If bosses could have slaves working for them, a vast majority of them would use slaves in an instant, without thinking about it. At best, they'd use a contractor or two removed from them, to mitigate the ethical accusations (same way they justify the use of sweatshops, child labor in mines, violently threatening and beating or even murdering workers when they stand up, and so on, in the production/supply chains the most seemingly "progressive" companies).

The only reason they don't have everything they want atm, and societies got things like paid leave, the 5-day 8-hour workweek and such, has been pushback (which was reristed fiercely, with many dead in the process). Pushback, plus, when the global communist movement was still a thing, and still shiny to many, the danger of working classes falling for socialism as an alternative to capitalism, which between the 30s and 70s did wonders in securing concessions from capitalist governments.

Since pushback has stopped, and the alternative system of production is dead and/or discretided, in any job market that they have the upper hand, they'll reinforce any 19-th century norm they like.
Nice man! Move on with your life ;)
No plants contain long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.

Besides flaxseeds, walnuts have also a large content of short-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Walnuts were my preferred source of omega-3 fatty acids when I was young.

The problem is that the short-chain fatty acids must be elongated in the liver to become useful.

For many people, the elongation capacity per day of the liver is not enough to provide a sufficient quantity of long-chain fatty acids.

Because the fatty-acid elongation capacity of the liver decreases with age, for older people it is much more important to eat food with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, e.g. fish oil or oily fish, than it is for young people, for whom flaxseeds or walnuts may be enough.

That is why in the parent article the conclusion was that the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid supplements have been more effective for older people.

There are unicellular micro-organisms which produce long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. They can be cultivated and the oil extracted from them is available commercially, but at prices 8 times higher than the price of fish oil (for the same quantity of DHA or EPA).

Moreover, different cultures must be used for DHA and for EPA, so for a complete supplement 2 oils would have to be mixed. Because a single producer usually has only the technology for a single type of culture, in most cases one would have to buy both a DHA oil and an EPA oil and consume both supplements.

In contrast, fish oil from oily fish has both DHA and EPA, while cod liver oil has DHA, EPA and also vitamin D.

They only drifted "leftwards" after 2008 when they started lobbying for governments to bail out banks. Once this was done, they went back to "orthodoxy".
I agree with everything you said, and so I started reading comments to judge if a video is good. But the comments are always positive, even when the video is terrible! Like, bad tutorial video, unoriginal pop science video, lame interview with a bored celebrity, the comments are still always positive. Once I saw a comment that said something like "This was a really cool video! <url dot-com>" and I realized the algorithm is suppressing negative comments and promoting positive ones based on words used.

get the extension "BlockTube" and block any channel that does this. after a while your feed will get noticably better.

People are saying not to click but IMO it doesn't work that well. I make a point of never clicking on any video title like that, and still kept getting flooded

My favorite pattern is saying "THIS" and withholding what exactly the video is about - once I saw it used twice in a title and it just cracked me up. It was something like "Do THIS instead of THIS". I wish anyone a couple years from now trying to find a video made in the current times good luck.
Maximum tractor-trailer weight in the US is 80,000 lb, with typical weight closer to 44,000 lb. Dry weight is about 32,000 lb, for a maximum payload of 48,000 lb.

An articulated bus has a curb weight of about 35,000 lb and a capacity of up to 92 passengers. At 177 lb each, that's a gross weight of 51,284 lb. (net: 16,284 lb of passengers).

I'd presume a potato's density is close to that of water. As such, capacity is actually mass rather than volume-constrained --- you'd be unable to fill a truck to its volumetric carrying capacity before exceeding gross vehicle weight limits.

Many grocery products have much lower density: chips, bread, paper products, etc.

I still tend to agree it makes more sense to move goods than people, but the differential may not be quite as great as you might think.
I can't say I've noticed a difference. That being said 80+% of videos I watch are either from channels I subscribe to or something I've searched for. Also after I started getting more aggressive with using the Not Interested and Don't Recommend Channel buttons to flag videos on my recommendation page I feel it's actually gotten quite a bit better.
It is arbitrary. Probably created by special interest groups and the politicians that cater to them. As if taxes were good in some geographic areas but not in others.

