Have you ever had your blood cholesterol tested? You know how they tell you not to eat beforehand?

It's trivial to see the effect of foods on serum cholesterol. It's not some unknown part of science that statistical analysis can only partially shed light on. Person eat egg; person cholesterol go up.

>Harvard ought to be a good source

"Harvard" isn't disagreeing with me here. The author is saying that dietary cholesterol with other fats is what determines disease risk. High dietary cholesterol with high saturated fat increases risk of coronary heart disease.

>>The amount of cholesterol in your diet and the amount of cholesterol in your blood are very different things.

>I could probably steal healthline's sources but I'll just leave it here.

The egg industry claim is that "high dietary cholesterol doesn't raise serum cholesterol". The word "serum" means in your blood. We are concerned with what foods raise your blood cholesterol (because high serum cholesterol is a necessary condition for heart disease). While it might be the case in some studies that high dietary cholesterol IN ISOLATION FROM OTHER FOODS doesn't raise serum cholesterol, high cholesterol eaten with the foods it's most commonly eaten with does cause high serum cholesterol.

>...Your testosterone will be tremendously low...

The reason this is all relevant is because people's cholesterol is way too high and heart disease has become a leading cause of death in developed nations.

Korg ships a module with their Kronos workstation that re-exports some GPL symbols as non-GPL.

They also ship the source for the kernel itself, but "conveniently" forgot to include a patch they added for DRM that makes their synthesizer module (yes the synth runs in kernel space) fail to work properly if missing. Some obfuscated change to the CD-ROM subsystem (yes really, they stuck some unrelated protection in there as obfuscation)

Blatant GPL violations are rampant.
Missing in the bias statistics was the rate at which various groups wore helmets. Enforcement bias cannot be inferred without these figures, which were missing from every article I read about it.
Which of the stats do you think sounds ridiculous? SIDS for example is pretty rare to begin with (33.3 deaths per 100,000 per Google). At the end of the day I'm guessing the advice maybe saves a few lives on a population level, but only gives a slight statistical advantage to a proactive parent.

I wish I had links to actual publications. I copied the numbers from a lecture given by a senior obstetrician.
There are many universal experiences, pattern matching is sort of a software developers forte. My comments went into the negative and then brought back to a positive, so I’m not alone. The OP has not refuted anything either.
I have an index and have done a bit of beat saber. I wouldn't really recommend it for exercise. Beat saber specifically, can be exhausting, but it doesn't require much more than moving your arms for most levels. You may soon learn to adapt and actually just move your wrists more than your arms. I can do all but 5 or so of the base content songs on expert+ and while I do enjoy and recommend the game, I cannot say its a great idea for exercise.

Being out of breath isn't actually great evidence of of a good exercise. A few things I particularly dislike:

* Headset gets sweaty

* Content that requires you to perform well can be harder to do when tired, so the exercise part gets less and less as you just fail. Yeah, you can tweak settings to not auto lose, but if the gamification of your exercise stops working then you might as well just do real exercise. This goes the other way too in that you may just get too good at the game and the gamification part is gone for all but the most extremely difficult pieces of content.
Our legal system is built on case law. Reading the law as it was passed is not enough - one must consult rulings in the relevant jurisdiction for precedence. I think the benefits of making this type of information widely available outweighs the potential downsides.
Ask HN: Should I Quit College?
I am making at 22 as a software developer and consultant at multiple startups around 650K USD/annum and I Still have one semester at university.

(Computer Engineer major BTW) Everyone I know told me not to but I work around 12-14 hrs a day and I do not have a single second for uni anymore
Kinda weird place and context to ask, but... OK look I'm not an academic. I have my degrees but for the most part it was "use APA/MLA/etc. for full points". Nothing published, plenty researched enough to publish if the circumstances were better. That said, I don't know enough about how much weight is given to biological history. Breastfeeding was not an option for the vast majority of mammalian history, as far as I understand. Wet nurses or surrogate mothers notwithstanding, babies of all kinds have needed and thrived on a mother's milk. Just because we cleverly figured out alternatives in the last 0.0001% of human history doesn't mean it's better, to me. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.
I'm sure everyone is different, but for us, basically all crying was solved by just nursing for a bit (obviously a diaper change is different).

