Another leader in the diet realm is Sean baker, a surgeon, who runs meatrx.com. That website contains a large repository of video testimony from people who have done the carnivore diet. There are hundreds and hundreds of them, each one making eyebrow raising claims. They include remission of asthma, arthritis, MS, anxiety, depression, chronic skin rash, brain fog and many many more things. That repository will convert literally anyone to a carnivore believer. There is even one guy who measured his CAC before and after, and his CAC was significantly lower after. This not only goes against the prediction of mainstream medicine, it is something that is thought to be impossible under any circumstances whatsoever. Carnivore is insanely OP. People get ripped, shredded without ever going to the gym. They become slim and metabolically healthy. Men’s testosterone go up. Couples that have been trying to get pregnant for years are able to get pregnant. I’ve watched hundreds of those videos and it’s case closed in my mind. It’s the healthiest diet we know of.

That being said, it sucks. I tried it and I couldn’t do it. Not eating any of the foods you like fucking sucks. And the adjustment period is brutal, with nausea and watery stools. Electrolytes are a constant problem. Once you get past the one month mark it’s supposed to level out, but I’ve never been tough enough to last a month.

But paying for a service connects your real world credit profile to this transaction. I feel privacy is already broken with the credit card companies selling this information.

> there is Keith Devlin involved.... I am sure he enjoys it a lot to be in a position where he can write pedantic falsehoods while at the same time being taken seriously

I don't think his argument (or the similar argument being made in the subject article of this thread) for not teaching students that multiplication is repeated addition is a "pedantic falsehood". I think he has a valid point: that there are downsides to teaching students one thing, and then later coming back and saying "well, that thing you were taught before isn't actually correct...", and that a different approach is possible. One can argue about the pros and cons of each approach, but I don't think it is helpful to just dismiss one side of the argument as "pedantic falsehoods".
That can only happen with naked shorting, which is (illegal and) not implied by >100% short interest.

Some of the short sales refer to the same shares; say there's one share in the company and it's (borrowed and) sold short thrice. The company's one share has been sold three times, but there haven't been sales of more shares than there are in the company - the three (short) sellers need to get that (same) one share back to close their position in sequence.

I think what the author is missing is the word "scalar". I do understand the sentiment that in general multiplication is not repeated addition. But multiplication with a scalar is.

In the usual curriculum you do the unit analysis as a separate step, as it's usually in the physics lessons where units are used. In math it's unitless.

Of course, we should start teaching immediately that you can't add apples and pears. Maybe we should just do this explicitly there, that 5 times 3 apples is fine, as 5 is scalar. Explain that immediately and then add the unit analysis in physics.
That's technically probably true but not a lot better. DuckDuckGo is a private alternative search engine and they already have a mobile browser, so literally the only part that makes it work is "and alternative to Chrome on desktop". You can claim that DDG doesn't count because it uses bing for some of its backend (not exclusively, they do run their own crawler plus other sources IIRC), but then I get to throw out the Brave browser since it's a Blink ... actually, more than just using blink, isn't it outright a Chromium fork even for the frontend?

Forget Google, how are they gonna compete with DDG who has the "privacy conscious" market niche pretty well covered. That seems to be their main competitor here.

Having a semi-popular browser where they can set the default search engine would normally help, but if it's not free, I don't see why anyone would pay when, again, DDG does the same thing for free.

Let alone the rumors of Apple wanting to make its own search engine...
> If the browser is supposed to send the information, what are they going to do with those of US who do not use Chrome?

What would stop them from implementing FLoC in the cloud for non-Chrome users? Fundamentally, where the data is stored is meaningless. So long as they are pushing everything through this same "FLoC" model, they are claiming they won't be tracking individuals.

So on Chrome, FLoC is local—your own browser working against you—for Safari and FireFox, FLoC is cloud based.

So long as the web sites in question are running Google Analytics, they still have the software on your system on a huge number of sites.