> Uhm... experience from a large project that used SQLite was that we where hit with SQLite only allowing one write transaction at a time. That is madness for any web app really.

"Lots of readers few writers" is an extremely common application property tho. Your average HN has significantly more reads than it has writes, especially if you bump the "worthless" writes (e.g. vote counts) out of using the DB and only flush them to the durable DB one in a while, for instance.

And with SQLite's WAL support it's supported even better: while it still has a singular writer, the writer doesn't block the readers anymore, which is a workload issue in the exclusive case (as the single writer would bring read concurrency down to 0).
> You work at a company that uses it badly [...] Learn to separate and focus on things better.

Maybe, but it's not within my power to change the behaviour of dozens or hundreds of other people, none of whom report to me.

So if I join a company where Slack is a shitty experience, I'm going to have a shitty experience with it - even if the company is "holding it wrong"
If we keep putting special-interest clauses in our tax codes like these 'business opportunity zones' without expecting everyone who is capable to come in and exploit them to the maximum extent possible, that is really on us.
I am 50 and have two teenagers at home.

I do not listen to a lot of music but it is usually up to 10-15 years old. I do not listen to the 80's crying over a lost youth.

The music they listen to is mixed - there is a big part just fro the looks and it is unbearable. This the of music everyone forgets after 2 years.

There are styles I do not like.

And then there are great songs I discover through them by chance. Last one was K.Flay, staring with "High Enough". I was surprised to hear "Can't Sleep" in The Suicide Squad movie afterwards.
Not to get off topic but the problem I find (consistently) with online comms (i.e., email, Slack, Teams, FB Groups, LinkedIn, etc.) is subpar human to human communication skills.

Typically, adding (unnecessary) friction is: vagueness or ambiguity. We can't read each others' minds. We're not sitting in each other's seats / moments. My current context (i.e., what I'm focused on) has influence on where my thought process can go next. Dropping your without-warning thought bomb in the middle of that without a hint of context is too assuming. Assumption-based Comms creates unnecessary noise and friction.

And yes, these missteps at scale certainly don't help.
Well, as this article is about the Netherlands, you can go and have a look there, at rush hour. Say, boarding a train from Almere to Amsterdam. And the answer is: a lot..
If you could specify the intent in a way that could be adjudicated, why couldn’t you just write the law better in a different dimension? “This applies only up to $X M/yr” or whatever.

Having someone later come along and try to devine what the “true intent” was and levy punishments for behavior clearly allowed by the law but against an imputed intent sounds worse for society based on laws than the avoidance of some taxes via a poorly written law.
It's certainly the case for me that the recommendations are getting significantly worse. I've pretty much hobby trained it so I get a lot less of the quacks than most people, but I think the absence of any incentive to downvote is really messing with their system and they have shot themselves in the foot.
It is an excuse for bad management that cannot set goals and verify if they are reached or not.

To be honest you should immediately exploit that for your own career. Office surveillance exploiters wouldn't hold back as well. Tell them you want set goals and no surveillance, make your employment conditional to that. If that doesn't work go to the next higher instance. If it is only the CEO or owner and he supports it, change the company. Otherwise make an offer to replace the manager or being elevated to the same position with defined goals. Often just a little resistance is enough.
^This a thousand times over. The workers' benefits we enjoy today in Europe like 8 hour workdays, minimum 20 days vacation, paid sick leave, free healthcare, pensions, unemployment benefits, etc. were due to the communist movements sweeping Europe after WW2 which governments and industrialists fought hard to suppress so they had to give concessions to the workers in order to keep their business afloat and prevent them from rioting/striking.

