these are pretty. Do you have any idea if there is a way to use the library with other data (hashes) other than the Urbit 'names' or what it is?
I doubt the difference would even be measurable.
To be honest, this actually seems quite low. Most self-tests would classify you as an alcoholic for drinking every day; it's quite surprising to me that the difference is only 0.004%
I try my best to avoid alcohol. The challenge is, I like that it changes my state of mind, and maybe too much. Logically I know the resulting anxiety and negative health effects are just not worth it, but addiction is not logical.
Studies like this and the subsequent stupid fear-mongering and risk aversion is how we get people afraid to take a vaccine that's 100x less dangerous than the disease it's preventing

- Non-drinkers: 914

- 1 drink/day: 918

Of course it depends on p-value but a "risk" like that is pretty close to be a measuring error.

I think I'll take the risk, thanks
Alcohol is an addictive drug. Sure, if you have one drink a day it MIGHT relax you. But you also run the real risk of becoming an alcoholic and dying. Given that alcohol kills so many people, it doesn't seem worth the risk.

> For people who had two alcoholic drinks a day, 63 more developed a condition within a year

A year? What kind of conditions can develop from light alcohol consumption like that?
> Social scientists do need race-based concepts

Do they? There are places like France where the whole concept of race doesn't apply to humans. Race terminology is for things like dog breeds. Humans don't really have races in that sense.

This is exemplified by the fact that someone with a black and a white parents is said to be black, because of their skin color. Even if you are for example 1/8th black descent you are said to be of "race" black because of the resulting skin color. It doesn't make any sense as a scientific concept. Other countries have different classification, like South Africa.

We are one species with various ethnicities, usually mixed.

Probably the most common non-cancerous injury from alcohol is cirrhosis of the liver.

> As has been previously discussed on HN [0], alcohol (in moderation) can be advantageous for your social live.

Long ago, cigarette smoking was seen as advantageous for your social life. Even now, with alcohol, a lot of the big companies are trying hard to make alcohol much less a part of business and corporate culture.
Depends what you are trying to show. What it does show is that they didn't find any health benefits from drinking a glass a day, which was something lots of other studies where purporting to find around that time.

The actual conclusion from the actual paper is "the level of consumption that minimises health loss is zero"
for a while. Alcohol is a mutagen (and so is its metabolite, acetaldehyde) and it particularly increases the risk of cancer of tissue it comes into direct contact with. Esophageal, oral cavity, stomach and liver.
That sounds a lot of info you managed to extrapolate from this little context.

FYI: Union Square Ventures bought into coinbase at $0.20 per share. If they sold for around $300 then thats a gain of around 150,000.00% (in the same period if they had bought bitcoin for $128 in 2013 and sold for $60,000 that would only be and a gain of 47,000%)

Does this factor in that quite a few "non-drinkers" will be ex-alcoholics in recovery? Drinking in the UK is really prevalent, especially over the last few decades, although it's apparently in decline for young adults nowadays.

I would rather buy a Dragonfly DAC for my phone. I had a FiiO but the problem is that you have 2 devices to charge and copy music to. I am using a Dragonfly Black with my laptop and I am recommending it to everybody. It's around £100 and the difference in the audio quality is lightyears or even parsecs from any internal soundcard.
I am a GenXer and after some time I got tired of obnoxious landlords. Plus, after living in 12 different places and not knowing when the next "please move out, I need this apartment for other purposes" note comes, is sorta stressful.

Every coin has two sides. I can imagine that expensive real property may be a burden that prevents you from living fully. I can also imagine having a house as an anchor in a place I love.

If you had a farm with cattle, would you want each cow to live in its own small place or would you pack all cows efficiently under one roof and move them around in bulk?
> If people didn't own houses then someone would, and that someone is still incentivized to constrain the supply.

Yes, but constraining the supply is done through political means: planning laws, green belts, individual objections to developments, voting etc. All of those in theory are based on "one man one vote", so if you concentrate ownership of supply you drastically reduce the number of votes it gets.