> You can definitely see multiplication as repeated addition

Only if you restrict to whole numbers. But multiplication does not just apply to whole numbers. How would you see multiplication by pi as repeated addition?

> how else would you define multiplication?

As a separate operation with its own properties. The subject article gives several examples of properties of multiplication that are simply different from properties of addition.
There was quite a discussion on HN about the podcast joined by Brendan Eich himself:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26131043
He created a terrible programming language and a browser that's slower than Safari and risks the privacy of its users with half-considered Tor implementations; he also made Mozilla, which has been doing more harm than good since long before he left it.

What exactly is legendary about Eich?
It's a bummer that he didn't disappear.
I don't know - the problem with complaints like 'Wal-mart are destroying small, local businesses' is that although many people agree that Wal-mart is bad, often no one is sure exactly what is bad about Wal-mart.

Employee conditions, monopolistic practices to squeeze suppliers and city layouts and zoning are all already regulated in principle. But what if it's something much more nebulous? Attempts to intervene for 'atmosphere', 'niceness', 'tradition' and so on seem doomed to be either useless or lead to unintended consequences.

But just trying to understand and be honest about what it is we want can be a huge step forward!
It's good to see more competition in the search space, but I have to wonder: is Search really still the golden goose at Google? Between Android, Chrome, and YouTube, Google seems to have all the profiling data and all the eyeballs it could ever ask for. How wrong am I?

> I think folks in modern times are less & less prone to thinking animals are ‘dumb’. But 1 or 2 generations ago this was not the case.

The naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre, in the 19th century, made an extensive study of solitary, spider-hunting wasps. Much of what he discovered, with regard to the surprising complexity of their hunting and nesting behavior, became well known in his day - he was one of the first writers I discovered when I started delving into the literature to feed my own burgeoning interest in the aculeates, and one of the reasons his work is so easy to come by is that it was popular, and thus well preserved.

It was very much new to me, though; to whatever extent it had entered common knowledge a century and a half ago, it has since exited again. If anything, I think that in recent generations we have become less likely to recognize complex behavior and intelligence in nonhuman animals, not more so; that may be changing, but if so, I think it must have begun quite recently.

You are probably right. I first wrote "many", then edited it to say "some", in the interest of accuracy, since I had only used a few kinds myself, and did not know if all the others supported that feature or not :)
> Multiplication has nothing to do with addition and at some point we have to stop teaching students that it's related.

I just finished studying Galois Fields, which LITERALLY redefines multiplication and addition operators to study new forms of math (IE fields in particular)

In all fields and rings, multiplication and addition are related by the distributive property.

A(b + c) is equal to Ab + Ac, in literally every form of math you can every think of. A and b could be matrices, vectors, polynomials, prime numbers, integers, rational, complex, real, or Galois polynomials over a weird modulus ring thingy inside of a vector inside of a matrix. Doesn't matter, addition and multiplication are and always defined in that manner.
They don’t fail though, and there is a really good reason why they don’t.

When you sell software to non-tech companies, they’re used to failures. We have 1 supplier out of more than 1200, who hasn’t screwed up majorly at one point or the other.

In a world where that’s a fact, and people have just sort of learned to live with shitty software and IT that doesn’t always works. The key selling point for any major product is cost, and upfront cost weighs so much more than cost-down-the-line. Especially in management where managers won’t be around 4-8 years later when the contract is up for renewal.
> Nobody has made them do this

Depends how you look at it.

The current climate gives corporations incentives to perform self-wokifying PR stunts (like this) to shield themselves from random angry tweets going viral.

It's risk management, not the company being moral or anything.

If people stopped buying individual products because they're no longer "fine", like it's always been done, then I'd agree with you: it's no longer profitable, and it's their own motivation to discontinue it.

But the current trend is that a digital angry mob will try to burn the company/creator/distributor and their reputation with it, even if the product is just there for historical reasons.

Such trend is turning regular IP management into a sea of cost and risk matrices, and I wouldn't be surprised if within 5 years there are insurance policies (and therefore actuaries) dealing with cancellation scenarios.