But, the collective labor pushback has stopped since the great offshoring took over in the last 30 years thanks to globalization, and various labor unions lost their power as the great industrialists moved the labor intensive jobs overseas where they could easily enforce their 19-th century norms and environmentally damaging practices and make killer profits, which in term bought them more lobbying power and political influence back home to push for lax immigration and lax trade policies with oppressive regimes, to further water down local wages and working conditions to "increase economic competitiveness" with those oppressive regimes.

Now we're slowly moving back to longer working hours and worse working conditions, but not by force like in the past, but by making housing and living so insanely expensive and getting a job so competitive, that the only chance people have is to willingly sacrifice the quality of life to get a head start in the rat race over everyone else, unless they were lucky enough to inherit some generational wealth that has appreciated, like a house.

Couple this with economic policies where at every crisis or dip in the economy, the well off, asset holder and big companies get further boosted up and amass even more wealth, while the lesser well off and small business go bust and end up worse off and pushed "further back on the monopoly board".
This was how I got rid of those recommendations that OP describes, until one day around two-three months ago when YouTube decided, for some reason, to ignore those actions completely. I had probably hidden well over 5k videos and channels over the years; now they are all back. No idea why. Trying to hide a video or a channel does nothing anymore for me.
well, what's the ROI (or fiscal multiplier in econ speak) of spending 300M on housing vouchers but not building more houses?

or founding more border patrols instead of local police? or funding local police, which then spends it on legal fees to fight against releasing body cam footage?

also note, that I'm not saying the people who optimize away their taxes spend it better (yachts! country clubs in the middle of the desert!)
How often do you check the supposed "bad tutorials" to verify that this assumption is actually true?
I'm actually baffled, I did not expect that, from Suse of all German companies. And no pushback? Whatsoever? JFC

There are other reasons why having stablecoins is useful.

Regular money can’t be transferred digitally. If you want to send money to someone, both your bank and their bank need to speak the same protocol. This isn’t an issue usually but try sending a large transfer (>100k) or sending money internationally.

Stablecoins have the protocol built into it. Just by using a stablecoin, you are able to receive and send the coins digitally to anyone else who uses them.
They pretend to be brain dead, that's all. Look, we are brain dead, go topple us.

Btw. Imagine that your body turns off "feedback sensors" in your hand and you start to grab a glowing iron ingot and notice that your fingers and hand starts to turn into charcoal but you don't feel a thing. You do this repeatedly until you notice that your hand fell off and now can't lift the glass to drink water. How nice, how beautiful this don't criticise bullshit mantra is.

It adds insult to injury that a billionaire real estate mogul made EXACTLY this argument when selling his tax policy and business conduct (I’m just being a good businessman, and I’ll fix the rigged system by getting rid of loopholes!), then turned around and got rid of special deductions for normal folks and created a massive special interest handout for real estate moguls.

At which stage, people with savings withdraw funds because of the lower interest rate and the Ponzi scheme collapses.
Yeah a lot of orgs and employees are pretty toxic and Slack and teams makes it very easy to be like that. I wonder if there is a tech solution to this or if it's something that has to be handled outside of the tool.
Really, this was the last straw? Wow.
Reducing your taxable income is stealing? So if I contribute to a Roth IRA, I am stealing too?

Also, subscribe to a channel, get recommended their entire repertoire of the last decade. I have stopped subscribing, and I'm actively unsubscribing from most channels except the very small ones that post twice a year and I don't want to miss.

What the hell is wrong with modern AI-driven recommendation engines? Youtube's isn't the only one that irritates me to no end. There is no automated recommendation system that is not complete dogshit for the end user. /rant
it's true, but it's hard, you only need to click once on a clickbait video out of curiosity and you'll be flooded with garbage until you reset your whole youtube history. I switched to individious/piped and newpipe since for a more quiet youtube experience.
Show HN: We have built WASM-based JavaScript client adapter for Memgraph
Hi everyone! For our graph database, Memgraph [1], we have just built a WASM-based JavaScript client adapter called jsmgclient.

One of our engineers has described in depth the process that he has used to achieve this. [2]
If you have used WASM can you take a look at our approach and tell us what you think about our approach? Do you see any things that we should have done differently?