After 6 or 9 months they get genuinely bored and nursing isn't a fix-all... but it's really a fix-most.
For others that are interested in VR fitness games, here's a few more suggestions:

- SuperHot: while less cardio focused at the higher levels it really has you doing a lot of slow, deep squats and stretches as you dodge and move around. I recommend trying to do the "Whole game in 10 minutes" mode as that's an easy chunk of time to spend. It's been great to loosen up my back after being at the desk for too long or as a quick way to get over the sleepiness of a big lunch.

- Synthriders: a lot of people know BeatSaber already, but I prefer this as the music is more vaporwave and there's a more varied move set and better 360 mode.

- The Climb 1+2: more a pleasant mental break than anything else, but fun.
There have been quite a few IPv6-only CVEs, too. If you aren't actively using it, having it enabled just increases your attack surface.
Your story doesn’t add up. Since a CS degree isn’t a pre-requisite to be a tester, and a CS degree goes a good way toward qualifying for a better paid software development job, why are your companies predominantly hiring testers with CS degrees? Why did the testers get the degrees just to let them go “dormant”?
When you say used to persucute, that's not accurate in any legal sense. Many states have statewide repositories of court data. Also, when you say "can be used for", that's extremely broad and as far as a standard for taking a position on something, I don't think that makes a lot of sense. Do you mind clarifying?
I'd argue that it does not, at least from a privacy perspective. Sites that could be completely client-side but are used less than once a week now need to keep user data and authenticate users. Another solution to that would be to allow asking for longer storage after some engagement.

My OP points should actually seriously reduce trash and enhance privacy since not every single site you visit can use your storage for 7 days, only those you actually engage with.

The variability is directly tied to the importance of the users data in storage. A user clicks on a "Read later" button that would imply the 45 day rule (or 90 if he spends more time), if a user adds a file or enters text it's the 180 day rule.

I have yet to encounter a site that alerts me to come back with in 7 days, they all just save the data server-side, which I don't feel is privacy friendly.
There is no irony, I think there is just confusion. The Windows license is much more restricting, you are never going to be able to ship Windows for your customers alongside your Windows kernel module unless you/they pay for Windows.
GPL allows you to distribute Linux for your customers at your behest as long as you satisfy certain requirements, namely, source. The way I view it, it is not adding restrictions whatsoever, it is actually adding allowances. More permissive licenses add even more allowances.
>Breakthrough COVID exists and isn't at all uncommon.

The difference between a "breakthrough COVID" case in a vaccinated person and a COVID infection in an unvaccinated person is a complete elimination in the risk of death and greatly reduced chances of severe illness and long-term disability. It's VERY preferable to be vaccinated.
It can be both simultaneously true that breast milk is better than formula, but that formula is also fine. This is obviously traumatic to hear if you are a woman who cannot breastfeed, but that doesn't make it less true.
I love this from that page:

> The term "5 nm" is simply a commercial name for a generation of a certain size and its technology, and does not represent any geometry of the transistor.

And I learnt something new: it seems like MTr/mm² is the metric in use now. I wonder if marketing will find a way to co-opt that?
I don't have linkedIn, and I usually get messages after an article got some attention on social networks :)

CGNAT is a menace to any low latency connection since now your route needs to jump through some NATed hops that may be under varying amounts of load depending on how large the translation tables are. Things get worse if connectivity has to be established by some middlebox as you have no idea how many hops it takes to go to the middlebox and you have no guarantee how loaded this box is. Using a public TURN server can be terrible for VoIP call latency.

I have likely spent more time around people like this than you.

Your feelings do not give you the right to deprive others' children of the adversity they need to grow into adulthood.

That's my point.

Managing Modern Complexity (1970)
I had twin daughters in 2019 and was given 3 months of paternity leave, and I don’t know how we would have survived without it. I did a 12 hour shift at night, and fed them and changed their diaper on a schedule (every 2 hours iirc)

This reduced a lot of the whining because they were always clean. I also had a swing to put them in when they were upset, and that handled most of those issues. Overall it was tedious but not very stressful because I could do it full time.

Anyway establishing a consistent routine really helped me. I wouldn’t wait until they’re starting to get fussy over something if it can be avoided.
Having an agency is a book length topic. Of course a HN message is going to be short & simple. After all, people don't read long postings. <= yes, that's another generalization, but it's reasonably accurate.

