I'd seriously recommend having a read through the author's blog in general - I've fallen down that rabbit hole tonight and have been really enjoying his discussions about the Lucid dataflow language and implementations thereof.
Work isn’t life anymore. That’s where the serfdom analogy breaks down.

I am utterly subservient to those to whom I report. I obediently tug my forelock to HR all the way from 8am to 4:30pm but at that point I turn off my company devices and am my own person.

If you draw a $200k salary and work until bed-time in a shared flat with no garden then I suppose it’s a different story — one of the chattel post-grad SWE — but at least you have $300 a day on which to live.
> and its easy. dont eat too much.

No, it's not easy. It's extremely hard for most people, that is the whole point of the article.

> we didnt evolve to where we are by eating three square meals a day. we ate little and often starved in between while hunting and foraging.

Yes, and that is exactly the reason why we evolved to eat as much as we can when there is lots of food available, so we'll survive the starvation when there isn't.

Our evolutionary programming compels us (via hormones) to be obese.

> never has there been an obese caveman.

Absolutely wrong: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22001136/
Yes, true, but how to explain that to you manager?
Well, I am far from a food snob but even for me, what you can often buy as baby food is bland and has some weird mix of ingredients (ie some are too oily, some have weird aftertaste). I am talking about french and swiss rather premium products, so not some supercheap crap for 3rd world countries done by likes of Nestle/Kraft.

When you cook it yourself even with very little salt and reasonable spices for a baby, the result is so much better. We can see how much our little one enjoys cooked stuff vs bought ones, so we stopped quickly with those. It takes some time, but covid is actually helping with this particular thing right now. Thank god our kindergarden has proper chef who actually cooks and not just reheats frozen stuff from cheap retailers.

Its a bit sad that even in 2021 we can't really manufacture en masse reasonably processed food that contains just the food ingredients and tastes at least reasonably.
Um. What? Is this the new "the earth is flat"?

Space is infinite. I believe it goes on forever in every direction. Whether you can see whatever is out there from here in no way proves that it isn't...
Come on, this is counterfactual hyperbole. In actual feudalism, if you disagreed with the king he could arbitrarily kill you or jail you.

Sure, corporations are lame and if you work for one you're a cog in a machine, I agree it can suck. But it's crazy to suggest that this somehow invalidates democracy.

The first job of a functioning government is to establish a monopoly on violence and prevent it from being used against the people. Sure there are times when modern democratic governments fail at this but they do a pretty good job of making sure that Jeff Bezos can't literally murder his lowly serfs when they get out of line. He can take their jobs but he can't take their lives and that's a far cry from how things worked in the Inquisition.

When you make spurious claims like implying that we don't live in a democracy, you're dishonouring the millions of people throughout history who wrested power away from the kings and warlords of the past, bit by bit, and built a system which at least places a few limits on its most powerful members.
And to me, it's the exact opposite.
I can't code while listening to well known music with lyrics but I enjoy listening to some electronic house music while coding. Music I usually don't listen to.
Serfs were literally bound to the land. They could be bought sold and conveyed and were not allowed to leave.

Say what you will about companies and inequality or lack of representation; that may have merit, but you can quit with two weeks notice. Serfs were not afforded those rights.
Define the NAP, please. Put it in no uncertain terms.

It always boils down to "doing something I agree with", defining any perceived violation of ultimate personal freedom as aggression, leading to any retaliation to be "justified" as self defense, which is utterly morally bereft.

The pure and simple truth is that a society based solely on voluntary interaction is no society at all. Along with the benefits of being part of a society, there will always be obligations. You can act as if that doesn't apply to you, but someone always has to pick up the bill or do the work and you can't count on there always being a volunteer.

Libertarianism is a pie-in-the-sky utopian thought experiment ideology.
It's important to realize that saying it's not a "calorie problem" is not the same as saying "it has nothing to do with calories".

It's saying it's the wrong place to try to find a leverage point for defeating it.

What Taubes is claiming is that talking about calories to someone who is obese doesn't help them. Like Nicholson's character says in "As Good As It Gets", it's like describing the water to someone who is drowning: it's information that is true, but doesn't solve their problem.
Hello, after further research and contacting an academic source about this, I believe I made a mistake in making a definitive statement about the gallows- it was pointed out to me that gallows as a protest symbol are not tied to any specific group, and I was given enough examples of their use in other protests that it cannot be definitely stated as the original commenter mentioned.