My understanding is that independent verification is more readily accomplished through third-party service. It's also more scalable --- ads to many sites are served through a single ad network rather than through site-by-site negotiations.

Self-hosting may lead to sites gaming impressions data. Not that that's not also a problem with third-party hosting.

The line could be intercepted, and have you get the dial tone instead of their OK. They would attack without you.
I have recently. It's OK not a brilliant game but good.

In terms of the spreadsheets in space that's only one aspect. I bought a little package for £5.99 which has skill boosts and some plex. All in all that setup my FTP character to be able to do whatever I want. So you can ignore this entirely and just play the game the way you want tbh.
I don't but I hear it's about the community and the drama that the community generates, more than it is about the game itself.
Yeah, unless you need to stay silent for detection reasons or warfare, my guess would be that in a fixed facility, it would be way cheaper and reliable to have a positive pressure or flow of air going outward. I've seen windows and buildings do this completely passive, so a modern design would only have this as an absolute emergency, as they are dangerous and doesn't solve the Co2 problem.

Don't see how this is relevant for civil use though, but hey, maybe some paranoia can sell some candles.
I take algae-derived DHA. Fatty fish get their omega-3 from algea, after all. As a benefit, the algea can be sustainably farmed in clean water, with no microplastics, heavy metals, or other contaminants. It's also not cruel! And the prices are pretty similar to fish oil!
> In the UK at least retail bank deposits are guaranteed up to £85k per account, so there's a real incentive for the banking industry to police their member as if one fails, they'll all take a hit.

As you wrote it this doesn't make a lot of sense, so I'll explain, in the process I'll actually fix some errors too.

The UK government protects up to £85k per person per banking license. So if you have £40k in accounts at each of four brand name banks but they're actually all part of one huge corporation "Big Banks Inc." with a single license then the government only protects £85k total, 'cos that's just one license.

Unlike FDIC this is not insurance, instead it's a Last Man Standing system. If some banks fail, the government re-coups its loss over time from all remaining licensed banks. So for example if Santander fails, the costs of fixing that problem land on HSBC and other enormous banks. As indicated this produces an incentive to "police" your rivals because if you allow them to go under by not warning of risky practices, you're going to eat that cost yourself.

As an individual in the UK, if the £85k isn't enough you can invest in the NS&I which is a bank owned by the government. Unlike commercial banks NS&I isn't lending your savings to some unknown (to you) borrowers instead they're effectively lending everything to the government, which would otherwise need to borrow that money commercially (ie issue bonds) so it knows what that's worth. The rates aren't great but since it's owned by the government there aren't a lot of scummy for-profit shenanigans like "introductory" rates that then zero out unless you're constantly opening new accounts and moving your money. Since NS&I is owned by the government who also print the money your savings are denominated in, it can't go bankrupt. The money could become worthless, but in that case it doesn't really matter who you banked with and the whole country is fucked anyway.
"Dark satanic mills"
Programming is often reduced to the technical part of putting down code that runs a machine. But as writing is not drawing symbols and reading is not vocal reproduction of these symbols, there is more behind programming than making a machine do what you want. Everything that is teached in school is in the end reduced to being able to solve problems.

Learn how to program is in fact learning how to formalize a large problem, think about it in a structured way, and if the problem is too large as a whole, divide it into manageable parts, that solve parts and together solve the problem as a whole. Additionally an individual that has learned how to program also learned about importance of precision of instructions.

Being able to do this, and being able to think about systems and processes in a structured way is helpful in a lot of disciplines beside tech industry.

Therefore it also doesn't matter how children or young adults learn to code, this is more a question about how to get someones motivation and focus.

And especially this is not about getting a job in tech industry. Learning this type of problem solving (which is not exclusive to programming) and thinking about systems etc. will help you with/in most of the jobs out there, e.g. kitchen chef, event/wedding planner, car mechanic, musician,... you name it - even if you don't write a line of code anymore in your life.
