It seems to be specific variety called Brassica oleracea longata (mentioned in the article) although in some places (https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Walking-Stick-Cabbage-Se...) it's called Brassica oleracea palmifolia which is a more widely known variety (cavolo nero in Italian).

How is it with plant genetics / breeding and taxonomy? When do you assert that something's a specific variety and apply a name to it?

Energy is a large portion of the cost of aluminum ingots or tanker cars full of ammonia. It is not a large portion of the cost of constructing new housing. I wouldn't start with energy prices if I were trying to figure out how to make housing affordable. I'd try to contrast e.g. Tokyo, where housing is reasonably affordable, against the city of New York, where it is much less affordable. Japan doesn't have cheaper energy than the US.
nice and simple. love it.
Haven’t many of the gains gone to the customers who are buying CNC parts? That competition and reduction in labor cost per part means that some people can now afford CNC parts who couldn’t have afforded manually crafted parts previously.

Consider meditating. Greed clouds the mind. Compassion is key. Follow your own path and it will become apparent. Or you can refer to the above comment, if that helps.
"Even if someone managed to invent a robot nanny that kept kids safe as well as a human being, I wouldn’t want it to take care of my baby. I bet you wouldn’t either."

This glosses over the purpose of child care -- it's more than safety, it's socialization, learning, etc. In a world where some level of automation (or offshoring) is possible for these services, I could definitely see some adoption. Think "Diamond Age."
I still dream of a world where IBM used the 68008 for the original IBM PC.
You could argue that the wealth of Swedes comes from the (indirect) exploitation of the poor. IKEA and H&M are household names that give Swedes and the world cheap clothing and furniture, virtually all of which is made by comparatively much poorer people in China, Bangladesh, etc.

> The key principle in medicine is to treat anyone who is sick, regardless of who they are.

The victims family is saying “Our principle is that people who stab Ed should not get a heart, therefore David should not get a heart.” The doctor is saying “Our principle is that we don’t use the patient’s past violence or convictions to determine whether they should get a heart or not, so the stabbing doesn’t disqualify David.”

Neither party can offer a valid argument as to why their principle is true, because both of their principles are normative.

Given now we have dedicated facilities withdrawals from social media, I suppose it is pretty addictive, maybe even as bad heroin, but at least as bad as stimulants.
Maybe you could at least address the points I gave instead of plainly ignoring them and repeating the same argument? I already addressed this - we aren't in tribal times. We can even grow organs in the lab. We can also coordinate complex routes to securing organ donations. There are so many available options. And again, if a heart from a pig that died naturally could be found, I'd be all for it. I think it adds a more to control than already a trans species heart, but that'd be my ideal.
Modern winches in scaffolding maybe? But certainly "no" to any reinforced concrete!

(Though neat the iron staples didn't cause the same problems that rebar does!)

Gothic cathedrals are, as far as I can tell, quite shockingly modern-like in their nature of being so delicately balanced. I think we would learn more from trying to do as historically-informed repairs as possible. Even though, yes, old buildings tend to be quite the hodgepodge of styles and methods.

That isn't the whole picture either, though, which is why I said someone shouldn't use this article to govern their choice about vaccination.

Someone who has already had Delta is susceptible to Omicron infection. Probably not a severe case, but it's a possibility.

More recent data indicates that adding a vaccination on top of a prior infection takes the risk of severe infection way way down.
a polyhedral compiler wouldn't find this either - polyhedral compilation is for finding optimal schedules for loop nests i.e., the order in which independent (wrt dataflow) iterations run. as far as i know you, a transpose can't be expressed in the polyhedral model.
> I’m arguing that no level of introduced “deterrent” fatality risk is an acceptable trade off for preventing a crime that itself isn’t punishable by death

All deterrents have a non-zero chance of causing death. People die in prisons, catch fatal viruses in court, etc. Indeed, even bitterants can cause allergic reactions, and so definitely have a non-zero probability of causing death.

So many sites.

For example much of MSN is totally non-functional w/o Javascript. E.g. this brings up a totally blank page: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/they-had-covid-19-once-the...

And of course Google really really wants JS to make it easier for them to spy on you. Youtube isn't useful w/o JS (but IIRC it used to at least somewhat function): https://www.youtube.com/ Fortunately search still works.

Twitter are twats and broke all functionality w/o JS, but nitter.net is a workaround! Just replace twitter.com with nitter.net to see the tweet.

Fortunately many sites that start out blank are quite functional w/o JS, just need to View -> Page Style -> No Styles. E.g. this one: https://www.politico.com/ ugly but readable.

From my PoV it's not "some paths are much better than others" so much as "almost all of the paths are not worth taking." The game feels really centralized around the 3 best PoPs and some Athanor/Philosopher's Stone gameplans (though other stuff can win and it's always fun to see that). I can't call any mages *blank* in the same way I can call some Roll starting devs blank, but your Druid is just not expected to have a great time against a Witch or Duelist or even a Seer.

