I am having a hard time understanding what is "essential" about essential fatty acids. That the body does not produce EPA or DHA is necessary but not sufficient for the claim that humans need to consume n-3 PUFA. The body doesn't endogenously produce amphetamine or cayenne pepper, are those essential too?

When the human organism lacks n-3 PUFA, it generates n-9 20:3 LCPUFA (Mead) from 18:1 oleic acid (which makes up over 80% of the lipid content of olive oil). Is this Mead acid of no benefit compared to the n-3 series?

Secondly, it seems strange that supplementing n-3 PUFA is so popular, considering the brain seems to mirror overall fatty acid composition of the diet. Throwing in a little n-3 isn't going to change much when you're getting a lot of n-6 AA, and AA in the brain is linked to Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment. Therefore, outside of changing your diet entirely (or trying your best to cut out omega-6), there isn't much of a call to action from these studies.

I just started using Supabase on a small side project and am very impressed; the ease of setting up realtime was amazing. However, the dashboard is so slow. Every action that has a server request results in a spinner, even if it could be instant, like creating an empty unnamed sql query.
>Who the hell do you think you are? Some random financial crisis would throw you onto the street.

And here the true colors emerge. You pretend to care about supporting others, but you take the first opportunity to denigrate someone for your perception that they are not rich enough to weather a storm.

No one here has shit-talked you because of your finances. No one here has lambasted you because of your occupation or station in life. No one here has accused you of wanting compulsory social securities, or not wanting them, on account of your occupation or finances.

>You are some random tech guy and an aerospace company with a career which didn't even touch areas where this kind of talk would be something to come close to

And what? Does one have to have special qualifications to comment on the topic of how their own earnings are to be spent?

>You probably even vote for the red party

You go on about democratic ideals, yet you criticize someone for engaging their civil liberties to vote in that system?

Disgusting.
Sure. Used to be, that's how it was done. Some things sucked about it, others were easier. For example, not much in the way of versioning problems. On the other hand, if somebody broke the release, nobody's new feature made it live. You also had to allow for extra testing time...continuous deployment D is not a great strategy in this environment. We had a week of integration testing for release candidates, unit tests, smoke tests, data integrity tests, UI tests, performance tests, etc. We also had a QA team that signed off on releases. It was actually pretty rare that you collided with other developers because teams were focused on their own areas of the codebase.
These deals work for smaller funds with fewer staff. The current situation stems from the giant funds. Not so long ago most A rounds were a couple of million or less.

Well, to me it sounds like it was 'merely' a reference to `Carthago Delenda Est`. Given the polarized view on the subject matter, I suppose it fits.

I think there has never been good reason to believe that most proprietary tools are properly encrypted at all. The most common form of this is that while the messages may indeed be end-to-end encrypted, the keys are stored in the cloud, which allows them to be given to the authorities upon request, perhaps secretly.
As with most Gacha games, the gacha portion of that was so poorly designed for casual players that it was basically poison.

I really, really liked the gameplay and the exploration, and to a point, even the plot.

But the gacha was absolutely murder for me. I couldn't talk myself into spending a single cent on it. And I say that as someone who probably spent over $500 on a single gacha game over a couple years.

The Panopticon is a marvelous machine which, whatever use one may wish to put it to, produces homogeneous effects of power.
I think the people who support things like mandating USB-C, forcing open the App Store, and GDPR are misguided at best. These are significant transfers of power from the (mostly) organic and consensual realm of individuals and businesses to the coercive realm of state force. You can always buy an android phone (with USB-C) and use GrapheneOS, F-droid, Tutanota, Brave Search, Odysee, Mastodon, Matrix, etc. to get most of what you want without asking unaccountable bureaucracies to enforce your will on everyone else by the threat of violence.

I have a special hatred for GDPR for contributing to balkanization of the internet, and for the annoying cookie warnings that sometimes breaks sites when you disable cookies at the browser level. The only way GDPR actually improves my privacy is by forcing me to use a VPN to access some sites.
> If people are willing to purchase your NFT anyway, who cares?