> the middle class who used to be able to live in a nice semi/detatched house are now living in flats in a skyscraper that is a massive detriment to their quality of life

People in Singapore really love their flats. I think what people don't realise is that the space between the skyscrapers is well used with lots of playgrounds, parks and sports facilities. It isn't giving up your garden: it's swapping it for a much larger shared garden with facilities you could never dream of affording on your own.

HMOs aren't a fair comparison because they have comical soundproofing compared to modern flats.

There are two very different possible reasons:

1. They believe the price will drop and want to sell before that happens. If this is the case, it raises the question why they think the company is overpriced since, as somebody involved with the company for a long time, they might have insights the public missed.

2. They want to cash out for reasons unrelated to the company. For example because their investment model is to invest in a private company, wait until it goes public, and then sell.

Language evolves, yes, but lot of people (the majority I suppose) still use and understand "man" in the neutral meaning too; there is a set of people that has "evolved" and tries to impose their evolution with dishonest speaking practices (shame, economic pressure, cancel culture..). This is not language evolution, it is the same as the fascists in Italy in the 19twenties that have pushed/banned the use of specific words in the Italian language (was it evolution? I think you agree it is not). So I don't buy this one, "language evolution" supporters in this case have the same behaviour of religious fundamentalists, they have lot of uncontestable axioms, like a religion, and this is not good. Not good at all.
Yes. This is essentially the idea.
It's not built-in but you could implement it on your own. Here is a layouting example: https://reactflow.dev/examples/layouting/
Searched for "LSP" and "Language Server Protocol" and did not find any mentions.

Unfortunately, I think the programming languages are getting too complex for an editor to try to maintain smart browsing, smart formatting, code completion, etc. Language Server Protocol allows this language work to be done once by people who are generally actively tracking the language.

I think in 2021, a programmer's editor without Language Server Protocol support is hopelessly hampered.
That's the case of for me as well.

Property ownership is bad. Rent for life, dont leave inheritance to your children so they can rent for life too. All you need in life is clothing, entertainment, a bit of travel to distract you from your tiny living space, maybe a gadget or two and of course onsite work. Oh and praise from you manager to add meaning to your daily grind.

Or so “they” say while “they” amass thousands of properties and massive fortunes while we get tagged, farmed in office buildings, monitored and ignored in politics.

Custom Website Design vs Templates: Which to Choose?
They probably mean "units" rather than drinks, and quite a lot of standard measures - glass of wine, pint of beer - are two units. It implies habit, such as having a drink when you come home from work and then maybe another one later, plus partying at the weekend, which easily adds up to those averages.

Quite a lot of people drink a lot in a way that's mostly invisible.

In order to gain a security benefits from having the container in VMs instead of bare metal you would have to make sure that the containers which do not trust each other are running on different Hosts (VM or bare metal)

If container A is a bad container and wants to attack or interfere with the container B. It is much easier for the container to do so if they are on same host. In this case it does not matter if the host is a VM or a bare metal machine.

Imagine a system where renters could put up a small fee, say 3-5% of the homes value, then just continue paying their monthly "rent" payment as usual. However, each time they pay that monthly rent a portion of that payment goes directly to them as equity. That way years later they could move and benefit from that equity position or after a certain period of time, say 30 years, own the entire home outright.

Oh wait...
Yes and no. Aurora Serverless isn't really "serverless", it's PG or MySQL binary compatible wire protocol with AWS custom storage engine underneath.

Provisioning of the compute part of the database is still at the level of "ACU" which essentially map to the equivalent underlying EC2s. The scale up/down of serverless V1 is clunky and when we tested, there was visible pauses in handling transactions in progress when a scaling event occurred.

There is a "V2" of serverless in beta that is much closer to "seamless" scaling, I assume using things like Nitro and Firecracker under the covers to provision compute in a much more granular way.
Just saying it's a tiny change because "it feels that way" doesn't make it so. When ranting against misleading news, I think your approach of argument from assertiveness is slightly dishonest.