I've seen estimates that 70-80% of health problems are the result of lifestyle choices.
Open access to orbit and runaway space debris growth
"As Earth's orbits fill with satellites and debris, debris-producing collisions between orbiting bodies become more likely. Runaway space debris growth, known as Kessler Syndrome, may render Earth's orbits unusable for centuries. We present a dynamic physico-economic model of Earth orbit use under rational expectations with endogenous collision risk and Kessler Syndrome.

When satellites can be destroyed in collisions with debris and other satellites, the open-access equilibrium manifold allows for multiple steady states. When debris can collide to produce more debris, at least one steady state may be a tipping point and Kessler Syndrome can occur along equilibrium paths. We show open access is increasingly and inefficiently likely to cause Kessler Syndrome as satellites become more profitable.

Calibrated simulations reveal Kessler Syndrome is expected to occur in low-Earth orbit around 2048 under recent historical sectoral growth trends, and may occur as early as 2035 if the space economy grows consistent with projections by major investment banks. These results highlight the urgent need for modeling and policy approaches which incorporate open access and positive feedbacks in debris growth."

Same for my 2.5 year old. She still won't nap at home. FYI we have a Tesla and it works just as well as our gas SUV.

Trouble I'm having now is she wakes up the second I pull into the driveway. Somehow she knows we're home even if she's fast asleep. I back into a parking spot? Doesn't wake up. I back into our driveway? Wakes up if she's been asleep for 10 minutes or 50 minutes.
That’s arguably better ;) thanks for the explanation.
You can set up a cronjob to run hourly to remove logfiles using `crontab -e`. That would achieve almost the same effect.
Absolutely, but I think the general public tends to completely misinterpret what they’re looking at and will often make faulty conclusions if they’re not given the full context provided through formal training (eg. Dr. Google).

The repercussions of an employer doing their own unqualified background check in someone can be detrimental to a person’s future wellbeing.
The article doesn't say the government is the reason children could not have decent chemistry sets in the 1970's and '80's. That's the straw-man argument. However, I can't prove that fear of the government, due to what could be seen as an anti-government article, is the reason Hacker News pulled the post from the feed. I really don't know.

What are "PCIe SSD speeds"? A good CPU can do thousands of megabytes per second using a LUKS with a strong cipher (ecryptfs is a very different thing, not speaking of that). What numbers did you get from "cryptsetup benchmark"?

Saying you want "actually competent encryption" and then resorting to using "BIOS SSD password encryption thingy" is kinda funny.
This reminds me of the first year I lived in New Mexico, I had moved there from Wisconsin and one night the TV warns us of an “Emergency Weather Alert”, so I look to my wife and, fearing the worst, I say “maybe we should go stock up on some groceries.” A few minutes later we learn that they are expecting up to an inch of snowfall in the next five hours. We almost died laughing about it.
The rise of lawsuits is because that's how the system "works". For better or worse. The US doesn't have the same sort of oversight watchdog groups with actual power like in the EU, so lawsuits with threat of monetary damages is how coffee is no longer flesh-burning scaldingly hot.
You could not buy a decent chemistry set for your child in the 1970's and 1980's and supervise him. That is the point.
> I don't believe "scientific code" is fundamentally different from any other code, I would go with following normal development practices

That depends on the field. In the part of bioinformatics I work (mostly combinatorial algorithms; floating point numbers are rare) normal software development practices often cease to be relevant the moment someone mentions design.

Writing research code is a part of doing research, and a key feature of research is that you often don't know what you are supposed to do. When I start writing code, I tend to expect that the code will solve the wrong problem in the wrong way. Once I have something that runs, I start experimenting with data to learn more about the problem domain. Eventually I have a better idea what the code is supposed to do (and maybe even how it should do that), and then it's time to rewrite and iterate. Design only becomes relevant in late stages of the project when I'm confident I know the problem I'm supposed to solve.

There are some similarities to prototyping, but it's prototyping over problems rather than over solutions to a particular problem.
I'm not an expert, but I think you're referring to only one part of our lineage. Neanderthals, Denisovans etc. are also ancestral species for most of us and I don't believe they originated in Africa, did they?
My point is that folks should consider their tone and words carefully on this topic.