Isn't that ultimately how anything works? I can print out a cheap copy of the Mona Lisa, say "I'm selling the Mona Lisa," and someone can purchase it if they choose to. Of course, I may have broken some laws in the particular government jurisdiction this transaction occurs in, like trademark, copyright, fraud, etc., but that's just as true with NFTs.

This just doesn't seem like a valid criticism of NFTs. There are plenty of valid and strong criticisms of NFTs available, so there's no need to invent invalid and weak ones!

If one can suggest such a law and perhaps even get it through, it already shows how much power one has usurped.

It is about the doing already, and less about what can be even done afterwards.
Ha! I remember that. But if you recall, the first iPad mini was 7.9” and subsequent iPads mini stayed close to the 8” watermark. A decade later my iPhone is a lot closer to 7” at 6.7”.
Nice!

Yeah I just went to read comments (of course more crazy replies) after posting in the ACLU thread.

I was shocked again at the crap people on this forum are writing in that thread too.

Maybe you're right I shouldn't be shocked anymore. I've always known, but ben lucky enough not to have to experience very much, of the hate.

But it just feels so much worse. Not just on queer ness but on anything not white-male christian.

Or at least it's more vocal. Like why do these people feel the need to write this stream of crap on hacker news....

I can't decide which or both of these:
- Emboldened by leaders & media to allow them to speak out already held beliefs (the silent majority except that's a euphemism).
- This craziness has actually shifted, been created, and or amplified. Not just on LGBTQ issues. look at the ACLU thread (re lots of white males talking about overt discrimination because of diversity inclusion training and even more crazy q stuff like fbi false flagged jan 6 wth).

I think it's both.

On this topic for instance I very much doubt people knew let alone cared about trans girls playing on their high school sports team before we made progress to the point there were out trans high school girls and then it became a political punching bag. And now as a result some states and politicians are emboldened to pass dangerous laws that will cost even more lives.
Agreed, I hate when streets on maps don't have labels. It would be so easy to do.

I would agree if there were no externalities, but those nerds are paying celebs to advertise crypto to the masses as an investment (soon Fidelity will help people put 20% of their 401k into bitcoin - seems bad) and we are adding GW to the grid y/y.
Hi. I'm queer. I can use the term however I want. It is an umbrella term of inclusion and any bias you have that it is somehow an insult is on you.
It’s completely uneffective.
I treat my main phone as a notification entrypoint; trash-notifications are turned off, of course, but every messaging, calling, email, etc app has them turned on. If I want to know if anything relevant to me has happened, I look there or keep it nearby. If I don't have a notification there, I know nothing has happened

On my iPad, even messages with friends, emails, etc are all blocked. Not even red badges on the app icons. Nothing that can possibly prompt or notify me in any way. I don't think I could get away with that on my main phone
its not about a pronoun, so looks like you're also conflating concepts

no pronouns need to be added or used to correct the malformed FOIA request

it conflates sex and gender, I said what I said, its accurate that it is doing that.

> Total number of male persons who identify as female, non-binary, or any other gender identity

The request would be "Total number of male persons that identify as women". The sex doesn't change, the gender does. The FOIA request would say invalid, or zero, and be accurate, regarding the ones identifying as "female". The "other gender identify" may cover it, but not necessarily. Males identifying as men wouldn't have been transferred. So "other than what"? "Female" is not a gender, unless we are accepting that any arbitrary identification is valid, but would that be grounds for transfer?

But yes that can just say "males transferred", because they remain male.

Its a conditional argument because legal circumstances follow conditional logic. So if it seems obtuse, oh well, thats how it works.

Of course - when everything is made into this "battle for America", everything matters, censorship becomes "justified" and the further the division grows.
I think this probably stems from not having a good understanding of the objections. The externalities involved with these "toys" are many.

It's really a shame that my options right now are either the anti-freedom "no abortions, no weed, and absolutely no criticizing us" party, or the anti-freedom "no critical thinking, no guns, and absolutely no criticising us" party. Unfortunately under first past the post tribalism is rewarded, and moving to the center only gives room for a more radical same-party challenger to appear making you both lose. In my opinion, the greatest boost to freedom in current American politics would be the introduction of a better voting system[0] to allow third parties to exist and encourage them to work together to legislate.

