There is a correlation between economic development and meat consumption.

Meat consumption increased in the West along with economic development and the same is happening worldwide.

The US was developed in the 70s. You would need to look at trends from poor and undeveloped to developed. In the US you would need to rewind to early 20th or 19th century to post-WWII golden age to see the increase.

Haven't been using social media for more than five years and it doesn't feel like I'm halfway there.

Now I am using my smartphone pretty much in the same way I was using my PC when smartphones didn't exist (e.g. 20 years ago): quite a bit of browsing and few comments here and there.

It's not that I can't do without smartphone: on holidays I can totally avoid using it for browsing. But that inevitably comes back to "normal".

And I'm pretty sure I was distracting myself with literature in a similar way when I was even younger (e.g. 25 yrs ago). I read very fast and hardly retain anything:) Is it in any way healthier? Not so sure, it feels like binge reading is as addictive and unsatisfying -- I do that nowadays (rarely) too.
There is no token/currency associated to it, and it's made for a single specific purpose only, compared to most blockchains which try to run programs, manage wallets, etc. It also doesn't have a decentralized consensus algorithm, nor is there a gossip network to inform about new transactions that are to be added to the log. It's centralized per design.

Which of these differences you see as important to the blockchain / non-blockchain distinction, depends on the precise definition for blockchain that you want to use.

That being said, even the CT website uses the term "ledger" to explain what the logs are: https://certificate.transparency.dev/howctworks/

The trouble with noweb on emacs is that it's not possible to have LSP work properly with it (or at least, I never managed, could not find articles on it and the emacs subreddit had no answers). I do not see this fundamental issue addressed here, which I would expect to be a flagship feature if it was. As such, the reader must assume it does not work. In that case, why not just use noweb? It already exists, it has mature tooling around it and it is part of an ecosystem that will still exist in 20 years. Those are all desirable things, to my mind.
They seem similar. With Servant you start with a type definition describing your API (using type-level functions), from their docs:

type UserAPI1 = "users" :> Get '[JSON] [User]

In tRPC based on the example it looks like you start by defining and instance then grab the type and export it.
Any sufficiently good idea is really hard to communicate but really easy to demonstrate. That means you get a head start, but the next person gets it for free. That head start is your time to build a business with a moat. If you haven't done it by then, the next person will.
That's great and all, probably true for a ton of developers. Certainly is and has been for me. Now show us how that's actually useful, the majority of jobs aren't building useful important things. It's building some dumbass startup idea that is very likely to fail or writing insurance backend code or some generic web form that NO ONE gives two shits about. I'm not angry at you, don't want this to come off that way. This industry is fantastic in many ways, great salary, skill based, no hard labor, etc..... But just like most jobs it's a very lucky few that get to work on something they think is important.

Maybe 20+ years have beaten me down but it's so rare that a job that matters is out there and available. It's so depressing how many web apps for really bad ideas are considered "engineering" careers. Maybe that's what I should build a way to find engineering jobs for causes/things that matter to people. I know I'd love to have a job board/DB to search for Climate Change based positions.

> India, Singapore and Hong Kong where UK has deep ties.

Deep ties is a warm fuzzy term to describe ex-colonies. Nearly up there with “commonwealth”.

I think your characterisation of the EU is extremely poor, no political union as massive as the EU gets away without issue, you can argue that there are too many to even bear, but it’s absurd to think the British can make a better economic Union, we have 500 years of history to look back on and it proves that we do not know what we’re doing and we do not learn from our mistakes.

This is one of the very interesting things everybody (no matter their political affiliation) can learn from Marx and the whole group around Adorno and Horkheimer, but you will find this echoed by more conservative sociologists and historians, too.
Zizek also frames this quite nicely in The Perverts Guide to Cinema, where he explains, that ideology is never a pair of glasses [EDIT]you wear[/EDIT] but the very eyes through which you see.
Right now I sadly cannot look through my books to find you less leftist references for the topic.
If you are interested I can link to some less controversial works of sociology once I have access to them again.

I understand your point. However, anything else might require time to maintain it (a script, a container, a VM, whatever you want: people will expect it to work obviously, so this needs time/effort to test it, unlike a simple documentation). Do we want to maintain that? I'm not sure due to the huge backlog and higher priorities.

