Here’s some info on consumption [1]. But this is basically politics at its peak b/c when Biden runs for reelection he’ll need it as a talking point. The “strategic reserve” is something Americans have latched on to as an idea. They won’t look at the numbers. His opponent won’t either. It’s just showbiz.

I thought of this when reading the heading. I remember hearing ages ago that artificial sweeteners can kick someone out of ketosis sometimes and this podcast gave a good explanation of it.
Yeah… that’s not how Americans work.

I still think the whole divide over Brexit was less about the principle of it, but more about whether you are more aligned with the current EU political leanings or with those of the current UK ones (reflected in its Tory leadership).

If you are more aligned with the EU political leanings, you would want them to be able to force the UK government to do what you believe is the right thing. If you are more aligned with the tories, you want them to be free to do their thing without being told what to do by the EU. And that seems to correlate highly with whether you think Brexit was a good or a bad idea.

An interesting thought experiment I like to ask people to do is whether they would change their views on Brexit if the political leanings of the EU and the UK were flipped. I.e. the EU views were more like ones they disagree with (e.g. more right-wing perhaps), and the political leanings of the UK were more like what they agree with. For example, if the UK wanted to have more funding for science, but the EU frowned upon that regarding it as unfair competition, or something along those lines.

Have you consulted with any researchers on this project? I would suggest it would be a good idea to ask your target audience what kind of pain points you can solve for them, and I think your product would benefit greatly. As someone who would be your stated target audience, I can’t see anything here that would benefit me. As an example of my greatest pain point when conducting research would be organizing all of my research sources. The mind maps and cross references are a good start in this direction, but there are tools out there that do a much better job and are free. You’ll need to explain why this is better than all of those.
1. Flying at a whim, large vehicles, a/c 24/7, and related profligate fossil fuel burning. Today we think we're living at the peak of progress so far and that people in any other time would wish they were us.

Future generations will look back at horror at how we chose temporary indulgence over what makes us most human: caring for each other, especially the helpless and vulnerable, and stewarding nature.

2. Plastic, at least single-use, forever chemicals, and similar chemicals. Soon we will see them like asbestos or marketing cigarettes to kids. Yes, they increase the GDP, but they kill.

Three of those are genetically inluenced.

My 2c theory for the difference in investor outlook is "old money" vs "new money". Old money is more risk averse - avoiding capital loss is more important than making the biggest gains. It's probably not possible to preserve a fortune for hundreds or thousands of years without this kind of attitude.

There are a LOT of really old money families in Europe (and they are a big part of the ruling class) and I believe this colours the entire investment outlook.

In China the money is even newer than the US (practically no billionaires by inheritance for fairly obvious reasons), so would expect them to be even more aggressive and this seems to play out.

One place I see the cracks in this idea are former Soviet states. It seems like their billionaires should be more willing to back moonshot investments than they actually are. Perhaps it is because many of their billionaires are politically connected oligarchs and don't back growth plays in the same way (more about gaining and keeping control of existing pie).

An alternative would be that it's cultural in some more complex way and proportion of inherited wealth is either a factor or actually a consequence of other things going on.

defrosting in cold tap water also works just fine. I noticed that this keeps the fibres and cells intact which is advantageous for frying afterwards as the filet won't fall apart so easily.
> Backwards compatibility is hard in software in general

I disagree. Pretty much every desktop OS in the world manages to get quite a lot of backwards compatibility without a whole lot of trouble, except for Linux Desktop.

That suggests the problem isn't hard, it's just that the culture of Linux Desktop is incompatible with the concept.
These are the main points of the draft law.

Lawmakers voted to approve measures in the draft Digital Markets Act that could mean:

A company’s messaging or social media app is interoperable, to prevent users feeling forced to use one or the other because that’s where their friends are

A ban on behavioral targeting of ads to minors

Fines of as much as 20% of a company’s global annual sales for breaches for the law

Companies identified as “gatekeepers” and therefore set to be accountable under the DMA include Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Booking.com, and could later hit online marketplaces Zalando and Alibaba.

Ask HN: Best front end framework for a back end engineer?
I'm working in a side project and now I'm getting to the point where I need some sort of interface that doesn't includes 'curl' and 'jq'.

I do have some experience with Angular 2+ but I think it is too much for what I need right now. Besides that I'll probably end up trowing away this first version anyways.

Right now all I need is some way to fetch data from an API and display these items to the user interact with.

Given that what do you think is the easiest way to create a web interface for a simple API?
The API is written in Golang.

Countering the Ransomware Threat: A Whole-of-Government Effort
I'm personally suffering from back pain when staying in the same position for prolonged periods of time (working, sitting somewhere, laying down).

Work wise, I've tried many chairs, which evidently were not all the most ergonomic, but what I noticed was that it's mainly caused by weak core/back muscles.

So I just want to mention that an ergonomic chair wouldn't be a solution by itself if you're in the same situation as me, strengthening your core should be a very important thing to take into account as well.

It’s just a status behavior (“I’m so important, everyone wants me”, etc.) that’s wrapped up in pretending this is a problem.

Artificial sweeteners effect your health. It would be nice to know how much is in there. The information would help a person to avoid the food combinations with Aspartame that decrease the rate of metabolism.

We don't all do it for urgent fixes... where I work, I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. I don't have access.

From the comment you first replied to: harder to see how sweet something is

It was never about sugar content, but how sweet something is.

Overly sweet things can be unpleasant to an adult palate, or one accustomed to a culture of less sweet things. In simpler times, sugar content was a somewhat reliable metric of sweetness (of course it can be balanced by acid, tannins, salt etc.), so you could select a product without needing to taste it first.
Crypto means hidden. It is a common prefix. Whether a community uses it for a thing is not some cause for riot.