[0] I prefer score voting, but I'll vote for anyone who will get any alternate form of voting out there. For an easy explanation of the different voting systems, look at https://ncase.me/ballot/

That makes zero sense.

If you're posting a new NFT that just references the existing URL, you aren't copying anything.

Unfortunately I can't watch the video right now. Care to summarize the reasoning, here? Because it escapes me.
> i don't think they can have the idea themselve btw

Actually the European Commission is exactly where EU legislation comes from. It probably doesn't come from the commissioners themselves; they're mostly ex-politicians who are too unpopular and incompetent to get elected in their home countries. But those commissioners control the EU civil service; it's those bureaucrats that produce these ideas.

As you say, the ordinary procedure is that the proposal is then passed to the toothless Parliament; and I think it then goes to the Council of Ministers to be passed. The Parliament can pass it back to the Commission for reconsideration, and that can happen several times. I don't know how often that happens; I'd guess not often.

No. ACLU policy is not to support or oppose any candidate for elected or appointed office, including Supreme Court justices.”

This is a different argument. You’re arguing that Proof of Work should die, not Web3. Web3 doesn’t require Proof of Work consensus.
> It doesn't though. The default format for requirements doesn't specify which requirements are top-level and which are not. Updating dependencies on a project that doesn't have this distinction is complete pain. It also doesn't work when "production" might mean different environments with different Python versions.

This is why (imo) you should include immediate dependencies in setup.py install_requires, and use requirements.txt for the "lock file" that contains all dependencies.
>In 1978, the ACLU successfully defended the right of neo-Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois, a community populated by Holocaust survivors.

Is it any surprise that the ACLU has succumbed to the tide of public opinion? Their support of free speech in 1978 meant supporting the rights of literal neo-Nazis. Do people understand how unpopular that is? Their adherence to higher principles (free speech), when it results in those actions, cannot be tolerated in the modern era. The ACLU simply wouldn't survive.
My point, which was probably badly made, is that the article compares the artillery capabilities while (among other things) completely ignoring the existence of the various smart shells (rocket assisted, bonus rounds, airburst fuse, laser guided, etc, etc). Those of course do not replace the dumb shells completely, but means that a NATO artillery in a standard configuration can, when needed, shoot the equivalent of a cruise missile, clear trenches with airburst, etc. Russia can't afford those shells at all and only has dumb rounds. Those difference in capabilities clearly matter.

And even smart rounds aside, there is also the question of the communication links, the targeting systems, how reliable is the gear, how trained the soldiers, the software used to coordinate the strikes. How much time does it takes between a soldier requesting a strike and it actually happening ? Ukraine does it in 5 minutes, with shots scheduled on an individual gun basis across multiple units, meaning there's no obvious place to counter barrage at. etc. etc.

You can think of artillery as a parcel delivery problem, except you're delivering explosives, and this article is comparing competing solutions by comparing the volumetric capacity of their delivery trucks, a component they've chosen because coincidentally they're the better at. But you have to look at the whole solution and how all the pieces work together.
About 6 laptops of older vintages - Thinkpad T42p, a few HPs with Core2duo CPUs, all of these with 2GB to 4GB of memory, a few retrofitted with SSDs (the T42p with a PATA-SATA adapter)

A rescued (dead graphics card) "late 2009" 27" iMac (running Linux) with a rescued 24" 1900x1200 monitor which I currently use as my main workstation

- I was talking about ACID guarantees across databases (ie across users)

The FAA has become increasing bureaucratic and in many cases it is causing safety issues. Take the recent case where they deemed it illegal to do a low-pass over a private airstrip to assess safety prior to landing.

I'd like to see the FAA do a pass over existing and new regulations to see if they can generalize any of the rules. IE if the concern for safety is due to momentum/potential energy, codify that rather than separate limitations on weight and speed.

Keeping penises out of the same room with vaginas will not magically eliminate sexual assault because sexual assault is based on power and willingness to harm another, not whether not tab A physically fits into slot B.

If you think keeping penises away from vaginas will eliminate prison rape then clearly you don't know much about rape in mens' prisons.
