> The single biggest difference between Japanese and American diet is the amount of food

What about sugar? There's a big difference there, too. Americans put sugar in everything, even things you'd think wouldn't need it, like salad dressing and pizza dough.

Sugar (sucrose) is made up of glucose & fructose, and I don't think fructose is healthy for us. And its metabolic pathway makes us fat [0] via _de novo lipogenesis_.

Indeed. Those books don't have much fluff. Most of it exists at the intro and outro to chapters. I think it's important to consider how they are meant to be used. More than many other books, the Schemer books come across as a dialog with the reader, not just a block of text to read and incorporate (somehow) into your mind. (Of course, this is deliberate and discussed in the books themselves.)

Things like the "space reserved for jelly stains" are meant as break points for readers. It's not intended (unless you're already advanced to the point the book has little new to tell you) for readers to go straight through. Just like we don't take college course lectures and run through them in a week (16 weeks, 3 hours/week, 48 total hours, approximately).

Doing that would be overwhelming, just like reading one of these books straight through. And it eliminates the time needed to let information and ideas properly integrate into your mind. It's the difference between a cram course and a chance to actually learn.
Fast food burgers are fine if you don’t eat the fries or soda.
Thanks. Noted and we will implement this ASAP.
I did something similar with Stylus a while back. I made it light on dark. I didn't mess with the font sizes (even though, yes, they are too small imo).

It's probably mostly genetics. Stay active and avoid obvious garbage food.
I'm wondering what impact COVID might have on this.

On the one hand, some people have reduced income during the pandemic, so they don't buy less brand-new first-hand stuff.

On the other hand, some people might become more wary of second-hand items as disease vector.
So stripping away legal rights you have.
This is incredibly interesting, but also a bit scary. I was under the impression that a "Tulpa" may not necessarily be friendly and can manifest as a cruel or spiteful entity, depending heavily on the emotional state of the practitioner.
Do all Japanese actually eat that healthy? I can believe it of some of them, but there’s little fruit and many salarymen seem to live on a diet of fried chicken, hard liquor and cigarettes.
Compared to the uncountable amount of "Emacs vs. Vim" discussions? Yes, absolutely.
And when someone talks about getting a vim workflow in emacs they likely only mention a big framework like Spacemacs...
It is difficult: for many people paying for things is a strong status signal, so your friend has to trust you are not being a dick. For a restaurant bill, I might suggest we each pay half an hours wages each (not really fair, but closer). If it is something they couldn’t otherwise afford it makes it easier since then I can pay. For those with spare time, I might suggest I pay for something, and they later do something that takes some small amount of time for me like have a meal at theirs and be sociable (again, avoiding status signalling work, it has to be something with respect on both sides).

Sometimes when I know someone has spent say their weeks disposable income when doing something together, I spend a weeks disposable income on something they need: the price discrepancy means they can’t repay it equally so they have to come up with another mental model. That can only be done nicely to some people (no one wants to feel in debt or obligated).

It is very dependant on each person and each situation, and there is no generic tidy way to deal with the discrepancy.
L2 is already rolling out. They're currently doing progressive rollout starting with synthetix.
What always surprises me is the fear about a company having tools to track you. Yes, there are tools, and yes you can be tracked at your workplace. The bigger question is whether your employer really uses this data to judge your contributions, or there are effective review processes where your work can be evaluated rightfully.
Just reminds me that Clay Shirky forsaw these issues back in 2003 in his writings A Group is its Own Worst Enemy:

> People who work on social software are closer in spirit to economists and political scientists than they are to people making compilers. They both look like programming, but when you're dealing with groups of people as one of your run-time phenomena, that is an incredibly different practice. In the political realm, we would call these kinds of crises a constitutional crisis. It's what happens when the tension between the individual and the group, and the rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups, gets so serious that something has to be done.

