Hmm, I'm not sure about that - at least with Botox.

For what I was referring to - take Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome for example. This is a very tricky medical condition, not yet fully understood in all cases, and requires ruling out a lot of other things.

For example, you're having symptoms of carpel tunnel or tennis elbow. Normally docs would do an EMG to see if the nerve has been damaged in the wrist or elbow. Nerves end up coming back fine - in the sense that there's no permanent damage, but the symptoms are still obviously there... now obviously, there's a larger tree of things to rule out/processes to do, but to keep it simple, we get to a point we suspect the issue is coming from the brachial plexus nerve bundle... we then inject Botox to the pec minor and scalenes. This eliminates the symptoms for some short amount of time, and thus indicates you would be a good surgical candidate to have your pec minor, anterior scalenes (or more), and first rib surgically removed, so that the nerve/arteries are no longer being impinged upon by the muscles/bone structure.

That is what I mean in the sense of using it as a "diagnostic tool"

However - Botox also helps with things like cervical/other dystonias. Sometimes, completely curing, but they really don't know exactly why in many cases. That is somewhat more of the turning nerves off w/Botox alone.
Suppose you're someone who identifies as a member of an activist group. Your goal is to spread ideas. You can't control the spread of a shared tweet but you can control the comment thread by voting en masse. Every popular tweet is then accompanied by top-ranking comments that your group controls.

It's easy to blame this on imperfect technology but I'm not so sure. Couple of months back when all tech companies started their holier than though publicity campaigns with token actions we faced the same issue.

"Blacklist" was banned as term because it was deemed racist. No matter that people understand black and white outside the race issue.
So if blacklist is deemed by people , not technology, as racist; thus removing context from the equation, why is AI wrong to assume that "attack the black soldier in C4" is hate speech?
Since when ideas have nationality?
I will relate my personal experience (take from it what you will).

Around 2017 I was ~100kg when I started a keto diet which excluded basically all carbs except for what is present in green vegetables, and ate more than 50% of calories from fat. Didn't control calories, just ate as much as I felt like but making sure I would still be in ketosis (used blood tests to check). I lost 5 to 6 kgs very quickly (mostly water weight) then the weight loss reduced drastically to .1 or .2 kg a week. On the other hand my BP was sky high (went even higher than before) and I got kidney stones (never happened before, and not an experience I would wish on anybody).

I quit the diet after a month and went back to eating normally. In January 2021 I was still 100kg, I started on a vegan whole foods, zero added fats/salt diet. I eat whole carbs, fruits and vegetables, but most of the calories come from carbs (yes pasta). Unlike the keto diet, after a couple of weeks the cravings stopped and it's easy to eat in a caloric deficit while feeling full because the food is way less calorie dense. I dropped 30kg in 6 months, for me the diet is easy to be on and my BP dropped to normal levels (120/80) without medications.

Again, this is just a personal experience, but my advice would be: 1) talk with a doctor/dietitian before changing your diet, especially if you have health issue, (2) don't assume because you see testimonials of things going flawless with one approach that the same will apply to you (3) keep things monitored

Various ideas, i don't know what Helion are planning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

Touched on here: https://www.euro-fusion.org/news/alternative-fusion-concepts...

The diagram from Helion on that page makes it look basically like a two-stroke petrol engine: a magnetic field compresses the plasma, which then fuses, and the energy pushes back against the field, doing work. I'm not sure my intuitions about lawnmower engines really carry over to fusion reactors like that, though.
Could different water treatment be an issue? Maybe the chemicals don't get filtered out as well in the UK as in other countries.

In the end, antibiotics surely are part of the obesity pandemic. We give them to animals to fatten them, after all. But I see not reason why it has to be monocausal. There are a lot of chemicals that look problematic (to an interested lay person like me), for example phthalates, xenohormones, or even artificial sweeteners and seed oils. It's going to take a lot of work to investigate them all.

You forgot the board and the shareholders.
Yeah, quadratic voting is one of the potential solutions to this, but ultimately that removes the ‘fraud load’ by mostly moving it to another place, to number of accounts. That is arguably worse because it incentivises the malicious users to create as many accounts as there are votes so as to not be subject to quadratic voting (1 vote = 1 energy point equivalency only holding at one vote), and it’s substantially harder to deal with user account fraud than vote fraud.

The goal is to minimise the fraud load and make whatever fraud load you have applied against the strongest parts of your system. It’s like designing a castle except with incentives - it has to fail gracefully and still be functionally successful even in failure.
I am dubious that flexible circuitry is needed to make flexible things...

When you can pack millions of transistors into the size of a grain of sand, why can't you just embed that grain of sand into a sheet of rubber to make your smart flexible things?

All that's really needed is a good way to electrically connect a flexible and a non-flexible thing without repeated bending breaking connections.

Perhaps. Or perhaps it's groups of people that are fundamentally flawed.

Which would break a significant number of use cases of reddit.

Whatsapp groups have no voting, typically pretty limited numbers of participants but can be hot flaming piles of garbage and a huge source of misinformation spreading around the world.

