Being eaten raw doesn't mean being eaten without washing. That should get rid of most of the stuff. My understanding is that cat litter is a danger factor because it gets dry and fecal matter particles get thrown in the surrounding air. Which wouldn't be a problem in the garden.
> Here in the NL, plastic bags are an extra charge (at least where I shop), it costs just a tiny bit extra to get nice reusable ones or bring your own - you can return most other single use plastics — like bottled water — and get your money back.

It's the same in the UK at the supermarket, but then in the same shop I can buy a packet of chocolates in a plastic bag of their own, with each individual chocolate wrapped.

Same for other goods: I bought a new lamp, it came in a box with styrofoam, plastic wrapping around each individual component, a plastic cover over the plug, temporary plastic clips to hold the cable together.

The bastard material is just everywhere.
I just quit my startup job a couple months ago and like magic I can barely see my gray hairs anymore. Whereas when I worked there it seemed like every month the gray got worse. I'm 36.

We may not have risk of falling off a roof or getting shot so I don't want to overstate anything but the stress some of us have from our careers is definitely not helping our health. Combine that with generally sitting in our chair all day and it gets worse.

My new job is also a startup but I'm a founder this time and have more latitude to take a mental health break or block out time mid-day to do a workout. Everyone is different but I think quantifiably... based on my gray hair (to come back full circle to the article)... the lack of a steady paycheck is much LESS stressful than the job at a more established company where I got paid well but was pretty much on call 24x7.
Hyper focus is a benefit of ADHD. It just has to be interesting.

I couldn’t read people in teens. In 20s I decided to change that. Would stare intently at a person face and watch every muscle movement, tone, etc. read some books on body language.

Was absurdly exhausting for me. But I got very good at reading people. Eventually it went from intense analytical analysis to just “normal” paying attention.
Government want to play the strong man, but still fails miserably. To the detriment of citizens. The narrative around these happenings are a complete joke in my opinion.
Yea, why not just have "double-click" as "add this element to the end of input".
So what's the benefit of the EU?

They do terribly at basics like vaccinating people to keep them alive, but it's ok as you can do your own thing?

Lol so why bother being part of it?
Brexit had popular support for a brief period. The rest of the time there's been solid electoral opposition to it.

A confirmatory referendum - defined as "undemocratic", because of course a clarifying vote on a complex issue can't possibly be democratic, according to the Brexiters - would have killed it.

The most fervent supporters don't really want "Brexit" anyway. What they want is to put the clever people - the professionals who keep the lights on and the engines running - in their place.

Which is why there was so much cut-and-paste rhetoric about "metropolitan elites" and "We've all had enough of experts."

It was a very calculated campaign of disinformation and populist framing aimed at low-information authoritarians - the kinds of people who will reliably destroy their own country from the inside while convincing themselves they're "patriots."
It feels like so many people in North America are struggling with infertility.

It is one of those topics that have been deemed too taboo to talk about which is infortunate.

It's funny how the early web thinking encompassed nuclear war but not the presence of authoritarian government in the East and a zealotic secular religion in the West.
You're a grown up country and are supposedly able to take care of public health. The EU is a helping hand on these issues, and nobody said that you could not get vaccines because of the EU. The EU is not responsible for a country's cock ups.

The problem is risk. HIPAA allows for a lot of things that feel like exceptions to the core principles of HIPAA. Many things are vaguely defined as "reasonable" - which changes over time.

MD5 was a reasonable password hash - until it wasn't. SHA1 was - until it wasn't. Etc.

An article like this can arguably prove that there is no reasonable means of de-identification since multiple data sources can be combined. Combine that with the fact that HIPAA puts pretty high limits on the minimum cohort size that can be associated with a unique identifier and low ROI from actually sharing this data.

Many places end up in a position where it's simply not worth the risk to share.
If people can't be trusted to consume information without censorship, is that a problem with the platform or the consumer?

If we accept the premise that individuals cannot be trusted with information, where does that lead us?

There will always be problems in society. Taking a narrow view of exceptional circumstances, characterizing it as dangerous or "an emergency" ignores the larger picture. Given a chance for rational, open dialog, people equipped to do so can come to conclusions based upon reason. It is the natural course of the dissemination of information.

I remember when the rallying cry of the hacker movement was: "Information wants to be free"

Somewhere along the line we've supplanted that with gatekeeping and walled gardens. Cynics will observe that there is no gatekeeping without walled gardens. Therefore, if there was a motive for censorship and gatekeeping, walled gardens satiated the need.

Can we say that there was not a pre-existing structure for censorship?

The Internet may have temporarily disrupted censorship for some, but it has been a case of solve et coagula. Dissolve and reform. Where before there was a limited conduit of information via mainstream presses and televised talking heads, there is now a curated garden of content. Simulated peer groups share their views. Those that step outside of the prescribed narrative can be removed. Thus the individual need not solely trust their taking head, they can look to their peers and fulfill their desire to conform to social norms.

You ask "What if it [insert-platform] wasn't censored?". As a cynic I must conclude that there would be no point to these platforms without censorship. They either wouldn't be created, or an overriding need to censor them would naturally arise. Censorship is the feature.
It has been at least a decade since the futility of plastic recycling has been known.

