There's loads of studies of acupuncture though showing no benefit.
The concrete financials are still dependent on an assumption that someone else will buy a product that the company makes. It seems inescapable that the bedrock of any definition of value is what someone else is willing to pay for something. As an example, you could assume that bitcoin should have zero value, but apply concrete financials to derive a non-zero value of a bitcoin mining company. To get the valuation of anything, you ultimately have to make an assumption about what people will value in the future.
The independent council that rejected the map was set up in law by Democrats. If they hadn't passed that law recently (or just undid it), then there would be no legal problem. So it's actually their own check that stopped them.

Similar to how only companies with an ethics hotline get ethics complaints.

I actually think you give the parent argument just a tad too little credit. If crypto was useful as a currency (and, as you point out, if it is comparably as energy efficient as visa), that would be an effective refutation to the energy consumption argument; freeing up human resources to do something else would be a substantial net benefit of the system for society.

However, crypto does not behave to act effectively as a currency; it would be an awful idea to replace the global financial infrastructure with crypto thus the energy costs are here to stay.
Looking at things nationally is a little unclear imo. Locally the shortage is evident. In LA county back in the 1960s when prices were very affordable, the area was zoned for a population of 10 million people. Today after rezoning decades ago, its zoned for about half that, and nearly completely built out, and what do you know prices are high as a result. Capacity was available then it became scarce and prices rose.
Definitely. Some bands work almost entirely with rhythm. For example what Meshuggah (the Swedish metal band) has been doing for the last 30 years. :) This is a video of a breakdown of two riffs from one song from their new album.

Latex has its purpose for high quality and fully controllable templating. Does nota try to achieve the same?

Latex, however cluttered its syntax is, benefits a lot from strong tooling that has matured over the decades.

So I'm wondering what the plans are for nota, given that it is a subset of HTML and a subset of latex (judging from reading the examples).

Why not use commonmark? The dynamic argument is kind of invalid, given that markdown.js and other parsers exist and are used heavily on social media web apps and sites.

If the feature gap can be identified as bringing latex to the web: why not implement something like latex.js, which could be embedded in web browsers similar to how pdf.js changed the web?

I’ll just say, you are acknowledging that social media does make teens suicidal but you are comparing it to the “many other things” in their lives that make them suicidal.

Like what? Pressure to achieve? Being popular? Hormones?

Social media is a product like cigarettes it can and probably should be regulated. You can’t mandate everybody to have friends but you can regulate Facebook and TikTok.

Honestly: it could be made up or it could be true. There's nothing there to tell either way.

Ask HN: Cities Outside of Bay Area
I am interested in moving inland from Palo Alto closer toward Yosemite. I just want to be able to drive to Palo Alto within 2 to 3 hours once or twice a month for special occasions, but otherwise enjoy cheaper rent.

I am familiar with cities along the coast, but not the ones post San Francisco Premium Outlet. Has anyone moved in this direction? Any cities you would recommend?
User suggestions about better articles tend to be pretty reliable, so we tend to trust them. Sometimes they turn out not to be better (at least not by consensus)—in which case we can change the link back. I've done so in this case.

If you want to understand this process, you should understand that none of it involves actually reading the articles!
There's two stories here.

One is where the virus originated, which clickbait title aside is still uncertain as is discussed in the second half.

The other is "was bad science occurring in relation to investigating the origin?"

Which is clearly a resounding YES from undisclosed conflicts of interest, offers and pressure to manipulate papers, attempts to cover up funding of research, etc.

The clear YES to the second question is something that should be widely discussed by anyone of any partisan leaning who thinks good science is important.

And the YES also points to the importance of a much more thorough and transparent investigation into the question of origin, especially given the ongoing similar lab efforts.

An important but very disappointing read.

> Well, this is a new topic altogether, but I will try to respond to your straw man

Not a strawman, my point was contained in the original comment you replied to. ("WHO is still investigating how it actually developed")

In regards to the rest of your comment and the discrepancy between the case density around the market location in comparison to the lab, I'm sure you can think of many reasons why this evidence isn't conclusive.
Another angle to look at property taxes might be private property rights. From some point of view real estate taxes are a way to deny these rights by forcing owners to pay rent for the right to use the property.
I believe the lab leak hypothesis is that a lab was moved next door to the wet market about a week before the outbreak. It’s on page 119 of the WHO report: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/final-j...

> inheritance based credit system

It's not about "assigning points" but rather distinguishing "of a place" from "foreign to a place." I think I win on points--my family was wealthy landowners in Bangladesh, and her's settled the west coast of the US. My family had indoor plumbing way earlier than her's did.

But that doesn't mean I'm "of the U.S." just because I'm a citizen in the same way she is "of the U.S." The U.S. as it exists today reflects the culture that her ancestors handed down to her much more than it reflects the one mine handed down to me.

> I find this line of argument intriguing. I have soooooo many questions!

I have come to the conclusion that most Americans don't understand that culture exists in the same way most can't tell the difference between the national deficit and the national debt. They know the words, but don't actually grasp the concept.
I would love to buy you a coffee for improving my mood :)

Worth noting that you pay no income taxes in Qatar, and visa renewals are quick and do not require traveling outside the country for a new visa stamp.
Removing the human factor is not just about comparing energy and resource efficiency. There is a social and political impact. Intermediaries like banks infringe on our basic freedoms to hold our own money, to have privacy, and transact with each other as we wish. Therefore there will always be value to such a system that allows us to transact directly peer-to-peer; it is unstoppable that people will seek this, regardless of anything, even legality.

