Anthocyanins have some purported health benefits. A did a deep dive into the available literature several years back after noticing that a few days of excessive tart cherry consumption effectively wiped out my psoriasis. I was looking for research with a specific link to psoriasis treatment in humans and actually I managed to find a Chinese clinical trial showing a positive effect. I recall they used a whole food source but not what it was.

So I went ahead and started buying 8x concentrated tart cherry juice at Whole Foods... and it did jack shit. My tart cherry binge was in Eastern Europe, and I was eating them right off the trees. The Montmorency tart cherries grown in the US have a lower anthocyanin content than their European counterparts. But I was consuming a significantly larger amount of juice than the whole berry equivalent of the European variety. So it probably wasn't just the anthocyanins. Dried Montmorency cherries didn't work either. Same for tart cherry extract.

I did want to run another N=1 experiment with a different berry. Aronia [0], known as chokeberries, have some of the highest anthocyanin content among the food sources listed on Wikipedia [1]. I was hoping to find them in the wild but never made this a serious pursuit. Maybe I'll pull the trigger on ordering some dried Aronia berries on Amazon. I am fairly convinced

Honestly, I think it’s just fighting years of muscle-memory more than anything. Not necessarily a valid complaint, I know.

That applies to when a choice must be made before the user can proceed, or when making once choice has an associated opportunity cost that prevents/discourages the user from making other choices. If the user is presented with sane defaults from the start and can also try toggling a checkbox in a settings UI to instantly test alternatives, the study does not apply.
You mean you expect the government to fund themselves enough to actually do there job?
I don't think the study shows that either. Generally the bulk of the cases and especially hospitalizations and deaths have been amongst unvaccinated. When you have 40% of a country unvaccinated and when those 40% tend to form social groups and closer connections you can't really look at the country as a whole.

At any rate, the methodology of the paper is just way off. If you truly wanted to understand the correlation between vaccination and infection rates you need to try to control for other factors. That is just experiment design 101. If you control for nothing while there are other significant factors then you get nothing. If the paper is saying "there can be high covid rates with 60%-70% vaccine coverage and the delta variants" then sure, but also duh.
The good news is both of them are easy to grow indoors or outdoors, and they're perennial. Perennial herbs include rosemary, lavender, marjoram, tarragon, sage, mint, parsely, lemon balm, chives, sorrel, yarrow, chicory, savory, bay laurel, lovage, hyssop, anise, chamomile, bergamot, alfalfa, clover... the list goes on. You can use them fresh, or make your own dried herbs.

On top of that, variants of thyme work as a hearty no-hassle replacement for grass, and it even flowers.
Pretty easy to grow your own, from seed even, but most plant nurseries will have these in their herb section.

Something that irks me a bit is that the UI (with it's animations) can't keep up with pressing keyboard shortcuts. For example in word to change font size you could just do Alt+h+fs+<number> but you can't just press it as a single chord, you kinda need to wait for the UI to focus on the correct fields to make sure you're at the correct place
It's not about voting, it's about showing up to Planning and Zoning meetings and opposing anything that might obstruct scenic views or negatively impact property values. Most significant developments require rezoning and therefore a public input period.

Then there are outsized impact fees and red tape from the city and county once it gets past P&Z.
It's worth remembering that the lack of density is what people like so much about the towns. I can say personally an apartment building makes it hard to enjoy the mountain view when you're on a stroll through the town :) The unfortunate reality is that I think the only way to truly prevent this is to only allow someone who is working in town to own a home with a percentage allowance for remote workers. The biggest step being to prevent vacation homes from being a thing. Even still I don't think this fully solves the problem as most of the positions in mountain towns are low skilled so generally aren't super well paid.

There's a few compounding factors that the article touches on but doesn't really put much emphasis. I'm up in the Canadian Rockies but I have friends spread out among a few of the towns so I'll try and give some perspective across the areas.

Lake Louise:
Not really worth commenting on this as almost all homes are owned by local businesses due to national park rules.

