If the Nobel Foundation endorses a prize in his honor, then you can call it a prize in his honor, that doesn't mean you can call it a Nobel Prize. No Swede, nor any reputable newspaper or the Nobel Foundation would ever call it a Nobel Prize since it has never been recognized as one by the foundation, why would we call it that on HN?
>The framing makes me worry. Presumably the mainstream whiteish culture is, uh, not ethnic? In other words, white remains normal; the standard from which others deviate.

It's more metaphysical than this even: "white" is without place/particularity in the world; why don't we call "white" people "European-Americans"?

Edit: This is even more clear when we observe what is happening when it gets asserted that a "black" man is "white"/acting "white": the implication is that he is, from a certain perspective, attempting/pretending to divest himself of emplacement/particularity/historicity; he cannot then in any appropriate manner return to being "black", a particular, emplaced, and historical body (his white friends will say "he's not really _that_ black"; his "blacker" kindred will say he's "white", a "coon", etc.)

This is why the rationalist subject of the Englightnment and all the philosophical notions that derive from that notion, while technically independent of any concrete demographic, are nevertheless seen as inextricable, concretely, from whiteness, and not only for the Black community.

A part of the liberation of the Enlightenment for a positive, inclusive socio-political project lies in "re-emplacing"/"re-embodying" those bodies we designate as "white" rather than presuming a monopoly on the subject of the Enlightenment by "white" bodies.

This intellectual operation should be seen as similiar to that carried out by Paul of Tarsus: the subject of Christianity does not yet adopt a universalist posture, concretely unfettered to physical properties of the body, until Paul defies the original apostles and asserts that circumsision is no longer the qualification for being a follower of Christ; that is, the embodiement of gentiles need not be altered so as to be like Hebrew bodies (like Christ's particular, Hebrew body).

Is it? Not all calories are burnt equally by the human body, right? It seems that you are just trying to simplify something that it is easy to understand rather than scientifically sound.

It's not. That idea is obsolete and is very easy to prove.

Take patient A in a control room and make him eat 2000K calories a day. Take patient B into the exact same environment, eating the same calories.

Apply insulin shots only to patient B

Patient B will get fat, and patient A won't, eating the exact same calories.
California is finalizing a proposal to remove math tracking, permitting Calculus to be taken only in the senior year, and de-prioritizing Algebra as a goal of middle school. It is doing so under the theory that the above promotes white nationalist ideology in math education.¹

[1]: https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11...

It is notable that in a long multi-part document concerning racial justice, there is exactly zero mention of "Asian" but bountiful discussion on white nationalist ideology in math.

There are financial predictions which are akin to shaking the magic 8-ball or looking into your favorite crystal ball.

You would notice that it is quite commonplace.

These studies just reaffirm tribal and racial differences between Americans. If you were Russia or China, eagerly awaiting the strategic downfall of America (which can only come from within), you'd happily champion and fund these sort of studies.

If there is no difference in emissions between a nation that has no carbon pricing and a nation that does, then how do you measure the effect of carbon pricing?

If there is only a small difference -- a .5% change per year -- between a nation that has no carbon pricing and one that does -- then how can you argue that the effect of carbon pricing is more than a very slight increase in efficiency?

> I don't think you realize how much it costs to raise a child. The property taxes are nothing compared to what parents are spending, and amount of work every kid takes is enormous. You have no idea how much it is

Yeah, except having a child is a choice (Disgusting laws in TX notwithstanding), I have no choice in paying my taxes. That said, I don't ever gripe (nor would it even occur to me to gripe) about paying for other people's children's education or other things like that that my taxes go to pay for.

> I am not saying you have to support other people's children.

Except that's exactly what all childless people do, how do you think schools, child tax breaks, etc are funded?

> I'm just saying that when you grow old, you should make your own arrangements on how you fund your late years, because you probably count on "society" to support you, and this "society" would translate to "children of other people who I didn't raise"

This is an outlandish and straight up insulting statement. I'm not asking for a handout in any way to fund my "late years". That's what my 401K, IRA, SS, etc is for (though I have no expectation that SS will still be around by the time it's my turn to collect it, despite having contributed to it since I was 14). Pretending childless people are a drain on society when they fund your children is borderline delusional.
Either of your augments make no sense in any other contexts of people, and is only "acceptable" because it's men.

