I'm not a vegan and I'm not lactose intolerant, but I'm 100% convinced that oat milk in coffee tastes much better than other options. It smoothes out the acidity and adds a mild nutty aroma. Almond milk and soy milk are good too, but oat is the best.
For me it's mostly been good. The exception is scams about renewing my Norton subscription. It's odd that with 20+ signals of this exact type of message being spam / phishing they keep getting through.
> There is limited OH in the atmosphere. As a result, more methane “uses up” the OH.

> So, why not produce a bunch of OH? Because OH has a half life of less than a second. Hmm.

These two statements seem to contradict? If the chemokinetics of OH generation is less than a second, then how can it be used up in the atmosphere?

Assuming the <1 second kinetic is correct, there must be a dynamic equilibrium producing it in the atmosphere to begin with. In such a case OH is not truly being used up in any real sense. It's whatever that generates OH is being used up, and that can be artificially boosted.
Yes. Seems like people remember when he's right because he's like their prophet or something.
Having consumed some of the grain-based alternatives, that's a "nope" from me.
Interesting perspective. I have been to the Alps several times, and do realize how limiting it can be. That's the reason the CBT and Gotthard base Tunnel is so important and plays such a central role. The problems start there, upgrading these two massive pieces of infrastructure to support these new types of trains (also note the vendor lock in through novel systems) would be costly and probably not possible without delays for current freight.
I've created this list a while ago https://github.com/redpanda-data/awesome-distributed-transac.... Maybe it's time to update it.

Usually I start with a couple of seed papers then follow the references, look at the other papers the authors wrote. When a phd student explores an area they write several paper on the topic so there is a lot material to read. But the real gem is the thesis, it has depth, context and a lot of links to other work in the area.
From my experiences trying to tell non-native or highly accented English speakers gibberish URLs or filenames, that would probably be an exercise in misery.

"Three. Like one-two-three." -> they hear "tree" or "123"

"'D'. Like Able Baker Charlie Delta." -> they hear anything ending in "ee", or "abelbakercharlydelta"

And so on, ad nauseum.
How is it anticompetitive? None of those public services have real competition to begin with. Whether you agree with Disney being allowed to run their own utilities, roads, EMS, etc. there would not be any competition with or without Reedy Creek.

I actually find it ironic that Republicans are supporting this. It is an example where by and large a private company has done a better job providing various public services than the government would. Revoking Reedy Creek will put a greater tax burden on the relevant counties. It seems like a lose/lose to me, and also an example of stupid "culture wars" taking precedence over the politics of the real issue at hand.
Take a positive integer.
If it's odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1.
If it's even, divide it by 2.

Example:

7-22-11-34-17-52-26-13-40-20-10-5-16-8-4-2-1-4-2-1-4-2-1...

Any positive integer you take, you end up in a 1-4-2-1 loop.

It's not proved yet but there's no number found yet that satisfies otherwise. That's the Collatz Conjecture or the 3n+1 problem.

Probably the easiest conjecture to explain to someone.

Good day/night!
Your observations about minimum wage work and globalized JIT supply chains are, I think, pretty valid.

> <50% believe in God/higher being, down from 80%+ in early 00s.

Source? The only recent poll I could find on this was a 2020 poll from Pew, and in that poll the number is still over 80% [1]: "more than eight-in-ten American adolescents say they believe in God or a universal spirit."

> most people can’t grow a potato for themselves.

Not new, especially if meant literally, but also even as an abstraction. Non-farm employment has been WAY below 50 percent for most of our country's history. The inflection point was in the mid 1800s.

Incidentally, I know how to grow potatoes thanks to rocky west virginia soil.

I'm not sure why I would, though. Spending a lots of time and an acre of land on a personal vegetable/fruit/spice garden makes tons of sense in terms of quality and price. Growing your own potatoes is just silly in every way unless you either LOVE potatoes or have land that's not productive for anything else. But even then there are probably better options.

> Youth participation in sports, especially full contact sports, had been going down since before covid which just accelerated it

This reeks of "Bowling Alone".

Contact sports are in decline because we learned a lot about concussions. Just like bowling leagues died because we learned a lot about smoking and drinking in a previous generation. People aren't "bowling alone"; they stopped bowling because they stopped drinking and smoking, and for most people bowling was a thing to do while drinking/smoking during the winter months. People didn't stop socializing, they just stopped spending their free time in the town's primary smoke+alcohol+child friendly indoor space. Lanes were replaced with places like coffee shops and gyms.

> leading to forecasts of a major contraction in commercial sports.

Maybe. But there's also way more televised skiing/climbing/dirt biking/etc. than there was in the 90s. The MBA/NFL/NBA cartels aren't owed an audience, and shifting attention to other sports doesn't necessarily portend a decrease in interest in commercial sports.

Interesting. I wonder why James didn't attempt to sell it at the very least?