I've updated my writing to clarify it as an opinion, and I'm taking a step back to improve my research and tone of writing. The truth is I have never written anything for the Internet before and the constructive criticism of HN users has helped me tremendously. I want to make neutral statements/analysis of facts and rarely if ever provide my personal opinion.

Thank you both for taking the time to provide your feedback.
My interest is sufficiently piqued but I respect your decision. You've clearly been around for a while and controversial or not, the discourse from differing viewpoints creates progress.

I understand how you feel though. Doing the same thing over and over but getting the same result is the very definition of insanity.
Yes, but do your peers a favor and wait until there is no shortage.

My understanding is that there isn’t much point theorizing about the “outside” universe beyond the horizon of our light cone, because there is no present or future interaction possible between it and us.
Cynical but sadly true.
Stop being obtuse.
I guess this is one of the few times its beneficial to work for a German-based company with a strong workers council. Even though I'm in the US and work for the US-legal entity, because IT is managed in Germany they refuse to allow local management to access any worker tracking. Even SLAs cannot be attached to individual users, only to departments.
The amount of intellectual acrobatics that occurs in this area is troubling.

Poor diet due to financial and educational restriction will affect gut bacteria and other things that contribute to appetite. This can be difficult to shift in later life, but is not impossible thanks to healthy alternatives.

Lack of consistent rigorous exercise will ensure that you stay fat regardless. Calories in vs calories out makes the difference.
That’s not known. This article refers to the observable universe which is bound by the speed of light.

Whether the universe is infinite or not is an open question. It might be finite but unbounded. Spacetime geometry is complicated.
Thus it is only an attractive ideology for those without a conscience or empathy.
This is precisely the sort of water muddying via association
Anyone can have a voice in the outcome of their life and society around them. When you give up on this belief, you relinquish power and control to others. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Stop focusing on the power of others, and obtain your own power and influence, and then govern with empathy for others.
Taubes’ argument is that what you said is a tautology. Losing weight is synonymous with consuming fewer calories than you burn.

The question is what causes you to consume less than you burn?
We have no proof Universe is infinite, but we can also argue that the building blocks of Universe - atoms? - cannot come in unlimited quantity. At least it sounds more reasonable that way. Unless of course we are all in a symultation and our whole Universe takes up half a sq. inch of a silicone chip.
I bought a mannequin head as a "rubber ducky" to talk to. Its eyeless stare discouraged me from sharing my thoughts, let alone my sleep.

Perhaps the form of an imaginary friend plays a significant role in coping with loneliness.
IMO you can have your cake and eat it too - just offer a fallback of some sort, it's good SEO anyway. I haven't done anything in react but it's my understanding that this is actually possible to do, have react deliver an initial pre-rendered page and then still have your fancy SPA on top of it
My main response to this article is essentially the same question. I think the article is presuming some things to come to this conclusion.

The main thing that is being presumed is the "big bang". If you proscribe to believing in the big bang, then the entirety of everything we see is an expansion from a single dense explosion of matter.

It is still a valid theory but I myself don't understand the physics of what is observed well enough to be convinced this is true. I believe that they are seeing something similar enough that it could be perhaps a "localized bang" or something like that.

The main evidence used as "proof" of the big bang is the observed data seeming to show that the everything in the universe is "dispersing" slowly. That is at least what I've heard claimed.
Not if you have majority share control - then everyone can toss right off.
There’s good reason to theorize about it. Theories might be able to point to or estimate the size even if we can’t directly measure it. For instance if we find evidence of inflation in more fundamental physical processes, we can assume there’s more universe out there than we can see.
Where do you think that comes from? The modern CCP leverages market economies to build that wealth. That success is because Xi recognizes the power for capitalism and growth to create wealth. They then try to control that though and the recent disappearance of Jack Ma and the government block of that IPO is more what I'm talking about.

The cultural revolution, hundred flowers campaign, and current Uyghur genocide are some of the classic negative aspects of CCP control. Those aspects are more the standard fare communist policy.

The good that's there comes from their embrace of capitalism and market incentives. The bad comes from the standard communist one party control, it's also what eventually leads to problems.
Ethereum is producing insane value.

For example, Uniswap is a decentralized exchange living on top of Ethereum that frequently has volume higher than Coinbase. A couple years ago that was the "end vision". Now it's an everyday reality.

Loans, mutual fund like assets, lending etc. The ecosystem is booming.

