This diet is hard to follow because yeast cuts through a lot of foods, especially in fermented foods as you've mentioned. A non-exhaustive list of yeasty foods looks like: Non-distilled vinegars, non-distilled alcohols, dried fruits, naturally-fermented soy sauce, cheese, many savory packaged goods, most vegan meat replacements, some dried spices, bread, etc.

Fermented foods and mushrooms can be good at fighting cancer precisely because they ramp up the immune system. In fact yeast is used as an adjuvant inside of vaccines for this purpose.

What's insane is that it is both known and not known that yeast causes inflammation by science. Used as adjuvant, used to "boost" immunity, yet not understood to be a cause of general low-grade systemic inflammation when in our food supply.

My uncle moved to SF in the early 2000s and died in May 2020 on Eddy St. Even before he became "homeless" he just did drugs all day and thought the world owed him something. He had a college degree and everything, worked white collar jobs, but decided he liked heroin more than that stuff, so he moved to the Tenderloin. Lack of housing wasn't part of the equation, it was the lifestyle that drew him.

I don't know, I think it's pretty easy to ask questions for this during an interview process even if you have those "champions". Just ask "what are the current pain points and things that can be improved about the company?" If they give an honest answer then take it at face value. If they just bullshit you by talking around the question or flipping the question and talking about a "good problem to have" then you probably don't want to work there.
> I think it demonstrates that the average voter’s views on economics are more or less worthless.

Poli-sci research is depressingly consistent in demonstrating that the average voters' views on everything are worthless. It's amazing the system works at all, even for very generous values of "works".

Research on voters' understanding of issues, and of the world, largely amounts to a less-funny version of that thing where a late night show has someone go out and get people to give incredibly stupid answers to easy questions.
As a life-long Firefox user who has been increasingly angry with Mozilla's direction for the browser for the past ten years, I honestly don't know how developers like you could put up with it.

Trashing an entire swathe of extensions - hundreds of thousands of man-hours of work - and then making breaking changes in nearly every subsequent version after that... it's precisely why I've never even considered making a browser extension. It would be pure hell.
Exactly. Which means that it's intentional to leave this relatively meaningless, more posturing and a slap on the wrist instead of an actual punishment for the people involved.

If they really wanted to stop this kind of activity, they'd sanction the individuals involved. This would deter others from forming a successor - would you accept an extremely well paid job if there was a risk that the US will put you on its official international shitlist for that?

It's a common misconception that people experiencing homelessness are all junkies, but it's not true. A large number of homeless people are working poor. Estimates vary from 25% all the way up to 60%. If you sleep in your car because you're priced out of an apartment and you have a job, you're still homeless. Not everyone that's homeless has a needle in their arm, shouting at traffic on the street.
Yep. DecisionDesk shows GOP got 32,682 whereas the incumbent DEM got 30,352 with 96% in.
Smith has some good arguments and incomplete arguments. Since anyone can read the article for the good arguments, I'll note a few of the dubious and incomplete ones:

A) When talking about deregulation, Smith looks at laws, but he should be looking at agencies even more. Agencies after all do most of the day-to-day regulation. How can Smith seriously ignore things like appointing Anne Gorsuch to head the EPA in 1981? At the beginning, Reagan nominations were known for their hostility to regulation, and Smith would have done better to check whether this was actually true.

B) Arguing that Soviet military expenditure wasn't a big deal because they spent more in WW2 is crazy. Smith is comparing a peace-time spend to a total war spend!

C) Oil's role in USSR's collapse is well-known. Well known enough to have claims by Reagan partisans that he convinced the Saudis to keep prices low to pressure the USSR. Is this right? Very debatable. But it's directly related to the thesis of the article and Smith completely ignores this.
I mean, if you don't consider the fancy structure, it's pretty doable for cheap. GG

>Quite a few of them can be solved with an up-to-date HD map (missing lane marking, construction zones, 1-way streets)

How do you keep these maps up to date in NYC when lane markings, construction zones, traffic flow, construction and a variety of other things are constantly changing on a daily basis? How do you deal with the ubiquitous "traffic cops" who stand in the center of many intersections and arbitrarily wave traffic in different directions?
Every chip company is misleading to some extent when using benchmarks (lying with statistics and all that).

I’m especially seeing this in AI chip comparisons with startups trying to boast about their incredible performance multipliers over the competition with toy networks or playing around with impractical accuracy metrics and batch sizes.

It depends on how you count, but I can say someone in my house is in near-continuous possession of illegal drugs (cannabis). So there’s one felony. Then maybe I bypass paywalls (potentially a CFAA violation) scrolling through the morning news. And then maybe I jump through a closing train door, which I’ve been warned before is considered “interfering with a railroad’s operation.” So there, three felonies before I’m in the office.
That makes sense for most. For me, I can have my TOTP app running on my laptop all the time. Looking around for my phone is higher friction.

Hiring DBA or a developer for a school is extremely inefficient use of the budget.

Good. Too many politicians run unopposed and take reëlection for granted. This how you get more responsive governance.

Very nice!

The very, very related thing I found myself wishing I had just today is the ability to destructure discriminated union fields which only exist on one component type of the union.

As an example, with the following type system:

type Output = OutputExists | OutputDoesntExist;
interface OutputExists { exists: true, url: string };
interface OutputDoesntExist { exists: false };

The ability to destructure like:

const f = ({ exists, url }: Output) => {}

Such that, at the time of destructuring:

exists: true | false
url: string | undefined

I believe, with this PR, if we re-structured the types above to:

interface OutputDoesntExist { exists: false, url: undefined };

That destructuring would be possible, with all the control flow analysis necessary to make it useful. Today, even that wouldn't be possible, so definitely excited for this change.

