> The evidence is clear: any level of alcohol consumption can lead to loss of healthy life.

The evidence is not clear. There are plenty of studies showing benefits. “Any level” “can” makes the statement technically true but meaningless, you could replace alcohol with anything and that would also be true. If you want to back up the statement, do a meta analysis study and publish that instead of pretending you’re the authority and giving vague statements.

This reads like somebody with a prejudged conclusion announcing that instead of actual scientific openmindedness. Plenty of people in the comments who already agreed are eating it up.

How could anybody who didn’t already agree with this be convinced, their argument boils down to “we say the studies conclude this” which is trivial to refute.
I mean in reality it's just a name, and the short version "pop" is a good name. But I guess the background story would be interesting anyhow.
If alcohol in moderation is so bad then why is it taking so long to prove it?
You could argue that it allows people to send funds in ways that are faster than some other current options.

But that’s about it. It’s basically another game to play with new financial assets printed out of thin air.
With some quibbles: the gifted programs aren’t being phased out entirely, assessments are just being moved to a state where they’re less gamified. The reason why note white and Asian people were on them was because they could pay to cram the gifted assessments, which then poisoned the whole program because those kids weren’t actually gifted.

SAT similarly is a pretty bad indicator of intelligence because there’s a pipeline of gaming them.

It’s not necessarily meant to be used as an argument as such. It could also be intended as a rhetorical device in order to force the opponent to concede on another point:

Person A: We should legalize weed in order to be consistent [see above argument]

Person B: Nonsense! Weed has harmful effects on society!

Person A: Alcohol objectively harms society more than weed [insert citations here]. So you would agree that we should regulate alcohol more, yes?
At first I started reading this and my first thought was "what's the point". As I read it though, I realized these people actually had a tangible impact on the world, they all rallied together and got something done. They can look back at this as they are older and feel like they made the world a tiny bit better during their lives. I write software and really have almost no lasting impact. Went from feeling pretty superior to appreciative in one short article. Interesting how that happened.
We evaluated TS for a recent project but ended up with JS (and VueJS 3). I have a feeling it would have taken much longer to develop using TS, but lacking experience in TypeScript it's hard to say. I find JS pretty neat for exploratory programming.
Good question. I only wanna add that traditional trading instruments suck and are not fun to scale. Highly centralized points of failure with truly mind numbing consequences that are difficult to predict and respond to. I've worked on forex systems and when the feeds get iffy things get real uncomfortable, real fast.

Blockchains could, maybe, provide an interesting global platform for fintech to migrate cross-border stuff to. That stuff is not reliable, the engineers are just hella talented

I can't wait for these games to start being built for VR. Maybe it'll be possible to develop a sense for higher dimensionality intuitively using our senses.

Maybe young mathematicians and physicists can explore higher dimensions in VR to get accustomed to it, which might help with their theorizing and explorations.
Arguing about consistency in a system without the rule of law seems a bit foolish as well. Diplomats are a more interesting edge case. And AFAIK they can always be prosecuted and convicted in their home country.
I think you will find with most exclusive clubs there are a few types that join but the more common are the ones who have so much money that the cost is immaterial and those who wish access to those people. For the latter they are not paying 5 figures to play golf, they are paying 5 figures to make deals while they happen to be playing golf.
That they did. Per Google's press release for Google Apps:

It would be more accurate to say that there is no strong evidence that saturated fats are bad for you.

Lots of the previous science was bad science that did not account for confounding factors, such as not taking into account that lots of fast food has lots of saturated fats(and made up for a large portion of saturated fat consumption) and adjusting for that. ie the difference between "do sat fats make people unhealthy" and "does eating fast food(which happens to have sat fats) make people unhealthy"

If you want to go down the rabbit hole, there is also no strong evidence showing cholesterol/eggs are bad, and neither is there any evidence showing salt is bad(if you are healthy). Lots of nutrition studies have such laughably silly methodology. Not sure why they were ever taken seriously.
- I understand fear of change can be a symptom of anxiety, and I've certainly experienced this myself: I've repeatedly found myself wedged into awkward situations that aren't within my ballpark to un-awkward, and found that this can produce a "just keep going, just keep going" mentality that's negatively hypersensitive to any kind of change

- I can see clerk-type positions being heavily dunked in the "we are invisible to the ergonomic considerations of the software upgrade lifecycle" koolaid, and (perhaps not having a balanced/passively-positive general appreciation of software development in abstract) can only see introducing software from the standpoint of "yet another unsolicited burden of workload I have to add to my plate" as opposed to an empathetic load-bearing fulcrum.

