It is not just Sugar, it's also the fact that most Americans live on a diet full of industrially refined sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil, strange chemical preservatives, flavouring agents, artificial sweeteners to avoid the sugar, and "no fat' products that achieve this in strange way. For instance,

It's further complicated by the fact that there is no functional epistemology of nutrition in the US; previous attempts to create one such as the "Food Pyramid" were heavily financed by food lobbying groups and are now distrusted. This leads to things like people deciding that carbohydrates are universally bad because removing deep fried potatos from their diet makes them feel better; or people swearing by vegetarianism because for the first time since childhood they stopped eating "Meat.jpg" like you find in hotdogs etc. Or people swearing by low fat diets because they stopped eating icecream deep fried in margarine.

There is also no underlying national food tradition; I live in South East Asia and in this country there is a strong tradition of eating steamed rice and steamed chicken as a staple food, as well as steamed eggs and seafood (shellfish, pan fried fish,etc) This means that with no nutritional knowledge the diet here is considerably better than the average person in the US.

It's funny, as a consumer i view it as a way to obscure the product and not make it clear what is actually being offered.

I don't care about downloading 20TBs, i'm not an abuser. I do however care about knowing the limits of my "unlimited" plan, which are very real and easily reachable.

It's funny how the limits of Unlimited can be reached in just a few days of youtube videos.

These limits don't feel like limitations on scammers and abusers. They are not designed to stop people from downloading 20TBs of data hoarding. They're limits that normal people reach easily.

Imagine a road having "no speed limit", but cops enforce a 200mph speed limit. That seems reasonable to me. They'll pull over people actively trying to break the sound barrier rather than merely trying to get to work going 80mph.

Now imagine that same road, with "no speed limit" - but cops pull you over at 80mph[1]? These aren't people actively trying to kill someone. They're normal, non-abuser people.

Tmobile's data limit isn't even remotely about data hoarders. My 5 year old thumb drive is 10x bigger than my Unlimited data limit.

For the record, I prefer SSH-via-kioslave over SSH-via-fuse. On my previous work Macbook, I'd bind it as "normal filesystem" and that worked great until I suspended my laptop or disconnected the VPN, at which point filesystem semantics are a giant drag on the experience. If implemented as badly as on macOS, it makes your file dialog and command line access hang.

At least kioslaves handle disconnects gracefully and are right back in service whenever your network is, without having to remount anything.
Depends on the company. Some make a concerted effort to organize people in the same building on the same product.

Others don’t, and I agree that if some are remote, full remote seems better.
I am of the opinion that most every educated person with an interest in nutrition should ignore the questionable scientific research and focus on what empirically produces good results. Look at masters athletes who are still healthy and competing at a high level into their 60s. What do they eat? You can't go too far wrong by copying their diets.
If I were weighing these options I’d just move to the expensive place, make the money, and then spend it later in the cheaper place. Moving for a job doesn’t mean moving for good, and your money works anywhere.
I did not read the PG link, but I did read a book once by a leading sociologist of science. One kind of example he cited involved the unusual number of Nobel prize winners (in different fields) who had been college roommates. As I remember it, his argument highlighted or presumed a shared strategy: smart people seeking out exposure and conversational opportunities at the leading edge of new fields.

SF is more dense than LA, and the Bay Area as a whole is comparable to the LA area in terms of population. Fun fact, the most populous city in the Bay Area (and NoCal) is actually San Jose, not SF.
What I don't get is, why hasn't anyone stated the obvious.

Why do cars have location data stored onboard? Personal information? GPS data?

I have a phone, which already has stupid levels of personal info in it. Who on Earth needs another phone in their car, tracking everything, watching where I drive, who I call, on and on and on.

I don't get it. No one needs any of this crap in a car.

Take a phone for example, terrible security updates (eg, many phones barely have them last the terms of a 2 or 3 year contract). Then? Nada!

So how does that relate to my car? Lots of people keep cars for a decade.

Where are my free security updates, to all aspects of these network connected, wifi enabled, cars?

You think GM is going to give you a security update on a 10 year old platform?

