pork-belly contains a ton of fat and is just innately unhealthy

Citation needed. Not all fats are created equal.

For example Inuits consume 50% of their calories from fat [1]. They do not have the "western diet disease" (obesity, heart disease, etc.)

It really IS the processed fats that are bad for you. You can see this all over the world when Aboriginal peoples are introduced to industrial cooking / ultra-processed foods / "western corporate diet".

They literally get addicted, and their body size increases by double digit percentages within a generation. This also happened in the US, but happens faster around the world. The average body weight for a man in the US increased from ~166 in the 1960’s to ~196 today [2].

This is an amazing fact that needs an explanation if you don't believe it's a result of the rise in industrial cooking.

And if you believe in capitalism, you would have to explain how this would NOT happen. Why wouldn't companies gradually develop cheap, consistently manufactured, addictive foods? The profit motive would lead them there, even if it weren't intentional.

I suggest reading some of Michael Pollan's books like Omnivore's Dilemma or Cooked; they talk about this (and probably talk about Inuits specifically as far as I remember)

Another anecdote: I know someone from the Midwest with "industrial cooking disease" who dropped from 350 lbs to 200 lbs in a year by going on the "carnivore diet", where he ate exclusively beef and chicken (yes, literally).

I remember someone else remarking the same thing on HN, and observing that going vegan can have the same effect.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19177116 (not sure if this is the thread but there are many of them on HN)

Hypothesis: Both the carnivore diet and a vegan diet are BOTH suboptimal. The reason that they help many people with "western diet disease" is that you eliminate industrial cooking / ultra-processed foods from your diet.

The human body is extremely flexible and can metabolize a wide variety of things in the environment. What it apparently can't metabolize is addictive foods that corporations have created...
From what I gather, good progress is being made on the SPARK Ada tooling, for formally verified software development.

Do you have something specific in mind? IDEs? I don't know much about this but I presume work is being done on Rust/Zig IDEs.

Has anyone tried to use zstd on the web with WebAssembly?
Exactly! I have the uglier but slightly cheaper version of that air purifier (the Coway Airmega 200M). I think the faceplate is the only difference. I forgot to mention in my original comment that it also has a prefilter for larger dust particles, which I imagine probably improves the lifetime of the other filters.

> the entity cannot offer a degraded service

Does this mean that sites that offer free but ad-supported content still have to offer that content? So I can watch those free Youtube movies and listen to those Spotify tracks ad-free because EU Law says fuck you.

How is this fair?

Edit: Okay, okay, non-targeted (and no 3rd party) ads are okay, got it xD
No that’s what I mean as well. Corporations wrote tons of free as in freedom software.

You’re probably using a corporate free software browser right now?

The idea that free software is a niche done by amateurs is wrong. Most people who work on Linux are paid to do so. Same for Chrome, same for Java, same for LLVM, etc etc all the way up the stack.

Free software won, and we have the corporations who funded it to thank.
I could be wrong but I would think that most people would prefer being able to quietly lobby for improvement at their company rather than going public and putting their job and career on the line. There are certainly rabble rousers out there whose first instinct is always to draw public attention to themselves but it doesn't seem like that's the case here.
More like "The Navy and Air Force realized that UFO reporting was being laughed at, which could result in pilots not reporting new Chinese or Russian aircraft (manned or drone) they saw on patrol but could not identify."
Not reporting sightings that actually happened could lead to major blind spots for DoD planning.

So the DoD is trying to normalize UFO reporting in hopes of keeping tabs on Chinese and Russian aircraft.

Commander: "What do you mean, you've 'seen those fancy new stealth fighters' before?!? They're flying over our base!!!"

Fighter pilot: "Sorry sir, we thought it was a UFO and it wasn't in the briefings before, so we didn't report it because we'd look dumb."

Intel guy: "Uh, yeah, I've got intelligence photos of these from spy sats, but since none of you had ever seen one, you weren't need-to-know... yet. We've seen them on the tarmac, but we have no idea what they're loaded with."

As the article very briefly notes, that Dr. [REDACTED] may well be Hal Puthoff, whose book Pais likely read, and who then would appear to have perhaps directly inspired Pais' ideas. Said more disparagingly: it may only show that some kook liked hearing their ideas parroted back to them.
Pure analytics is exempt of consent from the gdpr point of view from my understanding and from explanations of our local french regulator.
Age, most likely. He explicitly calls out one of the blurs as some teenagers. The rest look like they're younger from body shape too. All of the faces I saw were clearly over 18.
It's basically a form of malicious compliance.
I don't think I'm letting Apple off easy because I don't think it's not their fault. I just think that, until we see the document in question, we can't squarely say that it is their fault. Preview and Acrobat both have ways of dealing with junk/bogus data and I feel like that's what's going on here. There must have been some kind of bit switched when the document was "corrected" and it's possible that Acrobat and Preview just resolve that issue differently while both still outputting "valid" PDF files.
I found frozen veggies is the best and so convenient. This + an air fryer makes cooking so much quicker. Also good for fatty foods like wings since it bakes out the grease better than my oven.