Banff:
Limited due to how land ownership works within the national park as well as limits the Federal government puts on expanding the town. Thankfully due to the land ownership constraints it avoids the vacation property issue some what although not entirely.

This town also pickups spill over from Lake Louise.

Canmore:
Catches the remaining spill over from Lake Louise and Banff further constraining holding it's own workers. This is the closest town to the national park so lots of people own vacation homes here. This town is surrounded by a national park, provincial park, and by Aboriginal land so it has no room to grow. The town has put limits on where air bnb's can be run but they're so profitable people eat the current fines.

An interesting side note with this town is that at the start of the pandemic a lot of the people with vacation homes went here overloading the local grocery stores ability to supply things. The shelves were extra bare for weeks which was quite frustrating.

Fernie:
Was doing alright before the pandemic but was feeling the squeeze a bit. As soon as working from home was the norm for people houses disappeared in a flash and what was left almost doubled in price over the two years. In those two years my friends got priced out of the market.

A lot of developers here got burned in the oil crash in 2008 which will probably slow any quick growth to expand the town.

Golden:
Don't have any friends here but from what I've seen there's been lots of aggressive development but more on the nicer vacation home side. Nothing that would fit as a good starter house for a family.
I make well over $200k with bonuses and equity. I am on call right now.

I just DoorDashed lobster tail. Life is so unfair.
The only thing worse than on-call is the expectation that everyone should be available at all times.
Just one of the more minor ways the military-industrial complex is able to waste stupefying amounts of money.
If your read the article, they cover this topic.

There's also a kind of preservation of the culture of the town. Which I kind of agree with.

Then there is also the fact that a lot of these places aren't used for housing, they're used as play houses or AirBnB's. So just adding more houses will likely mean more empty stuff in the town, probably making the problem worse.
Washing your hands properly with soap and water is much more effective than hand sanitiser in typical use. Hand sanitiser is most useful when you don't have convenient access to soap and hot water. Since you're arriving home anyway, you might as well wash your hands properly — the skin on your hands will thank you for one less exposure to hand sanitiser, too.
I’m really enjoying this. It’s so much faster and basic stuff like rotation that was janky under the YouTube player now works smoothly. But I have to wonder how long it lasts before YouTube takes steps to break it.

Obfuscation is an act of counterintelligence.
My explanation of the base rate fallacy is that most car crashes are caused by people who hold a valid driver's permit. The number of crashes caused by unlicensed drivers is negligible. Therefore, we should stop issuing driving licenses.

Most people I explain this to recognise the fallacy, even if they're not trained in statistics.

A huge problem with vaccine denialism is that it stems from motivated thinking. People aren't being persuaded by bullshit arguments; rather, they already agree with the conclusions, and look to these spurious correlations as emotional support.
Yes, that’s it! :D Learned a lot from that place.

Yeah it sounds like a tall tale. "Falling at a slight bank" sounds like ideal conditions for onset of a spin. Which a pilot would be very wary of when close to the ground because it means certain death.

Also, would it be possible to fly level at such a speed in an SR71? And isn't there a HUD and vertical speed warner?

On the other hand their expectation of being grounded sounds pretty accurate :)

Oh well I never flew anything better than a Cessna 172 so don't take my word for it.
This study says much less than 71% reduction, 25% of vaccinated and 38% of unvaccinated people got Covid when living with an infected person.

FWIW, we have on-call at my work (all the developers are on PagerDuty schedule except the newest) and don’t have a written or agreed response requirement. It’s essentially best-effort, we had one instance where a page got ignored for hours by both primary and secondary responders and no one got in trouble. YMMV of course and I suspect we are laxer than most for various corporate and leadership reasons.

I do bring my computer with me when traveling out of state when on call but generally don’t worry about e.g. going for a few hours hike or whatever even if I won’t have the laptop with me. If it were stricter it would definitely be more annoying…
> Air purifiers are very loud and mostly effective at removing particulates. If you want to remove VOCs, formaldehyde and CO2 then ventilation is a lot more effective.

