It's time to separate UI from logic (finally). Let the UI guys make UI projects that hook onto engines made by backend guys. Why one frontend? Let the community come up with a few and don't let a backend engineer and their practices and ideas anywhere close to a designer, the former will suffocate the latter with their total lack of vision and sensitivity.
"you’re usually only hyperinsulinemic if you’re obese or diabetic."

Is that true or just an artifact of screening? Hyperinsulinemia is not really well researched in "normal" population, because measurement of insulin in blood is not trivial; there are no simple devices similar to glucometers that could easily and affordably measure your current insulin level.

Eating a modern diet laced with hidden sugar is a surefire way to increase your total insulin level.

It is not as if a healthy pancreas has a choice. It automatically releases insulin as a response to certain stimuli, including sugar, but also interestingly protein. Only pure fat is "invisible" to pancreas AFAIK.
The craziest part of this american culture war, to me, is that it seems to spill over to the rest of the world.

My sister and I, living in Germany, have a very loving relationship, but we absolutely disagree on almost everything political and basically are stuck in our seperate bubbles.

This gave us an interesting observation: 5 years ago it took us about two to three months, to have a fight over something that started to become a hot-topic in the US.

Over time, this has shrunken to about 48 hours. This is not because our bubbles are particularly US centric, more that it has become envogue to simply discuss whatever gets "the other side" going.

In particularly, it is very interesting that "the other side" is aligning ever more so with the US political spectrum, where in the past such a thing was unheard of, atleast here in Germany. I've heard similar stories from Friends in other Non-US Nations, be it in Asia, Africa, aswell as other european nations.
Does anyone else have similar stories?
In Denmark,the former state-owned, TDC has to provide equal access to their network for other competitors, meaning they can only charge the cost of maintaining the infrastructure, which has mostly been build through governmental funding

They have on multiple occasions tried to force competitors out of the market by making unfavorable pricing models or straight up blocking third parties from using their infrastructure

They are in no way a "benevolent former monopoly" and there's a lot of regulations in place to avoid them exploiting their market position, since they in the past have tried exactly that

Denmark has cheap, fast internet because of the regulations enforced on the market, which makes it possible for me to get a 1gbit symmetric connection from a small provider for 120 DKK (approximately $20) per month
The internet has existed for me as a boring citizen in the boonies since at least ‘95. This doesn’t even count Ham radio, BBS, and various other local and global methods of sharing speech.
Since satire seems to be popular this week (which is a bit more laid back here in the U.S. due to the holidays), I thought I'd share one of my favorite pieces.

Note that I do understand that Anorexia is a serious disease - clearly the author was going for "The Lean Start-up" cranked up to eleven but I wish a better title had been chosen.

Other satire this week (same story but the first uses a placeholder for the language of choice):

Also, if you steal it, it’s income and you have to pay income tax, so it’s not tax-free. That’s what did in Al Capone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone#Tax_evasion)

You also may have to pay wealth tax over possessing expensive goods.
I'm sorry, I don't understand. It seems we're agreeing on there being a divide, except I think the current situation is just a natural result of widespread adoption.

There's more people tinkering with dev boards and writing open source software, too, so it's not all bad.
Why must there be a cause? You can't just "make people better", just because they aren't having the same priorities, desires and morals as you do? That's the mistake the guys that did the mass-relocations of old did. ;)

In the long run, there is no silver bullet to fight climate change, pollution, over-population, decreased nativity, poverty, geopolitical power-play, consumerism, good old greed, and the other things that we humans use to screw up the planet. We need just as many different solutions as there are problems.

What we need is a cultural change that swings people from "doing nothing" to "doing something". If we keep trying to look for ways to force others to do what we want then we'll just keep fighting about it. I've planted 20 trees this week. With luck, I'll do another 50 this weekend. The plan is to turn our second, unused, field into a forest. I encourage everyone to set a good example by doing their part rather than trying to find ways of forcing others to do things for them.
Interview with UI Bakery Founder, Valdimir Lugovski
I generally agree with the notion that the parties raise money off this rhetoric. However the implied group in the title, “America’s wealthy” isn’t covered here. The DNC fundraisers benefit a group of people who don’t generally fall into that category. They’re rich, and powerful sure, but they’re not Jeff Bezos. Americans would do well to be able to tell the difference between the oligarchs and their lackeys.
> the fact that a machine learning model trained in an unsupervised fashion can succeed that much at anything non-trivial is mind-boggling to me, and makes me hopeful that other tasks will also be within reach relatively soon.

To me, on the contrary, GPT-3 is quite a saddening thing. With every example I come across, I get a more and more clear idea of the limits of current mainstream approaches in AI.

When it comes to predicting or achieving human-level general behavior it seems to me that the SOTA is reaching a hard limit that lies far below actual AGI.

