> You see, the “server test” comes from the 9th Circuit, and is binding law in California, where most of the tech companies are.

This is a misunderstanding that has to stop: judicial opinions are not law! Judicial opinions represent a judge's interpretation of the law, and courts take such precedents into account, but precedent can be and is overturned. There are all manner of precedents that are clearly, absolutely wrong, and which have never happened to be reconsidered by another court in a similar case --- but that's no reason to allow yourself to be bound by them in your life. To change what is or is not legal, legislatures have to change laws.

The same, but less so, applies to mandates and orders issued by executive officials or agencies, at whatever level; they may be supported by law, but they are not themselves law, and since often the people making and enforcing those mandates and orders are not elected representatives, they do not have the authority that popular representation gives to actual laws.

For me, Apple lost the trust. So yes, I don’t not give Apple a benefit of the doubt on this one. The most generous explanation I could come up with is that this is an effort to introduce “good benefits” that could come from the surveillance. That’s of course my take on Apple corporate. I am sure the team within Apple, who is working on this, means well and kudos to them.
My anecdotal evidence backs this up. Since the pandemic started I've been doing a ton more cardio and my overall energy expenditure must be as high as it's ever been. I haven't adjusted my diet. But I'm the same weight I was before.

Also, I've known several obese people during my life who exercise. Some of them I would never even see eating but cycled to work every day and it's a mystery how they remain so large.

This further backs up what a lot of people already know: losing weight is mostly about eating less, not exercising more. Exercising is good but we should really break the association with weight loss. Most fat people I know who adopted exercise just ended up eating even more than they did before which is only going to have a negative overall effect.

Unfortunately, the idea of jogging and sweating in the gym is more glamorous and easier to sell than hunger.
Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that video game cheats are a billion dollar market.

I actually think there's a real unique and distinctive visualization caused by this decision. We're typically very geo-politically focused when we look to evaluate this sort information, but think about it without differentiating between land and ocean, without countries or borders. Think of nodes and edges in a graph, with the size/volume of edges weighing priority. Totally different way to view "earth".

What's the crux of your point here? I think you're imputing some wider meaning to what was actually a very simple point (i.e. saying that N people have no power, just because 1/N people can't individually make a difference, is like saying the electorate has no power over an election result because one of them can't change the outcome).

My wider point is precisely that people have personal responsibility for carbon emissions, in exactly the way you described. In the car example you gave, the "corporations are responsible for most of climate change!" argument would attribute the emissions involved in manufacturing your car to the corporation instead of you. It's a compelling argument until you think about it, in concrete terms like that, for even thirty seconds.
It happened so often even prior to 2014 that it was meme-worthy:

Not to take anything away from the guy - he's clearly gifted and hard working - but it's really not. As anyone that's ever seriously prepared for interviews (ie >200 problems on LC) will tell you there's just not that many distinct problem types and so you just send up solving variations of the same 30 over and over. No doubt sometimes the subtle difference is killer (and Gena has blog posts about some of those) but generally solving is just pattern matching.

I'm still skeptical, but think of them as digital goods that you own, and that can follow you across applications. If you collect items in a game, you can have them in another place too.

The metaverse pitch is that you can create economies around these that aren't constrained to a single application. I can make and sell cool art, and you can buy that art and put it anywhere - and it's yours, in a way that a downloaded PNG just isn't.

I think you're missing the insulin->carb cycle's effects, especially on people with metabolic syndrome issues.

Carbs break down to sugars which trigger the release of insulin. However, cells can become insulin resistant to varying degrees, causing their muscles and organs to reject the free-floating sugars in the bloodstream.

When that happens, your body fat gets to preferentially consume as much of the sugars as possible and then the kidneys filter out the excess. When this happens you end up with an undernourished body that doesn't process all of the calories in the food and that gains body fat preferentially to anything else.

That body fat then becomes a hormone regulator, affecting mood and energy levels even further.

There's so much that goes on in the body that isn't explained by calories in > calories out that, if not properly understood, can massively increase the difficulty of losing body-fat weight, (the body puts on fat over feeding its organs, the body doesn't get the nutrition it consumes to the cells that need it, the person is tired and eats too much to compensate, the list goes on I'm sure.)

Recognizing that not becoming overweight in the first place is the ideal solution, but failing that ideal solution the follow up isn't as simple as "don't eat so much" is a better approach to take. Medical science has not cracked the code yet, but I'm willing to bet that someday soon we will find a solution that breaks this cycle, and when we do obesity and overeating will drastically reduce so that only the people with mental or emotional overeating issues will remain in the obese category.

