You start with the null hypothesis. If consumption of substance X increases significantly but there is almost no evidence of a significant increase in the cancer rate over that time period then you have a large hill to climb out of in terms of proving causality. Cancer rates over the past 100 years have been mostly dropping. If aspartame really was what some claim then I would expect to see a bump like the one you see in lung cancer starting in the late 40s and climbing hard and fast up until the late-80s/early-90s whereupon it the rate turns negative and starts dropping fast.

Both your personas are oddly constructed and not really representative of a political quadrant with state-individual empowerment on the vertical access and state backed private property on the horizontal.

Free speech, reduction of private property, dissolution of centralized state and wealth redistribution are all very classic bottom left (anarchist) principles for instance.

I would think anyone below the center line vertically (so anarchists to free market libertarians) would support what you call “cancel culture” since is a powerful form of direct action.
When I was an intern there was this old dude who had an ancient computer with the same Debian on it for like 7 years. He never got excited about new stuff, and just didn't want to break anything. I thought that was kind of funny and un-hip, back then, but now I'm like that. It's like Dad OS. :)
And that's why I love so much NestJS and its code first approach.

Not the parent but from my own experience having had companies in many countries: Spain was by far the hardest and most confusing. I only had companies (4) in Andalusia, so I cannot comment on other regions; where other countries are quite logical and I am usually able to reason with the tax auditors, in Spain it was hostile and most accountants, lawyers and gestors basically told us, time and time again, to just relax and do many illegal things as you will lose boatloads of money I'd you do not. However, I like sleeping at night as do my partners so with did everything by the book and it was extremely painful to do so. There are rules on rules on rules, deducting business costs are hard if not impossible etc. And you need help for everything: in Spain there is an industry called Gestors who are not accountants but people who help navigate the bureacracy. The Spanish use them as well and there are many all over the place. So you pretty quickly find out things work if you are a tiny company (autonomo) and just don't declare any tax (put it in your matress), hire people by paying them cash etc. Or you need to be a large corp with lawyers, accountants etc to navigate things efficiently. In between you mostly just get misery. I sold and closed the companies and the people that bought them since then burnt out and quit or just adopted what my Spanish friends call 'the Spanish way', which is, quite simply basically running almost fully illegally: having a 'broken' PoS all the time (so people have to pay cash), using black funds to pay people and goods and just showing losses all the time (paying only the autonomo social security and nothing more). I would find it impossible to sleep as I simply cannot accept the thought of the Guardia stomping down the door in a few years. My friends tell me I worry too much about nothing... maybe; I would never do it again.

Good to know is that Spanish taxes can go back 4 tax years which equates to about 5 years. This is shorter than most countries I did business in.

I take issue with this, frankly. Aspartame seems to be particularly popular in the USA (diet sodas), and less popular the further away you go.

It's used in other stuff, sure, but most products outside of the USA just use sugar or corn-syrup-based sweeteners. I don't think anyone in my circle of family or friends has had a diet soda in decades, save for exactly one individual who drinks a lot of diet drinks.
Looks like you're only going to get anti-masker talking points. Heat dissipation? Social stigma? WTF?

Observing my kids and their friends (preschool to late elementary), everyone wears a mask, no complains about it, and they all play together just fine. It's probably because the adults act like adults and we don't whine about how life is so unfair that things might have to change because of a pandemic.
> and since you need to repartition to create standard Linux partitions anyway

If it's possible to do this in APFS (not sure), the installer could do something similar for APFS to what WUBI does for NTFS: fallocate(2) a contiguous-disk-block single-extent file inside the APFS volume, write the rootfs into it, and then configure the bootloader entry's kernel params with the APFS container+volume and the path to the file within the container.

In this setup, linux-apfs would then only need to work well enough to expose that file's single extent's raw-block-device offset during early boot; then the initramfs script could unmount the linux-apfs volume and mount the ext4 rootfs directly from the block device at that offset.

Yes, it's almost the same as resizing the disk smaller — but it's at least a less-"permanent" change, in the sense that deleting the rootfs file from macOS would give the space back, without needing to know to re-grow your macOS APFS container.
Inheritance I wouldn't care about because there's nothing I can do to change what I inherit. Lottery I'd probably care about, though. I've always looked down on people who buy into lottery but I think if I saw someone close to me win big I might feel like I missed out for not playing. It's a good comparison because I remember the early years when his business success was really far from certain - he bought a lottery ticket that was probably worth several hundred thousand dollars in the first years (income he would've easily made if he'd been an employee instead of being a business owner without any customers).
146 messages in that bug thread. Wow.
How could one come to the conclusion to be nihilistic? They would need to experience enough, and then say "the meaning of all the events of my life led to believe there is no meaning".
So, to come to that conclusion is a paradox, because reaching that conclusion is done through assigning "no" meaning.
The actual number is much higher. Amazon doesn’t publish all their IP addresses in that json, only the ones in use. They have almost double the IPv4 addresses, ie quite a bit reserved for future use. See https://toonk.io/aws-and-their-billions-in-ipv4-addresses/in...
I think the web people have the right idea. If it hurts, do it more often [1], right?

