This. I don't think I have celiac but I have issues with histamine. Went on Keto and probiotics (Bacillus subtilis being in the mix doing the trick for me). I was very lethargic and I couldn't drink alcohol, no alcohol free beer either and certain foods wouldn't work either. Eating left over lasagna 2 days in a row? Migraine! The kind where you just wanna throw up.

With the probiotics and keto I can tolerate a few beers though I just don't do it any longer because it still throws my digestive system off if I have too much. But alcohol in geberal is no longer a problem. No migraines (sure if I just drink too much I get a hangover like everyone else but I no longer get a whole day migraine from having one 333ml bottle of alcohol free beer).

I no longer do keto (did the real 20g of carbs max per day for over a half year). Doctor checked for ketones and I was definitely in ketosis and all of my blood markers that were off went into normal. Except for total cholesterol but even that improved. I mean get this I was on the max dose of statins before keto without any significant improvement. With keto, (e.g. smoked salmon with mayonnaise and a boiled egg makes a meal) even my cholesterol improved and I didn't even take any statins any longer.

Our regular western diet is just totally effed up.

We use spelt flower for everything now and I can eat that and I looooove my home made pulled pork. It's quite easy to keep up keto when there's no sugar in the house I find but since the family still craves it, I sneak in way too much of it into my diet. But I still try to keep carbs to a max of ~75g.

And I can tell you, being able to have a nice scotch again without regretting it for the next two days is awesome!

I would like to see greater clarity in this document on limits on sponsor influence with regards to technical governance. For example, I'd like to know if technical governance is considered outside the scope of the Board of Directors.

This is especially important since you have opted for a 501(c)(6), making it easy to be responsive to donors.
Very good points, never thought of it like that. I mostly agree.
Yes that’s completely true. However repairability only matters environmentally because it helps the device have a longer useful lifetime. iPhones have the longest useful lifetimes of any smartphones anyway though, so they’re still clearly the best choice overall.

My one criticism of the a Greenpeace report I think is that they don’t really put enough weight on average device working lifetime. It’s a direct multiplier on every other factor.

I don't expect to much of a black market during the first phase since the vaccines are being sent directly to hospitals and nursing homes. Medication in those places tends to be literally locked down (initially just for drugs of abuse but recently I've heard most medication is becoming tracked and locked down). Although since the vaccine has to be stored in a freezer, I'm not quite sure how hospitals will keep their supply secure other than having a guard.

Once the second phase opens next year and allows anyone with a risk factor including some pretty common ones; diabetes and obesity, I expect the rules to be bent a bit more and a black/greymarket to gain traction. Although, wealthy people tend to be older anyway which makes them more likely to qualifying risk factors.
I have no idea why in university we covered state machines so very little when they solve a host of problems and can replace fundamental ways in designing software. Not only that but it's also compatible with them all.

I finally tried using state machines in a hobby project and its much better than just writing a bunch of if then statements in a event loop.

> so your character says something completely different than what you chose

Oh gosh. This grinds my gears so bad. Wherever this trend started (and I've seen it in many games -- I think RDR2 and Witcher 3 most recently for me), it should really stop. Do developers think it's some sort of positive surprise when you get to see how they paraphrased (at best) the menu option into dialogue? Or is it just laziness/sloppiness around keeping the menus and dialogue in sync?

If I was to develop a game, I'd make it an invariant in the game engine that the wording on the menu option is what your character will say next, full stop.

Liquidation preferences. Large investors can negotiate a liquidation preference with their investment. This means they will receive some multiple (1x, 2x, ...) of their investment from the liquidation proceeds. These investors can also be "participating members" which means after receiving their liquidation preference they can still receive their pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds based on their equity stake.

So if a company was liquidated for an amount at or below the sum of the liquidation preferences there's nothing left for the shareholders to divvy up.

Interesting that their empowerment award is exclusive to YC companies. Seems reasonable as a filtering mechanism, although I assume it will also be a lightning rod for people to get angry about.