Modern air purifiers are basically silent in normal operation, and there are models that remove VOCs and formaldehyde. CO2 is still best removed with ventilation.
We have a local school being built. This was the argument for no operable windows.

Except … a pandemic! We are optimizing for the wrong thing IMO at the expense of simple practical, human driven comfort. Same reason we don’t have windows on the local trains anymore.

Practically for people in classrooms at random times, being able to open a window should be an option. Only central control of when the ventilation / heat is on just fails in so many situations.
I'm not sure what you're trying to show there. Literal translations are always janky but can still be used to demonstrate things.

A similar literal translation from english to english of 97 would be nine-tens-seven. English has some irregularities in the teens but it's decimal all the way through. French switches from decimal to vigesimal.
An Article V convention is in my opinion the most thoroughly boneheaded idea in American politics (which is saying a lot).

There is no way _at all_ to constrain the agenda _or_ the outcome per the current constitution. In particular you can’t say (afaik) “we are calling an article V convention solely on issue X.” The linked article describes this as the “runaway convention problem.”

If you are on the left, imagine the new constitution specifically forbidding abortion.

If you are on the right, imagine it specifically forbidding private gun ownership.

There is no way to prevent those outcomes because an Article V convention is effectively saying “start over again from scratch.”

Separately I think term limits for congressmen are a dumb idea too. It will make party organizations much stronger. For evidence on this, see Mexico where nearly every public office is term limited to a single term. Second, very few people actually want their own congressman term limited (unless you voted for the other guy). They want everyone else’s congressmen (or the junior senator from Texas) term limited.
I always get the impression an immutable OS is solving the wrong problem. It protects the OS - all the data I don't care about - but does nothing to protect /home/me, which is everything I do care about.

How is this solved?
There are a lot of comments about eliminating investment properties and providing subsidized housing. Why don't we let the market work itself out? Let's see how magical Crested Butte is in a few years with no intervention. I suspect you'll be able to get a nice ski-in/ski-out condo at a significant discount when there are no longer any businesses open in the town.
> Correlation isn’t causation, of course: there may be some other common factor at play making coffee-drinkers healthier.

Is it worth reading past this?

There may be some other factor at play, making…?

How do you recognize the first part and then say the second part?

It could just as well be “healthier people who don’t succumb to negative side effects of substance whatever have more bandwidth to think deeply about things.”

I’m not positing that it is, just that when you have a “correlation” like this, you can posit all kinds of scenarios that lead to it (e.g. firemen start fires).

So I admit, I didn’t read the rest of the article. Because it name drops some buzz wordy things and then messes with them. Why even lead in with this? Just say the point.

So I’m asking fello more patient HNers, does it go better? Just an author trying to warm to the real pony and I should persevere?
Any risk of getting those elements in them if you grow them yourself, through the soil, water, fertilizer, products or the seeds?

These office buildings usually have automated ventilation which if specced properly can provide equivalent or more air exchanges per hour than open windows. As a bonus, automated ventilation can include a heat exchanger, while an open window can't.
>Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Certainly don't want people who have the above attitude messing around with the Constitution. It's already bad enough many of them have made it into elected office or appointed to the bench.
The way I've heard it works in the US seems abusive, but it doesn't need to be. I thought it was regulated in Spain (to give an alternative point of view), but apparently it's only lightly regulated and the pay is left to either the unions to negotiate or to the contract. However, it's regulated that:

- If you do have to work, that's "extraordinary" time paid at 1.75x the normal hourly rate (yes, including for full time employees).

- While you don't need breaks (it's kinda considered a break on itself), you do need at least 12h of rest between shifts, so that on itself makes it basically impossible to be on call the whole time between two work days. It makes it possible to be on call for the weekends though, and between two work days for 4h.
I read through it and the assessment makes sense (vaccine effectiveness is not binary in the face of spike protein mutations). But I think it also fails to mention the promising anti-COVID pills that are going to be approved soon, and those from my understanding wouldn’t be as affected by spike protein mutations since they use a different mechanism for treatment.

