Setting aside the environmental concerns (which are important, and indirectly health-adjacent), are there material health reasons to eat organic?

I had zero difficulty understanding the post you're replying to— and neither did you. It doesn't even annoy me any more, probably because, as a chemist, I got it out of my system years ago.

I think sys programming is a broad topic and there is a chance that you are into a part of it.

And it's not difficult to get hand on some simple projects IMHO e.g. write an interpreter.
Criminals can be very creative, but I struggle to understand this too. Fine, you sell a ridiculously overpriced thing, that amounts to disguising a money transfer as a sale, but how can you launder dirty money unless you pay in cash? Can auctions take a bag of cash as payment without repercussions?

OTOH, there might be something I'm not seeing here. In my country, private doctors at high-end hospitals accept cash as payment (even for major surgeries), which for common mortals would be a fiscal hell to convert into bank money, but they seem to be fine with it. I've noticed that most high-end hospitals also have a non-profit charity attached, and that many doctors have several big and ugly paintings in their offices.

> And electricity needs to come from some source, ideally one that can provide more than +4hs and affordably.

Electricity already comes from a lot of sources. It is pretty myopic to think people talking about solar panels means replacing all electricity generation with solar. Solar installations already pay for themselves in under 7 years in sunny areas. Peak electricity use is in the summer during the day, when solar would have the most impact and can be double the energy used at night.

> Right, tell that to every country that still imports hydrocarbons to burn for electricity/heat…

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, no one thinks that all potential solar power is already installed, this is about what happens in the future with rapidly decreasing solar prices. Also I don't know why you are talking about entire countries, all the parent poster said was that 'they live in an area without sun'. You keep bringing up shipping molten salt around the world for some bizarre reason. Electricity grids are meant to route power.

> I'm pretty sure that it will eventually be possible to have vacuum storage to keep it hot for longer than 17.5 hours with enough delta_k above freezing

Lol, show me where this anything like this has made money. Coal isn't even as viable anymore and that is dug out of the ground and shipped by rail. Molten salt would have to be super heated and then enormous amounts of energy would have to be used to move it.

Do you actually think that molten salt, with a melting temperature that is double what it takes to start weakening steel as well as being corrosive (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zjb2pv4/revision/2) is going to be better to transport energy than copper cable (which is already run everywhere with electricity !)

In my opinion, that's the central thrust of the text in the genesis block. That the "banks were bailed out" - allowing the wealthy to manipulate the market and remain wealthy while the schlubs were hung out to dry. That is the crux of the modern inequality narrative. JMHO.

[edit] I'll be the first to admit I wasn't there in 2010, but I'm led to believe they were discussing a 'peer to peer digital cash' so I guess a lot can change! Certainly the last 5 years have been filled with inequality narrative.

Further, I would argue that yes in the last 5 years once bitcoin entered the zeitgiest, that these mainstream thought pieces are actually more representative of 'the community' as retail gamblers poured in outnumbering earlier participants.

Ask HN: Where can I get FDA Advisory Committee data?
I am looking for data on decisions made by the FDA Advisory Committee. This is slightly different from regular FDA approval data. I am specifically looking for:

date of AdCom (Advisory Committee) review.

result of review (recommended for approval by FDA or not recommended).

vote count, if possible. i.e. 8 members for approval 2 against.

name of drug and name of company manufacturing drug.

I know it public data, I just don't know where to find it. Any help would be appreciated.
For me, the bigger issue is that the problem was not resolved.

I thought so too, but after months of occasional research I ended up buying (what I consider) an absurdly expensive pelican cooler.

I looked at it based on some main criteria, like:

1. Is it durable

2. How long will it keep stuff cold?

3. What’s the warranty like?

The pelican was 2-3x the cost of alternatives (but the same as a few competitors like Yeti), but ultimately scored best on each. Based on the material it’s made from and the experience I have with their other products (particularly cases, which the cooler essentially is) I felt confident the cooler would be effectively bomb proof and last ages in harsh conditions. It has a lifetime warranty, but I don’t want to have to use those. I want something to really last.

After a few years it still looks brand new and still keeps ice a ridiculously long time.

It’s kind of funny - I put fish in it when spear fishing remotely, which seems ridiculous because I’m putting gnarly stuff in a really nice cooler. Somehow though the plastic doesn’t retain the smell, and it’s still perfectly usable for regular camping trips. Having insurance that fish I catch will stay fresh is incredible though. If I stay somewhere three nights and get my limit each day, I can bring fish/crab/etc home.

Combined with our rooftop tent it means we can camp really comfortably for a long time. It was well worth the cost so far.

Edit: I should add that I don’t work for pelican or anything, I just like my cooler and have become conditioned to justify why I bought it, haha. So many people give me shit for it, it’s programmed in now. I swear it’s worth it - if you’ll actually use it. Something 1/3 the price is fine for plenty of people’s needs too.
Fairly safe to add Magic Leap to the list.
That was always my take on OLPC. They tried to do way to much and kept expanding scope.

If they just focused on one slice of the pie, they might have been able to pull it off. For example, build an inexpensive laptop that could be shipped en masse to their target audience.
Is this because we learnt to write before we learnt to type?
This would be a good move, but don't most people get insurance through their employer? To me that would really be the thing to break asap. Can people really shop around? It's either getting an expensive insurance on your own or a much cheaper one via employment but extremely limited choice.