I've used Debian for a long time (edit: on servers), but the short (and in some cases getting shorter) release cycles of popular projects like Chromium and Rust have got me wondering if Debian just moves too slow. I'm tempted to try using Fedora as a container base image and see if it's practical to keep up. Edit: I guess Fedora is no worse than Alpine if you actually update to each new major release quickly, since they both release every 6 months.

You're missing something.

A person can recognize reality while knowing it should be different. Recognizing the need for something to be different is the first step in it becoming different.

Learn to read the OP's sentence as "A person should not be a soulless resource..." - that is often what is meant.
No but about 80% of adults are vaccinated and about 70% in Canada support vaccine passport.

So there isn’t much wiggle room. Unless a good swath of the unvaccinated support vaccine passports….
People do not use Linux Desktops because it is the ultimate comfort experience (it is not), but because they developed an awareness about how important FREEDOM is.

They use Linux _despite_ some technical problems that exist because they want full control of their OS.

Mostly these people know very well that there are shortcomings, also many of them know other computer systems very well and _still_ they use Linux because they feel it is an important choice.

I feel a little bit ashamed that I have to explain this on a website called "hacker news" because that original "hacker spirit" is what is driving most Linux users.

Your position is pure consumerism - fat cat wants everything _now_ and is not willing to think about consequences. Modern surveillance *ism, destruction of our planetary resources and fascism are all build on that mindset.
It's diminishing returns right after you have fuck you money to live in reasonable luxury afterwards, e.g. you can travel as much as you want, order food in, buy latest tech widgets etc without having to ever work again.
No but a judge can hold you in contempt if they believe you aren't basically being a genuine jury member. So lets say slavery was legal and you found it immoral. Youre in a court case over a slave that ran away. You want to find the assumed slave as not guilty because you're an abolitionist. A judge will hold you in contempt because you didn't follow the law that slavery was legal.

That's how stupid the system is. It's intentions initially were good, but nowadays it's really just made it apparent that it was for protecting affluent aristocrats from the government. Not to promote freedom for the citizens.

South African sailors who spend more than 183 days outside the country also don't pay income tax, but they usually are still tax resident: The first million Rand of employment income earned outside South Africa is exempt. But independent contract and investment income is still taxed.

And I'm pretty sure our law was based on laws in other countries, like the UK.
Not only that, but no one (or perhaps we can say for decorum's sake, nearly no one) really cares about the truth. > We care about what we like and we want it to win against what we dislike; all the rest is rationalization.

This is a bleak, valueless and ascientific view of the world. It took a while for me to process it. It is consistent with the postmodern post-truth zeitgeist of tribalism and power being the only thing that matters.

> Moderating HN has really hammered that one into me as well. Such is human nature, and trying to moderate against it would be futile, not to mention a fast track to burnout. I've tried, and have the scars.

I can very clearly see why moderating HN would cause you to adopt this view. It’s interesting because it really doesn’t match the sense of who you are as you come across in your comments.

My own view is that we are not in such a bleak world. Meaning structures are shaped by media and we are only a decade or so into the era where media has become social. This is such a monumental and unprecedented change that it’s bound to appear that there is no up or down for a while.

I think it’s transient, and doesn’t reflect a universal truth about human nature.

For one obvious contradiction - can you think of anyone who actually prefers the idea of a valueless ascientific world? If so, who, and why?
Similar story here, 3rd engineer, one of the first employees, during seed funding. I didn’t know anything about how equity worked. Company got acquired for 9 figures after I left the company after almost four years, I made a year’s salary windfall which was nice. The feeling of being taken advantage of remains and still burns a hole in me despite quite a lot of therapy and time.
They very probably are. Still, you're exposing your taste buds to sweetness all day, which can mess with your perception of taste.

Plus, it just tastes worse. I'd much rather have a single sugar-containing soda on the weekend, or after finishing some hard physical labor, than liters of diet soda every day.
It means nothing that it will be released in a month. Because new software goes into unstable first, then is promoted to testing and only then to stable. So even if the next LTS release would have been released a month ago, it certainly wouldn't have made it into debian stable.
Fruits contain dietary fiber and potassium. Both are nutrients Americans tend to consume not quite enough of [1,2]. Both help to mitigate the physiologic disorders (hypertension [3], diabetes [4]) associated with sugar consumption [5]. In addition, fruit contains vitamin C, which reduces uric acid [6]; the detrimental effect of fructose on hypertension is thought to be mediated by uric acid [5]. Consumption of fruits, even moderate amounts of juices, is associated with reduced risk of CVD [7].

And that's exactly why the "great unification" doesn't make sense.
Right - straight lines require iterated translation without rotation; spirals are just the result of iterated translation + rotation. Generally to make something grow straight you need a feedback mechanism to correct for rotation, or spirals will result. Like driving a car in a straight line requires steering inputs; if you just hit the gas and hold the steering wheel steady, the car will go into a spiral.

