In the last year my perception of beans has changed a lot, mainly because I started getting beans from Rancho Gordo which are supposedly very fresh. The claim is that using recently-harvested beans will give you better results than you can get with most dry beans that are available. I have no idea what typical harvest-to-consumption times are for Goya or other brands like that, the Rancho Gordo beans are supposed to be no older than 1 year.

I'm pretty convinced by this argument. In general I find that fresher produce is significantly better when you can get it. In NYC it's hard to come by except for at food co-ops and farmers markets. I've also bought very freshly-milled flour last year during the Great Sourdough Obsession and it was significantly more flavourful and better behaved. I wonder if the real issue with cooking beans is simply one of freshness but other than the Rancho Gordo claims I have yet to see other mention of this.

I'm actually on a personal countdown until I hear the first argument that this safe, effective, experimental pill is a reason not to take the dangerous, pointless, experimental vaccine, and that big pharma wants you to take the vaccine instead of the pill because reasons.

That ship sailed weeks ago on the Twittersphere, once news of the new drug's development came out. According to half of the idiots, the announcement explains why horse paste had to be "suppressed," given that ivermectin was inexpensive, already approved for human use, and unpatentable. The other half maintained that no, the new Pfizer compound was unalloyed good news, because they no longer needed to worry about getting the "untested," "experimental" vaccine.

Covid-19 was actually pretty mild when it comes down to it, when a real disease comes along, we're all dead.

Exactly, SARS-CoV-2 amounts to a dress rehearsal. We know how the real thing is going to play out now, and oh, boy.
How long have you been on the sugary diet?

In my experience, sugar high is temporary, and the longer you persist with a sugary diet, the more adverse effects will show. I felt the same way with caffeine too.

Of course everyone is different, and what you are doing may just be right for your body.
In particular it's good to remember that for every dollar you spend on your credit card, the credit card company is charging the merchant a percentage fee, so even folks who never miss a payment and max their rewards can still be very profitable

When I studied there in 2004-2007 (Art History and Archeology of all things) Leipzig was just amazing. It was raw, chaotic and dirt cheap. I lived in the very center of the city in Hainstrasse, right next to the market and the street with all the bars. I had a beautiful 70 square meter apartment as a student that I paid 320 Euro a month for. Down in Suedvorstadt things got even crazier. We went to underground bars with 1 Euro beers and cockroach races. We went to death metal clubs and Absinth bars. We dressed in top hats and steam punk goggles for Wave/Gothic meeting in spring. We spent a lot of time in nature in Leipzigs Auenwald (a permanently flooded forest) and countless lakes. It was awesome!

Today, when I come back to Leipzig, things feel very different. More refined - true. But also much more bland and faceless. Leipzig's countless little quirky shops have largely made way for the same cookie cutter shopping malls you find everywhere - with your Zara's, H&Ms and G-Star stores. Lot's of places are empty, such as Karstadt and Petersbogen, owing to an over-supply of department stores for what's still a fairly small city. Larger industries have attracted more settled workers - and the crazy punks and metalheads of 2004 have grown into eco-conscious citizens with pension plans and immigration concerns.

Maybe (certainly) I'm just getting old - but god, I miss the raw and wild nature of the post-reunification days...

I've actually had this happen, so I pretty much wrote a white paper (charging company time and delegating time from dedicated efforts by way of the name of the person who requested it).

I sent it, then continually followed up on the status of the points made. Some changes ultimately did get integrated because of it, I think calling the bluff forced someone to actively read, think, and respond to it, even if it wasn't leadership, they had someone else spot check and agree/disagree on points.
My understanding is that merchants are charged around 3% of all that you purchase in interchange/surcharge while you get only like 1% back in reward.

It should be other way around. Some browser addon like "Do track". Which would explicitly allow tracking. In all other cases no tracking.
That's possible but unproven. The current thinking is that new variants are mostly likely to evolve in immunocompromised patients who experience persistent infections. Vaccines are less effective in such patients because the immune system doesn't respond as it should.