>It's difficult to land on any language describing a misogynist, sexist work environment without needing to consider the emotions of those who's participation is most important in confronting the issue.

Why should socially acceptable language be any different here? Do their emotions not deserve respect too? Where else can you say "well, there isn't a better word for it, so that's what we're calling them regardless of their feelings"

A "calories in vs calories out" mindset makes the (incorrect) assumption that for a given unit of food, all persons will absorb the exact same quantity of calories from it. Our digestive systems do not extract 10% of available energy from all consumed food, and the amount we do extract varies based on a number of different factors including microbiome, expression of certain hormones (e.g. insulin), etc.

The "magic" that people refer to with keto, etc is that some things can have effects that cause our bodies to absorb less of the calories that were put into our mouths.

This is one of many reasons why some people lose weight more readily than others given identical diets and exercise regimens.
it rarely leads to implementation as the make up of the EP is completely different to that of the Council

the Council sets the legislative agenda, and the Council consists of the member states governments

similar to how the US senate was before the 17th amendment
Also:

> A data structure is a linked list, a red-black tree, or another data structure.

Seems we have a recursive definition here
I don't know if it's true or not, but there is the thought that KETO also works by increasing the calories out.

Because the body uses glucose for fuel, if you only give it Fat and Protein, those calories must be converted to glucose before they can be used, resulting in a higher caloric burn than you would normally see.

The "new" science attracts plenty of citations and further development, otherwise it can't become mainstream. Sometimes this happens gradually after a first burst of recognition, sometimes suddenly.

Einstein's Nobel was for his work on the photoelectric effect, and specifically not for his relativity theories.
Historically, most farmers did this themselves. I don't think anyone would care if you did a few a year. You can probably do them with/for your neighbors as long as you don't charge. Wouldn't go about setting it up as a business.
For those not in the know on econ research (like me!) I believe this comment refers to the fact that Alan Krueger was deeply involved in this work, but that the Nobel committee only honors living scientists.

Did they make these changes to make room for this course? I know there's long been a movement to change priorities in math education to better meet modern needs.
Yeah, I've mostly lived in Boston MA and New York as an adult and I'm not religious. That said, even as a liberal if I have children they will not be educated in the United States. I'd happily move to France, Norway or Switzerland even if it meant taking a financial step down career wise.

There is some magic to keto though. It puts your body in a mode that explicitly burns fat for energy. As well, calories in calories out has an implication that all foods as equal. If you eat sugar directly in normally sold quantities, it's probably getting stored as fat [1], unless you're on a soda fast or something.

This made me laugh. The whole point of these courses is to interject a bunch of grievance-related biases. The history of blacks in america, the history of native americans and of immigrants are all very very major parts of american history in general and any decent american history course is going to cover them. These new courses are going to have all the academic rigor of a BLM press release.
Just for one example, when you have to get a form, and then submit the form, with the CSRF protection that was in the form... of course you COULD write that yourself by printing HTML and then analyzing it with C# (which triggers more requests to chromium I guess), but you're probably going to wonder why you are reinventing the wheel when you want to be getting on to the domain-specific stuff.
What you are indulging in here is the naturalistic fallacy, aka the is-ought fallacy. What's natural tells us nothing about what's good.

Tuberculosis is natural. Tooth decay is natural. If you believe what's natural is what's good, go hang out with people coughing their lungs out. Stop brushing your teeth. Refuse to take antibiotics. Have your next of kin let me know how long you survive in your immersion in utter facts of nature.

Similarly, if you think power over people is good, prove it. Send me all your money. Sign a power of attorney. I'm good, I promise.

(You also have a lot of fantasies about intrinsic goodness/badness. That may work in particularly Manichean novels involving wizards and whatnot. But please recognize that's the inside of your head leaking out, and not what's actually happening in the world.)
> It's something you do because you feeling compelled or called to do it, not because you spreadsheeted it and it makes sense. From an individual standpoint, having children almost never makes sense, but we all do it anyways and wouldn't give it up for anything.