Indeed, many of the absolute cerebrals I know today played with these construction type toys when they were young.
In germany it is even illegal to have a doorbell with a (fake or not) camera because of the monitoring of the public space in front of it (like the street) since it gives you the impression you are filmed.
I 100 percent empathise with this thinking pattern.
I grew up in a poor family that struggled to find enough money. My endless fear is being unemployed, struggling to find a job, and sliding back to that dark place 15 years ago. Some would call that motivation for working harder, I still feel it as fear, and as a result, I do everything I can to acquire the resources to save me from that ever happening.

Great thoughts on alternative places to live as well.
Xcode with Swift is a bit odd in that its performance varies greatly depending on project structure and as nonintuitive as it may be, the way the developer writes code.

For instance a sprawling project with an even split of Objective-C and Swift that constantly call into each other can bring SourceKit to its knees, as can some CocoaPods setups. Going Swift-only or even just reducing the surface between Objective-C and Swift to the absolute bare minimum can speed things up a lot.

As for writing style, there's a few things that can trip SourceKit up but I've found that the main things to avoid are chaining optionals too deeply and nesting closures too deeply (recommend keeping both to 2-3 tops) as well as casting to/from Any too often.
>Also, if you push hard enough to "fix" the situation, guess what? YOU become the problem.

Ugh, where was this advice when I needed it years ago. At a company that championed self-improvement, unless you suggested the company improve... queue made up reason to let you go. Doorknob bruise on the back.
Why Do We Keep Reading the Great Gatsby?
My friend and I (both females) one the CEO of a tech company and me a Staff Engineer, have talked about how to do HR right and we came up with an idea but havnt done anything with it.

Since HR is clearly biased towards the companies and this has proven to cause a lot of problems, they will never side with you over the company if the company is indeed wrong.

HR should ideally be an independent third party and all issues treated the same way a legal audit would. An org comes in promises to keep things confidential. Objectively assesses the situation, inquires for more info (emails, convos etc) and determines the outcome. If someone needs to be fired and it's a male superior, then so be it.

HR is never going to tell their boss that they should be fired for mistreating another employee for example, if they do not also want to lose their jobs.

In reality it makes sense to have an internal HR for all things like hiring recruiting etc etc etc but when it comes to managing deteriorated relationships between employees it will never be done right unless an independent third party comes into asses.
That's all true, but misses the point. HR is presented to employees differently than those groups (e.g. they're the people you're supposed to go to for help when you see a wrong happen). In some cases, their actions may even make it seem like they're on your side, but they really aren't.
Would staking resolve that?

> Your only point I disagree with is backups: there is simply no way for a non-for-profit company that doesn't monetize user data to afford providing cloud backups.

I would actually prefer local backups. I can always upload them to the cloud myself, and then I pay :-)

> P.S. "New" groups in Signal support up to 1,000 users, did you need something bigger?

OK, this might come off as moving the goal posts, so let me say why it is not intended to[1]: Signal is very usable for what it is intended for. 1000 is enough for my family in law and even my family.

I'm fairly certain I read at least one other messenger has a limit of 200 000 members in one group, moderation tools, channels with channel publishers, subscribers and comments.

And my point is not that it is better than Signal but that they are different!

If I need to send pass codes or something I can use Signal. If I need to receive broadcasts from one of the channels I follow I can use Telegram etc.

I have 32GB (or even 64GB?) of storage on my phone so I never had to choose :-)

[1]: That is, it is not moving my goal posts. My hope was never that Signal should replace everything else.
The context switch cost is still reasonably high. However, since you're in "idle/wait" status, you can as well use that to perform such a costly context switch and cleanup some. If you however e.g. had to stir something every minute or more, then the context switch would be too expensive, even tho you're still "idle/wait" most of the time.

I start cleaning/tidying up myself when cooking, but only "easy to clean" stuff, because more than once I have been burned by focusing too long on cleaning something more difficult to clean (or rather my food was burned a little).

It wouldn't matter for the anti-trust lawsuit, since they're alleging that Amazon conspired with Twitter to kick off Parler because Parler would steal Twitter's market share. (Well, trying to allege, because they don't even manage to allege that any further than "Amazon hosts Twitter" and implying there's no other reason Amazon would kick Parler off, despite spending half the brief complaining that they're being kicked off for being conservative.)