One that has a fixed block subsidy. After any amount of time, whether years or decades or centuries, it will have been distributed evenly over all that time.

Rather than having 50% distributed in just the first 4 years, and only crumbs in later decades.

I briefly hoped this meant they were giving up on ad targeting.

However, my reading of this is that they’ve given up on embedding trackers in websites, and instead will embed trackers at the operating system level, where they can gather even more information.

The stuff about cohorts describes standard clustering algorithms that have been used for ad targeting for decades.

This doesn’t sound like a win for privacy. It sounds like greenwashing of a massively expanded surveillance infrastructure.

I think your comments are earnest and I wonder if in person I’d be able to maybe change your mind.

My argument would be that we shouldn’t determine mercy based on what something else would do to us, but on what we can do in pursuit of a worthy goal. Basically what the “right” thing is independent of how we’d be treated in a similar circumstance.

In this case the goal would be reducing suffering of other living things.

If we had to eat meat to live then I’d understand the tradeoff, but we don’t so it seems wrong.

> “ And I, in turn, have seen no justification for not eating meat better than "you shouldn't eat meat".”

The justification I’m trying to make is that reducing suffering of living things is a worthwhile goal and something we can do by not eating meat.

> “ it is to point out that there is no reason not to eat other animals and there are very good reasons to eat them”

I’d argue this isn’t true for the reasons above.

I mean really how many people are recompiling their entire code base every single day? Is their make/build environment so bad that they can't trust incremental compiles? I'm getting along just fine on my 8GB laptop. I know some people work with big datasets and video and such but holy cow. Most of us are probably just writing code for a browser/backend/library/test and not pushing around terabytes of data.

There's a difference between copying for personal use and distributing to others against payment of any type. Redistributing against payment implies that the purchaser is willing to pay in the first place and of course that payment should be made to the original creator / rights holder.

Piracy not being theft only applies if you would have _never_ bought the product in the first place, had it not been free to copy.

If you redistribute some content on youtube you are "stealing" eyeballs and ad money from the original creator.

I think that the article is very well put together and informative, and has the merit of stirring well clear of 'hypotheses' and other FUD stories like the one you mention in order to stay focussed on facts.

SARS was traced to bats, MERS is probably from bats as well, they've already found bats that harbour virii 96% similar to SARS-CoV-2, and the overwhelming consensus is that SARS-CoV-2 is natural, so it seems logical and prudent to stick to that unless or until factual evidence of the contrary surface. The kind or research carried out at the lab in Wuhan is neither here nor there, really.
Calling it the collapse of science is definitely hyperbole, science is a method of falsification, it can't "collapse".

What is at risk is established academia and society's trust in the institution. The replication crisis is not well known outside of academic or technical circles for now. But eventually it will become a major scandal and you can't blame people for losing their trust at that point. And I think the worst part about it all is you can watch academia make the issue worse in real time. I see discussions about how to fix things but everyone ignores the gorilla in the room. They stop short of the truth, that academia is fraught with fraud and the system has set up in such a way as to promote it for anyone who actually wants to have a stable and successful career.

I've seen it myself first hand, when someone has been caught unequivocally committing research fraud they are fired and blacklisted from the community at large but are always treated as an isolated incident. The degree to which research cannot be reproduced means we have a serious fraud problem.

Academia needs to start cleaning house.
No, not allowing people to close open positions would be way more of a shit show, and way more likely to look bad (on the broker) in court.

I think the heart of the issue is whether it's more useful to teach children how to multiply two abstract numbers together as a kind of "mathematical procedure" that they need to memorize, or whether it's more useful to teach children that if they measure two sides of a square with a measuring tape, they can "multiply" the measurement and that the result is now in "square inches" rather than regular inches. And the schism is that some people believe that procedural memorization is useful because after 20+ years of education they've gotten through the good part, and other people believe that the procedural memorization does kids a disservice by divorcing mathematical thinking from the concrete world entirely.