Same thing happens right now across the Danube, in Romania (I'm Romanian myself).

It doesn't affect any political parties directly but two of the media entities that strongly favour DB-like parties here have been suspended/have had their traffic coming from FB drastically reduced, cue the complaints and the cries of "Facebook is censoring us!". I have no sympathy for them whatsoever, one of the reasons being that they were actually cheering on Facebook (and Twitter) actively censoring one side of the US political debate late last year.

>What would the better version be?

in my opinion?

Forums with mature community and competent moderators.

Forums have way better model for discussions - better than fb, reddit, hn, twitter.

Discussions on forums can last weeks / months, meanwhile on reddit/hn when thread drops from front page and then 20 hours pass, then comment section under thread is dead.

But it doesn't scale
There has been somethink kinda like that, just not long term orbit:

The other nuclear powers did not like it and it was scrapped. Not to mention that even if you might get the first shot this way, there will almost certainly be retaliatory strikes back on you.
I'm wondering about the same thing. To me, Reddit feels more like it emphasizes communities. While Twitter is more about the cult of personality, and not too centered around community. Also, on Twitter it's much easier to get to another social bubble by accident (just see some random tweet in the feed, and here it goes). On Reddit, you are much more likely to stay within your chosen subreddits (unless you look at the most popular, news, etc.)
the web counter still works
People with sedentary lifestyles were common in the 1900s as well, well above the 1% of the population that suffered from obesity. People with sedentary lifestyles have also tended to have more access to food, again with no corresponding explosion in obesity.

Also, agricultural output is not directly related to human consumption, past some base. So again, there may be second order effects on known causes of obesity (food and exercise) but if those are already controlled for, we are only left with unknown factors.

Regarding altitude, they do mention in a future article that California seems to be an exception, but that may be explained by California's drinking water being in a separate watershed than surrounding states. I don't know enough geography to know if this is accurate or not.

Edit: here is the quote from III:

> It’s important to note that altitude itself doesn’t affect obesity directly. Instead, altitude is a proxy for how high an area is in the watershed, which is itself a proxy for how badly the local water supply is contaminated. This is why Mississippi is more obese than low-lying areas of California. In California the water supply hasn’t traveled nearly as far in its path to the ocean, and has traveled past fewer farms, highways, cities, and factories.

... or as HN modfilter originally tried to correct: "Why Web Filters Don't Work: Tone and the Scunthorpe Problem"
Yeah. This is something you can do only when the outputs of a fusion reaction are mostly charged particles moving quickly. If most of the energy comes out in neutrons, as in deuterium-tritium fusion which most fusion reactor attempts are using, you have to run the resulting energy through a heat engine to produce electricity.
It’s not going to match because it’s different data from a different ML model visualised in a different way. Weird that you’d expect it to.

> We thought employees would use our app because it’s innovative, but they mostly use it because they really need the money. This came as a surprise to us.

I'm having real difficulty working out how this could possibly have come as a surprise, of course people are using your pay advance app because they really need the money. Why else would someone take an advance on their pay?
I don’t believe options are legal compensation. In the US RSUs are becoming more common than they used to be for startups and something like that might be OK.

that is a very good point and I don't know why you're being downvoted for it.

still, is the business freely deciding not to associate with the person, or is the mob forcing the business hand?
Yeah I thought the same thing re communities, it's a super important aspect and gives you some of the.. social geography you get in the real world. Tgat and the personal, per-community moderation.

I've struggled with this quite a bit. My current employer initially hired me for a less senior position than the one I applied for... and then promoted me to the one I applied for within 2 weeks of me starting the job. I think a lot of that is because they didn't consider my side-project experience (especially the ones I did before my first dev job) as valuable whilst it actually contributes significantly to my capabilities as a developer.

> - Voting systems don't matter at all, including pseudo-voting like "likes" and "shares" counters

I'm a little torn on this. I can see them as useful or damaging. I quite like HNs which doesn't support the chasing of karma per comment too precisely. Not perfect, but none of the solutions are really.

> A person that's a total asshole on YouTube can also be very professional at work, and polite to their friends. A person that's communicating constructively on HN may do the opposite on Twitter. In all these cases, the enforced standards differ.

Indeed, I know I write very differently here to reddit, and differently on different subs. Just as in real life.

The timely side is I think very important, as this keeps the overall view of the place looking as you want it. On that side, I think rapid deletion is a very useful tool.

Something I liked about the casualuk approach is that there's a fast forgiveness as well. A one day ban and comment deletion is simple, obviously impactful but not actually harmful and there's no long lasting "negative" score for people to aim for (or feel like it means they become outcasts).

Moderation has its problems, and maybe there's a better approach, but it's much harder to "game" an active person with a stake in keeping a place nice.
Yea, I'm Trinidadian, and even though my accent has changed significantly from living in Canada for 7 years, people and especially voice recognition get confused by some of my speech patterns.