I think the relationships in a corporate environment aren't conducive to bringing out the best in people. If you work in one, the best you can hope for is for your team to be left alone and managed by earnest and diligent engineers that have earned the trust of PMs and POs.

I don't really think many people tie things back to the candidate's current workplace. It just means "Did they seem like a toxic asshole?" at its best and "Did they seem like your sort of person?" when it's worse.
> An interesting contrast will be New Zealand. Since they have community elimination they didn't seek emergency use authorisation, why not wait and study what happens to the millions of people from other developed countries who needed urgent vaccination?

Keeping it out is proving to be quite hard, an exception for quarantine workers, flight crew, returning citizens and anyone connected to them would make it much easier.

It seems like the world is already learning though and countries that have eliminated the virus may find vaccinating the extremely frail to be a net negative and rely on herd immunity to protect this group.
While I don't think there's any legal penalty for violators, at the time of the birthday party the California Department of Public Health prohibited gatherings of 3 or more households: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/CDP...

Newsom also relaxed his original "science based" thresholds for shutting down dining, which helped keep Napa County restaurants and wineries (including the one which he still partially owns) open.

When asking people not to celebrate birthdays with their friends or to send their kids to school in person, it sets a bad example when you do those things. It also probably doesn't help your job effectiveness when you're forced to do 14 day quarantines multiple times due to nonessential COVID exposure (I think his kid's classmates have gotten it a few times)
Not scared of that at all. I think what you're looking for is a synonym. The "alt-" part of alt-right might be the doublespeak -- paleoconservatism genuinely resists the mainstream attempt to remove white supremacy from conservative platforms.
The left's synonym is "deplorables", corresponding to approximately 25% of the American electorate -- not a small group at all.
An effort to "remove all freedom and privacy" is hyperbolic, with only a few examples notorious in 20th century history. Are you expecting Parlor to enact a real-name-only policy?

If you had told me prior to 1986 that Russian workers in a nuclear plant would do "what could possibly go wrong" experiments without chain-of-command permission, I'd have told you how naive that was. How could people do something so insane, in a command-economy with strong rigid line-of-command issues?

If you had told me scientists in the US would be able to send anthrax in the mail to members of the government, because they were pissed off with things, I'd have said "but that would never happen" -Except, it did kind of happen. Anthrax leaked out because somebody with access to secured disease facilities in the US, decided to do something. Something reprehensible, but they did.

So if you tell me its theoretically possible a gain-of-function experiment happened, And that all this behaviour from the Chinese government was after-the-fact fears about uncommanded, unacceptable risky behaviour in a lab, I maybe should be open to saying "ok: it is certainly possible people do bat shit crazy (hah) things"

I don't actually think a GOF experiment is at the root of this problem. I think its zoonotic, not manufactured, and I think seeking to write the lab into spread of a zoonotic disease is seeking to make political capital because of anti CCP feeling or trade wars.

Like diseases spread because farming and food practices are high risk for disease transmission. its sort-of Occams razor to say "it just happened" because we have good evidence it does just happen. Demanding this be seen as a smoking gun of human mediated lab-experimentation, I think is silly.

I would be asking Virologists and Geneticists: Does a Gain of Function experiment leave fingerprints in the DNA and RNA that we can track down?
Again, keeping with the theme of every single time I hear of some example of conservative censorship, I dig in and find it's 99% BS: https://reason.com/2021/01/11/ron-paul-says-hes-been-locked-... .

Ron Paul's page was never banned, blocked or censored in any way for people viewing his content. Admin rights on his page were mistakenly blocked, and reopened a few hours later. I in know way see that targeting the right, especially since I hear plenty of bitching from people on the left who also think it's some sort of conspiracy whenever they get blocked (e.g. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/04/24/facebook-whil... )
Not killing off the bacteria in soil that produce B12 would also help reduce B12 deficiency, a condition that is also common among meat eaters in the US.
I haven't seen anything exactly like your suggestion, but every company I've worked for (from 400 to 40,000 people) had an internal mentoring program that would set up early-career people with more senior people. I've never heard anyone say they tried it and found it useful. Every company I've worked for also practiced a culture of discreet secrecy around every topic a mentee could conceivably want to know about: compensation, performance evaluations, where you, your boss, and your team stand within the company, etc.

