“In the Senator’s plan, everyone would be allowed to set up a digital dollar wallet that would be called a ‘FedAccount,’ which would be a free bank account that can be used to receive money, make payments, and take out cash. FedAccounts would be available at local banks and Post Offices, and would have no account fees or minimum balance requirements. Account holders would receive debit cards, online account access, automatic bill-pay, mobile banking, and ATM access at Post Offices.”
people have been attacked, harassed, slandered and 'cancelled' by liberal strangers for 4 years simply for holding different political views. The polls were just another piece of propaganda, which thankfully flopped.
Terrible study if that is the conclusion. Yes, multivitamins don't help with cancer or heart attacks. Yes, it is better to eat a healthy diet.

But vitamins do physically help when you are deficient. Your energy levels and immune system improves.

And "all in your head" is nothing to scoff at when the Placebo effect has been measured to help shorten disease by 7%.
Do you really? It’s nice if it’s faster (and a hard sell if it’s slower) but really most people aren’t going to do the same things on a Mac they are going to do on a Windows laptop. You can’t run Windows or Windows software on these Macs. And it’s really no use to compare for instance Office for Windows to Office for Mac.
> Some things still won't run though. Among other issues, there's a page size difference (16 kb vs 4 kb) that bit Chrome (since fixed): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110219...

Rosetta 2 on shipping hardware uses 4kb pages; it was only the DTK that was 16kb-only.
I had a doctor who was obsessed with balancing Omega-3 and Omega-6. He kept claiming that excess Omega-3 did nothing without 6's. I kinda scratched my head at that, because it was so new, but I never followed up after I moved to a different state and found a new doctor who was equally unfamiliar with that claim.
I have Firefox, Slack, MS Team, MS Word, MS Excel, and Onenote opened. The world's most boring office worker use case.

I know it's a deceptive metric but Task Manager shows 12.5GB "In Use". 16.2 Committed.

Each Firefox tab has between 250mb and 1g "Memory (Active Working Area)".

HUUUUUGeeeee long tail of 100MB trailing down to 20MB services and things. Adobe has half a dozen at all times, etc etc etc.

I'm game to use any other "more realistic" specification or monitor as I know that with memory paging and virtualization things are wonky.

I don't think this indicates I MUST have 12 or 16 or 32GB - I have a 4GB media PC that works just fine. But I do believe it's an indicator average user can use 16GB, if it's available. Or in other words, if I buy a $1000USD laptop, I don't think 16GB is going to waste away unused with zero benefit ever :-\

Again, perfectly willing to be educated :).
One of the commonalities between the longest lived people on earth: they eat food that is macronutrient poor, but micronutrient rich (think lots of vegetables, but not too many calories). This is the opposite of people who live the shortest: macronutrient rich, but micronutrient poor (think modern processed foods high in calories).

A typical fruit or vegetable can have hundreds of phytonutrients and other chemical compounds that are just very hard to recreate in processed foods. This is in addition to the 30 or so micronutrients that we already know of that are essential for certain biological processes. In the black hole that is nutritional research, population and epidemiological studies simply show people who do include a lot of vegetables in their diet tend to have better health outcomes. It's likely you might draw a different conclusion from that research than people involved in the field, but it's probably one of the safest bets we can make when it comes to staying healthy.
It will be equally as hot, but quieter.
Yes, Anandtech benchmarked the A14 chip from the iPhone. The M1 is as far as we can tell an A14X-like chip with much higher thermal headroom within a Macbook/MacMini for higher frequencies and has more L2 cache (12mb v 8mb), in addition to more CPU/GPU cores. So if Apple can get frequencies up 10-20% they'll be equal in single thread to Zen3.

A14 has some important and kind of crazy architectural differences like being 8-wide and having double Zen's per-cycle throughput. It's a very different chip from anything else on the market.
The article states that server isn't affected, because it requires access to a graphical desktop session.

Edit with direct quote from the article:

> Disclaimer: For someone to exploit this vulnerability, they need access to the graphical desktop session of the system, so this issue affects desktop users only.

Am I wrong?
Check if the installed version is equal to or higher than one of the listed fixed versions. Likely it isn't even installed on a server edition.

And that's the misconception.

Things like Vitamin C are no problem. Your body takes what it needs, stores a bunch, and easily excretes the excess.

Things like Vitamin D, however, aren't so benign. Excessive Vitamin D has knock on effects with Calcium. Also, Vitamin D tends to accumulate in fat, so if you store up too much, it can take weeks to bring down.

Just because something is a "Vitamin" doesn't make it harmless.