Example is that people always hear 50 when I say 30, because of how I pounce the "y". Anything ending in "th" or "ing" gets confused a lot by people who don't know me.

It's kinda funny to keep track of :)
When was the last time someone forked a programming language? (note: not a runtime, a language)

In practice the only kinds of languages you don't get locked in to are those with excellent interop with other languages. It's got little to do with whether the reference implementation is open source. Kotlin's lack of lock-in doesn't come from the fact that it's open source - that's nice but in practice most community contributions are small. It comes from the fact that you can recode individual classes in Java if you so wish. And in fact, even convert Java to Kotlin automatically, if you're going the other way.

Also, lots of developers have written code in proprietary languages with a single vendor. It's HN groupthink to believe that nobody 'sane' does this. Look at ABAP, Apex or MatLab. All very widely used, even though you may not have heard of them. In the past Delphi was also very popular, and it's only recently that the C# compiler went open source.
I guess this just shows how backwards and racist Chess terminology is. It may have been fine back in the day, but I want my children to grow up in a world where Blacks and Whites aren't at war. The sides should be switched to much more neutral names, e.g. based on light - lumen/umbral or something based on trees - teak/mahogany. Obviously we should also replace "attack", "check" and "mate" with non-hate-speech - maybe "push", "jeopardy" and just remove "mate", as you can say the same thing by "I believe you have run out of valid moves to make and thus I win".

Not like this is without precedent - I remember back when pieces were said to kill each other and then it was replaced by "capturing". Come to think of it "capturing" as an objective is also rather problematic, maybe we should call it "liberating", since you're really returning these peasants who were forced to serve their king back to their homes.
We're already, today, looking back at the utter failure of multiple attempts to impose alternative economic models, and the horrific human costs in lives and poverty until they turned back to free market economics or a mixed public/private model to save themselves.
That's a good point, seems less enticing to a troll to rip into an anonymous username. Reddit's moved a bit in that direction in recent years, with full fledged profiles, user feeds, profile pics, etc.

Agreed on 100% of your points -- you've hit on some of the reasons I chose (and still choose) k0s -- Flannel is awesome but it's a little too basic (my very first cluster was the venerable Flannel setup, I've also done some Canal). I found that k0s's choice of Calico is the best -- I used to use kube-router (it was and still is amazing, great all-in-one tool) heavily but some really awesome benchmarking work[0] caused me to go with Calico.

Most of the other choices that k0s makes are also right up my alley as well. I personally like that they're not trying to ride this IoT/Edge wave. Nothing wrong with those use cases but I want to run k8s on powerful servers in the cloud, and I just want something that does it's best to get out of my way (and of course, k0s goes above and beyond on that front).

> The biggest reason for this is a core tenet of k3s - small size. k0s has taken the opposite approach here. 50mb vs 150mb is not really significant. But it opens up alternative paths which k3s is not willing to take.

Yup! 150MB is nothing to me -- I waste more space in wasted docker container layers, and since they don't particularly aim for IoT or edge so it's perfect for me.

k3s is great (alexellis is awesome), k0s is great (the team at mirantis is awesome) -- we're spoiled for choice these days.

Almost criminal how easy it is to get started with k8s (and with a relatively decent standards compliant setup at that!), almost makes me feel like all the time I spent standing up, blowing up, and recreating clusters was wasted! Though I do wonder if newcomers these days get enough exposure to things going wrong at the lower layers as I did though.

Same here. I just wanted to play with it for my toy projects and personal services, so I didn't really push a whole lot, but it just felt like there were too many moving parts to figure out. I didn't need autoscaling or most of the advanced features of k8s, so I just went back to my libvirt-based set of scripts.

Absolutely. There is no substitute to actually showing up and putting in the work. And you shouldn't be deterred just because you are not Elon Musk (or whoever the Elon Musk of boardgames would be).
My wife and I have reached an age (1 month apart) where death has become “when” rather than “if”. My mother, father, and three siblings have all died around an age I am rapidly approaching. My sister experienced a similar death to this, she was given only months to live. Others have died suddenly and without warning. My wife has already lost a brother.

So between us we talk sometimes about which of us will die first. Of the two of us my wife thinks I would manage best if left alone, I definitely think the opposite. Would we stay in the house we have lived in for 30 years? Should we move now into a place more suitable for one person? But what remains largely unspoken is the sheer pain we can anticipate in being left behind. Part of me would want to go first to avoid that, part of me wants my wife to avoid it. There is no good outcome.

So when I read this article I read between the lines. He says how much he will miss smiles and hugs from his wife. But I know he will be crying out in his heart for her grief, and the smiles and hugs she will be missing, not just now, but probably every day for years to come. And his children. And all who know and loved him.

It’s a personal thing, but I don’t think we will take anything with us, not even memories. And history will certainly not remember me. And I have written no books. So what do most of us leave behind? Only our place in the hearts of those who have known us, and how we may have, possibly inadvertently, affected their lives.

So TLDR – your footprint will be the shape of how you treated others.