Or was having children an inevitable consequence of sex? Only after achieving women’s financial independence and reliable, accessible birth control with no downsides would the true measure of how many children people (really, women) want. This has only been achieved relatively recently, but all statistics indicate the birth rate after women achieve the ability to fully control how many kids they have is far less than what it was when they did not have control.

> In some ways the answer is simple. Cultures that don't value having children (or having many children) tend to get replaced by ones that do.

I can agree with this, and posit that it is possible cultures that restrict women’s rights may replace ones that value women’s rights.
They are. Every calorie, if burnt, is burnt equally by the human body.

Now, whether they are burned or passed is another story.

But your body will never store a calorie when it needs to burn and it will never burn when it should store.

Every calorie ingested needs to be accounted for, either through work, waste, or storage.
So:

>Versions are only importable from tags (semver style)

Tags are mutable in git, which sometimes causes problems. Not that I think they had much choice here - git and tags are the de-facto community standard, they're just using it like everyone else.

>There is no NPM or PyPi like host, sources originate from code hosts

>Modules are prefixed with a domain name (avoid dep confusion)

Agreed, I like this quite a bit... but it comes with the significant risk of domain name or hosting changes. Github probably won't add the metadata to redirect your old module name to your new non-github name, for instance. I've watched several modules fight through this sequence, and the end result is always "can't do anything, contact your users yourself / hope they read the readme".

You win some, you lose some. In large part I think this part of Go modules is better than others'.

>Hashes are calculated on the module, it will fail if it is not correct

Nearly all lock-file-based dependency systems do this, Cargo included.

>GoProxy has a global transparency log (like a blockchain, but not) so that everyone is contributing and sharing hashes

Publishing a log now doesn't make it any safer tomorrow, it's purely about convincing you to trust them. This is precisely the same attack target as an NPM or PyPi. The same party hosts the tar'd source files + documentation + checksums: if it ever gets changed there, it's changed for everyone. Lock and go.sum files will only protect you from changes to your previously-known dependencies.

They've done a pretty good job making goproxy/gosum easy to run yourself, and you can skip past the goproxy and download directly from the module's owner (which is a domain name, which works great here), which mitigates this specific risk at least. But no, they're absolutely running a pypi, they just don't let repo owners make changes directly (only by committing changes, e.g. module revocation).
"But what if there was a way to build an interest graph for you without you having to follow anyone? What if you could skip the long and painstaking intermediate step of assembling a social graph and just jump directly to the interest graph?...And what if the algorithm that pulled this off could also adjust to your evolving tastes in near real-time, without you having to actively tune it?"

I have to say, Facebook has this working well for me. Their "Suggested for you" posts are 99% interesting to me. I have no idea how they do it.

This is a really good approach to a lot of difficult problems. I'd had this idea drilled into my head growing up of deciding carefully beforehand so you don't decide poorly in the heat of the moment, but somehow it hadn't occurred to me to apply it to the workplace. Could probably have saved myself a fair bit of stress this way.
These last few weeks was the first time I dealt with this process. App was rejected for reason 1, resubmitted, now there's a reason 2, which is they clearly didn't read the instructions how to continue, ok, resubmit with more instructions, and now rejected for reason 3. Resubmitted And finally passed. The reviewers were definitely not all applying the same rules/info. Released to prod and it had a major defect for 2/10 people. Dropped a minor update and it took ~48 hours for a review. REALLY frustrating.
I was thinking groups like the Mennonites and Jews widely persecuted in 19th century Europe who fled. Or my own ancestors, who fled the USSR.

That said, refugee isn't the wrong word to use for American loyalists who fled after the American revolution. Being a prominent loyalist made you persona non grata in the new United States of America. Forfeited property. A few were killed during and immediately after the war. Though most who stayed were absorbed soon enough and the whole ugly business forgotten about quite quickly.
The calorie-in/calorie-out model is most likely (almost certainly) not so overpoweringly important that all other aspects of dieting are minimized to the point that they are negligible.