Similarly spirals show up when phenomena emerge in a vector field (like water running down a plug hole or a tornado) because the one field configuration with radial flow around a point (with curl of zero) tends to be unstable, and without correction, curl tends to arise.

In effect, the absence of spirals is exactly the evidence of design and intent that the author was looking for. That the ancient pyramids don’t twist as they grow taller is what tells you they were constructed with intent, rather than by a natural process.
This is a big lebowski quote about nihilism.

"Ulle doesn't care about anything, he's a nihilist." "Ooh, that must be exhausting."

Definitely a good movie to watch if you are interested in nihilism. (Spoilers) Nothing matters in that movie.
I mean, wouldn't a true nihilist simply not care to spread awareness of their position?

Maybe there are plenty and they just don't give a shit.

I think the difference lies in the visibility of each system in typical use. Apple's local scanning remains invisible to the user, in contrast to cloud uploading.
There's also an increasing shortage of rational thought.
I fully think in this case they deserve the win. They worked hard, took risks, invented something that solved real problems, and have been executing flawlessly on it. I don't feel like it's an unfair win, I'm just wondering if I'm playing the right game.

While I'm all for IPv6 - there's precious little about v6 that's easier.

On top of that, there's a whole lot of software that either doesn't support v6, or has major problems.
The problem with explanations for Haiti's poverty that use events from the 1800s is that Haiti had a GDP per capita as high as South Korea until the mid-1960s, and as high as China's until the mid-1970s. Even as high as Vietnam until 2010 - I visited Vietnam in 2010 and it was quite poor but overall quality of life seemed relatively decent considering and you could see signs of development and progress. Vietnam's GDP per capita has more than doubled since then.

It's odd how Haiti had the same GDP per capita as now up-and-coming Vietnam just 10 years ago and yet most of the explanations for why Haiti's a hopeless basket case are citing events in the 1800s.

There is a lot of reason for having different UIs to start with, between a tablet and a laptop or even a desktop computer. Though I think productivity could be better on the iPad in this regard too.

But the very basic problem is file handling. It somehow seems to vary across apps. Some have local storage to themselves which is hidden from everyone, some have visible local storage, others support files/iCloud. While files can be cumbersome on its own, if at least all apps would share the data in a way accessible by files, it would be a start.

Best example which keeps bugging me: music. I ripped my CDs into my iTunes library and consequently into Apple Music. Now, Apple Music decided to delete some of my tracks from its library. How to get them back? I even was able to put them into my iCloud drive, but there is no way to add music to your iPad this way. Is there any other way you can add tracks to Apple Music? Is there any way to cause iTunes, which still has all of them, to upload them to Apple Music again (never mention that I do need my Mac for that, destroying the notion of the iPad being stand-alone).

Same situation with videos. How to copy videos from iCloud onto the iPad apps? And of course, none of these apps open something like an "open file" mechanism.

I quite like my iPad Pro. But I never figured out, how to really "do" things with it. The only positive exception seems to be the "Working Copy" git client, which enables some apps to be used productively.

Not all adversities are immediately lethal, but many will kill you eventually if you don't adapt.

Anyway It's not necessarily the surviving the immediate disaster that's evolutionarily selected for. No adaptation is going to make a human volcano or tsunami proof. It's the survivors piecing a viable way of life back together in the aftermath that matters.

Depends on the age of the macbook. Older models have reasonable support, newer models are (at best) a pain in the ass.

I generally hit the arch wikis with specific models for the best information.

This github repos also does a good job laying out current support for the 2016 models. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

Frankly, I haven't tried on a newer model then that - I don't buy apple hardware anymore.
This is a little off topic but EU4 completely got ruined with the last DLC. And this isn't another annoying complaint, universally on steam people despise it. It's the lowest rated item on steam. It's dramatically slower compared to when ticks were lightning fast several years ago. Buggy and broke the balance of the game ridiculously.

Ever since paradox stopped focusing on performance of their games and just said "add more features, who cares about speed!" I stopped playing. A full EU4 campaign at 4-5 speed should take at most, 80-200 hours. Not double that because I gotta wait for ticks because they added an absurd amount of additional checks.
It seems pretty clear that something in all this is really bothering you. That's reasonable, but do you suppose there might be more effective ways, than shotgunning insults across a comment thread, to try to work out why it gets to you so?
I wouldn’t expect that from 1960’s mainframes. In cases where ingestion and outputting of decimal numbers could be a bottleneck, they would be programmed in COBOL, with a compiler using BCD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal) to store numbers.

Also, x87 has/had the FBLD and FBSTP instructions that can be used to convert between floating point and packed decimal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_BCD_opcode)

If these still are supported, I doubt Intel or AMD spend lots of effort making/keeping them fast, though.
Which would mean "most of the features is contains remain “static” and unchanged" and being able to cache will be just as valuable to you as it is to OpenStreetMap.

And, for the record, OpenStreetMap is not static. An enormous number of changes arrive to OSM daily from mappers all over the world making changes to keep the map up to date.
