I hope this doesn't mean we have to endure 20 years of this name on the nba court. With all this gambling (sports betting) sponsoring of the NBA and now these crypto sponsors, it really does look like the NBA has sold out (also new trikot sponsor deals). It's a shame how much they feast on hooking impressionable men on gambling. Actually, thinking about it, there should be more ads for f2p/mobile games, would fit perfectly in this portfolio.

I'm not getting that kind of attitude from this document. It seems to just be a holistic counterpoint to the "common knowledge" that "a little bit of alcohol can be good for the heart". What is this intense negativity you're sarcastically paraphrasing?
Here in our corner of Austin we had 100+ hours without electricity and 60+ hours without water followed by multiple days of having to boil it to make it potable. We had zero notion that the grid was that fragile. We also have zero confidence that fragility will be effectively addressed. OPEC, after all, was modeled on the Texas Railroad Commission. So we are stocking paper plates and bowls, excess (and rotated} canned goods, a weather radio with a hand crank generator, a folding tin camp stove with a flat of sterno, plenty of oil and wicks for our hurricane lamps, etc. We're too old for this shit...

This is hilarious. This company is literally at the apex of the crypto industry and this is the kind of mistake they make. Yeah, immutable smart contracts written by their fellow proponents will also save the world lol
You’re playing the same fuck-fuck games that Snopes plays.

The claim is “convicted terrorist”. Those are two claims: 1) she is a terrorist and 2) she was convicted. Even Snope admits she was convicted of crimes linked to terrorism, but the link is subjective.

”it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

What was this left-wing revolutionary doing with hundreds of pounds of illegal explosives? Starting a mining company?

It’s just splitting hairs to such a degree you try and weasel out of a perfectly rationale take.

It’s like saying someone is a “convicted robber” then saying the claim is “mixed” because they weren’t convicted of robbery but rather assault and theft. Well, ok, but clearly that’s a distinction unworthy of calling out?

While we're at it, let's de-stigmatize the abuse of substances and treat it like a real mental health issue.

Literally everyone involved in the treatment and support of substance abuse does that, whether it's treatment facilities or social groups like AA and Al-Anon. As they should. Every family I know has been affected in one way or another by drug or alcohol addiction and has firsthand knowledge that substance abuse must be treated like an illness and to forgive (but not forget) the damage it causes. So I'm not exactly sure your statement reflects reality.

Source that most Americans drink little or no alcohol? Apparently in 2019, 54.9% of respondents[1] had alcohol in the last month. And I would imagine polls like this are generally under-reported, not over.

That is strange. But I am sure a small amount of cigarettes is good for lungs.
Alcohol is a carcinogen, it's bad for the liver, and while I didn't know, I'm not surprised it's bad for the heart.

Keep drinking to a minimum, and if possible keep it social. Life's short, enjoy a beer or glass of whiskey, but try to minimize it's harms, or just take mushrooms.

Also keep an eye out if you're a binge drinker, it's the second type of alcoholic, you don't drink everyday, but when you do drink you drink until you pass out.

Yes, this is exactly how I use Doom. When I first found it, I transplanted its startup optimizations into my existing config, but left everything else alone. When I look to do something new in Emacs, one of my first instincts is "well, let's see how Doom is doing it."

It's works well because I fall into the Evil+Use-package Emacs hegemony with my custom config.
Yes that is an anecdote. We get better info by looking at large groups of people and that is what the recommendation is based on.

The comment never claimed that alcohol is worse than synthetic opioids or cigarettes. The comment stated it is one of the worst drugs.

Of course it isn’t. Drink water. Unfortunately some people believe they can’t enjoy themselves without alcohol.

It’s curious:

- babies have fun without drinking

- kids have fun without drinking

- some teens have fun without drinking

Then at some point some people, as adults, feel like they have to drink to enjoy themselves? I wonder what happened.

No not be a total joke as a gov't. I love the stories on "refer scare" and the prohibition (which has become some big historical period like the renaissance, merely by retarded gov't policy).

And not like we're done with it. New Zealand is considering to ban tobacco sales to the next generation. What could probably go wrong with that? Is age discrimination now all of a sudden okay?

Typescript works fine with it's extensions to the language. In fact, I can't imagine how it would not work fine - that would be a serious issue in the official compiler or tools.

It's the other tools that author is/was using that are having issues. It's silly to provide blanket statements about very useful features like enums or namespaces just because some third-party tool is struggling with them IMO.
You can also name your type with the same name as the value:

Stevia was never banned in the US, but it is still not "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA, so it cannot be sold as food. It does get sold as a "dietary supplement", though.

Not everyone needs a full copy of the blockchain to run a node.

A pruned full node downloads and validated all blocks, then discard everything not relevant to its own wallet.

A variety of “light clients” are also available for most chains, which fetch transaction data from peers as needed (usually using something like bloom filters to increase privacy).

Most ethereum apps just go through Infura. That’s a horrible centralized single point of failure that I’m not advocating, but the point is there are many ways a wallet app can connect to a remote full node.

I know some synthetic chemists, and getting some new compound that they've made, to grow into a crystal, is a huge thing. With a good crystal, you can get a molecular structure from X-Ray crystallography. Also, crystallizing something and washing away the solvent, was a way to purify a compound.

The chemists talked about all sorts of rituals and superstitions, to coax a compound to crystallize. Usually it was just in good fun, something to talk about when a particular compound was being stubborn.

