Thanks for the answer. Indeed, the fact that he was working only off of his own data felt like a red flag to me.

An interesting thing to follow would be if there are other people who went into the field to work with the Pirahã; and if not, why not, given the extraordinary nature of the claims?

edit:

A bit more insight here: https://news.mit.edu/2016/data-amazonian-piraha-language-deb...

> In the other two cases, Everett’s translations of the sentences differ from those of Sheldon. Everett believes there is no conjunction in those sentences, although Sheldon’s original translations suggested there was.

For instance, a Pirahã sentence transliterated as “ti xaigia ao ogi gio ai hi ahapita” was interpreted by Sheldon to mean, “Well, then I and the big Brazilian woman disappeared.” The conjunction of “I and the big Brazilian woman” could be an example of recursion. But Everett believes a better translation is: “Well, [with respect to me], the very big foreigner went away again.” And that sentence has no recursion.

[...]

> a graduate student at the University of British Columbia, Raiane Salles, has conducted recent fieldwork among the Pirahã unearthing potential evidence of “possessor recursion” — which creates phrases that could expand infinitely, such as “the foreigner’s parent’s dog” and “Migixoi’s husband’s mother’s clothes.”

So it seems there are already some signs of possible recursion in the language. On top of this, there's always the possibility that the Pirahã can understand recursion, but they just don't use it in their language. In the end this would be the more important thing to establish - do these people have a different mental apparatus from the rest of mankind? or do they just make use of the same thing differently...

Imho, statically typed languages are the ones that benefit most from schema. The current schema version is 12 but the implementations for Go, Rust, C++ and Java are all listed as draft 7. None of them support codegen either, just validation, so not exactly compelling.

Banks, perhaps the most abusive when it comes to hidden fees, are forced to publish the APR (annual percentage rate inclusive of all fees) of mortgage loans. This not only eliminates the bait and switch, but also enables consumers to make apples to apples comparisons when choosing between competing lenders.

It's not HN, it's everywhere. The housing as an investment mantra doesn't help. Yes, house prices are going up but for all we know it's a bubble right now. If CPI inflation does pick up in the future it may turn out to be correct. It would be helpful if people actually did the right thing and built more housing, though.

Economists are in broad agreement because they're paid to be. This is well-documented historically.

The Mont Pelerin Society was specifically founded to promote a certain view of economics, and the Chicago School was supported financially by some very rich sponsors who wanted a a pet academic alternative to progressive slant of Keynesianism.

The "consensus" in neoliberal economics and its core ideas - including "rationality" and "efficiency" - is a wholly manufactured political project, not an organic open-minded attempt to find credible scientific foundations.

My personal experience is obviously limited - I'm using Staloral drops, they're very popular in Europe. Also, they seem to be very effective[0]:

"sublingual immunotherapy was able to reduce the mean number of asthma attacks per year from 8.2 ± 3.05 before treatment to 0.44 ± 0.79 after 3 years, ie, the recommended duration of sublingual immunotherapy; complete clinical remission was recorded in 95% of patients with asthma and in 82% of patients with rhinitis"

However, my doctor told me that what happens after 3-5 years after you stopped taking it is uncertain and often the therapy is repeated. The studies I saw about it are fairly recent so I guess researchers themselves might not be 100% sure about the long-term effectivity.

Not going to lie but that 2nd reference is terrible. It’s a meta-analysis and a bunch of the odds ratios overlap with 1 (no effect).

I’m not saying endocrine disruptors are harmless, but multiple things need to be proven before you can make any conclusions:

1. A specific endocrine disruptor has a negative biological effect.

2. That specific disruptor is found in common items.

3. That specific disruptor can be leeched out of that item through normal use.

4. The amount leeched out actually gets into the body.

5. The amount that gets into the body is at a high enough level to cause a toxic effect.

> Identification as trans or other non-binary status is incredibly high among the gen-z cohort.

The highest study estimate I've seen is 3%, almost all others are between 0.7% and 1%, with even boomers around 0.5%. (For Gen-Z kids, parental belief that children are trans or have non-binary identity is many times higher, though, but that's clearly more about social priming than “hormonal poisoning”.)

To the extent there is an increase at all, it's probably increased awareness of the concept providing a framework to fit into than any “hormonal poisoning”.

I don't understand why you think that I would write off anyone as 'stuck in the dark ages'.