I wonder if the distain is coming from simple insecurity, or a more complex broken sense of achievement/self-hazing, where having a given task be simplified or automated or otherwise made nicer is seen somehow "doing it wrong" (eg, the equivalent of writing garbage code to solve a problem as opposed to spending 2 weeks figuring out how to solve something "correctly" etc).
But from whom did you get that information about FSB and MSS? CIA and MI6 may assassinate anyone as they please because there is no one to expose them. At least we know that Mossad doesn't have problem with killing politicians, scientist and journos.
>> blatant lies like Pizzagate, Q Anon, Stop the Steal, and all kinds of Anti-vax crankery

> Not the specific issues you mention, but the problem with this approach is that just occasionally "blatant lies" turn out to be true.

> Powerful people have acted to suppress dissenting opinions; whether it's whether Covid leaked from a lab or Galileo Galilei's 'Eppur si muove' way back in 1633[0], and most likely this has been going on long before that.

That's certainly true, but it's also important to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, either. It doesn't help those "dissenting opinions" if they're drowned out in a sea of lies or if the lies (collectively) do far more damage.

Social media fact checking isn't some kind of hard block that can suppress any idea from being seen by anyone (in fact, this case it was little more than a caution sign), and IMHO it's probably better for the truth if it has to pass some hurdles and gets slowed down a bit, just as long as those hurdles increase the single-to-noise ratio. There's reason process like scientific peer review are respected.
That's not a fair comparison though. An exchange is a fat, juicy target. I am not

Assault is not a "little offense". Anyone convicted of criminal assault should spend a significant amount of time in prison (regardless of whether they're a drug addict or not) in order to protect the rest of society.
I specifically didn't mention gender in the story because I figured that it would make it easier for more people to relate. When you write a story, you get to choose which aspects to highlight on or not :)
No two situations are the same, and demanding consistency at an arbitrary level of reasoning means disregarding everything you would see when looking closer. For example, banning something that has been legal for a long time is difficult because of the economic aftershocks and cultural resistance. If something new was invented that was just as harmful as alcohol, it might be best to ban it and leave alcohol legal.

FWIW, I probably mostly agree with you on policy. Just wanted to chime in on why people might object to the reasoning.
It can also be infectious, in the case of prions.

By this logic no claims can ever be proven because in the end everything is subjective.

To quote Bill Clinton, it depends on your definition of “is”.

Terrorism has a pretty well accepted definition - violent acts against civilians to gain political power. That’s exactly what she was doing when caught with hundreds of pounds of explosives.

But again, it’s a distinction without worth - the claim implies she is a violent radical. Whether she was convicted of terrorism, kidnapping, illegal explosives or smuggled firearms is moot - she’s a terrorist that was convicted of terrorist acts.
As the other commenter asks - do you think Mohammed Atta was a terrorist?
The C startup code (for statically-linked binaries) and run-time linker (for dynamically-linked binaries) carve up initial capabilities provided by the kernel into capabilities that cover the various global variables and function pointers needed by the program and libraries, similar to how pointers are initialised for position-independent code (more complex, but same principle, just scan through all the relocations and apply them). When you mmap(2) memory from the OS, you get back a capability with bounds covering that memory. When you malloc(3) memory from your libc, it finds space in an existing mapping, takes that capability and restricts its bounds to the allocation size. When you take a pointer to a stack-allocated variable, the compiler inserts an instruction to set the bounds of that capability to just the memory it allocated for that variable. Every pointer, whether "language-level" (what is exposed in the language) or "sub-language-level" (the pointers in the implementation, like return addresses on the stack or the stack pointer itself), is a capability, and all you need to do is insert a bounds-setting instruction at the point of allocation to restrict its bounds. So your libc's malloc needs modifying, as does your kernel, but your C program that calls them just needs to be recompiled for the pure-capability ABI.