36K ARR means you could have rather quickly found a buyer for 60k+ and gotten rid of the thing for a small but not in-significant payday. Also i wonder if the users are truly happy with being told they have to migrate to their own server as i'd assume they're the type who'd rather pay $4 a month instead of having to deal with the hassle.

In any case, it's quite a courageous move and seems very well-intentioned.
> In roulette they post the last 20 or so results, the reason they do it is because the marble is not self aware of previous results, each marble roll is an independent event.

The reason they do this is the above, but actually because people are dumb and think they can see patterns that dont exist ("look the same number came up twice in a row! i better place a bet")
I can't say ive seen any of what you’re describing despite using slack since the early days across several organizations. I know that my experience is just that, but you might want to do a little introspection. this sounds very pessimistic and a bit paranoid.

If true, this is a massively good thing.
Cultures change constantly. They’re never in a sort of stasis. Culture is just the expressions of a group of humans, how they think, and how they interact.

One could argue that rolling back abortion access (which has existed for decades and is part of US culture) is conservatives in America explicitly changing US culture. Same with bills like the one in Florida that disallow teachers from discussing human gender or human romantic relationships.

Everyone is generally trying to affect the direction of the culture of the US at the political level at all times. It’s not a right va left thing it’s a humans exist thing.
Can you explain your thinking?

Truckers are largely using diesel, which has a different excise tax (currently at $0.389/gallon)[1].

Maintaining a higher rate of speed burns fuel faster. According to a random site I found[2] (sorry, I'm not a trucker), an operator self-reported that efficiency goes down by about 1mpg when speed is increased from 55mph to 65mph.

The average price of on-highway diesel in California is currently $6.277/gallon[3]. Taking a hypothetical load from Long Beach to Sacramento (~400 miles) at 55mph will take 7.27 hrs and burn 57 gallons. Doing the same at 65mph will take 6.15 hrs and 66 gallons. In this hypothetical situation, the driver saves about an hour, and spends an additional $56 on fuel.

If the driver is paid hourly (unlikely) and paid more than $56/hr (unlikely), then the faster driving could be potentially worth the increased fuel cost. This is generally not true though, and driving faster does not reduce the cost of transport.

Even if the diesel excise tax goes up $0.02/gal (my brief searching didn't find out how much it will go up), in our hypothetical scenario this only adds $1.14 to the slower haul -- which is not a meaningful amount.

Exactly. A forest is always growing and dying simultaneously. On average a healthy forest will grow more than die or be in equilibrium. A forest in decline will die more than it grows. There is also the cleansing effect of fire from time to time. It's a good analogy
A same sex teacher having a wedding ring on or mentioning their spouse during math class would be teaching the kids about same sex relationships. It it was interfering with classes they would be showing examples of it but, to my knowledge and research, they haven't shown this.
Well, it's the type of business. Personal finance is super-hard to break into. It requires trust and budget. Trust requires users and word of mouth so its chicken and egg. you're not going to compete as a one man show with intuit on budgets or trust.

i get the vision - build something so good and usable, and they will come. The good thing about Quickbooks though is that it's trustworthy in the social proof sense. That trumps a lot of ease of use (though it is also easy to use)

It’s interesting, even if you don’t believe in a higher power, people that believe in God have far lower rates of depression and suicide, so if you try to optimize your life for happiness and mental robustness, it’s then logical to believe in a higher power.

Go reread the thread. OP said:

> "Strong men" make fascism, not good times.

They’re not even referring to any person or distinct group of people. The statement is so overly broad that it could cover BILLIONS of people.

You’re making a mockery of the atrocities committed by actual nazis and fascists. You know what those guys did right?

You would never tell an Auschwitz survivor:

“yeah, the strong males are just like the nazis!”

Imagine how fucked up that would feel from their side.
It's true that punishment as in: "I am going to do unpleasant things to you because you misbehaved" isn't very effective.
What works is enforcing consequences of actions: "the rules of this trip are such, it's ok if you ignore them but then you will not be part of it anymore" or "playing time comes after cleaning up after dinner, if you choose not to clean up no one is going to play with you". As long as the rules are clear, make sense and others follow them they work.

Another thing that works is making the child aware that their behaviour hurts you. "What you do makes me sad/tired/feel/makes my work harder". You are not angry, just making them aware how their actions affect others.

Needless to say you should never ever give in to a tantrum. Giving in to tantrums is not part of the structure everyone abides by.

Source: my gf works with children, often with disabilities and is a psychologist interested in behavioral science. Children actually like you more if you're someone enforcing the rules and structure than a pushover who will do as they please if the tantrum is long and loud enough.
I do not fundamentally understand this. They seem to just jump straight to the outcome: "Everyone get's a dollar a day" without worry about the details.

It seems like the plan of this coin is to print 8 billion a day indefinitely. What's the incentive for anybody to hold it or for vendors to accept it given that it's stated goal is to print itself into oblivion?

Maybe this is like Sam Altman's thing where the real game is to create some kind of global surveilance database for every human buy handing them a dollar? Is this actually that same project?