This is all subjective, of course. The Splendor designers obviously intended for players who purchase a large number of small holdings to be able to win. Every variant in the expansion works to address this issue. Another player could reasonably say "Splendor has failed because everyone just rushes to buy about 2 big holdings." To me, "Splendor but everyone goes for big holdings right away" is still pretty good at being Splendor. "Res Arcana but you rush a PoP and get like 8 VPs from it and 2 from a monument" feels disappointing compared to the game I thought I would be playing. I'm glad you like it! A friend tells me the 2nd expansion makes a lot of things better, so I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Binary Tree Insertion in Rust
I was too rash with my comment. Indeed, string + string is also quite intuitive.
The Great Barrington declaration was a web form signed by such luminaries as 'Dr Johnny Fartpants', 'Professor Notaf Uckingclue', Dr Johnny Bananas”, “Professor Cominic Dummings” a resident at the “university of your mum” and another supposed specialist whose name was the first verse of the Macarena.

A web form with no verification step that tells people that they don't have to lock down is going to be seen by 10,000 weirdos on the internet for every one doctor or scientist. Not doing at least a first pass filter of removing obvious nonsense and counting doctors based on people checking a box robs them of all credibility.

Furthermore the notable authors who really are the primary minds behind it also pushed for an entire list of now discredited theories and flawed studies now known to be nonsense. Like claiming that we were nearly at the threshold for herd immunity back in 2020.

In retrospect their theories look even worse than they did at the time. Suggesting that we ought to let covid wash over half of us while the other half somehow stayed away from the first in October 2020 looks especially insane when vaccination began in December 2020. It's like being in an out of control truck hurtling towards the cliff with a fellow in the back yelling "jump jump you're going over anyway!" in retrospect with the perfect clarity provided by hindsight knowing that the truck will slow to a stop before hitting the cliff edge and going over that fellow looks either malicious or stupid.

Winter 2020 was bad but not bothering with precautionary measures would have meant many more would have faced covid without the better tools and vaccination to blunt the harm. Furthermore as deaths continued to rise as our health care system choked people would have eventually when deaths rose enough self imposed the isolation and economic consequences the declaration spoke out against being imposed from on high.

It's bad science, bad methodology, bad public policy, bad logic and bad faith. 'Professor Notaf Uckingclue' needs to go back to school.

To me the biggest difference between the "old" internet and current web is the advertising. It is not just the adds that are so much more prevalent, the web sites are designed to be visually appealing and that detracts from any content that might be there. "Old" internet had information and links to other information. "New" internet is all about facade with little content, just a title here, picture there, short video to grab attention and then hopefully serve as many adds as possible without (or before) turning you away.

> iMessage's manipulative strategy (because teenagers value social belonging) by Apple is morally corrupt

Apple decided to build better messaging on their platform. They saw that carriers simply didn’t care or understood messaging and decided to innovate and take care of the experience. Texting on iPhone just works. We should celebrate that. Google could have created a competing product as feature rich but instead decided to spawn and kill 10 different chat apps.

> Where Android is irrelevant and neglected

Honestly, the android handset makers are already neglecting their own OS, looking at the barely three years of support they offer.

> Please do not encourage the spread of iMessage

I already do. Honestly, I support the platform that just works. To me a phone is simply a tool to get things done.
Where did I exaggerate?

And how is requiring a process designed to induce "breakage", to use marketing term, not the same thing as a time limit?
I agree with this, but I think it's a step in the right direction. To wit, imagine a service like this, but it costs $20/mo, and it breaks all paywalls for you but allocates that $20 to the pay-walled things you read that month, piecemeal. It would save you a great deal of friction, far fewer accounts to maintain, and reduce your dependency on any single news-source. And of course authors stand to gain - as long as they are okay accepting a variable allocation for each consumption (which they almost certainly are).

Muchas gracias! I've been looking for something like that. Another interesting bit I learned from the link:

> While orbits about the L2 point are inherently unstable, the orbit size is large and the orbital velocity is low (~1 km/s), so the orbit "decays" slowly. However, JWST's large sun shield, roughly the size of a tennis court, is subject to significant solar radiation pressure which results in both a force and a torque. The direction of solar force varies as the observatory's attitude changes from observation to observation. The solar torque is balanced by reaction wheels, but periodically, the accumulated momentum is dumped by firing thrusters.

If I understand correctly: JWST needs thrusters not to counteract a decaying orbit (too little energy), but to counteract accumulated momentum from solar radition (too much energy).
Nobody is selling "Falcon X rockets". Space X sells rocket launches, because that is what other people want to buy. And JK Rowling could most definitely afford a couple rocket launches if she were so inclined.
I think the oscillator is a 'cheap' (low cost/energy) way of reporting the measurement. Since they're sampling the set of frequencies emitted by the oscillators it seems like they also could just encode the measurement as a frequency, but presumably that would involve more processing/energy/cost.

The old culture, social and technical, will never come back.

In the mid 90s the Internet was a medium that only around 1% of the world population had access to [0].