Source? The developer machines Apple shipped out didn't have virtualization support so they couldn't start on that until after the M1 and I haven't seen anything that says Docker got M1's early.
This may not be exactly what you asked for, but there is https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/

Also, it isn't the law that has been terribly implemented, although that could be argued as well, but rather the fault lies with the companies that do not want to abide by the law.

There are a few easy ways to check if a website is breaking the law:

- Is it as easy to say "no" to the consent as it is to say "yes"? If not, it's not legal, as the consent is not freely given.

- Is the website setting tracking cookies, or tracking you in some other way, before you have made your choice about the consent? If it is, it's not legal, as the consent must be opt-in not opt-out.

- Is it confusing? Then it's probably not legal, as the consent must be informed.

- Is there a button to "accept all" with no clear list of what you're accepting? Then it's not legal, as the consent must be specific and unambiguous.

It's not rocket science, anyone can read it up for example here https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/
Moved from German QWERTZ and never looked back as well. I figured QWERTY with Eurkey layout[0] is a good middle ground. As it allows me to use EN_US as a base for programming, but access umlauts, accentos and such if needed.

US Postal Inspection Service will only investigate if you know the parcel was sent by USPS.

I saw the title and was going to comment about the same thing. My understanding is the GA144 is clockless. From the product literature the advantage is reduced power consumption. It is also a Forth machine.

I've wanted to get one of these for a while but the eval board price is a little steep for someone who just wants to tinker with it. The chip individually is not terribly expensive. At one point there was a budget version available for around $20 but these are no longer available.

How does no 3rd party tracking without consent mean "ad-free"?
Spotify can show you non-targeted or contextually targeted ads, as is done with TV, radio, print media, movie theaters, billboards, etc.

The fact that spotify doesn't want to because it's less profitable is where EU law says fuck you.
I made a bet once, claiming that a cellphone wouldn't work in a microwave (obviously, with the microwave not operating) because it's a Faraday cage. We'd get a call going, put the phone in the microwave and close the hatch. See if the call drops. The tech back then was 900Mhz GSM.

I lost that bet.

While we were at it, we tried all sorts of metal containers one can find in a household, and couldn't find anything that would make that GSM call drop.
I find these pop ups weird. Shouldn't we get an option to say, "Disable tracking"? These pop ups don't really have any utility because a banner won't stop them from reading the article.
It's more about deterrent than returning the money.

The amount of money per customer is probably a few dollars at most. It wouldn't be efficient to return that money and would probably be better used for future cases and prevention.
Funnily enough I used Firebird/Firefox before Opera: I had avoided it because of the ads. It wasn't until they removed ads that I gave it a try.
I feel that browsers should implement a permissions grant pop-up for when a site attempts to set a cookie with SameSite=none, and the cookie api can be extended to enable explanations to be given by the developer.
First, MLK Jr wasn't a fictional character.

MLK Jr was a minister but portrayals of him understandably focus on his work as a civil rights leader and organizer, not his time in ministry.

Also, reaching back over 50 years for an example that isn't even pulled from fiction/culture kind of proves parent's point :-)
I'd really like to do a CPU/GPU upgrade, but I've resigned myself to waiting for a while until things settle down.
I don't see why something "going back decades" can be an argument on the validity of a philosophy.
That was just damage control when he got caught.
Those ads will just have to be served without the tracking. You know, like how it has worked for decades on television and radio.
My point exactly: they don't mention any of this. I would very much like to hear how it takes half an hour to make a phone call, send a text ("We have an exceptional situation here although we believe it's nothing significant.

I tried to order a custom desktop with a rtx2070 this November from a dozen sellers. Everyone said they had problem with their own suppliers and I should expect to wait until mid January or buy at something like 800 euros for that card. Insane (I just took a xbox series s instead).
> Not only do you have 0 idea about the algorithm they use

What? Google was the first search engine that actually published papers on how their search engine works, and they've continued to do so through the years. Nearly everything that Google does can be linked to academic and industry publications written by Google employees that describe exactly how their systems work. The only things they keep private are the techniques they use to prevent people from gaming their ranking algorithms.

> You don't even know what data they have on you, and how this is used!

Again, what? https://takeout.google.com has exactly that information, and again, they were the first company that ever did this, and the vast majority still don't.

Google has been incredibly transparent, and they're key reason why the open source community is where it is today. Did people forget what the world was like before Google? Do you remember Embrace Extend Extinguish? Open Source Software was under a full on assault by the software industry. The idea that a software engineer could work on open source software on their free time, let alone get paid for it, was a completely foreign notion.
Were they modest goals, or are you being humble? I for one would enjoy hearing your story.
Well considering, in the past, the the only way to wage war was to pay for it with increased taxes (ie, prior to deficit spending). So high taxes and being the only industrial power are correlated due to the US winning the war.
Just to check my own understanding...