There are a great many women out there who would like to be breastfeeding, but can't, for various reasons. And the amount of guilt and shame experienced by many in this group, because of the glib culture surrounding breastfeeding, is doing severe and lasting damage to many parents' mental health.

While not optimal, formula is a healthy and viable alternative. That's really all that needs to be said about this.
Can't edit to clarify but I meant to say that breastfeeding was not an option in the sense that there were no other choices. In case anyone cares.
Is there a Canadian version? Or something similar within a Canadian context.
Not entirely true: goats milk was the nearest substitute in recent history. My wife's great grandfather was fed with goats milk from an infant age.
> But there's again, nothing that implies property here.

Yes, there is. You're implying you're entitled to the work those people might do, and so you get to control their behavior. This is ownership.
These two things are not mutually exclusive. Despite the word count this is a pretty low-effort, superficial article.
Good question. Not that I'm aware of.
John Hopkins has a bunch on this:
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...

I think the general consensus (WHO, CDC, American Pediatrics, etc) is that breastmilk is beneficial and reduces the risk of things like asthma, digestive issues, SIDS, etc, but there are a lot of questions of whether it needs to be exclusive and for how long it needs to be to get the benefits.
Yup Google doesn’t have a good alternative for a wiki and they are invaluable in companies. Notion is the best wiki I’ve seen, not trying it because it isn’t Google is bad advice
Correlation doesn’t imply causation. Can you speak to the causal link that would make any of these statements compelling?
So it's not really idiot-proofing, it stems from this:

You have two innocent people. One harms the other, unintentionally. Who pays for the damage?

ex. I throw a rock, it hits your windshield. Total accident. Should I pay?

ex. I manufacture an atv - it's really fun to ride, but it tends to flip over, killing the rider. I obviously don't intend for this to happen, but it does, several times. Should I pay for this? Should the government regulate it?
Two bits I’d add:

1. I printed and laminated a card listing the reasons the Baby could be crying. And tied it to the side of the crib. When you’re sleep deprived it can help to have this list available to you.

2. #7 on my list was “sometimes babies just need to cry.”

My family swore that the witching hour was consistent with the sun rising or setting. And that the fix was to be outside with the baby.

I've got a lot of concerns about your use of language here, because:

1) Tyranny is different to cruelty. Tyrants don't have to be cruel.

2) How is this not oppression? Someone wants to buy their son a chemistry kit, the son is probably all excited about it because there is something dangerous and exciting to learn about and then some random enforcer is coming in and stopping that from happening because they disagree with that family's value judgements. If that isn't oppression in the small, oppression may not exist. Oppressors can all say that they're worried about the safety of the people they oppress - that is a common argument oppressors make if they feel like justifying themselves. Imagine that line coming out of the mouth of a Communist Party spokesperson over in China, they aren't implementing their policies out of a sense of malice - they think they are good for China.
This conversation feels like there's just a slight disconnect between what "trustworthy" means. It's either an intrinsic quality that one possesses, or it's an external quality created by outside perception. It either means you are actually worthy of trust or that others find you worthy of trust.

Or, at least, I had both definitions rattling around in my head, and had to think through which one I actually believed is correct. Sample size of 1 and all that.
> It's not defeatism-- it's just being realistic.

You must have heard that line from pessimists 10,000 times before. There would be no startups, science, democracy, etc. if people believed it. We'd be living in caves - 'let's be realistic, we've been living in them for 190,000 years!'

> I don't believe there's any useful method to make government actors comply with the law.

The evidence is overwhelmingly otherwise: Many, many government actors have been caught, prosecuted and punished, at every level - including multiple Presidents, at least one Vice President (off the top of my head), members of Congress, federal judges, generals and admirals, and more, and that's just the federal level.

Goverments have widely differing levels of corruption, and the US has in the past been one of the best - so it's effective. Other countries are also more and less effective than the US, and we can see what they do and what works. There is plenty of research. Nothing is stopping you, but you.

The current trend in defeatism - against all evidence, in a country with one of the most effective governments in the history of humanity - serves someone's interests. Who? Who benefits from spreading this message?

I’m only replying on the Internet, I’ve never given anyone baby advice (or any other, for that matter) I wasn’t asked for.

That said, breastfeeding is the only way babies were fed for almost all of our species time here. IMHO, if anything needs scientific evidence in its favor before I believe it’s good are alternatives to breastfeeding.
