks to install the machine onsite, but after that, they're extremely low maintenance. The skill required to use them "locally" is quite the same as using them on the cloud, and we regularly have undergrad co-ops get up to speed using them. No PhDs required.

That said, we're much more focused on cloud sales; under that model, big customers get dedicated resources and everybody gets access to machines just about as fast as we make them.

This is entitled "Industrial Literacy" but the first paragraph is filled with inaccurate statements with no references"=.

"That if synthetic fertilizer was suddenly lost, a mass famine would ensue and billions would starve"

No source and arguably incorrect.

First of all we have natural fertilizer, it doesn't just magically disappear from the earth in the already far-fetched scenario of synthetic fertilizers magically disappearing:

https://www.epa.gov/agriculture/agriculture-nutrient-managem...

Second, in the U.S. synthetic fertilizer use is heavily concentrated in corn and soybeans which together make up the vast majority of the use:
https://cfpub.epa.gov/roe/indicator.cfm?i=55

Third, many farmers across the world still don't use synthetic fertilizer. Less than half of the world population is fed by synthetic fertilizers:
https://ourworldindata.org/fertilizers#how-many-people-does-...

Fourth, the world produces far more food than is required to sustain sustenance for everyone on Earth:
https://ourworldindata.org/food-supply

What will actually happen in the magic event of synthetic fertilizer disappearing is unknowable, but what is much more likely than "billions would starve" is _food prices will increase drastically. In the poorest economies, the poorest farmers are already growing without synthetic fertilizer, so their lives may vary well improve because food prices will go up. However, non-farmer impoverished people would see undernourishment because they would not be able to afford the increased prices.

I implore the author if promoting literacy, to actually read some books on this matter and cite sources. I suggest "The Global Food Economy: The Battle for the Future of Farming."
That's... an assumption that went into the logic in the comment replying to and the logic in it's grandparent.

I'm still searching for Sperry terminal fonts. Not from the rebadged Leading Edge machines, but from real Sperry terms.
I was just looking into recipes of Brioche [0] (French bread, very soft "fluffy" internal structure) and the recipes I've seen use no sugar at all, though could be added. From Wikipedia:

> Brioche dough contains flour, eggs, butter, liquid (milk, water, cream, and sometimes brandy), leavening (yeast or sourdough), salt, and sometimes sugar.

So I guess sugar shouldn't be required to make bread with a very soft internal structure (as mentioned in case of the Japanese Milk Bread).

Right, I was just trying to provide some context to the number. My regular sponge mix is equal weights of flour, sugar, butter and egg. So the proportion of sugar would be described as 100%, but it's actually 25% of the wet weight.

Yes, 10% is high for bread, which is precisely why this court ruling. But it's a misleading number if you're not used to reading this as a ratio rather than a volume.

(Although they didn't say it's not bread, they said it's not bread as defined in tax law. There's a very specific tax exemption for bread, and 10% doesn't meet it. You can see this exemption in Part F of http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2010/act/31/schedule/2/en... )
Why isn’t it based on performance.
"so many people" ... no, just enough over the numbers for what's actually available to drive prices up. Alternatively, just enough with just enough money (in hand, or leverageable) to drive prices up.

The whole world is not rushing to places in the US with insanely high property prices. Just enough people to keep those prices up (and maybe even still rising).
Yep, literally anything where consensus among actual experts is largely settled in one direction, but it's been highly politicized by rabid right wingers pushing in the other direction because of their seemingly innate need to be aggressively wrong about fucking everytyhing will have small groups of "concerned experts" with petitions like this - see climate change, wearing seatbelts, net neutrality etc.
For a bread that's gonna last more than a few days, yeah milk + more sugar seems to help with the flavor a _lot_. For freshly baked bread like that you're gonna eat within a few hours of baking, it's still pretty tasty even without it.
I thought the same, but it's been a looong time.

I remember the standard setup for a 3279 color terminal was to go through and align the red, blue and green guns at a number of points on the screen. When you had aligned them all, the target dot was white. It was very common to see badly aligned displays (some were hard to align in any case) where the letters had a pinkish shadow effect form misalignment of the guns. Good times.
Learning online will put them ahead of their peers. The world is moving remote. Children will be better served by learning how to interact and learn online. It will be a skill they use in the future.

> I think an argument can be made the government ordered lockdowns (stay at home / shelter in place) orders were appropriate in March when we knew much less about who was most vulnerable, and did not have a well vetted treatment protocol / decision tree or any known therapeutics.

Sure. Lockdowns bought us time.

> Forced mandatory lockdowns today would be unethical and actually counter-productive. Given our vastly increased knowledge of the highly stratified risk profile of SARS-CoV-2, the public health case cannot be ethically made to forcibly confine the general population to their homes; separating them from their livelihoods, their community, their ordinary healthcare, and their mental and physical wellness routines.

I mean, partly. We know that sticking to outdoors, wearing masks, etc. helps a lot. So we should try to avoid situations such as offices with central AC, indoor restaurants, indoor gyms, etc.

That is not confining people to their homes, just using what we've learned so far to reduce infection rates in the least painful way.
Could it not be that investors came to appreciate the company's prospects for increased revenue and margins in a new light? e.g. "this business seems to be more of a 'sweat of the brow' thing than previously thought."

Pseudo-science, seriously? Tell me then, what about bread qualifies it as a health food? It's mostly glucose polysaccharides that are rapidly digested by your body into plain old glucose. Yes, there is also some amount of protein and fibre, but not in remarkable quantities. Not to mention the non-trivial amounts of phytic acid in wheat germ which can impair bodily absorption of iron, zinc and calcium.[0]