I think this comes down to what incentives we want in place. Do we only want smart people who are willing to sacrifice income for public service. Maybe that is the case and this is irrelevant.

I am not a fan of either company, but one sells thousand dollar phones to the global 1%, an the other provides services to 2B people, supporting infrastructure through ads.

The fact that one of these companies is considered evil and other other "the good guys who care about your data" blows my mind.

It's not like summaries have to entirely replace whole books.

Personally I have a library on my kindle that's too much for me to read in full, considering I'm constantly adding to it. I read a lot of books but good summaries strike me as an improvement for the cases where I either never get to a book, or just read its first several chapters.

For the books I do fully read, summaries could make for nice reviews. With some further development, it seems this technology could turn the summaries into quiz questions, which would really help lock in long-term learning.
Example ("The Great Gatsby"):

The narrator, a Yale graduate, moves to New York to learn the bond business. He meets Gatsby, a man from a wealthy Midwest family who attended Oxford. Gatsby invites the narrator to lunch and shows him his war medals.

Gatsby wants Daisy to tell Tom she never loved him and wants to go back to Louisville to get married as they had planned 5 years ago.

Mrs. Wilson is killed by a car that doesn't stop. Gatsby says he tried to stop Daisy from driving, but she couldn't, so he pulled on the emergency brake.

After two years, Nick remembers the police and photographers at Gatsby's house after his death.

On the last night, Nick looks at Gatsby's house one last time.

GNU coreutils 9 is released
A new major release, with these significant changes:

- cp has changed how it handles data
- enables CoW by default (through FICLONE ioctl),
- uses copy offload where available (through copy_file_range),
- detects holes differently (though SEEK_HOLE)
- This also applies to mv and install.

- utilities are more tuned to the hardware available
- wc uses avx2 instructions to count lines
- cksum uses pclmul instructions for --algorithm=crc
- Other digest tunings remain delegated to libcrypto

- More amalgamation of utilities
- cksum now supports the -a option to select any digest.
- This is the preferred interface, rather than sha*sum etc.
- This is similar to the amalgamation of encoding utilities
introduced in the basenc command in v8.31.

You are correct.

First, exercise. You cannot outrun your fork.
Exercise is essential to your health, your longevity, your quality of life, and your weight. No one can lead a good life without regular, healthful exercise. Everyone should find some activity that they enjoy doing so that they are motivated to do it regularly.
That said, hours of exercise calories can be eaten easily and mindlessly in moments. Bodies are evolved to survive in the wild and are very efficient. A handful of cookies can power you to walk for miles.

So, second, diet. Different kinds of foods affect you in different ways. Food composition is important to your metabolism on both a molecular and cellular level. Molecularly, you need specific nutrients for health. But, additionally, food affects you based on its cellular form. So, eating whole broccoli is more taxing for your body to digest. The whole plant fibers act as food for commensal bacteria. Sugars packaged in intact cell walls are absorbed more slowly, and produce smaller hormonal responses in the body.

The biggest problem everywhere are so-called highly-palatable foods. Candy, sweetbreads, soda, smoothies, white flour products, pop-tarts. These food-like substances come in what is effectively a partially digested state. Your body integrates their calories almost instantly. They feed festering bacteria rather than beneficial bacteria. Everywhere these foods are introduced, obesity is the result.

Current nutritional research is woefully inadequate. The best studies, controlled environment studies, are heinously expensive and impossible over the course of years. Furthermore, the provision of funds for nutritional research is primarily done by biased, interested parties, so much of it is colored by funding sources.

I invite you to examine the evidence presented by those such as Dr Greger: https://nutritionfacts.org/

And I encourage you to look into this yourself.

Of all the senators to look at you pick sanders? Senators are paid $174k a year and Sanders wears hand knit mittens.
This story goes into his wealth.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/24/bernie-sa...

>Bernie Sanders one day left City Hall and found a ticket on the windshield of his rusty Volkswagen Dasher. The offense: This was the mayor’s spot, and, surely, a cop had thought, this was not the mayor’s car. But it was. It matched perfectly with both Sanders’ image as a scrappy advocate of the little guy and his own shaky financial reality. It was the beginning of the 1980s, and he was approaching 40, a single father of a not-quite-teenage son, renting a sparse second-floor apartment and having a hard time keeping up with his bills. “Not only,” he wrote on his yellow, coffee-splotched legal pads kept in archives at the University of Vermont, “do I not pay bills every month—‘What, every month?’—I am unable to …” His scribbles in barely legible cursive in the margins read like reminders and afterthoughts: “gas,” “light,” “water.”