It's a car, yet it's treated like the most horrid of things by GM/others, an IOT connected device.
I'm skeptical of health claims, but I have definitely personally found doing 3 rounds of Wim Hof + a cold shower in the morning leaves me feeling pretty great.

I would say it requires a level of discipline and interest in "doing work" that most people don't have, so even if it is as revolutionary as claimed, I wouldn't be at all surprised that not everybody is following the method.

Cuba prepares for 'profound transformation' of its monetary system, urges calm
When a friend first told me about taking cold showers everyday, I thought he was incredibly motivated and a little crazy. Then when I finally decided to look into it and did the breathing technique, I realized I might be able to take a cold shower. Now I've been taking 1-2min cold showers (after my regular hot shower), every day for the last 4 months. It gives me a huge boost of energy, way better than coffee.

Also, I recently read a translation and comment of the first speech by Buddha after enlightment. At it's most basic, the Wim Hof and Buddha's teaching seem very similar: make a continuous effort to face the uncomfortable. The main difference is in the way they go about it and the end goals. Wim Hof is just providing a very straightforward method to systematically face discomfort (in the form of cold), whereas Buddha gives a slightly more complicated method, but with the goal of reaching full detachment (Nirvana). You can also do both together.

I think you completely missed the point.

OP's post isn't about that fact that two different topics are being discussed. OPs point is that for neither of this two topics that are critical to economic theory, people don't even seem to know or agreed on the definition of either. How in the world can people discuss (let alone judge or shape) policy if we can't even agree on what basic concepts even mean.

You might want to refine the overall approach, in the spirit of Usenet and early Internet.

Suggestions:

* Forget about "SEO".

* Forget about running "analytics" surveillance for megacorps.

* Forget about "monetizing" "content".

Also, consider that the Usenet was more a private club, in a more innocent world, and posts were largely ephemeral. We should violate expectations with hesitation and care.

> Cracking down on the backyard mechanics who keep the shitboxes of the greater Boston area running

Don't really have much to add to your point. But I wanted to mention, that on my block (a mixed income neighborhood in Boston) has 1 guy who fixes almost all our cars. He doesn't own a shop, he just brings his tools and fixes your box on the street. Every time he's out there he acquires a new customer. We all love him. His work is great, and his prices are so low my wife has to argue with him to take more. Without him, there's a lot of people where I live who would be in a tough spot.

I think this as many other things are highly subjective.

One might say that something that could be considered a fairly good indicator of a "good" food-scene would be this: https://www.statista.com/chart/16308/michelin-restaurant-us/
Where SF is no 2 in the country for number of Michelin star restaurants.
Again as the first sentence states; one might argue this is not the indicator of a "good" food-scene but I guess we'll have to take what we can in terms of objectivity to try to judge a city on different things, and for food this is at least for high earners, probably a somewhat good indicator.

I thought the video you shared had a great 10-15 minute segment starting around ~50:00.

> Sure define AI research whatever way you want. That's not particularly helpful though to change the outcome he fears.

JL’s point is that it makes a huge sociological difference, because it (the contemporary mythology/theology of “AI”) massively changes how much we’re willing to question the status quo, rather than accepting it as “AI”.

> In a world where we have infinite resources and everything, what do you do [...] I think of those around me, my time with my loved ones and friends. Humanity and meaning becomes for me the ability to enjoy and witness the lives of those around me, the relationships I cultivate and shared experience I have.

There’s a subtle but crucial difference between infinite resources (not biasing us towards certain modes of being) versus a landscape promoting infinite (ever-increasing) consumption. Eg: imagine Google having every video on earth, but you have to search/ask, rather than having auto-recommendations.

> This is not unique to AI. The digital divide existed before AI.

Yes, but the aura of “AI” gives it a new legitimacy and authority in our ambient narrative.