A bit more rigorous would be to compare maybe the Beta distribution with a=915 to a=919 and b=100,000 in both cases. Or Poisson distributions with lambda 914/100,000 and 918/100,000.

I don't know whether Beta or Poisson are better fits. I don't even know how I'd find out.

Abd of course, that's still a fairly handwavy approach and I'd love for someone to show me how it's done for real.

But just saying it's noise without quantifying it seems to me exactly as misleading and irresponsible as the original news, only biased in the other direction.

Even from the title, the implication is that "home ownership" is a "policy" from the government rather than just a natural state of people acquiring and improving the land. It implies the government can simply revoke home ownership by a new policy.

Property ownership and improvement isn't a privilege "given" to us by a benevolent government with their immaculate "policies" from time immemorial. People are the source of government power. People build houses.

The government doesn't own us. We own the government.
It is your free time, and you can do whatever you want for yourself. The problem is when you market it to someone else, whether for money or donated, if you agreed to such restrictions. Then that free time is work, whether you enjoy it or get paid for it, which is why the employer in this case thought they had a right to restrict it.

I too wish there was a sane way to deal with this, but I don't think this is a case that's so simple that that you can pass a law that isn't so narrow as to be useless that also isn't so vague that it takes a hatchet to important legitimate concerns for employers in a way that would be bad overall. Passing a law about rights of a person would be a sane first step, but how do you do that while also protecting IP and trade secrets, etc? That's why I recommend to get mark we t, not because the market gets everything right, but because I'm this case I think it's better than a law that I not only think won't be done well in the end, I'm not even sure it could be done well. And to be clear, many states already have laws that curtail the worst excesses of contracts like these (such as limiting what type of work qualifies based on what you are employed for), and I think expanding those that work to help this to other states is a good thing, as well as small targeted additions. I just don't think it's something we can use legislation alone to fix.

Wonderful tips. I never thought of 2 that way.

What I love is spaced repetition of the highlights. I don't do it time based though. I do it based on subject, and this gets a lot more powerful when it's more than one book on a subject.

For example - go through my highlights on Influence (Chialdini), Thinking Fast and Slow, Poor Charlie's Almanac, and think about how they complement each other.

Seeing the same subject from multiple points of view, sometimes conflicting, other times corroborating each other is very helpful to build a more wholesome base of knowledge.

Just doing quick mental accounting of my devices: leak sensor, a few door and window sensors, ceiling mounted monoxide and fire detectors, a motion detector… none of that I'd really want to run the mains to. And seriously, if I had to run cable to those I'd rather much have 2-wire Ethernet with PoE.

The fridge, washer and dryer have integrated IoT but there'd be little point running just these over power lines.
For better context, the baseline "illness rate" was 914/100,000 which is a 0.914% chance of illness per year. The "one drink a _day_" group increases that to 918/100,000 for a risk of 0.918%. Yes, the consequences are 0.004% (or 4e-05 probability) increase in risk from drinking _daily_. It's almost like they had to goose the results and drop out "1-2 drinks a week" groups to get positive results.
Good point. I actually agree that our culture around alcohol is a bit unhealthy; I tried to avoid excusing this behaviour by pointing the bad sides out.

That being said, given the amount of problems the reporting has [0], it probably works the wrong way around: People take away that drinking increases their disease chance by 0.004% and think everything is fine; just have a look at the other comments in this thread.

I rented out my small apartment for 6 years when I had no use for it (living elsewhere), and I never felt like an economic parasite.

It is a service that comes with plenty of duties and risks, at least if you want to have a reasonable reputation.

It probably depends on local market. I can imagine that in Silicon Valley, bad landlords can get away with almost anything, because the demand is so strong. Outside such economic hubs, the market situation is much more balanced and getting a good tenant who won't smoke in the house and destroy furniture is not trivial.

A friend of mine rented out a small apartment inherited from his grandma (nothing expensive, a rust-belt city in Eastern Europe that just keeps itself alive) and found out that the tenants turned it into a meth factory, when police came knocking on his door to ask unpleasant questions.