I was taught stuff at Primary School which I then got taught at Secondary school. Admittedly I moved around due to parents jobs but you could not get a consistence curriculum in the UK. AQA the main exam board was setup because private schools sat their pupils with exams from the easiest exam boards unlike state schools who just went with exam boards that suited them. From an employers perspective, a private school pupil with an A was like a state school C, but that's the sort of privilege having money can buy you and is perhaps why Uni's and some employers here in the UK are now waking up too.
The class system in the UK is a very repressive system of control that infects every aspect of life to the detriment of the UK and the wider world.
How does this handle video quality selection? My phone tends to default to 360p on YouTube for some reason.
Menus are great for discoverability because they show you all the options in an organized way, but they're slow. They're excellent for rarely used commands.

Keyboard shortcuts are fast but they require memorization. They're great for something you do many times a day.

Command pallets fit in the middle. They're most perfect for the niche where you use the command often enough to remember that it exists and at least roughly know the name, but nowhere near often enough to warrant memorizing a keyboard shortcut. Especially for text editors where you're already in typing position, they're much faster than menus and not that much slower than shortcuts, and you can give access to much more commands than you can define reasonable shortcuts for.

And as you said, CLI with the precise syntax requirements is simply the worst.

In one of the stack responses they say:

> and this is also done in modern spoken Arabic with no strange reversals as in German

That is not fully correct. Arabic numbers are spoken in a similar way to German. For example, 42 is "2 and 40" (إثنان و أربعون in fus7a)

It is somewhat natural to read a number like that in Arabic. As you are reading right-to-left you come across a number where the least significant digit comes first.

In other words in English if you see 123 you think "one hundred twenty three" as you read left-to-right. That same number is written ١٢٣ (the 3 least significant digit is to far right) and is read "one hundred and three and twenty".
Those flaws are pretty massive though. Legalising slavery and letting anyone and his dog own guns? That barbaric and doesn't belong in any constitution in 2021.

Logistics. Crested Butte is 3 hours from the nearest larger town, Grand Junction. Assuming good weather.

You need workers and materials to build new housing. There is already a shortage of workers.

Builders in Grand Junction can make far more profit by building in Grand Junction, vs driving 6 hours each day to Crested Butte and back. Same with hauling materials.
It's not clear where the heavy metals are coming from. One possibility mentioned in the article is the soil itself. I wonder if even potting soil is tested for heavy metals? If heavy metals get through whatever food testing is done by the FDA, McCormick, etc., I don't have great confidence that soil testing is any better. That said, I would think growing your own is safer.
Right (also "in part because the vaccination of children takes time to come into effect").

They are hovering around R=1 with very minimal restrictions and still a significant amount of people that won't take the vaccine ("citing the fact that a third of the population remains unprotected. This refers to 670,000 unvaccinated Israelis, more than a million people who haven’t received the booster, and children under 12"). They're making up for the vaccine coverage to some extent by:

1. Lots of people got sick. Israel has a young population and a very strong healthcare system so they were able to manage a very high daily case rate per capita.

2. Booster shots.

3. And now, vaccinating children.

I don't think anyone knows yet exactly what sort of waning effect you have after the third booster. It's also hard to say what portion of the change is behavioral changes vs. the vaccine's wane.

Now the new variant completely changes the calculus yet again.

How much did CR spend to buy these spices? A few hundred dollars? A thousand at most? I don't know how much the tests themselves cost to run, but I can find lead test kits on Amazon for under $20. The biggest cost would doubtlessly be manpower so.. put some interns on the job?

But yes, I expect the FDA's lame excuse will be "Gee wiz we wish we could do our jobs but we need another billion dollars for what you're suggesting." Such is the way with the American government.