Edit: To answer the first question, yes, that is the primitive which enables CHERI to be used for in-address-space compartmentalisation rather than relying on an MMU for process-based separation and all the overheads that come from context switching address spaces.
It's pretty hard to build a study... You have to get a group of participants who are willing to drink alcohol everyday or never drink it again depending on which group they are assigned to.
> In my country (Sweden) subtitles are the norm for imported content, with most of that content being in English.

That was the norm as I was growing up in Israel, with the exception being children's programming (usually animation) that was dubbed. The dubbing was usually quite good, and done by actors prominent in children's programming.

OTOH, being bilingual myself, the poor translation of subtitles was constantly driving me up the wall. I just couldn't ignore the mismatch between the dialog in English and the subtitles in Hebrew, but the rest of my family wouldn't agree to let me cover the bottom fifth of the screen.

Semantically, the translations were generally accurate except in infrequent cases where the translator obviously misheard something or translated a phrase overly literally (more often with non-RP British or Australian English than American), but stylistically, the translation was always bland and "correct" (eg. "sure" and "yeah" and "you bet" would all inevitably be translated as "yes").

We make trade offs of short-term benefit and long-term risk all the time. When considering the purely recreational intake of a substance, the long-term risks are more relevant (due to the relatively small short-term gain) than for a vaccine which has unknown risks but has now-proven significant short-term benefits.
I would much rather legalize pot over alcohol being illegal. If alcohol had the same usage as pot we would have far fewer deaths. My only complaint is that pot smells awful (though alcohol isn’t much better).
Kava is great and for sure is wonderful in a social setting. I've taken to Kava recently and enjoy it casually (1 to 2 times a week) as its a shorter duration than alcohol, I get no hangover, and while I relax I don't lose my inhibitions. I also have drank it at a kava bar and find it to be an enjoyable social experience where the atmosphere is very bar like. I'm not totally against alcohol but Kava for sure is underrated and scratches many of the same itches as it were. Highly recommended.
Wow, if you’re having these dreams without the aid of substances, I envy you. The most intellectual dreams I seem to be able to come up with “unenhanced” are falling off buildings and being late to college exams while having no pants on.

What's a good alternative, though?

It's delicious and it lets you collectively guard down in a way that creates a bond of trust. It's a difficult thing to substitute.

When one of my friends went to China on business and came back with "stories" I realized that KTV visits (prostitutes) performed a similar function, but honestly a glass of wine seems a bit more wholesome.

I'm not saying you should avoid coconut oil, I just think it's a very questionable claim that cooking with coconut oil instead of other plant based oils like canola oil is going to improve your health in any way.
To be honest, as a customer, it is hard for me to justify using DynamoDB. Some of this criticism can be out of date:

1. DynamoDB is not as convenient. There are a bit too many dials to turn.

2. DynamoDB does not have a SQL facade on top.

3. DynamoDB is proprietary, I believe there's no OSS API equivalent if you want to migrate out.

4. DynamoDB was kind of expensive. But it has been a while since I last check the pricing page.

It's simply much better to start with PostgreSQL Aurora and move to a more scalable storage based on specific uses-cases later. For example: Cassandra, Elastic, Druid, or CockroachDB.
Agreed, although a single shot of moonshine is a equivalent to a little over a pint of beer. You can drink that and be well within alcohol consumption guidelines in US. Even most alcohol-naïve people would only be minimally intoxicated from a single shot of moonshine.
Unless some artists start to use the keys to let the customer the visualization of the art. Anyway this would be the end of art as we know it... obviously...
Missing mass? Not on our watch–Dr. Paul Sutter explains dark matter
This is a correlation fallacy.

The group of moderate drinkers is also the group of the most healthy. That doesn't necessarily mean that moderate drinking is healthy.

Because guess what else correlates with moderate drinking? Affluence.

Guess where poor people fall more in either the "never or hardly" category or the "binge drinking" category. Either you feel like you're too poor to afford to drink and thus do so only rarely. Or you've just completely given up and all your money goes to drinking.

What else correlates with affluence? Overall health outcomes. If you're poor, you also can't really afford to go to the doctor regularly.

So what the study really tells us is what we already know: having a reasonable amount of money is good for you.
Bingo. A lot of studies that purport health benefits from drinking are comparing "sick quitters" who drank themselves into health problems to normal people who have the occasional drink and don't bother to control for socioeconomic status

They host the masters because they are most prestigious, not the other way around.