The SF Bay Area as a whole has some great holes in the wall, and there's even still some in San Francisco proper if you dig around, but in addition to being a bar in the Fairmont as others have noted, the Tonga Room is a world-famous tiki bar that opened in 1945, with two themed dining rooms that wrap around an artificial lagoon with a "rainstorm" every thirty minutes. That's a really weird definition of hole-in-the-wall. :)

While I haven't been up to SF proper for food and barhopping in a few years now, the Lark up in the financial district is much more of what I'd call a good cheap bar. I tend to bristle a bit at people dissing the SF food and drink scene, but I have to remind myself that with few exceptions my favorite places in the Bay Area aren't actually in SF itself. The metro area as a whole has virtually everything you can imagine at a very wide range of price points. I suspect one could make a case that the most interesting stuff happening is in the East Bay and South Bay, though.
That's an interesting read. For what it's worth, I think that IEX's "speed bump" is somewhere between a publicity stunt and a way to circumvent the regulatory rules about NBBO. (I imagine that IEX is not allowed to implement the speed bump in software because they are not allowed to pretend they don't know about an NBBO update. But if they use intentionally slow hardware, then they genuinely don't know about the updates.)

The paper is a bit confusing:

> Suppose at a given point in time, the market has been stable for awhile (meaning the best bid and offer prices have not changed for several milliseconds), and trading venue V has an accurate, up-to-date view of the NBBO in that symbol as $10.00 by $10.02. So the resting buy order is pegged to the midpoint price of $10.01. Now, a seller comes along and trades with all of the buy interest at $10.00, changing the best available bid to $9.99. The midpoint of the NBBO is now $10.005, but this information does not arrive at trading venue V instantaneously. There is a small window of time in which venue V still believes the midpoint is$ 10.01, so if a matching sell order arrives at venue V during this window, it can trade with the resting buy order at$10.01. This is bad news for the initiator of the resting order, because the NBBO has already changed in their favor, and this execution at $10.01 goes against the spirit of what a midpoint pegged order is intended to accomplish.

Now I'm not a securities person and I don't really know the spirit of what the midpoint order is intended to accomplish. But if I were a serious trader and I had a buy order resting at $10.01, I would be rather annoyed at the beginning of this process -- a seller came and sold at $10.00, but my resting buy at $10.01 didn't match the seller. Similarly, the seller should be annoyed that they only got $10.00 and not $10.01.

(I assume this only obeys the NBBO rules themselves because IEX midpoint pegs are non-displayed, but I am not an expert here.)

There appears to be disagreement about what exactly a midpoint order is. Interactive Brokers says:

> A pegged-to-midpoint order provides a means for traders to seek a price at the midpoint of the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). The price automatically adjusts to peg the midpoint as the markets move, to remain aggressive. For a buy order, your bid is pegged to the NBBO midpoint and the order price adjusts automatically to continue to peg the midpoint if the market moves. The price only adjusts to be more aggressive. If the market moves in the opposite direction, the order will execute.

Which is rather different.

Personally, I find fancy order types to make the market unnecessarily complicated, and I also think that Reg NMS and the whole NBBO mechanism is well meaning but actually mostly makes the market worse.

Interesting observations.

As native Chinese speaker:

The Look:

1. Japanese: I like the kanji, it is very recognizable, even the character set is different. Most Chinese will have no problem reading traditional Chinese characters, though somewhat slower. The rest...not so much, kanas are my biggest headache.

2. Korean: First thing I noticed is the presence of circle, which is not part of Chinese radicals until very recently. Because it looks like bubbles, so it looks somewhat ... cute? No meaning can be inferred beyond that. Also the use of spaces are noticeable.

The Sound:

1. Japanese: Fast. Less variation in the speech itself. Notice the presence of pitch. The kanji based words sound very different from what it would sound like in Chinese

2. Korean: Not as fast as Japanese, but still faster than Chinese. A lot of unfamiliar sounds that are absent in Chinese pronunciation. Sometimes I would be able to find one word or two that sounds like Chinese and makes sense in the context, but the rest is just foreign.

Question to Korean speakers:

Do you guys recognize each individual Hangul character's meaning (under the context of the word of course) if that word has a Chinese origin? Or the word is recognized as whole. For example 부동산(real estate), comes from the Japanese kanji word, 不動産, which in Chinese means 不(not)動(moving)産(assets). Does this inferential aspect of Chinese still apply in certain cases once it is written in Hangul?