Am I the only one who thinks this is all a bit mental? Say you have a (real, physical) business. And say you have some customers who are regulars. You can use your eyes to see what your customers frequently buy/engage with and your brain to remember. You can also use a notepad to write things down. This is commonplace - "The usual today John?".

Now say John travels to another town, and the proprietor of a similar establishment in that town, wanting to provide John with the best level of service, calls you to ask "Hey, what does John like?", and you tell them.

Now we just supplement your eyes and notepad with technology, and replace phone calls with packet exchanges. What has changed exactly? Don't you have a right to record who transacts with you? Isn't that information yours, to do with as you please? Can "John" command us to forget we ever saw him? Where in this sequence are anyone's rights violated? How is any of this reasonable?

What We Do When We See
Terra is facilitating data interoperability within fitness, wellness and health. Cheers to this great team that will enable a healthier future centered around personalization!
Absolutely - thanks for the question so i'll clarify here:

On one side, you have wearables, and on the other you have apps.

We are the API that enables the user to connect their wearable data to the apps.

Meaning that when the user gives their consent, the API facilitates the connection with the app. At the same time, we never see the data, and we don't store them.

With the user's consent, they give access to the app, and hence the app as long as they agree with the wearable supplier regulations and terms of use, they get access to the information. Each of the wearable supplier (eg Garmin, Fitbit etc) have their own rules, and all the apps need to comply with them!
To an extent.

The execution flow you describe is similar to JS' event loop and (I think, I'm not very experienced at C#) C#'s async/await functionality. It's a godsend in JS for exactly the reasons you describe.

From talking to a ranger here the issue in Boulder's parks (I don't know about elsewhere) is that they disturb nesting raptors. And that seems consistent with the fact that you are allowed to fly drones in the more urban parks just not the mountain ones.
they also should not lie about “legitimacy”
The problem is the PRC /= ROC =/ China.

Delineating the current nation state of the PRC from historical nation states and ethnicity is central to the discussion.

This problem was codified by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758, which recognized the PRC as the only legitimate representation of a territory and people that the PRC government never controlled.

It is as if the the UN recognized South Sudan as the sole representative of all of all Sudan when it was admitted in 2011, or South Korea as the sole representative of all Korea in 1991.
My baby naming days are long in my past. I have two daughters of 14 and 12. Their names where a real challenge. My wife and I lost our first child. It would have been a boy. We had chosen for the name Roan. We where of course devastated. A part of me was also very sad for loosing the name. If the second would also be a boy we could no longer give it this beautiful name. We knew the second would become a girl and we wanted to include the name Roan in it. After really long puzzling we came to the name: Norah. It contains all letters or Roan and an added H. Something for her specifically. When we had our third we wanted to do this again. Norah was already at the daycare by then and played a lot with a child called Roos. Somehow we liked the combination but it did not contain all the letters or Roan. After some thinking we settled on Rosanne and we call her Roos (that's Rose in English). So her name does contain all the letters of Roan and extra.

I like the idea but I am unable to have any more kids

Non profit organizations still need money to operate. They still pay their employees with money. They still must earn revenue somehow to cover their operations, unless they are entirely funded by an endowment. The only difference from for-profit companies is that they don't earn returns for investors.
> The inconsistent and weak suppression by random social media websites

Um, millions of posts on Facebook and Twitter were removed. Not very inconsistent, weak, or random - and certainly not warranted by scientific evidence or Daszak's analysis.

As for China's behaviour, it has been very consistent about keeping independent investigations well the fuck away from Wuhan; and I don't really give a shit what their reason for that is.
People are stupid. As a species, we've survived despite this, but as Carlin used to say; "“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

And America in many respects can be incredibly anti-intellectual. Being smart is often a negative in a lot of environments.
Issuers get higher interchange rate for customers they deem as high-spenders. So while these high-spenders (who presumably also pay off their bills) aren't generating interest revenue for the Issuer, they are generating higher interchange revenue.
ooooh.

Not what I was expecting. I somehow associated "find console" and "board bringup" with notions of signal analysis and 23 SMA connectors and "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request" and "ARGH it was a hairline solder bridge this entire time". Need to despecialize my definitions a bit.