And, this is before we even start considering things like supplements which have who knows what in them.
There are plenty of fingerprint readers on the market, doesn't really excite me because it just makes it 2-in-1.

Is "the guy paying" still a thing?

I mean, I sometimes pay for friends or my partners, but I never spend a dime on a women I was dating/courting and I never had the impression they wanted me to do so.

In my experience, women would evaluate me mostly on my character and looks and not so much on my money.
Correlation does not equal cause.

People who take multivitamins probably have different feelings about health than people who don't.

That doesn't mean the multivitamin caused that.
A true biometric key would allow authentication from any key and not just a registered key, otherwise it just degrades into a possession authentication factor. A true biometric key would allow you to walk around with absolutely nothing, and doing 2FA using only what you know (password) and what you are (your finger).

Is that possible with this? Could I e.g. pass 2FA on my accounts on a friend's computer using their key with my finger?
tldr; Don't get addicted to drugs folks, or you will end up like Ryan M. Moser. He didn't end up for prison from drugs per say, but from stealing to get more drugs.

This is why the initiative to decriminalize all drugs in Oregon is important, because it is setting up treatment centers to treat the addiction. It won't save people from stealing but could give many the treatment they need to not be in such a position to begin with.
used to be. But no more.
During a difficult time in my life when I was squatting in London in the mid 1980s I painted my room pink, grey and black and it was very effective for shifting my mood. Now that I live in more settled, contented circumstances 35 years later I don't find I need these bright colours to enjoy being in a space. (I appreciate that black and grey are not bright: the point was they threw the pink into sharp focus)
I don't see the point. There is nothing to put it into. It's far cheaper to just ship modern CPUs with integrated graphics which will be faster and more efficient than that 10 year old GPU. The era where computer components were big enough for it to make sense for them to be discrete parts is coming to a close.

This is particularly true on the lower end where a 10 year old part is even interesting.

I'm going to throw one out for dang here. I took your moderating personally when I first joined here, got banned for some comments I didn't think were that bad, hell i've made worse since, spent a while posting greyed out comments going off at dang, posted some not so shitty comments that got given a chance, realized I should try harder in my comments and just push my way back in by writing things that contribute better to HN.

It would have been easy to start a new account, but I liked warring with dang at the time. I even emailed him a bunch appealing my, what I still believe is not really all that bad of a comment, but I accept why it got me in shit as a newer commenter. It spurred me to just try harder at contributing better.

Eventually, I was just randomly unbanned.
Since then, i've come appreciate HN's moderation style.

There's really not many places on the internet with such lax account rules, yet mostly good conversation.

I appreciate the surprisingly wide range of topics and viewpoints generally allowed here. It does get a bit echo chambery, but mostly, any issue tends to get both sides heard as long as comments are written constructively.

Also, just learning about the purpose of this site helped. This is a news website, first and foremost, for people interested in funding from YC. It may have expanded since then, but the moderation does reflect the intended purpose of this site and just generally the kind of discourse expected from people interested in YC funding or other such things.

This is truly beautiful and thank you for it.
> It turns out that Ubuntu uses a modified version of accountsservice that includes some extra code that doesn’t exist in the upstream version maintained by freedesktop.

I guess next time people ask why I like a distro like Arch that doesn't insert its own junk into upstream code over Debian/Ubuntu/et al, I'll have a new example handy to cite.
It's pretty baseless article and it only raises a new question for me, why don't they work?

This argument and the other regarding protein powders not being "real food" stands beyond reason to me. If you're eating vitamins or protein in food or in a pill, what would the difference be? Are smoothies, soups or other processed foods not food?

I take a multivitamin and magnesium supplement, although I take them at the same time as my breakfast (as stated on the label). Logically this makes sense to me, as the contents will be absorbed and digested along with other food stuffs rather than just flushed through the body.

The only way I could imagine multi-vitamins useless and ineffective is if the the vitamins themselves are structurally different and indigestible?

> Moreover, I hardly doubt that even 80% of top notch devs from SV can achieve 1k MRR working on a product from 0.

Sure. And I’d hardly call myself top notch, so no doubt I’d be unable to achieve that.

Thing is I have no interest in doing that, partly because as it turns out I need quite a bit more than a thousand dollars in a month, and partly because I don’t like doing hard shit. Guess I’m just crazy like that. So it’s fortunate for me that I can make quite a bit more than that, with less risk and less effort, and a whole lot fewer sleepless nights.
> However, a comprehensive medical history—assessing dozens of physical and mental illnesses—revealed zero actual health differences between people who did or did not take multivitamins.