Getting online wasn't just some casual thing, people had to invest, money, time and effort to get online, so the whole "online experience" used to be treated very differently.

As everybody had to jump trough these hoops to get online, there was usually at least some shared interests about people that managed to find each other online.

Contrast that with today, where thanks to smartphones the majority of the world (65%) have access to the Internet like the most normal thing in the world, in most cases no special knowledge or major effort required anymore to "get in".

That Eternal September-esque [1] change in culture can't be reversed. Maybe it could be emulated on way smaller scales, with a lot of effort and segregation, but that would defeat the whole spirit and purpose of it.

What does trusted app mean? A priv esc means you're now worried that any other app has a vulnerability. You might trust your default weather app to not be malicious but do you trust it and hundred other standard apps to be secure?

I'm carrying a concealed weapon right now. (It's a S&W .380 M&P.) I have a card in my wallet that makes this completely legal in the state where I live, and in 35 other states. I'm always amazed at the culture clash between the anti-gun lobby (including the press), and people who choose to exercise an important constitutional right.

A gun is just a tool. It can be used for both good and bad purposes.

Also, the NY Post article says; "To some families, it’s an outrage that a person convicted of a violent crime would be awarded an organ others so desperately need. But doctors often disagree and there are no laws prohibiting someone with a criminal history from receiving a transplant."

Elsewhere in the same article, it says; "A jury found him guilty of battery and carrying a concealed weapon but acquitted him of of intent to murder. Washington County Circuit Judge Daniel Moylan called the stabbing a case of “extreme violence” and sentenced him to 10 years behind bars."

The facts of the crime are not given, but apparently a jury did not believe he intended to kill, and since the victim did not die right away, there was no killing to prosecute.
How is automation different from industrialization? This has been going on for 200 years more or less.

Maybe, if lower prices stops increasing consumption (and investment). So far, better automation has just made us build more.

But why should that all change now? If it does, the transition will probably be gradual and take decades.
I wish some of these larger companies would just charge me for real support. I would pay a monthly fee to Facebook, Pinterest, PayPal etc if it would entitle me to real support by a real human being.

> Buran (as a combined name, like Energiya-Buran program) had some better capabilities e.g. no toxic propellants onboard (Shuttle has to be chemically "pacified" after each landing) and longer orbital life (with cryogenics onboard).

My point is that they aren't capabilities, just specifications and promises for a cutting edge, developmental technology.
The Model T was released over a decade prior to the point mentioned in the article. Sure cars weren't the staple of American life they are today, but they were definitely accessible to the well-off people of the time.

Well, it's describing the iPad... with off-shored real-time tutoring providing most of the value. Even for the niche that can afford that (which should be larger than the niche that can afford in-person tutoring), I'm not aware of any services.
Baumol's cost disease has been discussed on HN a bunch in the past, but I really liked how the author reframed it as "Baumol's bonus", i.e. nannies are certainly not lamenting that they're getting paid more.
every discussion of poverty needs a discussion of absolute vs relative poverty. I'd say this report tips it's hand

> The share in poverty in any country depends on two factors: the average level of income and the level of inequality.

reducing inequality itself, while correlated, is not necessary for poverty reduction.

I'd love to see one of these official boards to decide that poverty is over when some absolute measure happens (even the currency one is a mess due to inflation numbers and currency manipulation) .

Eg to illustrate the point: maybe we could say poverty is over when less than .01% of the population dies from malnutrition. (plus other measures).
Hmmm.. I learned web development recently, there was a time were I didn't do anything, since I had no clue how to do some thing.

Freecodecamp (The website not the videos) is a good one. The main difficulty for recommendation(s) is.. I have no idea what's good for you or for anyone else.

I am better in doing my own things and figuring it out completely. (Which have to do anyway, because those tutorials aren't going to give you the "full package".)
Also - giving people money is likely to increase the cost of housing.

You could give everyone $1 bajillion dollars a month. The cost of housing would go up until a lot of people are still homeless.
DonutDB: A SQL database implemented on DynamoDB and SQLite
I think the reason the old internet was what it was was because the barrier to entry was much higher (computers cost a lot of money in the 90s/ early 00s, you needed to learn HTML (at a minimum) to put a website together, and you had to have a phone line available for dial up, you had to be curious or have curious friends to learn about the cool websites out there, etc.).

All of those filters meant a narrow spectrum of the population participated on the internet. It also meant the ratio of creator to consumer was much smaller. The market sold to itself (other creators), not just consumers; or in other words, the community existed to serve itself.

I think the same idea can be applied to any creative outlet (music, art..). As soon as everyone has access, and the old filters (e.g. the RIAA, publishers) are torn down, it loses its uniqueness and glamor and the culture collapses, morals aside.

The next "big thing" will have a high barrier to entry, whether it be costing a lot of money, or requiring a specific skillset that takes time to learn. It will attract driven people who live to create and build. And like everything else, the barrier will eventually be torn down leaving mediocracy in its place.