He was, said Bruce Seifer, a friend of Sanders, an economic aide in his administration and one of many people who know him who told me this, “frugal.” Seifer paused and considered the right way to put it. “That’s a nice way of saying he’s a cheap son of a bitch.”
This certainly matches my anecdotal experience. For me the weight-loss benefits of more exercise were far more to do with lowered apitite and improved sleep than they were burning calories.
One side interesting thing we did for pricing is unlock features for people paying yearly over monthly. No discounts for paying yearly. I've often wondered if those small discounts (especially for the amount of money we're charging right now) would really make an incentive for people to pay upfront. In a few cases people have paid upfront to unlock the additional feature (only one feature is held back right now - maybe more in the future). Mentioning this in case anyone wants to steal this idea.
The skepticism is not well motivated when it’s clearly a health feature. There is far more valuable information already on phones without everyone stopping using them as is. It feels like sensationalism designed for clicks, which seems to be the Achilles heel in today’s society.

> This is correct, it's for increasing _throughput_ in concurrent scenarios.

I believe you mean the exact opposite. It decreases latency (because task B isn't blocked waiting for task A to complete) but it does so at the expense of decreased throughput. The context switches add overhead. If you just synchronously run A then B, the overall time would be shorter (higher throughput) because of less context switching overhead.
I think you're doing a disservice to the dissenting voices. Sure, some of it is probably jealousy due to missing out in MaSsSiVe GaInZ but I think there's a lot of room to say that something is a bad idea regardless of whether you have a stake in it.

I own some Bitcoin I mined myself in the early days. By luck or stupidity, I lost it for years and then found it in an old backup and now it is worth a number that would afford me a healthy retirement if I could get over my analysis paralysis. But I still think Bitcoin, as it embodies the idea of "crypto currency," is a terrible idea as a store of value, as an impact on our planet's environment, and as financial policy.

I feel the same way about housing policy (I own a house in Seattle), about transportation (I used to own two cars, but now none), about tax policy (I benefit greatly from Washington State having no income tax and relying mostly on flat-rate taxes that don't take up much of my income), and several more. Even though they're personally good for my family and me, they're terrible for the society at large and we have to live in a society so I'd like something better.

So, yeah, I think it's a bit reductive to distill the dissenting voices on HN down to "well, they didn't buy and hodl so they're just grouchy."
Use an alternative DNS server, Firefox/Brave/Ungoogled Chromium, uBlock Origin, and disable JavaScript everywhere you can possibly help it.

> killfiles were not shared amongst users.

My friend, usenet KILL files were absolutely shared. I ran a usenet NNTP server back in the day. There were many killfiles shared and usenet admins could also institute certain kinds of blocks. See http://www.kibo.com/kibokill/
Diet plans can be useful for a period of time, but they usually aren't practical to keep up forever without an amount of discipline 99% of the population doesn't possess. As someone who lives a primarily fasting focused lifestyle and eats primarily ketogenic foods, I realized it just wasn't practical, desirable, or better to live that way 24/7/365. This is because it's fallacious to believe that the human body, a body that developed to depend heavily on glucose in a food scarce world, is meant to only eat one small category of foods all the time, or that every human body developed to utilize nutrients in the same way.

People also just like to blow things out of proportion and go to extremes. Can't have any carbs or you'll be out of ketosis! Can't have that lemon juice in your water or you'll be thrown out of your fast! Yes, people do believe those things despite never having actually tested those theories themselves.

If there's one nearly universal "rule" I've learned about nutrition and weight loss (both of which I am obsessed with), it's that most approaches have a benefit at a hormetic level. Vegan diets, paleo, Mediterranean, keto, South Beach, potato famine, fasting, etc., all can work but all can also detract when pushed beyond a threshold. Hell, even a certain amount of sugar in one's diet is perfectly fine and has a benefit at its hormetic threshold.

The same can be said of exercise. Exercise has benefits, but it's often highly overrated. The primary benefits can be achieved at an incredibly low level. You don't need to run on a regular basis or lift heavy weights unless you enjoy it and find a benefit. To go beyond a certain point means compromising the longevity of your joints, providing negative feedback to your psychology rather than positive, overloading your CNS, and having elevated levels of cortisol.

In fact, for people trying to lose significant weight, anything beyond walking is likely to be a waste of time until they reach their target. Exercise is not an efficient way of burning calories compared to simply not eating those calories, burns more glycogen than fat most of the time (unless you really elevate your heart rate), and raises cortisol which is counter to burning body fat. Worse yet, many people go to the gym after work because they either need to lose weight or think that they've "just got to", but raising cortisol in the evening is usually counter to getting quality sleep or getting to sleep on time. If you don't get good sleep, you're detracting from getting to a better body fat percentage and staying there.