I'm not a researcher in this field, so this opinion should be taken with more than a grain of salt, but if I'm right, 10 years from now we're still gonna be stuck at GPT-3-ish levels of clever mimicry.
Functional Algorithm Design, Part 1
I loved Heinlein as a kid...

I wonder how many geeks today realize he's the origin of the term 'grok' ?
You get it!

I see so many major publishers doing just what I've described, too, and it bewilders me. There are still a lot of brilliant people working in publishing, even traditional publishing. See the New York Times digital teams, after all.

But there is a gaping void of high-functioning software for digital publishing that is extensible, and that is easily integrated with existing workflows (InDesign/InCopy as either an endpoint or an entry point—or better yet, two-way) and capable of multichannel publishing out of the box.

And not just in the creative and digital ends. There is a sore lack of labour-reducing software in the print world as well. Flyer creation—tens of thousands of hours a year are burned just moving data from a spreadsheet into templates. (I have similar critiques of Excel here: use it for the data entry, tabling, what have you. But don't try and make your mock-up layout in there and expect that to 1:1 translate to InDesign without any labour. And for the love of god do not promote it as such)

The impasses I've seen are as such: a lot of tech assumes publishing and printing are "dead", people in industries that have tradition baked into workflows are not open to learning a new tool every year to do the same task so it needs to be a substantial improvement/change, and publishing doesn't have the same piles of VC/investor cash behind it that it had in the 90's (much like "tech" does now).

But I digress...

>Can someone explain the seeming asymmetry between men's and women's experiences in online dating?

Different use cases.

Men are there to find a date. They mostly fail because the vast majority of women are not looking for a date.

Reapply whats happening to real life. Vast majority of women don't engage men on online dating. That's the same offline. Women can find their dates through their social circles; social circles tend to be small compared to online dating but does the job.

Million $ question, what is online dating for women? It's about self-esteem or new choices. Say she's in a relationship with a guy and it's not exactly working out. Well she can join online dating and look at the options.

There's a break point around age 25-30 though. That's the age where women lose the driver seat in dating and men get the seat. Yet women don't know it or something. This creates a divide that really confuses women, they've enjoyed their control. They still see tons of connections. Surely they are still driving? nope.

This is what leads to historic low marriage, fertility, and birth rate.

So bumble was created to reverse it. women have to make the first move. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumble_(app)

Everyone knows how that's going. Badly.
It would be nice it if wasn't perpetually on backorder though.
In countries or legal frameworks based around civil law, I think that could possibly occur. It would be impossible to do this in a formulaic way in legal areas covered by common law, although having digitized legal "assistants" that could bring up and analyze relevant precedents seems almost guaranteed (if they don't exist already?)

It's possible that the technical discussion about online signature checking was subsumed by the political discussion--the two are interrelated and if we don't get into these discussions here I don't really see another place for them to happen.

It's easy to shrug it off as simply a technical issue, and it's very convenient for the PR department as well.

It does its thing inside a docker container so nothing has to be installed.

This is a shell script that installs Unbound DNS and sets a redirect for the host specified in the script. Did you mean that nothing has to be installed in the docker image?

Either way, you should check to see if they already have Unbound installed and not clobber their configuration file. Hopefully most people would figure this out before running the script, but it is just a suggestion. If they do have it installed, consider adding a file to /etc/unbound/conf.d/ and running the config check first before reloading and after the unbound-checkconf returns status code 0.

This tracks for me, having lots of friends and connections outside of America. Personally I think it’s yet more evidence that what we can often dismissively refer to as a “culture war.” Is a disagreement over fundamental moral issues that we just refuse to talk about directly or really act on.

Directly contradicting current Apple Marketing.

I don't think it's too far fetched to assume that the Al-Adudi Hospital was founded based on an nascent sense of Germ Theory. Allow me to explain:

To quote the wikipedia source: "hanging a piece of meat in several places for a few days and deciding in favor of the place where meat was found to be least infected." Infected definition = "contaminated with an infective agent (such as a bacterium or virus)."

I think they could likely see some infective agents such as flies, maggots, and spoilage in meat, and translate this to their own flesh as analogous to meat. In terms of theory, my best guess is simply one of "meat goes bad when it is infected by parasites (i.e. maggots as well as perhaps stuff we do not/cannot see)"

Note that per [1] "Basic forms of germ theory were proposed in the late Middle Ages by physicians including Ibn Sina in 1025"

Whereas, from OP's source: "The Al-Adudi Hospital was founded in 981 by the then ruler of Baghdad, Adud al-Dawlah, and was also named after him"

Given the proximity of those dates (981 vs 1025)-- the proposal of Germ Theory by Middle Eastern (specifically, Persian in the case of Ibn Sina) doctors, and the hospital's founding in the near Middle Eastern region of Turkey a few years decades earlier, and the prolific nature of science in the Medieval Islamic-sphere of influence/Middle Eastern world, I think it's a decently strong argument that the basis is very early germ theory.