That would mean the interaction of food choices and the hormonal system would be negligible, that the interaction between foods and the microbiome would be negligible, and the presence or lack of micronutrients is negligible.

Calorie count is definitely important, but to claim that any other components of the diet (food choice, timing, etc) are negligible is an incredibly strong claim with evidence building against it as metabolism is more thoroughly explored
I've built a ton of stuff with grid beam. I never drilled my own holes. For big stuff, like making office furniture [1], I buy "pre-drilled" aluminum beams from McMaster-Carr [2]. I would buy lots of long lengths, then cut down to the required size as needed. And years ago, I also "miniaturized" grid beam down to Lego-compatible, 3D printable components that I use for prototyping [3].

The grid beam book talks a lot about what you need to make beams from scratch. You don't have to do that. You can buy (or print!) beams and get to work right away.

Based on your percentages then, I think you mean most per unit time? So then, given three weeks far exceeds normal flight time (by more than 1/25%)...
If everyone had your attitude, humanity would have never left the trees. There are all sorts of legitimate reasons to take it slow on adding Rust to the kernel and adopting Rust generally. The language is far from perfect.

But "I don't want to learn something new"? No, that's not a legitimate reason.

But Christ almighty, you don't get to block progress of all humanity (and Linux is a humanity scale project now) because you're too lazy to learn some new syntax. Memory safety is important. Memory safety bugs cause billions of dollars of damage every single year. The project if solving them is too important to get tangled up in the weeds of people who don't have "resources" to RTFM.
It does. People can work through all that reasonably.
Hi there HN community :wave:

I'm Bryan and along with a close friend, we've built Workload.co

Workload is a low-code tool for business process automation.

We started out as consultants - automating various business processes for companies and charging them for our services. That was going well so we built a marketplace, similar to Upwork, where businesses could hire an automation specialist who could set them up on Zapier or Integromat and help them connect and integrate their tools, build workflows, etc.

The marketplace business model wasn't for us. Lots of cumbersome work and overhead to keep it running and it really drained our energy. We peeled back from that idea a bit and decided to talk to the automation specialists to ask them what their ideal automation tool would look like. They all had similar ideas: Low-code editor/workflow builder, uses the entire API of the common software tools, and allows for easy client/team collaboration.

So with that direction, we started building the tool using React on the frontend and a bunch of different python libraries + AWS lambda on the backend. We generally have no clue what we're doing and are not "professional devs".

We're at a point now where the version 1 looks ok, works ok (has bugs), and solves problems for a few basic customer use-cases. I'd love to have feedback on the tool. What should be added? Are we missing obvious things?

Please sign up and play around with it. Unfortunately you have to sign up because if you authenticate and connect any tools, it would be publicly visible if you weren't logged in. We aren't capturing any emails for marketing at the moment and our "free trial" is indefinite unless you actually build an automated workflow and it works for you...then I'll be reaching out to you and asking for a credit card ;)

Thanks to all and much love to this community for inspiring me to take this big leap into building software.

Cheers,

Bryan at workload.co
There are big questions about the amount of gravitas that mainstream economists are afforded by people in power.

Misnaming the econ prize as a "Nobel" prize and placing it's winners on the level of great physicists, chemists etc risks in exacerbating this problem.

Much of the research done by econ memorial prize winners is walked back or proven false later. It isn't hard science. Much of it is politically driven and advice and practitioners are used by politicians to justify certain actions, many of them dysfunctional or corrupt.
I like to imagine the following conversation taking place around 1968:

"There are some things money can't buy."

"Like what?"

"A Nobel prize, for example."

"We'll see about that."

> I don't want rust in the kernel. As a small time developer making a hardware product, the investment to understand the kernel and how to build drivers is already huge.

There's a crucial part missing: the investment [...] to build (memory) unsafe drivers.

I find it very troubling when memory unsafe language programmers don't weigh memory safety at all in their views.

(note that this doesn't necessarily refer to Rust; there's people who swear that one can build drivers also in Golang, so assuming that is realistic, the same reasoning applies)
This is a very valid point, but as a counter argument the technique implemented here could be adapted to help users with other needs like say, a browser extension that can help you navigate back and forward with the blink of an eye.