Any golf club can host the masters, all you need is some well-maintained grass. but Augusta will always be exclusive to the power brokers of society.

Augusta, like NFT is an exclusionary club only meant for rich people. Both are useless, and probably harmful to society at large, but fulfill a basic human need.
I don't know what audience this is for. I imagine most folks know this if they have concepts of observability and monitoring. For others, or when working on side projects, tailing is a perfect fit.

America only ends up with a majority because the system creates and only has room for 2 political parties.

If America had a more hand wavey European like system, then America would likely have 2+ parties.
I guess the follow up question would be: How do our more northern areas go about winterizing -- do they do the extra NG system as you suggest? Or do they also freeze and nobody does it any better than Texas? I had thought the winterization claims stemmed from areas that experience this weather more frequently having solved it, or at least improved it, so it would be more interesting to compare to how they handle it. Esp if the cited mandates are federal and e.g. affect them as well?
A bit of alcohol makes you feel good, there's no two ways about it.
And, for many, it soothes their anxieties - or just loosens them up.

I can have fun without alcohol, no problem. But I can't deny that I like the taste of alcoholic drinks / beverages, and I enjoy the effect.

Same with sugar - I can enjoy a life without candy, but once in a while, I enjoy eating candy.

It's all about moderation.
Personal anecdote but I disagree. I started smoking pot regularly after college and moving to a state where it was legal. It mostly displaced alcohol in my social circle. I thought it was harmless and 'superior' to drinking. I cannot have pot around anymore and was somewhat difficult to finally quit. While the consequences of pot addiction and difficulty in quitting are much lower than that of alcohol; the barrier to forming an addiction is also much lower. Pot undermined my life, mental health, social life, and motivation while using it. It's just too easy to get high, and too easy to tell yourself 'it's only pot, and it's not harmful.' Now I'll drink a couple beers after work some days, or some days I wont. But I don't think about how I want to go home and drink while I'm at work and it doesn't leave me in a groggy anti-social haze for 24 hours after using it. For me, alcohol is a much healthier drug.
I don't see it as a good quote and was puzzled as to its inclusion. It is simply a play on the words 'safe level' and equating it to other things. My best guess is that it's meant to appeal to the "I hear you but wish to continue drinking anyway" thought process, which is fair. This kind of equation is not.
It's EXACTLY like that in a Tesla. Even when your hands are on the wheel, you still get nagged to tug on it constantly. Autopilot is not a groundbreaking feature at all. It's just like the Audi Q5 (my wife owns one, and I end up driving that all the time as well since my wife has terrible night vision). My wife specifically pointed out (in a critical way) "What's the big deal with Tesla? My car does the same thing." I had to explain to her that most people conflate FSD with Autopilot.

I grow accustomed to stackoverflow based doppelganger sites but this was for me a new level of scam. Bitcoin consume a lot of energy, but at least you can believe that it might ultimately end up being usable in some way. This look like a pure waste of resource to generate and store automated video content that is actually LESS accessible than the original in order to mine a few buck.

Do you think it's ethical or are you internally screaming as I am right now?

For what it's worth, most physical art investment isn't much better than that.

The amount of art that is (essentially) forever locked up in "toll and tax free warehouses" (Zollfreilager, no idea about the actual English word) is immense - alone in the warehouses of Geneva, there are over 120.000 pieces of art worth many billions of dollars [1]. No one can visit or see them, they are only tokens and change owners at auctions for ever higher and higher prices.

Art loses its meaning that way, it's yet another enjoyment that has been hijacked and completely transformed by hyper-capitalism and money laundering, not to mention looting, theft [2] and Raubkunst (art pieces confiscated by the Nazi regime mostly from Jews, ending up sold on the open market or being kept by Nazi officials and museums).

They are not going to make 'ALL' their games exclusive even if they wanted to. That would be silly. I would expect that their new spin-off IP of an existing franchise to be exclusive.

They will make their main franchise games close to free on their Game Pass platform and they will become more expensive on other platforms regardless. That is what will happen.

It was a strange mix. She was a very loving mother when I was a kid. She told me that I was a wanted child (not an accident), and that I was the most important person in her life. I have good memories from when I was 4 to 8 years old. Things took a turn for the worse when her mental illness surfaced, but it was always like, she really wanted to be a good parent and she really tried her best, but the mental illness made that difficult/impossible.