It's going to be revolutionary when we can sell targeted ads to some tribal person in Kenya or Laos to convince them to spend the $ someone just handed them on some online casino mobile game.
Cows emit a lot of methane, and are in fact the single largest source of agricultural GHG emissions globally. As I understand it, there's a fair bit of research going into how to reduce emissions from cows, but it would also be good to reduce the number of cows if possible.
> Obviously, laws differ in different countries, but in the US, making a backup copy for personal use is considered fair use, and is legal.

Title 17 certainly does not say that. The closest it comes to talking about the subject is by saying that copies are only allowed if consented to by the copyright owner. Space shifting and other forms of personal copies are at best a gray area with little case law to work off of.
Has anyone checked the cave-paintings for aurochs farts?
I think there’s an easier solution: allow the loans to be broken in bankruptcy.

If you can default on a loan, you force loan writers to only provide payable loans. $200k loan for an English major? Low chance for a good enough job to pay it back. Comp Sci major at state school who had a 2.0 in high school? High chance of drop out, low chance of payback.

We should just give loan companies the kick they need to stop writing bad loans just because it’s protected. Let the free market do it’s thing.

I think the same argument applies to cigarettes. Require those companies to underwrite medical care for cigarette related illness, but let people make any decisions they want. Build the externalities into the product price. Doing this would raise cost of cigarettes since you’d essentially have to self-insure with every pack.
How typography shapes our perception of truth
Even that part is kind of misleading. Making the software open source doesn't mean that the subscription service has to shut down; those are two different decisions.

But maybe we don't have to be too critical. I tend to read "[project you've never heard of] is going open-source" as "here's a new project you might want to check out", but even if they really mean that the project is mostly shutting down, open sourcing it is a good thing to do.
Same... literally. About 1200 CDs in 2000, I ripped them at some point and sold them when I became a digital nomad. I have no idea where those rips are; I think I may have just liked them all on Spotify and kept a folder of obscure albums I wasn't likely to find online. But I'm not sure where that folder is.

I bounce between Spotify and Youtube Music and Apple Music. I recently got into Apple Music library curation but then I got a Tesla which supports Spotify (and Tidal, but...). So I'm back on Spotify. But Apple Music has one really nifty thing -- highlighting major tracks on albums so that album exploration can be enhanced a bit.

But honestly, my appetite for keeping up with and curating albums is waning. I wish there was a nice "cd changer" like interface to one of these services -- load up 6 albums and randomize. Queueing isn't the same.

(I'll repeat a desire I've had a long time -- playlists of albums, not tracks, with album-shuffle. So simple, yet nobody supports it).

I have a few online streaming radio stations I love -- Radio Paradise in particular. Someday I can see chucking all the "streaming service album" management and just going other-peoples-radio.

Slacker (in the Tesla) is also good enough.
Barely scratched the surface on the first two tbh, but it makes complete sense to do this.
The markup makes sense for lattes -- 12 ounces of whole milk may be $.36 at retail milk prices, but 12oz of oat milk is closer to $1.50 (see my other comment for the price comparison).
It’s not just about land use for cows directly, but also for their feed. Industrial dairy farms have way more cows than just the land can support.

The sustainable level of consumption is dependent on population.
There is nothing particularly "magical" about EMPs. Any competent electrical engineer or physicist can build one given the right budget and resources. Shielding against such attacks is also well understood. Ultimately it is down to culture. Your average user on HN understands that it is a bad idea to hook up critical physical infrastructure to the internet, especially post-Stuxnet. But that doesn't mean the infrastructure providers would implement such best practices as they have a very real financial cost. Same thing for shielding against EMPs and solar flares.
I think your analysis is fairly accurate. There are plenty of sites that are mostly static with some dynamic functionality injected in. JAMStack is great for those use cases.

For fully dynamic applications, JAMStack may not be the optimal approach but it does work. I don't use SSR for my dynamic applications and it's not bad. The user downloads a static React app, the app pings Auth0 to see if they're logged in, and then the app fetches data from my server. That takes 100-200ms but that's totally acceptable for my use case.

One downside to SSR is that you do need the server capabilities to handle whatever load gets thrown at your site.
It is definitely both functional and imperative depending on author :)
Your use of “dissent” is an interesting way to frame a major corporation trying to exert pressure to oppose a Florida bill the majority of people in Florida support.

Not if this is related, but WaPo published a big story on how American beef consumption is destroying the Amazon today:

Is there anything that can be done the next time the old 2020 post goes FP, to direct people to consider the 2022 followup as well? Or is that burden of “seriously, stop rehashing 2020 content instead of keeping up with the discussion” exclusively the author’s to bear?

Given the options I know of today for authors, if they’re still reading comments here, I’d recommend they replace the 2020 post with a redirect to the 2022 post, and include the 2020 post at the end of it fully intact. At least that would ensure the flamewars cycle on the complete conversation and not just half of it.