So roughly, the idea is that if I’m smart money (say a big hedge fund or institutional trader), behind any of my trades is an implication that I know something worthwhile. So my trades will move the market, and this can leave market makers holding the bag if prices move quickly.

But if I‘m the proverbial dentist, my trades are just noise that don’t signal anything real about the market. I can get better execution because market makers aren’t worried about my trades moving the price out from under them.

Am I in the right neighborhood here?
I totally agree.

As I was until recently working in a food startup, producing "ready to cook" products (organic fair trade delicious mixes of grain, dried vegetables and spices), I can testify of a strong society injonction towards healthier food AND at the same time a rejection of this pressure.
Few years back I created some HelloWorld application on Google's AppEngine (requires Java, Python or Go) and was positively surprised about its statistics on theirs dashboard.

I want to share some of my thought on soldering:
The best way to understand soldering is to think primarily in terms of surface tension or capillary action and intermetallic compounds.
You set it up correctly and apply heat so that fluid dynamics can finish the job.
The atoms get to where they are supposed to be. There is no technique or dexterity required with the soldering iron itself.
I would also recommend that you think of solder wire as a 2in1.
The flux core in the solder wire is helpful, but not the endgame.
Use extra flux from a flux pen or flux bottle that is compatible with the flux core in the solder wire.
For example: You can put a glob of solder on the tip of your soldering iron and just bring it in to the surface or joint.
If you have pre-applied flux on a clean surface or joint, the liquid solder will wick off the soldering iron and onto the surface by itself. Perfect every time. (Surface tension, capillary action.)

For manual hand soldering, the flux management is the only complicated part.
What flux to use? Do you have to clean it? How to clean it? Saponifiers, or IPA good enough? Compatible with the flux in the solder wire?
You must be sure to reach the activation temperature of all the flux on the board or it can corrode metals over time.
"No Clean" fluxes are really hard to clean without special saponifiers, I would avoid these fluxes.
Is the flux residue on the board still inert after it gets wet by accident or at high humidity?
There are also problems with high frequency circuits and No Cleans.
Water soluble fluxes require excellent process control. Even tiny defects in the PCB can cause failures if you use water soluble flux.
Read the datasheets and recommendations from the flux manufacturer.

Some fluxes are more easy going:
For you Americans I would recommend Kester 186 Flux-Pen and Kester 285 Sn63Pb37 RMA Flux-Cored Wire.
Do not use more flux than necessary, do not make a mess.
Use eye protection for this flux from Kester!

Soldering gets even more interesting with gold embrittlement (gold plating thickness and migration to the center of the IMC), tin whiskers, silver whiskers, etc.
There is much more to all of this if you want really high reliability.
I went deep down this rabbit hole once. Not a professional soldering guy. Just obsessive compulsive about high reliability design.

What if the processed-food percent of a persons diet predicts their health outcomes as well as questions like "do you exercise regularly?".

Aren't we more interested in health outcomes associated with food rather than moralistic rules or labels?

The leap from "this general rule has some exceptions" to "this is worthless" is unwarranted.

You still personally expect people that eat less processed foods to be slimmer on average than those that eat more, right?
> There's a problem with this though. These fans weren't designed to be run with a filter. The filter will restrict air flow which will put a higher strain on the motor causing it to use more electricity and in worse cases could be a fire hazard. The higher the MERV rating (cleaning efficiency) of the filter the more stress it will put on the fan.

I'm fairly certain the opposite is true. In fact, most rowing machines work on this principle. The easiest setting is the one where the fan is as closed off as possible because it's pulling a vacuum. Less air, less resistance, easier to row / less power required to spin the fan. If anything, fans should draw less current with air flow on the inlet side restricted.
Exactly the same for me. I had a bunch of goals; I fulfilled most of them, and the ones I didn't/couldn't I god much better alternatives for. I have not created any new goals; a lot of changes have happened recently, and fulfillment of my previous ambitions is just keeping me in some sort of skewed confidence that I just need to react to whatever life throws at me now.

Although, I'm thoroughly fed up of what I liked to do earlier; now I'm looking for a new career path. Let's see how it goes.

sidenote - "Lean and JIT style management of inventories" is one of the operational causes of those supply chain inefficiencies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect#Operational_ca... . It is a classic result from the dynamic systems that improving the feedback in a given system may lead to destabilization of the system. Somehow it is lost on the proponents of Lean/JIT/etc.

It is interesting how it has similarity with software development - several years ago i worked on a project that was being done under total Lean/Agile/Scrum regime. Scrum forces significant lead times into the upstream/downstream components chain(graph) like in a supply chain. As a result the whole upstream/downstream components graph relationship on that project got extremely slow (a sprint wait to get new upstream component version, try to use it in this sprint and fail because of bugs, file the bugs, the bugs get fixed the next sprint at best, while other components trying to move forward in their development ) and ultimately completely broke down after about 2 years to the point where the product couldn't even be built as not just functionality (the functionality got really lost months before that), the interfaces got completely out-of-wack without any chance of reconciliation in the setting of that process, and the product was quietly canceled soon as a result.