Any politician that tries to rectify the plastic situation will get voted out because people would experience a reduction in quality of life.

It is the same reason why the solution to reducing carbon emissions has not been enacted worldwide, which is increasing taxes on fossil fuels until consumption goes down (which would also solve the plastic issue).

But again, that will cause short term pain by having to consume less, such as not living in big houses/spread out suburbs, flying and driving to far flung vacations, using large personal vehicles, convenience and cheapness of plastic packaging, etc.
As a former quant, I urge HN readers to stay away from this, except possibly to short it. A leveraged ETF on a volatile underlying such as crypto is forced to make large trades daily, chasing the market. A leveraged long ETF must buy/sell when the market is up/down on the day. This forced daily trading results in large costs to investors. Research has shown that leveraged ETFs underperform their daily benchmarks.
Advocates could chart the eventual gains, improvements.

I understand there are costs involved. I'm ok with switchover costs, 1 step back before 2 steps forward.

The future of lithium ion batteries are a great example. Eventually, most material will be recycled, cell production will be carbon neutral, most conflict materials (akin to "blood diamond") will be phased out. I'm ok with temporary negative externalities to get us to that rosy future,

Maybe no grey hair is how it is supposed to be and the grey patch of hair was caused by a health issue or stress? I mean, you are only in your early thirties, most people have no grey hair at that age.
No, it does not. The article says that exploratory mode is one necessary step toward ultimately narrowing down your focus.
Even auctors of high credentials will often disagree on such matters, and they all have their research that backs up their claim, that would look quite compelling if one would not know that research of a similarly compelling nature exists that proves the antithesis.

I gain the impression that fame and credentials in a certain field are the often the product of bias and attempt to support a præconceived conclusion, as that creates sensationalist, opinionated articles that are heavily discussed, whereas “The research at this point is inconclusive and contradictory.” is not something sensationalist articles are easily written with.
From what I remember from monograph I read about decade ago.

>Does your body ever rid itself of this infection on its own?

No, but it gets used to it.

>Are there any treatments for this disease?

Only for acute form. But it's usually latent and the cysts in the brain are treatment resistant.

>If this disease is so ubiquitous, how do we know it's harmful?

It lowers reaction speeds, inhibits fear, can cause reckless behaviour. There were found correlations between infection of Toxoplasma gondii and development of psychiatric illnesses like schizophrenia.

Did you mean to say "social opprobium" (aka, lets get this guy fired and kicked out of places) should have a lower standard of proof than "beyond a reasonable doubt"? Because reading your post I understood that it should be lower then the civil standard (i.e.: "preponderance of evidence")

I thought that everyone was going to be on the Internet in a fairly short time, and that would present three major problems.

First, accessible files would become so numerous that no one would be able to navigate them sensibly with the tools that we had. We would drown in a sea of random gratuitous data.

Second, user interfaces would tend toward a swamp of accidental complexity unless someone made it their business to compete on the basis of superior user experience, based on sound UX research.

Third, unless we could figure out a framework for individuals to own and control their own data, everything would end up owned and controlled by large, faceless institutions with no accountability, and regular people would be reduced to serfs with no effective control of their own data.

I wrote an email about these predictions and circulated it at Apple, trying to get someone interested. I tried to pitch the idea of tackling these problems head-on.

Nobody bit.

Partly that's because I'm not a great salesman. I lack the absolute conviction and the necessary zeal.

Partly it's because I was a minor cog in a large machine.

Partly it's because Apple was in a death spiral at that moment, and didn't have a lot of attention to spare for grand visions of the future.

I had worked for a couple of years on Apple's Newton project, then at NeXT. My expectations of the future arose from stuff I saw while working on those projects. Both Newton and NeXT tried really hard to make user experiences that were natural and comfortable and productive. Both were concerned with trying to connect people using ubiquitous networking.

Both succeeded in no small measure, but both also exposed problems that didn't become visible until you started connecting everything together and trying to design interfaces to help people make sense of it all.

I didn't sell my pitch to anybody, and neither did anybody else. Instead, I think we more or less got the dystopia I was afraid of.
Thank you. Do you think it would be possible for these services to operate in a manner that does not require sharing data with them?

For example, if the 3rd party app wants to show you your aggregate spending, they could run the operation on the bank's server and then the result would be end to end encrypted and shown on a customer device, without the 3rd party being able to read any details.
Interesting that they went with full data sharing, that's a bit lazy and careless.
This is a quick way to further increase Signal's user base. If someone in India does not know about Signal, this type of "don't use it! it's noncompliant!" government behavior will drive more users to the platform.
I naturally think about (Or pencil.) what elements should be in a page, and how they should behave. That is easier to translate to browser tests.

Also, even if I write feature or unit tests to invoke some class methods, there's no guarantee that they'd be executed when a user performs some action in the page. To do that, I'd either have to manually check it (Bad, because its not repeatable.), or write browser tests anyway.

Only if you choose to explicitly expose them.

In which case the fault is entirely with you.
TDD means writing tests before writing actual code, which presupposes writing very granular unit tests.