So I guess that might be misunderstanding my argument. I'm not demanding any actions, my point is not that everyone but me is doing to little and that we should do more to save the environment and our planet. That's a good argument (well, except for the 'everyone but me' part) but not the one I'm making.

My argument - or rather; the conclusion - that I've come to - is that we are mentally unable to accept the dire consequences of our current situation. It's not even that we don't /want/ to fix things, it's that most of the people cannot accept the fact of the situation we're in, because the of the absolutely devastating consequences we are facing, namely extinction.

We are unable to accept that. It's too big. It's too grandiose, too preposterous. We cannot imagine this happening. And so we deny it, continue with the lives we've grown accustomed to, with the pleasures we enjoy and the dangers we know. And because everyone around us continues the charade and we feel comforted in our not-quite-conscious decision to ignore the situation and continue as before.

I expect that this is to a large part the fate of any species "finding the ultimate exploits" in the game of life. That also answers the questions of; why isn't there anybody out there: any species evolved in the context of competition for resources is unable to handle the transition to a steady-state and after a brief and glorious period of unchecked growth collapses into itself.

We are - after all - reproduction machines.
Haha, what a joker.
Well, getting rid of them is one step too much, but yes, if you have fewer humans each human will be wealthier [0] and this does mean continuing to eat meat.

Possibly, but they're only asking for $60, and I figured it would take me a while to learn the package + parse all the data from the various tables and sections (it was rather heterogeneous data across the site) + if this site happened to use anti scraping measures that could mean it takes longer. They've probably done this same thing 30 times (it was their main offering on Fiverr) and can copy and paste a previous project.

So it made time/financial sense to hire them, especially since I don't need this skill for later

Soybeans have a high protein yield, hence why they're grown for feed. The plant fixates nitrogen as alluded to above. Soy is a complete protein, albeit with an amino acid profile that is not quite as similar to human muscle tissue as some meat.

It is a miracle plant! Soybeans are easy to prepare and taste fantastic, and can form the core of a healthy diet.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat, the problem is in over consumption of meat, unsustainable agriculture to feed animals and the bad treatment of animals.

Restricting yourself to expensive, high quality meat is a perfectly fair way of sustaining yourself and making sure the environment doesn't suffer too much.

If everyone only ate as much meat as they needed things wouldn't be so out of whack.
I agree but we're talking about a pretty quick and dirty personal project here where quality, maintainability etc aren't important, and I vaguely knew that the Selenium package could do what I wanted in this language.

We need to drastically reduce meat consumption by producing viable artificial replacements (artificially grown muscle meat) as soon as possible.

We need to stop eating meat on this scale but you will never be able to convince more than a subset of people. You have to take it away or replace it with something of equal (!) quality.

It's insane how damaging (and evil) beef production is.

Disclaimer: I eat quite a lot of meat but since earning good money after university have made an effort to buy better quality organic meat whenever possible. I replace some meats entirely with vegan alternatives because in some instances it makes NO difference in taste or even texture.

I would not eat a vegan burger, never bbq a vegan steak. But chili or spaghetti bolognese with vegan ground meat can be really delicious since flavors and texture are overpowered by other ingredients anyways. Same with lots of sandwich meats.

Meat is WAY too cheap for what it is: a climate damaging product for which live animals are brutally tortured and killed. If you have money, please at least buy meat which has animal well-being in mind.

My mind on this was changed after witnessing a botched slaughtering of a pig. I can never get those screams and blood fountains out of my mind. The electrical stunning failed and workers didnt bother to repeat it because... time. Gotta keep producing.
I benefit greatly from schema validation in Ruby, ensuring that ingress-processing code does not receive e.g a String or Hash instead of an Array which would have things blow up way after the ingress edge when a call to an Array method fails, or worse, produce silently broken behaviour that may or may not blow up even farther down the road because both String and Hash respond to e.g #[](Integer).
Perfect summary.

I have the impression something is making the numbers not comparable: we humans eat soy beans but the rest of the plant is fed to animals. So I don't see how we can conclude anything about surface (deforestation). Maybe soy demand is driven by beans, and we're left with the rest of the plant which we feed to animals. But if we don't feed animals with the rest of the plant, what are we going to make with it?

That is hardly a coincidence. Our perceived color space is vaguely triangular because we have vaguely three types of cone cells to detect color.
