I agree bribes are bad. But in my culture, with very low bribary and very high trust it is OK to put a solo mother out into the street with her children because she has been unable to pay inflated rents.

For some countries, where bribery is accepted, that treatment of a fellow human would not be. If those countries had economic power they might pass laws that sanctioned our landlords.

So we need to be careful when we defend other's economic practices. We should be aware, at least, of our own sins
This new reality puts extra emphasis on the need to construct tropical solar panel farms driving hydrogen, ammonia, and hydrocarbon synthesis for shipment to northern buyers.

A side trip to Google Maps suggests Cape Verde, coastal Peru, Senegal, northwestern Australia, and points around and opposite the Arabian peninsula as desert seaports for such installations.

However, it might turn out instead that partial shade in the tropics will be valuable in its own right, favoring co-siting with existing farm and pasture land, offering increased yield by reduced heat stress and evaporation loss, and, by lowering the operating temperature, increased conversion efficiency. Some of the synthesized ammonia would undoubtedly be welcomed, too, as fertilizer.

Easy ways to invest in such projects would be welcome.

I own the No.2 model[1] and have been squeezing it for a year. It's fun, mostly for handing it to tough guys and presenting it as The Pansy Test. Out of over a dozen grown men, none have closed it yet. Inevitably they eventually ask me if I can, to which I humbly reply "I think so." and do it several times. They always want to try again, some get mad. I'm small and insubstantial. That can be amusing.

But I've never perceived any benefit from using it.

He didn't even recuse himself from a case which we now find in the wide, as including his wife's texts which are not unrelated to his own role as a source of appeal in the matter of substance before the committee.

You can paint this warfare in the US polity any colour you like but I have no regard for Thomas, he undermined his own judicial independence when he failed to respect apprehended bias

Yes it's not trivial to balance these things and this is why there have been randomized control trials that look at long term end points where both the costs of false negatives and false positives come into play.

It's also why breast cancer screening is not recommended for everyone, just women over 50.

For women over 50 there has been a decades long sincere effort by the medical community to take this all into account and the consensus is that screening makes sense in that population.
I'm not an Australian; it appears the author is, so I'm wondering whether they have issues with their own laws.

The Defence Act 1903, "as amended and in force on 10 June 2019" seems to say that in Australia, everyone from 18-60 is liable to serve in a war:

"Part IV—Liability to serve in the Defence Force in time of war

Division 1—Liability to serve

59 Persons liable to serve in Defence Force in time of war

All persons (except those who are exempt from service under this Part or to whom this Part does not apply) who:

(a) have resided in Australia for not less than 6 months; and

(c) have attained the age of 18 years but have not attained the age of 60 years;

are liable, when called upon under section 60, to serve in the Defence Force."

Huh. Well, this is interesting. As someone who’s been sans spleen since age eight, all I ever heard or read about was my risk for minor bacterial infections to potentially turn into overwhelming sepsis. I was put on penicillin VK 250 mg twice a day prophylactically from the time of my splenectomy until age seventeen, when I transferred to an adult primary care physician instead of my pediatrician. I have to get the pneumovax (which protects against multiple strains of bacterial pneumonia) every five years. And I’m still constantly figuring out if I’m truly up-to-date on all my other vaccines, because some of them (like the new multiple flavors of meningitis vaccines) didn’t exist when I was younger. In short, I’ve also associated my lack-of-spleen with hypervigilance about health, and not as a potential benefit as this article posits.

Also, splenectomy led to some fun times during the pandemic because it was and is somewhat unclear whether being permanently immune-compromised due to a splenectomy applied really only to bacteria and sepsis risk, or possibly to virii like coronovairus too, since antibodies and the things that help you “clear” an infection (including a viral infection?) are also produced in your spleen. In the UK, having had a splenectomy was explicitly listed as a condition for what they called “shielding” during the worst of the pandemic, but in the US it was not considered to be a condition named for early access to a full third dose (rather than a booster) of the vaccine.

Other side effects, not mentioned in this article:

- I now have enormous tonsils, to the point where my uvula hangs at a 45 degree angle, probably because the tonsils are making up for the spleen loss, since they serve a somewhat similar function.