Loved the piece. Diet is a part of it but so are hormones.

I've been overweight (90kg/200lb at 1,8m/6ft) since going to college and tried dieting but never managed to be lean. In my 20s I would diet and lose 20lb but then gain it again. Over time I convinced myself "that wasn't a big deal".

I went to an endocrinologist last month and I feel like the scales have fallen from my eyes. Suddenly all that resistance to losing weight wasn't because I suck at dieting. It's because my hormones and my fat keep me from losing weight. The medicine I'm taking even drove away the binge factor. Even though I'm still at the start of my weight loss journey just lifting that burden from my shoulders.
"Willpower certainly is the problem for most people. "

Why was this not a problem prior to 1980? It is not as if we switched from hunter and gatherer society straight into postmodern world in 1980. People back then drove cars and ate in restaurants, and look at the photos: they looked far healthier. The fattest US state of 1980 was still much less fat than the fittest US state of 2020.

Why the same people who have a willpower problem can tolerate their bratty teenagers, rise up at 5 am to go to work, pull through arduous work etc.? After all, you would expect them to lack willpower generally, not in just one specific domain.

Humans are the same as they were. What changed is the amount of processed food and especially sugar in our diets. A lot.
Civil law probably has a big edge in computer-driven legal implementation, if that's where things are headed.

I have no idea what would be in it for Common Law countries. Perhaps they'd be more driven towards using data mapping techniques to lay out networks of heterogeneous legal stuff (jurisprudence etc.).

The cause of culture war, as with all wars, is at bottom boredom, and the cure is to find intrinsically motivating pursuits that engage you so much that you look upon the culture warrior the same way you look upon those who spend all day playing videos games.
>The craziest part of this american culture war, to me, is that it seems to spill over to the rest of the world.

It does not seem so crazy to me, after decades of cultural imperialism from America, that we are mirroring the same patterns of behaviour and fighting the same battles. (Just to be clear, I'm not against imperialism)

If American politics are straining your relationship with your sister and you are not even American, sorry to put it like this but only you two have yourselves to blame. Next time your sister brings the topic up say "yeah right" and move on.
And the residential plan TOS still forbids "servers". Specifically:

> use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises local area network (“Premises LAN”), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited equipment and servers include, but are not limited to, email, web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;

Funny thing is this seemingly contradictory clause has been added at some point:

> use or run programs from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises LAN, except for personal and non-commercial residential use;

So "dedicated, stand-alone equipment" is prohibited, but if it's just a "program" you can use it for personal non-commercial purposes. What does that mean for a program running on a RaspberryPi?

> It could even cause headaches if contradictions in legal judgements are detected.

I remember hearing an anecdote about researchers who tried to formally specify the benefits system of some European country, and they found that the system was slightly non-deterministic, in the sense that the outcome for the citizen would depend on which order various government departments processed the various forms that the citizen used to enrol into various programmes they were eligible for.

It makes me wonder if these mathematical formalisations should support some kind of fuzzing, to check that entities doing things in slightly different orders (or earning slightly more/less) don't produce dramatic changes in outcome.

Sure, but the post I replied to specifically said

> The vendor just doesn't want to acknowledge the real role of Raspberry Pi is not limited to being a cheap tinkerer board anymore

To me, tinkering means GPIO.

That's why I was asking why the want for a Raspberry Pi, why not get something else that already exist. I'm curious what they're looking for. Of course if they still want GPIO then that's a valid point.
Just to clarify. In general it's still the best to control both your diet and activity level and the balance of how much increase in activity and reduction in calories intake works best is I suspect highly individual. For me, due to my history I find increasing my activity level much easier. It also improves my psychological well-being as I know that how good I feel is strongly dependent on doing enough sport.
Yes, if you count that the services I am using (Mastodon, Matrix) provide methods to export the data directly from their clients.

If you want to get the data from your account (payment history, services you used, people you invited, etc) you can get that only via the API or semi-automatically if you request your data and I run my "export user data" back-office command.

I believe you are trying to think about this rationally, but this is not the only thing going on.

When a mac boots up or changes network location, a long list of processes on your machine (like AppleIdAuthAgent, identityservicesd, , and maybe 10 or 20 more) connect to various apple servers associating your actual identity with the ip address. It will continue to do these kinds of things while you are online. And all this is interleaved with oscp requests.

An example of how the US argues over the death penalty in a way which doesn't happen elsewhere, but perhaps should:

>In fact, opinion polls show that Europeans and Canadians crave executions almost as much as their American counterparts do. It's just that their politicians don't listen to them. In other words, if these countries' political cultures are morally superior to America's, it's because they're less democratic.

Don't worry, that's why I emphasised the loving relationship part, we really don't take our political opinions into this and wouldn't have emotional fights about them. Family comes before all that.