With drug compounds, a different crystal structure of the same compound is a different drug. And complicated compounds can have multiple stable structures. Getting particular crystal structures to grow reliably in large quantities is a big deal for the drug business.

So it's definitely more than a hobby, but yet everybody enjoys seeing these nice big crystals.

>Studies have shown that even small amounts of alcohol can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease

I've never drunk alcohol before. Is it worth never having it? Does one drink really ruin your body that much.
The NIH itself says different:

* 85.6 percent of people ages 18 and older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime

* 69.5 percent reported that they drank in the past year

* 54.9 percent reported that they drank in the past month

A fitbit helped me discover how terrible alcohol is for your heart. I could clearly see which days I would have a drink because my average resting heart rate would go from 63-65 to 77-80!
Depends how much you drink.

And I mean, cigarettes are cool. There's a reason they still exist as a trope in movies and it's not all due to marketing. It lends something to the character.

That's not to say there isn't or can't be a healthier replacement, of course.
It is only logical if you assume that the producer is the only source of information that can or can not be trusted.

That is not reality. There are many sources of information supporting the same claim even if an important one of them (the manufacturer) can not be trusted. An untrustworthy manufacturer can still make a good product.
These are all interesting questions and dilemmas. However I'm not sure they are as interesting as the act of cashing-in on the hype. Until these issues become more interesting for market participants, it is largely a moot point.

We can discuss it everyday for the next year, but the trend will continue regardless of how rational or irrational HN's scruples are.

The discussion can still be interesting either way.
This is inspiring and might end up helping people around the globe. Much better than spending billions on trivial smartphone apps.
> Well the pilots are dead in a lot of incidents so it's kinda moot?

It's not moot because most occurrences don't result in death. Occurrences are investigated both to establish fault (which can and does sometimes result in pilots losing their flight status and/or jobs), and from a safety perspective to try to prevent or minimize future occurrences.

> Generally, in any kind of crash investigation the pilots are one of the least important things to look at

This is not true. Most accidents and incidents are caused at least in part by pilot error.

> telling people to do X or Y to mitigate some risk has a terrible track record.

This is not true at all, at least when it comes to aircraft pilots. As anyone who's been to flight school knows, about 90% of the curriculum could reasonably be described as "telling the pilot to do X or Y to mitigate risk". And it works! There are millions of flights every year, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of them are safe (because pilots actively & successfully mitigate risk).
Yeah, it also feels grimey and risky, like buying crappy drugs in an alley.
I came here to say this as well. Who are these guys and why have they gotten this crucial point wrong?
It's not treated that way by society at large.

Treat here not in the "provide medical care for" sense but in the "interpretation" sense, as in, "I know it's a polka, but I'm going to treat it like a waltz."
I don't see why it implies that. "Arm releases experimental DDR5-enabled $NAME board" wouldn't make it sound like DDR5 is only for Arm, so why would "Arm releases experimental CHERI-enabled Morello board"?
My take: Real Money Neopets.
Everything is a balance though, isn't it?

If a little alcohol reduces one's stress and increases socialization, then they may be better off with the alcohol on net.
Could you please explain to me the logical link between the scientific evidence that alchol is harmful in any quantity and the concepts of "having fun" and being a "slave to society"? Let's also overlook your dogwhistle regarding "eating the bugs"
While the grains thing was particularly stupid advice, recommendations haven’t changed as much as you’d think. The guidelines from reputable sources as far back as the 60s and 70s were fine. They didn’t understand how deadly refined carbs were, but recommended eating fruits, vegetables while limiting desserts and too much fatty meat; now you might be eating a bit too much carbs without understanding the risks, but you should be perfectly fine with that diet.

People have been making noise about this issue for a very long time. Doctors know this stuff is poison and causes cancer. It’s always seemed silly that just the right amount of poison is good somehow. Of course, you don’t know without study, but experienced people can see areas where the data doesn’t seem to make sense.

I remember hearing about this stuff a few years ago and it was nothing new, even then. We know that early studies looked good because many “sick quitters” stop drinking due to their failing health. This makes non-drinkers look less healthy. Now this stuff is still actively studied and many of the pro-alcohol people insist it’s still healthy, but the writing has been on the wall for at least 5-10 years; no amount of alcohol is “healthy”.
I don't know much about NFTs, but I understand it as a sort of "certificate" (?).

Like buying the rights of an old album; an album for which the original is lost. I might receive some piece of paper that says the songs are now mine. Of course, there are already thousands of copies of the songs, but (somehow) now the songs are mine, and I can certify it.

> but at the end of the day, they are digital tokens

I can simplify everything up to the point of saying that the 10 bucks bill you have in your pockets is just a piece of paper, but we all know it's more complicated than that.

Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not, typically because of their lack of visibility.

Which ones? They say to regulate who can sell alcohol, raise prices/taxes, raise the drinking age, limit advertising, add prominent warnings...I guess those first few are arguably "anti-fun", but they don't seem especially so.
I’m generally pro-legalization, but there are many things that we hypothesize are safe but do not know the long-term effects of and, within living memory, have discovered that many things initially thought safe were not.

People were taking X-ray images of shoe fit in department stores, we used thalidomide to treat morning sickness, etc.

What society says is legal has an effect on how it is perceived and how frequently it’s accessed by minors, teens, young adults, and adults. Exercising a modicum of conservatism in approving all things that we think are safer than alcohol seems appropriate to me.