Ethereum is absolutely fulfilling it's mission.

This is the specific sort of muddying via association that's often used. Suddenly, trump is a literal swastika flashing nazi, and that's why twitter banned him.

Does this mean there is "more" dark energy since we still have all the effects of extra matter but less visible matter?
If you take something out of context, you can imply any meaning you want. Consider reading the actual article instead.

> The point is not that overweight people somehow gain more fat from the same caloric input.

That is 100% false.

This illustrates your, and others, total misunderstanding of metabolism.

Everybody agrees on caloric input. What is poorly understood is what the output is, in terms of what becomes energy, what is stored, and what is excreted.

The output side greatly depend on hormones (esp. insulin), existing fat cells, gut flora, psychology and other factors.

The best example is that without insulin, you will starve, regardless of what your caloric input is. In fact, you will lose about 1 pound per day until you go into a coma and die.

But if I wanted to point to one thing that is killing Americans, it's corn syrup (HFCS), which is used as a cheap (subsidized by US govt.) feedstock in many foods today. Group photos pre-HFCS show zero obese people. Our real pandemic is HFCS, affecting all Americans, not corona which only kills 1/1,000.
I think this is the most succinct way to put this out of the (currently) five replies.
I wanted to add something to this from recent personal experience.

I've worked with a few engineers recently who were keen - occasionally insistent - on coming up with an O(n log n) solution, or better, at design stages for a specific project. We were working on different parts of the platform (and in different dev environments) but essentially implementing the same thing.

For the implementation I tried to talk them into going with a simpler implementation that was O(n²) for the initial release, but they were adamant not to.

When it came to writing automated tests for the feature, I became aware of some edge cases that hadn't been considered during the design stages. We had another design meeting, updated the requirements, yadda yadda.

A day or so later I put the changes in for review and had them merged reasonably quickly. I later found out that the other group had to significantly rewrite their algorithm and write new tests from scratch, ultimately leading them to miss out on launching the feature at the same time as ours had been released.

The moral of the story? A good programmer knows _what_ the best algorithm is, but a good engineer knows _when_ a given algorithm is called for. Premature optimisation is, after all, the root of all evil.

I've since updated my version to coincide with their more performant version and rewritten a lot of my tests.
This is my point. We have no evidence either way, so it seems strange to me to blindly claim "this is everything".
The number of calories are largely irrelevant. The hormones direct what is done with those calories. Is it used or stored. The body has multiple ways of burning more or less energy.

Stating that this isn't a problem if thermodynamics isn't saying thermodynamics isn't real. It is just saying that it doesn't apply in this problem, i.e. it is an irrelevant factor.

It is similar to saying speed isn't the reason you are late to work today. There was an accident and the freeway was locked up. Speed is still real. It just doesn't explain anything.
You were not 100% trapped, by collapsing the propositions of an argument you destroy a meaningful distinction. It is very different to be a serf in fact and a serf in practice. Serf's were legally defined as property and could be bought and sold with land and killed if they failed to work according to the Lords liking. No company can compel you to work on threat of death. Does employer linked insurance suck and have negative, unintended consequences, yes, but you can quit with two weeks notice and find another job with health insurance. The distinction does matter.
His answer to "what do we know so far?" is that "the most impressive research" was an experiment with no control, conducted by a start-up, which then published the results on their company blog. OK, next.
Right.

But there could easily be hundreds or thousands of technological civilizations in the Milky Way, which has a diameter of over 100,000 light years. We wouldn't necessarily have spotted any of them yet, depending on how far away they are, when they exist(ed), what their tech level and orientation is, what's important to them, etc.

The other argument people tend to pile on to try to claim that we should have seen something is the idea of expansion via colonization, or civilizations using enormous resources to broadcast messages, but all of these have there own huge set of problems.

People try very hard to fill gaps in their knowledge even when it's not really possible to do so.
I really believe they should teach basic electronic repair in school. A tiny bit goes a long way.

Yea, learning some basic electronics and how solder in school (England, early-mid 90s) was one of the most useful skills they taught me.
It would've been the right thing for her to tell you. But unfortunately, if she tells the wrong person she could get called out for fatshaming on social media and probably lose her career nowadays. It's the rational choice to not offend anyone's feelings, when those feelings can be used to crush you and your livelihood.
Neither the title nor the summary say anything about the "observable universe". They make broad claims beyond that. The detail of the article in no way mentions that there could very well be infinite duplicates of what we see out there beyond observable distance.
I've found that the new SPAified paypal is also unbelievably sluggish. I'm sure this is because they're doing something dumb rather than some intrinsic quality to SPAs, but SPAs sure do make it easy to do something dumb without noticing. especially if you're developing in 0-latency environments
What does any of that have to do with supporting the WebExtension open specification?