But I'm eager to have more resources to change that in the future :) (all things considered, an official "community" container might be the easiest path, but we'd like to have maintainers outside Vates)
Sure, banks are also to blame for it. But I also don't think that excuses Plaid at all.

Norway is in the European Economic Area, closely tied to the EU. Switzerland isn't an EU member but is in the single market. That means both Norway and Switzerland are loosely attached to the EU bloc and play by most of the EU rules. They aren't interested in tearing up those relations to make a separate deal with Brexiters.
It is all just garbage collection.
For those who didn't get the memo:

Be warned, folks! Depression is not about sadness, but about not being able to do things.

If you are feeling incapable of doing things, like physically siting in front of the computer and not being able to do any work, you are probably depressed.

Sometimes you'll sit in front of the computer, try to start some task but somehow end opening hackeer news, digg, youtube.

What I've done and has worked for me:

1. Take the book, leave the phone and laptop at home. Go to a coffee shop, park, bar (a chill kind of bar, not a sports bar or a dive bar) and read. <-- no longer works well for me, I don't live in a downtown so it's not as convenient.

2. Declare a space in the home to be tech-free. <-- Works ok for me in the winter time here when I can't go outside

3. Read after doing some other activity and make that the habit. After I go for runs or mow the lawn, I sit on the back deck and read. <-- this one seems to be the most consistent, but is a spring/summer/early fall thing here, not a year-round approach. In more temperate climates you could do this year round.
I’m just going to talk about fixed-rate US agencies. Treasuries are option-free, while fixed rate mortgages include a prepayment option. Also, these mortgages have a strong implicit backing of the US Government, so there is no default risk.

The article is about a spread, so the risk-free and interest-rate-volatility terms will be shared with a treasury.

The dynamics of that prepayment risk are complex, and there is a vast literature on the subject. This article simplifies it enormously, based on my experience in this field.
> What’s worse than having an addiction then having someone else control your addiction?

That's actually a great way to summarize my views on social media/news. It's letting yourself have an addiction, which only corporation XYZ can satisfy at the cost of at least your time, but often even money, energy, or well-being as well.

Here's one more tip from my experience: if you think you need to know something, go out and do your own research based on action. Don't just watch Yahoo Finance videos every day. Question your lifestyle, and if you're not sure of your financial habits, do some research. Maybe learn how to invest for retirement, or check in on how your investments are doing if you've already started. If you hear bad things about the economy, what change is that going to make on your life? Are you concerned that you're spending too much? If so, then take a look at your budget, do some research on the current state of the economy, and then assess what your budget should be starting tomorrow. Don't just passively sit there endlessly consuming news. Leave it alone, and just come back to it if you have a specific use case that it serves.
Per U.S. Census data, relatively few people have a commute in the 5 minute block from 25 to 30 minutes. Only 20-25, and 30-35. The data shows a very clear valley in the 25-30 block.

Suggests people think of their commute as 20 plus a few minutes but rounding down optimistically, or think of it as almost 30 minutes rounding up angrily, never think of it as 27 minutes.

No writeup of the commute data has mentioned this phenomenon, which I suspect was exactly the same thinking you describe.

Alternatively, parts of the UK could break off and rejoin the EU (e.g. Scotland). I can't predict whether this will happen or not.
I am personally fond of:

1. query builder APIs, which can only generate valid queries, but you can control exactly what that query will be,
2. APIs that return basic data structures from the database, like maps or tuples.

Query languages like SQL are very powerful and easy to learn. And in my opinion, preferable to ORM approach of "what method calls do I need to make to trick the engine into executing the SQL I know would make this work?" ORMs add complexity and limitations that, in my opinion, are not worth the benefits.
I disagree that this scenario is far-fetched:

I found that this process is a lot faster than creating sequences in sequence generator pro or sharpcap, though it does leave in visible sensor noise that would otherwise be removed by the stacking process.

The author has now written literally thousands of words that boil down to “I think the cops should be able to put those 28 people in jail even if the DA disagrees.”

What he hasn’t addressed (I think, I haven’t read every tome he’s posted) is that this DA is who the people of SF voted for.

When people complain about “prosecutorial discretion” without talking about campaigning and voting for another DA, it’s common to hear loads of drivel that boils down to “I know the people of this city want these prosecution policies, but I disagree with them. Rather than try to change minds, I support a unilateral transfer of power to a group that says they have my approved ideology.”