- As another commenter here notes, we basically only have long-term data on splenectomized people’s outcomes because of WWII. The small risk of quick sepsis is always going to be there, and did impact their lifespan. But we don’t have enough recent data, in an age of more available antibiotics, to say if there are other potential problems to look for.

- As for histamine/allergy or autoimmune issues being lessened in mice without spleens —- well, I have the same annoying allergies as everyone else in my family, take Claritin daily, and developed auto-immune antibodies due to celiac and then got the oft-associated thyroid problems. So, a sample size of one here, but a splenectomy didn’t seem to be protective against either of those immune-related outcomes here.

All that being said, I don’t miss having a spleen. It was breaking down my entire (congenitally somewhat mishapen) red blood cell supply as a kid, like a swimming pool filter run amuck, leading to anemia and exhaustion and pallor. And while removing it did not make my blood cells gain a normal shape and size, it completely changed my quality of life.

> ... Really, it's about whether teachers will be allowed to read a children's book featuring a gay couple to the class. ...

Same-sex couples have nothing whatsoever to do with sexual orientation per se. Heterosexual folks can certainly form strong affiliative bonds with friends/associates of the same sex, that are functionally identical to so-called "gay or lesbian couples", though in fact the traditional term is something like "blood brotherhood".

Sexual orientation matters only inasmuch as it describes why some of these pairs might engage in sexual contact (hopefully of the consensual sort) whereas most do not.

Teach kids about blood brotherhood and similar traditional bonds between people of the same sex, and they will be very well equipped (in fact, more so than most!) to understand "gay marriage" later on, when they are able to relate to what is meant by sexual orientation. Traditional culture has the language to talk about all of this stuff, in a way that's appealing and not offputting to conservative concerns, or for that matter "progressive" ones.

> Eternal life doesn’t appeal to me much. Imagine living a quadrillion years. Even as a god, that would be miserable.

That isn't necessarily what eternal life would be. Indeed, eternity is not temporal at all.

For example, in the Catholic understanding of heaven, those in heaven exist in aeveternity or aevum[0], a state in between the temporal and the eternal. Eternity[1] is proper only to God and is by definition timeless, with no beginning or end, so it would not make sense to speak of quadrillions of years. Where God is concerned, there is, loosely, only a now with no beginning, no end, no past, and no future, only the present, to use temporal language analogically.

Furthermore, heaven is in part characterized by the beatific vision[2] which is an immediate, direct, and inexhaustible knowing of God (Being Himself) which is Man's ultimate and supreme happiness. In this life, knowledge of God is generally mediate like much of human knowledge.

In other words, thus understood, the best of this life is but a faint shadow of a shadow in comparison to the ultimate fulfillment of heaven which is Man's proper end.

Right, but filling that slack fill would consume the same amount of volume, and more mass. So filling in the slack fill is strictly worse for transportation emissions. And crucially, the manufacturer would have to produce more of the actual product which in turn means more emissions from raw materials and refining those materials into goods.

I think, in a way, that subreddit really reinforces what the parent comment is saying: people don't like it when their consumption decreases. When we see this [1] our thought isn't "how great it is that the company didn't spend emissions on building a full set of crayons", it's "this sucks, I didn't get a full set of crayons".

Don't Android and iOS apps use a persistent database to store much of their data? So in that case the recovery procedure is to do something like "Clear storage"/"Clear cache".

And most of your work laptops probably have a network-mounted user home directory. Swap a laptop and you still get your home dir. You can always selectively purge part or all of your home dir.

Persistence doesn't make these issues unrecoverable, it just makes the process for recovery different. Although admittedly it's less simple than it was in previous generations.

Good question.

There was a spectacular long-form article, I'm sure I read via HN, about 7 years ago, that included a delightfully lurid dive into the chemical and biological effects of caffeine, on humans, over a period of a few weeks, and that fond but slightly hazy memory is where I'm getting that figure from.

Regrettably I've not been able to find that particular article again.

I did find this, however:

https://betterhumans.pub/how-to-quit-caffeine-in-one-week-e0...