But, I'm curious if anyone knows if this change can extend to situations where a field isn't even defined in one of the unions, and the compiler can just insert an undefined type for those fields. Or, maybe this would have some unresolveable side-effects I'm not considering.

My friends call it getting “Newarked”. If we visit NJ for any reason and miss any turn in Bergen, Hudson, Essex, or Union county, and try to use road signs to get back on track, we end up at Newark Airport Terminal C. It’s like the entire NJ roadway system is a feed network for United Departures.

Everything I've heard and read from current and former unhoused people points to the fact that mental health drops rapidly upon losing a home. Not being able to sleep a whole night without waking up and being fearful of people invading your space is sufficient. Add in food insecurity, nearby drug use, violence, etc and your brain gets fried. Just like a physical injury, this wound could take months or years to heal.
I'm beginning to come around to this point of view: https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/peacefield/617c7b245793d... - we are not a serious nation.

There's a global pandemic caused by an airborne pathogen, and people throw an absolute hissy fit over a minor inconvenience like masks. My kids wear them all day long in school, and while they don't love them, they are not constantly whining about them like some adults.

My grandparents, on the other hand, dealt with wartime rationing for years (and they were lucky, because they lived in a place where they could hunt) because our country was in a global battle with Nazis. And all that after the depression.
There’s been a a big change recently. McDonald’s pays $17 per hour in the Bay Area now. That’s 35k per year, almost 3k per month. Companies are trying anything to get more workers. Even in the Bay Area that is enough to stay off the street if you want to. Unless they are disabled, I have a lot less sympathy for people on the street when there are a record number of unfilled jobs.
But it's not political battles (well, there are but they aren't the only issue), it's that there is actual conflicting information in the studies. And there are past well regarded studies that have since become controversial. Or put another way: it seems there is a lot we do not understand about nutrition, we merely convinced ourselves we did.
Interesting stuff. We're a Rails/Ruby + Ember company and we also run on microservices. Because there is no good admin I know of for Ruby micro services we've written our own custom made Ember admin which fetches the data from multiple places. I have a feeling a lot of companies simply write their own SPA admin. It took one of our devs about a month's work and working with it isn't that great.

So the need is definitely there imo. But it's also a pretty tricky problem to solve I think...good luck!

So much this. Pay and working conditions are such a joke for so many government jobs compared to the private sector. Government workers make nothing compared to the private sector, we expect them to be miracle workers, we refuse to acknowledge them when they do work miracles, and then we get mad and want to slash the budget when they can't.

It really sucks because I'd happily work for slightly under market rate to do work for a government office, but I just can't work for 1/3-1/2 of the pay I make working in the private sector, not with housing prices the way they are.

the second group speaks to societal failure. If anyone wants to address this in a serious manner, you have to address people's humanity, needs (we're talking Maslow's Hierarchy here), and do so in a way that preserves dignity.

I'd look towards FDR who came closest in the last century to addressing this with the model of the second (economic) bill of rights.

It is problematic yes, however so is most of medical care, poor don't get access to it as much as the rich do , whether it is countries or people.

Sadly, economics dictate a lot of people's health is going to be like. Living/Work conditions lifestyle, diet are all influenced by wealth.

Poor people work most of the dirty and unhealthy jobs that significantly cut short life spans. Wealth and lifespans are known to be strongly correlated.

As countries we are perfectly comfortable reserving vaccines blocking poor countries with patents, polluting a lot more or exploiting their labor in terrible conditions we wouldn't tolerate. Compared to what we are willing to accept already this doesn't seem worse.

If a commercial system could save more lives(probably more likely rich) it is not that much worse for poor than it already is.
I disagree that the parent described an "unforgivably evil cartoon villain" but how does your comment help? It's clear that particular type of homelessness is a massive problem in SF, and how they managed to get to that state isn't particularly relevant in solving the crisis. It's still important in helping prevent people from getting to that point, but that's not what we're talking about here.
In my experience small companies tend to be the best to work for, but this varies wildly.

Large companies are more reliably mediocre across the board, but bad small companies can be outright abusive (usually you can detect these with a few questions in an interview... for example, ask how often employees work outside of regular hours).

Something's weird here:

"State campaign finance records show a slate of candidates including Durr raised more than $10,000 during their campaign but spent only $153: $66.64 at Dunkin to buy food and drinks for staff and $86.67 for paper flyers and business cards."

So he raised more than $10,000, but reports only spending $153. Then how much did he raise? Where did the remaining money go? And how did he pay for things like the video ads linked below or other outreach efforts if he only reported spending $153 on donuts and paper?

Is this a situation where outside donors/PACs financed everything so on paper he himself spent nothing?
People who flip houses don't put in more money than they need to, that's a tautology. It still adds value to the market.

"Scalping" makes zero sense in this context. Scalping exploits ticket mispricing and asymmetrical access to the market (waiting in line). Houses are bought at auction; you can't "scalp" at an auction. Try it at Christie's sometime.

Something I didn't see mentioned about NYC was elevation changes and hills, which is something that San Francisco has all over. There are some VERY steep streets in San Francisco, which means that sensors are out of typically alignment in relationship to the road when an autonomous vehicle is at an intersection.