But that's very cool. How does the redundant connectivity stuff work? Just basic failover, or WAN bonding? (I'm also vaguely aware that some setups sometimes go through carriers that will provision a custom APN packaged with an upstream VPN so the device is physically isolated from the public internet, which can both increase security and lower cost from port scans etc.)

(Also, in a prior comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29032123) you mentioned how Allwinner offer an SIP with DDR3 - interesting. I've been idly curious for a while about where the FC100s-based "my business card runs Linux" would be at a couple years on, and what a minimal working example would look like. Definitely a bit of a tangent though.)
> It is possible, given the design of individual products, that a user with close-to-optimal spending decisions is contribution margin negative on individual products and potentially on all accounts

I feel like that user is typically the sort who enjoys telling anyone who will listen about how they managed to get great rewards from their card. With all that free marketing, the credit card issuer is probably happy to have them as a customer, even if they lose a little bit of money on them.
Where are you in CA? Here in the Bay Area, at least East Bay, you have to wear a mask to go shopping. >90% of people at the parks are wearing masks, we can't go into the daycare to pick up our son and the nanny wears a mask all day, you can't sit in a restaurant unless you show your id and paperwork proving you have a vaccine. Heck, I see kids and adults riding their bikes or skateboarding without a helmet or any protection but they have their mask on!

The most unexpected effect of dropping sugars from my diet is the dramatic change (or sensitivity) to taste. Without sugars being predominant, now I savor many foods differently, especially fruit, and am enjoying it. Granted, it may simply be that hunger is seasoning the meal. However, the appreciation of flavor subtleties after discarding sugars is a pleasant and unexpected effect.
As a maker of software - I have no problem with Apple providing that type of protection as an opt-in value add for their users.

I do mind (quite a fucking bit) when

- I don't do the abusive shit and Apple still keeps all my customers

- I'm forced to give 30% of my operating revenue to apple for this "favor"

- Apple is not neutral: they will happily monitor items that sell well on their store, release a shoddy half-baked internal version, bump it right to the top of the store, and eat all my revenue.

The first two I could maybe stomach - The third is entirely bullshit, particularly in combination with the first two.

It's ok though, We're watching Apple lose this fight (correctly, IMO) in every jurisdiction that's not the US.
Ah, yes that’s more what I meant to say. We’ll get to a place where masks aren’t required anywhere, but we may never return to a world where masks are a weird or unusual sight.

> Django feels like too much overhead for smaller projects

It depends. My advice is always: stick to django no matter what, unless you are a seasoned web devs. I've seen too many flask projects with terrible architecture decisions and security holes because flask assumes (by nature) you can take those decisions.

Those decisions are not easy to take. They require a deep knowledge of the field.

So yes, one may chose flask or fast api as a lighter alternative, provided they know very well what they are doing, or that the consequences of not knowing are small. The later is not always simple to evaluate however, especially if you are not experienced. You don't know what you don't know after all.

If somebody doesn't know if they are an experienced web dev, or the consequences of their choices, they should use Django.

It will save them from SQL injection, XSS, Cross request forgery and click hijacking. It will provide an pluggable auth backend should you need it later. It will force you to put some parts of your code in separate sillows. This is a good thing for most people.

Maybe I missed it, but a video and/or some significant examples on this page would be useful near the top.
Thanks for this very thoughtful reply! I thought 2) in particular was a very good point, and one I hadn’t really considered. I would definitely be interested in hearing more about specific opportunities in 3) if anyone has any. At this point, I’m not terribly interested in monetary returns when it comes to climate stuff, so I almost think of these activities as donations. That also means that my funds available are quite limited in the comparison to usual capital for this stuff (on the order of a few thousand).
They didn't mean that the restrictions would go away if YOU personally got vaxxed, only if a respectable number in the US did. And that still hasn't happened because people are stubborn and selfish.
> What about letting users control cookies browser side?

I've tried to explain why this isn't sufficient in another comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29122525

TLDR: GDPR covers more than just cookies and restricting cookies does next to nothing when it comes to tracking (in fact modern browsers already do restrict cookies by default, which is a pain to deal with as it does break legitimate usage such as cross-domain SSO).