Either way the mentorship will be incredible, as will the ability to make connections in the industry. I imagine getting chosen for this program will have a large, measurable impact on the companies' valuations.

Sounds like bs.

Traditionally, vaccines have been tried out in the poorest countries first... because it's easy to do if all you have to do for masses to show up is bribe the leaders and give hungry people free food. If things go wrong, "they died of hunger" and nobody cares.

This time around, it may be a bit tricky to do that, so it has to be tried out closer to home. The problem is people are not willing to be guinea pigs. Many would rather wait and see: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/who-wants-be-guinea-pig-h...

So, I think this is just an effort to manufacture consent. "The rich people are willing to pay a lot for it. Are you sure you don't want it?"

I think there is a better way to do it than to give it to doctors and other frontline workers. They're too valuable. The people who are going to get it should be randomly drafted to get it... over and over again until we reach critical mass. Eventually, we should leave out enough people unvaccinated and hence long term effects can be less catastrophic.
No idea how it actually is, but I would expect children working in blockbuster to be on the track of careful processes regarding child respect, far more than some random popular youtube channel. Of course abuses can happen anywhere.

We take a process that produces entangled pairs, and send the 2 particles to different places. As long as we don't measure their state (whatever that means - TBD :) ), they remain entangled.
How much of that was active dev time. I guess they spent half that time just in the concept stage. I also have to question why you would try to develop your own engine for such a project. Had they used Unreal they can at least point to Epic for all of these porting issues.

Considering steam can never run out of copies, I don't see the need to ever buy a game particularly a bigger game, ASAP.

I'll give it a year or so, the game will still be available to purchase it won't be in a much better state.

But it’s not a life saving measure in the same way a surgery might be. It’s life saving in the sense of seatbelts. And given a bit of time everyone can hopefully get it. I’m having trouble imagining many scenarios where getting the vaccine now vs. a bit later makes such a massive difference.

The mayor of Seattle where they tolerated an occupation for several weeks by an insurgent force, waiting until two children were murdered within the zone to break it up, and now facing a new autonomous zone at Cal Anderson, has frankly not done enough to end the insurgent behavior in Seattle.

I'm fine with tear gas against militants who capture parts of our cities and hold them hostage, destroying businesses, committing mass vandalization, harassment of bystanders, LARPing revolution, and inevitably getting innocent children -- two at CHAZ in separate incidents -- killed, and then preventing police from investigating those murders.

Much of the same can be said for Portland. We don't need to defund police, we need to defund educational programs teaching Critical Race Theory, which argues that the US is illegitimate and the land should be "returned" to indigenous nations, which I guess means removing or killing people of European descent. Look up the claims of the Red House in Portland if you don't believe me. Look up "LAND BACK".

Yeah, I think either or those (or both) could work. Looking at it again, a lot of the issue I'm seeing is that the URL and the title are equally prominent and fighting for my attention. I'd take the one you think is less important (probably the URL, imo) and visually make it clear that it's less important, similar to what you did with the user and time it was posted.

Looks great. Gut reaction on the UI is that it feels very cramped -- the fonts are kind of biggish for the spaces they go, and there isn't enough breathing room between things and somehow it manages to take my whole screen but still give me the feeling I'd like to make the window a lot bigger. (note: viewing on an MBP)

Also, no comment threads? I'd much rather have commenting (hierarchical threads) on a reddit replacement than live chat. Maybe that's just me and maybe that's your entire point. I was just surprised by it and have very little interest in watching a chat stream fly by.
> It has zero dependencies (other than React)

Well, if you’re gonna draw the line there... React alone and the tooling it requires already gives you about 1400 dependencies. That is not what people mean by “zero dependencies”, especially choosing the framework that is one of the worst offenders.
The OMSCS material is great! I'm really enjoying the challenge of learning new things (I didn't learn much of anything new at WGU. That's not a knock against WGU's materials, which seemed good. It's just a reflection of my having worked in industry and self-studying for 15 years before applying).

I do think GATech could learn a few things from WGU. I found WGU to have much better administration. WGU was 10x better about enrolling, being able to get support, and such. Overall, WGU had less bullshit than GATech. I also really loved the ability to go at my own pace at WGU.