.. and in the Addictive Potential section they cite this:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27762662/

.. which, if I'm reading that precis right, blows it out to 4 weeks (but it sounds like they were testing the presence of the dependency / tolerance / baseline effect, not trying to determine minimum timeframe to achieve).

The list of Similar Articles at the bottom of that second link suggests there's some body of research out there to back these styles of claims up. The considered wisdom, as far as I can intuit, is to use caffeine strategically rather than frequently, if you want to enjoy the advertised 'energy' and 'focus' benefits. Of course, if you just like the flavour or the ceremony, knock yourself out.

I agree that "predictions" is not the right word. It's easy to explain the problem looking at the Figure 7 of the preprint.

The fist graph shows how many times an experiment produced a pair of photons. The x axis is the energy of the photons, and the y axis is the number of events (I'm not sure about the scale here).

The dashed line is the theoretical result without the second boson IIUC. The green zone is the range of a difference of ±σ. The yellow zone is the range of a difference of ±2σ.

The continuous line is the experimental data. As expected, the experimental data is close to the theoretical result, but it is not exactly equal. It moves most of the time in the green zone of ±σ. Sometimes it moves in the yellow zone of green zone is the range of a difference of ±2σ. The interesting part is that in some parts it goes outside the yellow some. For those energies the theoretical model is too different of the experimental data.

Back to your objection, the idea in the paper is to make a model with a few parameters, and then optimize the parameters until the curve of the new model fits the experimental data as much as possible.

It's not enough to say 95GeV, the model has more parameters and also they must verify that the new model modifies the range of energies where the difference is big, but does not modify too much the other ranges.
> Women have the power to choose abortion but men don't.

Not exactly. Abortion is criminalized in multiple states now. In other states, the father needs to be identified and consent to the abortion. It's also stigmatized and many women don't have a free choice in the matter -- in some religious communities, a woman who seeks an abortion does so at the risk of excommunication, disowning or even beatings/murder.

As I mentioned elsewhere, it’s debatable whether or not the other tech giants are really going to bother creating another app store, and then force users to migrate there.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30280457

Such a move is basically mutually assured destruction- they would be taking their critical app off the official Apple App Store, and in doing so inviting huge customer backlash. Besides the negative press, at least a fraction of users will not migrate over- both HN power users technical and ideological enough to reject entering a user data harvesting shady app store, and the less technically adept users who can’t figure out how to enable such a store. Not to mention, everyone who is sick and tired of having to manage yet another user account forced upon them by a tech giant. It’s guaranteed that not 100% of existing users would transition, and even if it’s not a huge amount, it would be upsetting the apple cart and damaging the brand.

There’s more considerations beyond that I mentioned previously- the difficulties of these companies now having to create their own parallel iOS app ecosystems- again, ask Facebook how their own platform’s app community is faring these days, let alone every smartphone app market that isn’t iOS or Android.

And it’s debatable that these tech giants can even successfully create a sufficiently compelling alternate app market from a product or business perspective. It feels like all of the giants are at a point where they’re engaged in side projects- cloud gaming, Clubhouse clones, Snapchat stories clones, Libra- that don’t really have staying power, as far as new products go. Creating a parasitic clone iOS App Store would yet be another boondoggle, and committing to it, as I mention, is MAD- Apple loses their apps, and these companies are forever tied to having to maintain and work on their 3rd party app stores. In fact, one can easily imagine a Meta pulling back and resubmitting Facebook, Instagram, etc. back to the official App Store after initially removing them. And it’s incredibly easy to imagine Google resigning an iOS Play Store to the Google Graveyard before you can say Stadia.

Smartphone software has been around a decade now. I don’t think it’s so easy to woo users over with your own carbon copy that offers nothing. Not to mention, perhaps these companies might invite regulator antitrust attention as well if they keep truly “critical apps” away from the official App Store. There’s a lot of possible implications.

I think the prospect of tech giant data-harvesting third party iOS app stores is a fascinating prospect that hasn’t been examined in detail. Too often it’s used as a bogeyman, “Facebook will take away their app and track you!” against sideloading. The reality is probably more complex that that, and I would argue that opening iOS to alternate app marketplaces and sideloading might actually increase business opportunities and vectors of positive innovation for Apple. But that’s the subject of another comment.