It sounds like, to me, I can't ship a WebExtension for Safari because I don't own a Mac. Is that right?

Does that sound right to you?
There’s also something to be said about the proper knife motion.

A knife is not a saw. One should try to cut down and forward, away from you. And you should slightly protrude your knuckles out so that your knife is away from your fingers as it is against your knuckles.
Thank you for this valuable feedback. I have added a disclaimer as I believe I have not answered the questions you listed well enough, and I need to ensure whatever statements I make can be reproduced by others.

The truth is I have never written anything for the Internet before and was never expecting this level of attention. I'm taking a step back from writing to ensure that whatever work I put out there can be reproduced/verified/criticized by others (ideally by more experienced/knowledgeable data scientists) and that uses the complete scraped archive of Parler, however long the wait for that may be. I will also be reworking the visuals to use a non-proprietary language.

Lastly, I believe one point you mentioned about explicitly calling for violence is important - even someone who talks about hanging a politician may have simply reiterated a hashtag they saw elsewhere, without explicitly stating their own malicious intent. I am now using AWS Comprehend and plan to share this data in a more engaging way.

Thank you again for taking the time to help me think critically about this.
Then keep working until you are in that position. When you are 1 years old you can't walk, you keep working, when you are 12 you can't drive, you keep working, when you are 22 you probably can't retire of self earned assets, you keep working. Set a goal and work until you get there.
Exactly: large cities a few hundred km away. This is the typical landscape of much of Japan, much of China, especially coastal, much of Europe.

It's not much of North America, though, except a few coastal agglomerations. North America is quite sparsely populated — maybe not as sparsely as Siberia or Sahara, but not near European levels, to say nothing of Japan or south of China, so high-speed rail makes relatively little sense here.
I'm being heavily downvoted in my other comments, but I don't agree.

Today we have more people starting more billion dollar companies more easily than any other time in human history. We have more freedom of movement, more wealth, etc.

There's a staggering amount of growth, a staggering amount of capital investment.

No system is its perfect ideal (and there are obvious issues today), but things are a lot better than they were in the age of a handful of national companies.
Haha... indeed. I meant specifically from the perspective that you were in a situation where leaving your job meant you were now uninsurable (in many states, at least). I have an entirely separate rant on how the ACA stuck people with higher deductible health plans outside of employers (like me and my family) with virtually all of the risk of the formerly uninsurable. It was more politically expedient for the Democratic Congress of ‘09 to not really try to fix the problem.
The feudal analogy still works. The difference is that the Black Death has swept the place, and you are now the only pawn left on the field, and suddenly you are in a negotiating position with your local lord. Which is actually something that happened during the Black Death.
You could have a look at something like Geb - this is a completely random class I picked:

https://github.com/geb/geb/blob/master/module/geb-core/src/m...

So it looks mostly like Java, its just making use of Groovy's niceties and more powerful constructs in various parts to make the coding nicer.
By my calculations, this is somewhere between 11,680 and 18,560 vCPUs and 83,840 to 122,880 GB of RAM they're asking for.

- Does everyone have internal monologue? Google results aren’t clear about this, it seems everyone does but at varying degrees.

- I’m personally overriding mine with podcasts, because my thoughts are extremely dark. The only place where I can channel my thoughts positively is when interacting with people and at work, since I have tasks to do. Better not let that mind wander ;) (I’m joking but many people know how much past experiences can haunt — I miss when I was 15 and able to dream about an imaginary world where we’d invent AI and how we’d organize society about it).
A 3rd party HR department is still being paid by the company...

If you want something 3rd party that can be impartial ("sometimes", in quotes) and sit on a table with both company and employee, that's unions.
Wait does the carnivore diet actually work? I remember Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson discussing this diet, and Peterson was widely ridiculed for it (example https://www.theguardian.com/food/2018/sep/10/my-carnivore-di...). Has the consensus on it changed?
Good to hear, and thanks for your work on this!
Because this is an article that’s using the layman terminology. The scientists involved surely understand the difference. In fact read the Wikipedia article and you’ll see the old estimate of 2 trillion for the observable universe.