GATech uses a semi-synchronous model in that you're on a deadline for each assignment and exam. I don't like the subjective grading of the assignments, and sometimes they're ambiguous about what they want exactly. Seems to very a lot from class-to-class. I loved that at WGU you could have redoes - even though I never took advantage of that it was a lot lower stress knowing I could redo an assignment or exam. At GATech there are no redoes short of dropping a course.

Overall, I think WGU is the best value for a BS CS, and GATech is the best value for a MS CS right now - and really there aren't any close seconds.

If you want to discuss further, let me know, and I'll send you an email.

Also, off topic, but did you get any scholarship at WGU? Their scholarships are basically coupons. I thought everyone got one, and I was surprised to not see that in your accounting.
How is it corruption if it's the official policy to auction off some of the vaccine to top bidders?

AlphaZero, formerly the strongest chess playing program/player, searches the game tree via Monte Carlo tree search, which really isn't brute force.

Hi the design is minimal and simple to understand. I hope this gets traction. But I noticed that you serve 450KB of JS on initial load. This is not required at all for a site with such a minimal design and a single list. Ideally this site should be less than 10kb in total with no js and atomic css. This is loading slow even in desktop. The app loads first and the /posts API response takes a lot of time to load. It could be server rendered for the initial load and served from a CDN.
Fair enough. I definitely think he had a real shot, perhaps not the favorite but definitely a strong contender. He's been a name in his region for so long that I don't think recognition would be a huge problem (even before he went to congress he was in the Michigan house) and the fundraising numbers I shared just don't make sense if he truly had no chance. But impossible to say what would have happened, so I guess we'll have to wait and see when he does decide to run for something else.

At risk of feeding a political debate ... JFC! Teachers are an absolutely vital pillar of the economy, both for preparing the next generation, and for freeing up the parents for full time work. Their inability to do their jobs right now is absolutely crippling the economy and amplifying they crisis tenfold. The virtualization of classrooms has already had effects that will be felt for years.

And they’re seriously arguing for holding that up on the grounds that teachers are too white and well-off? Wow.

The chronic underpayment of teachers looks almost trivial by comparisons.

I have no doubt this is happening, but this article seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Most of the article is about hypothetical situations where boutique doctor clinics might receive vaccine allocations that would go to their wealthy client base. Unless I'm missing something, the article doesn't actually say it's happening, just that it might.

The headline claim about one person asking about a $25K donation comes from a single anecdote in the middle of the article:

> Dr. Jeff Toll, who has admitting privileges at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, one of the first hospitals to stock the vaccine, recalled a patient asking: “If I donate $25,000 to Cedars, would that help me get in line?’” Toll said no.

The rest of the article makes a logical leap from people asking their doctors when they can get the vaccine to implications that they are trying to skip the line by paying extra, simply because they're wealthy. The author throws in some anti-Hollywood and anti-Silicon Valley jabs for good measure:

> The pattern is familiar in a state where Hollywood stars and Silicon Valley executives are accustomed to getting their way.

There doesn't seem to be much substance to this article, beyond the one anecdote from one guy who asked about a $25K donation.
How about we just have a wealth tax and give the money to those affected by the pandemic.
Of course we know that respiratory infections can cause long-term effects. That is almost certainly true also of covid.

Agreed. It's the same a "donating a building" vs "bribing admin" to get your kid into an ivy league U.

The former essentially offsets the negative impact by creating positive externalities, unlike the latter.
> The fact that if you can learn in 3 months what the average student learns for 5 years, there is a possibility for you go get a signal that really only costs you 3 months of your time, and also proportionally less money, is a fantastic improvement over the traditional way where if you are faster, you just have to spend more time waiting... while still paying huge money for that time.

I think the most accurate way to say it is that, while Rust compile times are not inherently slow, Rust has in most cases where where a desirable feature was at odds with compile times decided to sacrifice it. So while it is not inherently slow to compile, it was not designed to be easy to compile quickly either.