It's sad, but gossip is ever-present at companies because it is the best and most informative kind of mentorship. Far from accurate or reliable, but still the best among a field of bad candidates.
It's not fear. It's disgust.
I do not think so. Not a law expert, but beyond emotional damage (which is not a thing in Germany) there is nothing the employee need to be compensated for.

It is a crime and the state fines the company for breaching the law.

The reason is that they're running their social media site using Wordpress (of all things, why?!?!?!), so it's probable that it will scale horrendously. The data breach happend with Parler was allegedly due to an exploit in one of the Wordpress plugins.
> I'm interested what dishes you're specifically talking about here? Japanese cooking is not complicated, just different.

That isn't necessarily true, Japanese cuisine (along with Italian which are my two cuisines I cooked professionally) actually relies more on elaboration and skill of seemingly humble ingredients: more than just about any other cuisine in my experience. It's a great equalizer to have something seen as exotic as truffle shaved on a soufflé be outshined by a long way by a Chawanmushi with a proper dashi, seasonal (cheap) vegetables, herbs and seafood.

Sure you can make staples like maze gohan, tamago gohan, takikomi gohan or ocha zuke with whatever you have on hand and rift where needed to keep it from being boring but each and everyone of those dishes that is carefully created and balanced makes it so much more satisfying and I find that to be the trick to Japanese cuisine as it makes you re-evaluate your perceptions/positions, and thus the execution of what is really important in a recipe as a result: I dislike eating in the morning, like really hate it, but I really loved having onsen tamago over slightly seasoned uruchimai rice and some handmade zukemono and miso (with proper dashi) for breakfast. The extra I could just eat as onigiri with toasted nori later in the day with a miso shiro and it was that good and never something I never get tired of despite being prone to 'palate fatigue.'

And all of that is because the elaboration and prep that went into making things that use affordable ingredients but require a great deal of attention to detail--for example a bitter salty dashi, or worst yet that hondashi powder, is repulsive and indicative of improper heat monitoring and regulation with the katsubushi/niboshi. A hastently made zukemono is very disappointing when eating teishoku as you want the sourness and saltiness and crunch to refresh your palate as you go back and forth between dishes. Not having that ruins the meal entirely.
And the reason we have that data in such a short period of time is horrifying for exactly the expected reason.

You are obliged to conduct a natural experiment. We do this thing (vaccination) we expect will work, on some fraction of a test population, and then we wait. Some other tricks could work, in theory but they're often unethical and unlike this experiment they aren't a direct model of the real world. "Does it actually work?" is an incontrovertible test.

But it should take years to do this, because obviously hardly anybody is going to get some horrible deadly infectious disease right?

Unless, as happened in most of the world, you have exponential pandemic case growth as measures to prevent spread are half-arsed or just not implemented at all.

Then it turns out - good news - that's a great environment for proving your vaccine works quickly. Shame about all the dead people though.
Why, outright paying for products and services is pretty capitalistic! Works well in many cases.
It's unfortunate that they haven't tested like this until almost a decade into the program. Testing so rarely makes it way too high stakes.

While gp is using slightly emotive language, they didn't at any point say that the feudal structure was bad. A feudal structure is pretty effective in a localised setting where most people know most other people and everyone is happy-enough with the person at the pinacle of the status tree.

The major downsides of old-school feudalism were (1) Doesn't really scale to populations of 200k+ and (2) the We Cannot Get Out problem.

Corporate structure solves both those problems pretty neatly.
This reminds me of how the Israeli military supposedly works. Top level goals and being flexible and creative at the operational level.

See https://www.jstor.org/stable/4531385?seq=1

In my opinion, the US’s top level goals were wrong (over focus on equity versus utility) and the US bureaucracy is neither flexible nor creative as evidenced by its refusal to buck top level orders and it’s continuing slowness. These are signs of a decaying system.