This is probably the point where the asinine line of reasoning in this article derails and hits bottom.

Vitamins and minerals are not for "health", but for body function.

Deficiency in a vitamin or mineral is not necessarily going to show up as a documented physical or mental illness in your someone's medical history.

If vitamin supplements don't do anything (the benefit is all in the mind), then it must mean that if we take a group of people who are under conditions that will cause them to develop scurvy, and we give half of them a vitamin C supplement, keeping the other half as a control group, then that supplemented group will develop scurvy, indistinguishably from the control group.

Supplementing with vitamins or minerals in which one is not deficient is a waste of money, and could cause a harmful excess, depending on the specific substance. But "everyone" knows that. And, yes, people use supplements without obtaining evidence that they are deficient.
White man tells women what to do, part ~
Really fun! I think I understand Polish more now. I like that the author chose a version of Church Slavonic letters like Ѧ Ѫ Ѩ Ѭ instead of making up new ones. This attempt also seems to try to build etymological bridges to other Slavic languages (mostly Russian, though) like for example spelling rzeki as реки, rather the more phonological жеки.

I would prefer the Ukrainian or Belarussian versions of Cyrillic were used as a model, as they are closer to Polish (with the exception of the palatalisation of е, the norm in both Polish and Russian and almost rare in Ukrainian).
Thanks for adding some more civil discourse to this discussion :) .

You are correct in your assertion that I am in a relationship (we share the same apt) in regards to "dating" a sex worker. I added this context to indicate that I have more first hand knowledge of what it means to be a sex worker than someone who well... doesn't date an online sex worker.

My girlfriend has mentioned that some women do not handle the money well or make emotional compromises with work hours etc that can at times lead to very sad outcomes. It would be a sad day if it was socially "okay" to ask any random woman if they "have an onlyfans" so you can see them naked for $8. That is a sad state of affairs, granted we're already half way there since asking if a woman has an Instagram in many cases could be perceived as asking "do you have an instagram filled with soft-core pornography of yourself?".

I'm open to objection by any of the members of HN who likely (ironically) identify as male feminists. For the record, my gf finds your cause hilarious and pandering at best ;)
Interested in what you mean by 'lot more advanced'?

The optional nature of the typing can be very useful for the web for sure. From my experience that same flexibility means you can't do as much reflection at runtime as in .NET but I have been for the most part away from typescript for last couple of years, so be interested in any resources around this subject.
Yeah I got 4-5 spam calls every day and just as many spam texts on my personal cell phone and so I don't answer any unknown calls on it. It is all just scam robocalls. If a pollster called me, I doubt I would answer. And even if I did, would I trust they were a real poll? Probably not.
I'm sorry that your life has turned out the way it has.

I'm probably not smarter than you. I probably didn't work harder than you. I probably didn't make better decisions than you.

I fully admit to and embrace the fact that most of my blessed life has come as a matter of fortune and good luck.
CS courses are the least demanding of all on computers.

Usually the other courses when it comes to computer would need either office suite or specific software, both are vastly more demanding than the CS toolchain that has been mature since the 90s.

That is, unless the course somehow uses Java, which practically forces you to use an IDE that are full of bloat.
I was personally really hoping for an Intel 16" refresh today. I'm up for a new laptop at work and it's a little bit of a bummer to drop that much on a year-old machine. Not quite sure what to do at this point.
> Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society.

It's a trait of a natural darwinian systems imho. Look at how it works in nature - a pride of lions would have 1 alpha male who dominates most, if not all females.

I have no reason to believe that humans don't have the same innate behaviour as lions.

> how crazy Cohn, Silver, Wasserman's polls were

Silver didn't do any polling, and is the guy that wrote [I'm here to remind you that Trump can still win](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/im-here-to-remind-you-t...) before the election.

> incompetence or malice.

IIRC, Cohn said his number on Latinos in many districts was off by 50%. Call it incompetence if you want.
They're on the side of a certain type of consumer (doesn't even consider upgrading hardware down the line), and with these product launches they're making it more clear than ever that they don't want you to purchase their products if you don't fit into being that type of consumer.
He literally describes at the end of the post how he stumbled upon it...
"The intention behind the rules" is a thing that lives in your imagination. It cannot be quantified. That's the point of having written rules.

Expecting that poll workers will read and adhere to The Rules as stated isn't some wild fantasy. It's literally what they signed up to do. It's foundational to the idea of an election having any legitimacy at all.

It does not require taking a position on "the ban on electioneering", just a position against poll worker vigilantism (virtue-lantism?).
Err, no. This is explicitly about scaling.