The main barrier to getting rid of insurance via employment seems to be the very high cost of premiums. Employers are able to get much better deal for their employees than a single individual would be able to negotiate with a carrier. Maybe we would need an electroshock including banning employment based insurance and allowing carriers to operate anywhere. This would immediately kickoff the competition between carriers.

No, its just weather. The smallest time window for climate is 30 years of weather and you need more of course to find trends.
When you say it's the opposite of science, you mean ML is just made of black boxes that completely hide away knowledge that humans can interpret?

Science is derived from scio, which in latin means knowledge.

It's true that in a way, ML allows new things, but which are still obscuring real knowledge...

I'm still curious about analysis of trained networks.
Very often people are looking at icache misses instead of something more precise when regarding perf effects due to code size/layout, etc. That more precise thing is frontend stalls: you only care about misses when they cause stalls; otherwise they are overlapped with actual work being done by the execution units.

In particular, Dylan was one of only a few other languages to Take Multiple Dispatch Seriouslyᵀᴹ
Conspiracy seem to be a type of corruption to me in many cases.
I wonder if the same experience can be applied to other languages. That's because in the experiment the subjects were learning another language with completely different alphabet from English. The study was done, I assume, in US since the university is located there. It for sure will apply when learning Mandarin or Katakana. But will it apply when learning a language from same language family like Dutch?

From my personal experience if the alphabet is known for you then there is no need to write by hand. Typing could be even more efficient if you're typing fast. That makes it easy to quickly go through a lot of excercises for writing. And fast reading and reading a lot are another important factors to the success.

> Peter Bone, a veteran Conservative MP, says: “I wholly welcome this. It goes down the route of personal responsibility. It’s spot on.”

Personal responsibility does mean you get to decide when to put others at risk, for example by going near them without a mask. Now, we might argue that there is a trade-off between respecting individual sovereignty on the one hand and lowering the friction of society on the other, but to frame this as a "personal responsibility" move is absurd. The Conservatives should read their intellectual heroes more carefully. Last I checked, Libertarians believe in the non-aggression principle.

You seem to be referring to European feudalism which accounts for a small percent of lived experience even in the time it was relevant, but also, was itself a response to the collapse of urban centers and cosmopolitanism following the collapse of the Roman Empire in Western Europe. The Eastern Roman Empire remained urban and cosmopolitan the whole time, which is why a bunch of armored yokels from the West came through and stole shit midway through the feudal period. Northern and Western Europe was largely a backwater for most of history while Southern Europe, Anatolia, North Africa, the Levant, the Iranian Highlands, the Indus Valley have been urban and cosmopolitan since the Bronze Age at least.

The big barrier to mobility wasn't permission, it was bandits, pirates, and marauders.

The list of crooks involved with cryptocurrencies is significant. And a big problem.

Binance really was banned from operating in the Cayman Islands.[1] That's an achievement.

China's crackdown on Bitcoin mining halved the hash rate.[2] This time, it's serious. Several weeks ago, power was disconnected by the authorities from major Bitcoin mining operations. This is significant, because Bitcoin was being used as a legal way to move money out of China. It's manufacturing and exporting, which is both legal and encouraged. Or was. The crackdown continues.[3] Over a thousand people arrested so far.

Three stablecoins have gone to zero in recent weeks. When stablecoins crash, they go all the way .

The NFT thing seems to be over, although it's hard to see that, because NFTs stall rather than crashing. As I've pointed out before, NFT markets look like Beanie Baby markets on eBay - offers to sell at high prices, no bids. No liquidity. Highly publicized single transactions at high prices are probably sales between cooperating parties. The real point of NFTs is that they are neither a commodity nor a security, and thus evade regulation.

Most importantly, the cryptocurrency world has never experienced a general recession and the resulting net outflow of capital. Remember what happened to Madoff.

Might I add...don't buy this.
Why?
Because you can literally buy an ACTUAL OLPC for $20 more.
The reason is, you’re wrong, it’s not the most important issue. Because there are other more important issues. There are more important long term issues. There are even some more important environmental issues, in terms of harm and our ability to engage productively with them. And your opinion about what to do about climate change is surely a thoughtless, harmful, uncreative regurgitation.
Got it. Not sure how to answer that, some places are just hard to reach. I do know that sometimes roads or trails get built because too many people try to go to certain places and start leaving a footprint. When that happens, government sometimes steps in to try to manage it by either restricting the area or building it out a bit.

Perhaps my sense of adventure is a little different than yours, but if you really want to go than half the adventure is planning the expedition. In this case i'm assuming the place is deliberately being kept secret.

EIP669 was a difficulty bomb delay, which happens every year or so. The difficulty bomb was never intended to make monetary policy. The point was to keep upgrades from failing to deploy due to node operator complacency. The difficulty bomb forces them to upgrade their code in some way, either to the upgraded version, or to the same old version with a bomb delay.

> If you try using ML for test generation, you'll have the same problem you do with GPT-3 prose: it might look plausible at first glance, but lacks coherent meaning.

There is a company in this space of generating "plausible tests" for legacy code bases at very large enterprises (think Goldman Sachs, telcos etc) called Diffblue [0].

They raised funding back in 2017 [1] and it seems their biggest value-add is in creating unit tests for legacy Java code bases that often have little to no unit tests.

Essentially, these AI generated unit tests help a team "document" all known the behaviors of a legacy code base such that when a change is introduced that violates the behaviors covered by the generated unit tests, the tool can alert the team of the potential presence of a regression.

Anyway, they offer a fairly basic browser-based demo of their AI product called Diffblue Cover [2].