In practice though, what you want is sufficient coverage of your business logic. If you are well versed in TDD, your code architecture will be sufficiently decoupled even if you don't do TDD per se, so you should be able to test whatever is important for your application.

However, note that testing each layer independently generally gives you the best bang for the bug: trust that you can update code without worrying about breaking something. Then you only need minimal integration tests to ensure integration points are not broken.

What you describe sound like full system tests which are slowest, and you should have only a few of them in comparison, basically to replace manual QA.

Note that everybody uses slightly different definitions for which tests are which, but I hope you get the point.
I'd want somebody else to look at my code - the more I spend on my code the more blinded I become to the issues I'm trying to fix while sacrificing others.
I'm under the impression there's only a handful of people who use Starlette/FastAPI AND have a proper experience with DRF. I'm on a similar boat, I have experience with Django/Flask/DRF and was thinking about starting a project with Starlette (I used it before and I prefer it over FastAPI) but I've decided to continue my DRF journey. Would you mind sharing why, in your opinion, Starlette might be the successor of DRF?

So medical science could figure out the health consequence of all your dietary and recreational decisions with amazing granularity, and your take is this is a negative thing because of the possibility of higher insurance rates?
It's a very good point.

I believe the network effects are stronger than the free speech incentive for most people, after all, that is what current leading platforms bet on when deciding about censorship.

This can be in theory only resolved by the state. Advertisers will adjust, marketing is the most adjustable business there is.

It's a big point of dispute if a state should be able to censor someone, of course, but IMO state should not allow censorship within a global privately owned platform.
Empirically untrue, I'm afraid. Unless when I go to sleep I go all Tyler Durden and have an entirely different life.

What I experienced with the people I know, who adopted:

There are of course many older children waiting for a real home - but in general they all bring their mental baggage with - so this can be really, really challenging.
But even in the "best case" where 51% voted to remain it would still have not settled the conflict. It was essentially 50/50 and that's not a clear vote for anything.

Not pedantic at all. The article headline and content are both written to sensationalize and maximize your fear response.

> YAGNI isn’t a rule, it’s a dismissal. A dodge. A cop-out.

No, not really. YAGNI is about making it clear that you do not need to waste time putting together abstractions that aren't required to implement anything, and are nothing more than nice-to-haves that increase complexity but buy you nothing.

At best, YAGNI is a tradeoffs between the risk of piling up tech debt (and typically a very low risk) and improving the maintainability of your code base (because you avoid piling up cruft that you do not need).

What sort of NN would be used to warp two compositionally similar images to match each other in structure? In the example the copy painting had almost all of the same general components, laid out with fairly significant differences, and they warped it to match quite precisely.
Valgrind doesn't require rebuilding the program, which is useful. Valgrind will detect the problem even in assembly code. E.g. if your inline assembly code uses uninitialized data, or accesses a heap object out of bounds, Valgrind will show that.

Valgrind is usable for finding problems in code that isn't 100% conforming with ISO C in its use of memory. For instance, it usefully refrains from complaining when a conservative garbage collector treats the entire stack as an array of pointers to scan for object graph roots.

That is a great question and I think some site creators have shared your thoughts on this. I don't believe there is a single simple answer. The internet is not as distributed as some think it is. IP allocation is still controlled by a small number of governments ARIN, APNIC, RIPE NCC, AFRINIC. ISP's, DNS providers, CDN's are subject to their governments regulations and political influence. Every proposed solution I have seen ends up down some rabbit holes and obscure technologies that are generally too hard for the masses to adopt.
Dante Labs Acquires Cambridge Cancer Genomics
Hopefully yes, but that's a separate matter. The important part is that it's technically feasible and you can then use whatever legal (or otherwise) mechanisms to get the metadata.
It's things like this that make it such a shock to go to an extremely safe country / area. All the little scripts one has to keep track of to be "safe and secure" in the US (e.g. instinctively locking your doors all the way to learning that you can't park in SF to take your girlfriend to lunch on your way to drop her off at the airport because a big suitcase is a target for these rampant smash-and-grabs; unfortunately I had to learn this one the hard way) seem absurd if the whole society functions well.

Figuring out how to park on a hill to deter cat theft, buy security nuts for wheels to avoid wheel theft, using special security nuts for one's bike parts to avoid bike component theft (not to mention having to find indoor bike parking because brazen daylight bike theft just seems to be tolerated now) are the sort of tricks one learns to adapt to, but when you visit a place like Japan, Singapore, or Norway, all of this stuff makes you realize how dystopic things have gotten in the US.

Not saying that no country is without flaws, but the little "quality of life hacks" one must do to be safe in the US don't make up for things descending as far into chaos as they have.

The basics do wonders. Healthy diet, meditation, regular exercise, plentiful sleep.

Other than that it’s specific to your situation and what you can change. For me my job was the source of most of it so I switched to a chill but better paid position and now my life is in much more of a balanced state. One stressor tends to spill and cause tension with every other part of my life.

For me having kids was the wake up call that I need to make a change or crumble under the pressure. Easy choice in the end.