The problem with that line of thinking is that it puts the cops above the electorate in terms of influence. It’s a terribly slippery slope, but it’s very common in America.

“Freedom and liberty means that the police arrest people that I don’t like! Even if society in general doesn’t want the police to have that much power, who cares? I, Supreme Understander, am more worthy and human than them!”

Edit: Oh wait the author did respond to another poster that brought up replacing the DA or seeking a remedy from the state. Sounds like they would like that, but for whatever 700-word reason it’s important to shift unilateral power to the police either way. Just in case.
>According to Galor, diversity can inhibit economic growth by decreasing social cohesion

Surprised to see this acknowledged on Washington Post.

>migration distance, geography, disease, culture and political institutions.

It's a shame that modern anthropology is dead set on downplaying the influence of culture and politics on national success. I think part of the push back against the horrors of WWII has manifested as an overly anti-nationalistic slant among our institutions, at the cost of objectivity in social sciences, among other casualties.
I know next to nothing about crossfit and it definitely looks like religion to me. I'm not even sure where this impression comes from but it's probably first or second thing that comes into my mind when I hear "crossfit" (the other thing is that someone I vaguely know does it to keep in shape -- but we never discussed it in any detail).
Hi Wowfunhappy, you got me thinking. Like ... really thinking. So, to cut long story short, I've installed Maverics in a VM to do a short & free PoC, how much would I like this "retro" experience with iWork, iLife and friends.

Many of the successful nudges are things that people don't _want_ to resist, it's just taking frictions away, e.g., organ donation, saving in your 401k, registering to vote, not eating garbage, etc. Stuff people would generally express interest in doing.
Yes, I saw the smaller pricing, the problem is that businesses often prefer a metered approach, but I also understand that subscription support makes it easier to afford having support personel on a salary, which is much harder when it's on-demand tickets.

I think many don't subscribe at all, or subscribe when they actually need the tickets. If they could pre-purchase a set of tickets for say, 200€-400€ per ticket (2x-4x the lowest subscription), I think it would be a hit, even if they never use those tickets, they could buy them when they can afford to buy them and keep them as a sort of assurance for future incidents.

That sort of model has worked extremely well in the SaaS startup world, with so called "lifetime deals". You buy a set of resources that don't expire and can consume them over a lifetime (of the company or product).
Switzerland and Norway are not much closer to or farther from the EU than the UK. What works for them can also work for the UK. The UK also plays by most of the EU rules (more than actual members such as Poland or Hungary if you ask me).

Switzerland is very interested in keeping relations with the UK at a high level and is actively negotiating since Brexit.

The EU is not Europe and is definitely lacking in some aspects that might countries want to reconsider a membership.

Like many things, it might be simple and intuitive _once you already know how it works_. Looking at it for the first time, my reaction was similar that of the GP. My $0.02: if the question is "using meta storage, does user marcus sponsor user marc?" I would propose a url like meta/users/{username}/sponsors/{username}, or meta/users/marc/sponsors/marcus. To me, at least, that url states a few things:

* meta/users/marc <- the user we're querying, and where we can get his info

* meta/users/marc/sponsors <- every user who is a sponsor of marc

* meta/users/marc/sponsors/marcus <- is marcus one of marc's sponsors?

Of course it wouldn't be a forum oriented towards developers if 10 users didn't hold a dozen conflicting opinions.
Sure, why not - as long as they do not ask for special treatment?

Everything on the internet is made to be as addictable as possible.

I use social media in between my daily life as a guilty pleasure to feel free to waste some time in some mindless shit without having to plan anything.

I think a real issue is the cost of infrastructure and network effects.

Essentially, a big corporation could buy cheap rural land close to a big city, develop a small city there and reap the "overpricing" benefits.

But it's very expensive to build the basic infra. And even more expensive to convince enough people to move there and create minimum network effects for it to become a "real" community and livable space.

The 35-75k deaths/year isn't just influenzas.

Do you really want to argue that the public health community was saying "hey, we're only interested in influenza" when they used various pandemics to argue for funding for the last 80+ years? (Influenza wasn't even distinguished until the mid 30s.)

Yes, Covid-19 is SARS2. My point is that SARS1 was 10 years ago, which is plenty of time for the public health community to do relevant research and yet ....

Do you want to bet that they didn't fundraise off of SARS1 specifically? And yet...
Yes, mostly. They aren't going to tear up their relations with the EU to go with the UK.