I use 200% scaling on the desktop, and this exact checkbox makes Steam use 2x as well.
This seems insane. Are other people having this issue? Seems like a massive Uhaul arbitrage opportunity.
The responses here seem to not really acknowledge what a rabbit apple has been pulling out of the hat. 2-3x the performance both from a CPU and GPU perspective, whilst being far more energy and thermally efficient. Of course this was kind of known and rumoured, but now we know.

Finally real competition for intel. If only these chips were available to others. they are literally running laps around the competition.

Curious where Apple's pro offerings will go, and whether these will be available as servers...
iOS doesn't use swap, it just kill background apps when it needs to devote the whole RAM to a single app; iOS apps are designed with that in mind.

MacOS doesn't get to use any of those tricks.
According to the Anandtech benchmark the A14 (what's in the latest iPhone) is 8% below the Ryzen 5950X. M1 is likely faster than that.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-de...

Quote:

"In the overall SPEC2006 chart, the A14 is performing absolutely fantastic, taking the lead in absolute performance only falling short of AMD’s recent Ryzen 5000 series.

The fact that Apple is able to achieve this in a total device power consumption of 5W including the SoC, DRAM, and regulators, versus +21W (1185G7) and 49W (5950X) package power figures, without DRAM or regulation, is absolutely mind-blowing."

That’s neat!

It’s also generating code for the main method, which is also a new c# 9 feature
It doesn't make sense because we're only seeing a part of the picture right now. Once they release the rest of the product line on their own architecture, it will come together. (Well mostly, Apple has been known to leave big holes in their offerings)
Lovely article, and a terrific final line. Summing up the cleverness, inanity, ambiguity, and camaraderie that I only seem to find on the internet.

Thanks mods for all you do, that which we see and that we don't.
I'm 55 years old and swore off "dating" of the "man pays for dinner and a movie and feels thus entitled to paw me" variety when I was sixteen. So it's possible my information is out of date.

I gather things are in the process of changing and lots of people will, say, just hook up via an app. But, generally speaking, it is my understanding that it tends to still be the norm that the man typically pays for a date.

We do have the term Dutch Treat to mean each person pays their own way. Someone on HN from the Netherlands once described that as evidence of what cheapskates the Dutch are (or something along those lines). Personally, I am inclined to interpret it as related to the fact that the Netherlands has a reputation as having a better than average track record on women's rights and are moving away from social norms rooted in men paying for sex and implicitly treating women as nothing but sex objects for purchase.

(Edit: I'm American. Sorry for doing that American thing and acting like "everyone I talk to on the internet is also American." I'm really tired today. Oops!)
> The only way I could imagine they're useless is if the the vitamins themselves are structurally different and indigestible?

Yes. It is what they are bound to and how they are prepared. The idea of "micronutrients" popped up during the mass production of food post-war--(think of all those cereals that were fortified, fortified because all the nutrients had been stripped out during manufacture!)--and went out of vogue in the 70's. This was the idea that you could reduce food (like a steak) to just a bunch of chemicals, eat those chemicals, and have the same outcome as eating a steak. We've learned a lot more. (That's a crass way to describe it, but close enough.)

I am treating bone loss and I take a prescription Vitamin D because the kind found in OTC single- or multivitamins are not biologically available due to their (inexpensive) preparations.
Maybe I just have a high bar for what qualifies as toxic, but most of the thread seemed to be a reasonable discussion of what had happened.

Obviously some people have made some incorrect assumptions at varying points, but I haven't seen anything that would remotely qualify as toxic.
I don’t know if this was already mentioned but... omg... M1 does not support eGPUs.

The Mac is becoming just an more powerful iPad with an integrated keyboard. Apart from the the software and design difference.

I can believe how stupid and backwards that’s is and I would classify myself as a fanboy.
Burnout really sucks and it can have major business consequences to say nothing of the more significant personal ones. A management lesson that I almost learned the hard way is that some people will push themselves to burnout without intervention, especially in high stakes environments or if they care really deeply about their work (or care deeply about getting ahead). If you're managing a team it is literally your job to monitor workloads, make sure that your team is taking enough vacation, help junior employees say No to clear their schedules, etc.
Nand flash is pretty dense, but way too slow. Sram is fast but not at all dense, needing 6 transistors per bit.

For reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count lists all the largest cpu as of 2019 amd's epyc Rome at 39.54 billion MOSFETs, so even if you replaced the entire chip with Sram you wouldn't even quite reach 1GB!

Dram would be enticing, but the details matter.