I think what amazes me most is how quickly the whole thing was built.

In 1945, there were literally a total of a few hundred phone lines fully crossing the United States. A few bundles of twisted pair running across the Colorado mountains and New Mexico desert. If you wanted to make a phone call from New York to San Francisco, you booked ahead of time and paid out the nose for a noisy line. Such services were still revolutionary -- they had only become generally available c. 1920. And there was certainly no such thing as long-distance television.

Just 15 years later, you could place a direct-dial call between almost every major city in North America, it would probably connect instantly, and cost 1/20th the rates of two decades before. The entire nation would tune in to watch simulcast television on both coasts.

They connected the majority of urban areas with broadband pipes measuring tens of MHz of bandwidth available for TV and data, and thousands of voice channels. A continent-spanning network of coaxial and microwave relay towers - multiple redundant routes with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of those Long Line installations -- all constructed in the span of about a decade to the cost of something like $60+ billion in modern money. It's one of the greatest crash infrastructure projects any society has ever undertaken.

I do ASP.NET core + vuejs for work and like it well enough.

I’m also doing some projects in nodejs+Fastify+vuejs

One weird thing: I prefer not using Webpack, full spa frameworks etc if I can help it. Just add vuejs from cdn and use it to add client behavior to plain HTML output by asp.net or nodejs if I can get away with it.

For mobile app dev, Ionic Framework in the angular flavor- last I tried their Vue implementation was lacking.
Yes, I voted remain but I suspect the businesses yelling that they can't hire really mean they can't hire for what they were accustomed to paying before Brexit. It's particularly prevalent in lower paid areas like transport, coffee shops, and agriculture. If the success of your business depended on low wages Brits won't accept, you're likely to be in trouble.

> I prefer this presentation over a PDF or a video. It works and I like it. You don't, then move on.

I could say the same thing to you -- if you like it, then move on. Nobody is forcing you to read my comments, and it is antithetical to the concept of a public forum to assert that I shouldn't be allowed to comment just because you don't agree with me.

> Counting "scrolls" (whatever that means) can't be a healthy way to engage with something you don't enjoy.

As a web developer, half of my job is analyzing metrics which describe how effective and usable a website is. This particular thread is a discussion about site usability, and I'm using decades of experience and actual site data to show how bad the usability is, which very relevantly includes counting how many times they are forcing someone to scroll to read a single paragraph of text.

I often see people wrap their feedback in a "just thinking out loud" style of speaking, that leaves everyone confused. "Well you're not handling this error here, so maybe it would be good to think about doing that, or maybe we don't need to. Well it's definitely a good idea to think about it" and so on.

It took me years to have the confidence to, after a ramble like that, directly ask what the suggestion was.

There's only so much definitely maybe thinking about possible good ideas I can do.

> And if Mojica had not discover CRISPR...

And if Janssen had not invented the microscope... clearly all Nobel prizes in medicine and physiology should go to a Dutch guy who died 400 years ago.

Mojica made a contribution. Doudna and Charpentier made a contribution which clearly conferred greater benefit on humankind. Šikšnys made a contribution but got scooped, which sucks but that's how science goes sometimes.

It has nothing to do with university support and it's not a predicament. The prize as awarded accurately reflects the relative impact of each step forward.
We often choose to consume alcohol in a setting with trained, paid drug administrators. There's some safety features to that.

But we also can self-administer, in large part because you can see how strong a drink is, right on the package.

I think GP is suggesting that, absent the lobbying power of the alcohol industry, you might see commercial development of safer ways of dosing alternatives.

If you could go to the store and buy a sealed bottle with 0.5mg ghb that might be compelling for some folks?
Oh no, hopefully it will not be another privacy violating CPU hog.

Why can't they just maintain the original Winamp? Making sure it's up to date, maybe improve the quality of equaliser etc.

I really don't want to "connect with the artist" nor I want artists to shove their content into my playlist. I also don't want any cloud garbage - I want to play files from my media only, without any tracking.

It seems to me what this will end up with is fake artists creating content optimised for conversions rather than art coming from their soul.
I don't really think there's too much culture.

We just live in an era where culture is more widely and easily available than ever before.

What's more, since there are many more folks who are able to access more stuff, there's more stuff being produced to capitalize on that as well.

And yes, crappy reality TV is culture. As is any creative or interactive endeavor.

But, as has been the case pretty much forever, Sturgeon's Law[0] applies to all that culture too.

For those of you who don't know (welcome to today's 10,000[1]!) and are too lazy to copy paste the link below, Sturgeon's Law states that:

On the trip home from every LAN party I've ever been to, I'm always stuck with a wanting to extend experience from "event" to "lifestyle", even if a few hundred people sitting and playing computer games does not exactly qualify as a worthy goal, at least they're together on the same goal. :)

Other commenters are suggesting that Apple's intent is to keep Chrome and other third-party apps from matching Safari's energy efficiency.

But as you say, I'm not sure that makes strategic sense. If that is true, Apple is essentially crippling most Mac use cases just to benefit Safari. That really would not seem to be in Apple's best interests.

I am a developer, but not a iOS/MacOS developer. So I have followed this sort of thing only very loosely over the years.

But whenever I have heard about grumblings about private Apple-only APIs being used by blessed first-party Apple apps on iOS, it seems to me that the explanation was always that the private APIs either:

1. posed some sort of security issue

2. were simply not yet stable enough to expose to third-party apps

As every developer knows, publicly exposing any API represents a maintenance burden: you're committing to support that API and keep it stable for X number of years. In general you see this kind of pattern a lot: a platform developer dogfoods APIs internally for some period of time before they're stable enough to expose publicly.