In terms of automating away humans, aren't we building society to improve human life? You're wasting human life by requiring labor, what is more valuable than that? At least as a heuristic, looking at human history it seems obvious that automation is the best way forward when people don't want or need a personable, smiling face serving them. I need to go apply for a bank account right now and know it is going to take weeks and several meetings, I passionately hate this.

>if mining rewards grow then new miners will join and that means using more energy.

The block reward continually decreases with time, so it isn't clear that more adoption will increase energy usage. I'd say the opposite seems likely - I worry how bitcoin will incentivise miners to secure the chain in the long term.

>I think I've seen a comparison between Visa and BTC measuring how much energy each used for doing a single transaction (or for moving a set amount). Visa was 10 or 100 fold more efficient. Even back then.

One on-chain transaction can be a settlement of many off-chain lightning network transactions, so in future the efficiency should increase dramatically.

Like the other poster I don't know the quantitative answer when it comes to efficiency and expected energy usage, but I'm again pointing out that there are other factors.
Whew, I just went through the process of getting a Permanent Residency in Japan, applying after working here for a bit over 4 years, and being accepted this spring, at a little under 5 years in.

It was stressful, but after reading this, I have to admit that immigration in Japan seems like a walk in a park, at least if you're privileged enough to speak Japanese and have a high-paying job.

I'm guessing the link comes from my Show HN post earlier today about a generative diffusion process neural net assistant which let me create 60 pretty catchy melodies that linked to this page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31343944).

One interesting question will be about copyrights. There are other melody-making programs but I'm not aware of anything catchy or worth registering with the U.S. Copyright Office being created by them. It costs $8.50/song. I've registered all 60 melodies I've posted so far since they all required my creative input, but with further advancements, the creative input will be reduced to cherry-picking best melodies. Eventually, a high enough percentage of the melodies created will be good enough that somebody will attempt to just register all of them. It's unclear whether they'll be judged as worthy of copyright protection under current laws or if these laws will be changed.

Another very interesting question is what's the number of "good" melodies. We could define this as being rated by random people at a level equivalent to an existing melody from a database (e.g. Hooktheory's) that they're not familiar with.

This is an excellent anecdote for exactly why we are building Bristle. We're finding more and more that oral health is not a one-size fits all. I'm glad you've been able to find something that works for you.

If you look closely at the data from the blog, there are flossing "responders" and "non-responders". I'll have some follow-up data published about this soon, but we've been able to define oral microbiome archetypes that we're using to predict which oral health regimens may actually work for you. There are some people who never floss and still never get gum disease or caries, and unfortunately some who do everything they can with no improvement.
If you don’t start nursing from the beginning, then your milk dries up. You can’t change your mind later.

Cow’s milk is not an adequate substitute for formula for an infant, but older children could switch.

In addition to the other reasons mentioned by TrispusAttucks, I can tell you that breastfeeding is both very time-consuming and painful (because of plugged ducts). So I can understand why women opt out, especially if they have to work or have other issues.
>>It would be bad form of me to not explain the incredible flexibility shown by Solana in terms of how they handled my payout. I intended to donate the funds to the Texas A&M Cybersecurity Club, at which I gained a lot of the skills necessary to perform this research and these exploits, and Solana was very willing to sidestep their listed policy and donate the funds directly in USD rather than making me handle the tokens on my own, which would have dramatically affected how much I could have donated due to tax. So, despite my concerns regarding their policy, I was very pleased with their willingness to accommodate my wishes with the bounty payout.

I am not sure how old the author is but I find these donations incredibly generous and sometimes fail to comrehend such generosity. Sure you got an education at this place but was it worth 200K ? I am not trying to look at the action of the author in any disdain but am genuinely amazed at how such a young person will have such tremendous generosity.
Fragomen is excoriated everywhere I’ve seen them used. They likely have an understanding of the real transactional relationship and leverage that. It isn’t the visa holders they ostensibly serve that is the service they are delivering for, it is some other organization at the company paying them.

Whether that is HR, Purchasing or whoever, I sure would like to know the real dynamic at work, because their ineptitude serving the visa holding engineers has a measurable productivity impact on these engineers when some screw up of theirs consumes the engineers’ lives.
Lets take the example above as being too much money (as "too much" is hard to pin down). In exchange for losing a home due to the $2k payment you will receive $80k.

Generally speaking 40 years worth of "I couldn't afford it" is a pretty decent apology.

This is working of NJ which has the highest rate at 2.5%, most states are lower.

Sure it sucks that you are paying $1k instead of $2k because your house is worth $200k instead of $100k but you know... You could sell your house for a profit of $100k.

What I want to know is how are the standards for research and medicine so bad that antiinflammatories are handed out like candy, provided the headline is true? Nobody ever did long term studies on one of the most popular kind of OTC medications, especially for their effect on pain, given that that's the main thing you'd look at for something marketed as a pain reliever?!
Still sounds like a lot of blue collar workers who need to be close to jobs crammed into tiny high-rises, paying for the tax either directly or through rent, and white collar works living in remote mansions with no tax.

alternatively, if blue collar workers cant keep up with the tax, then they are commuting 2 hours each way to drive in from the countryside

IMO why is the author leaving out the elephant in the room which is jobs? Who rents these apartments that go higher and higher in SF? people with jobs who can afford them. All of it is dependent on jobs. Prices are as high as what the wages of the local job market may bear. If houses cost a lot, its because there are a lot of high earners in the local economy buying them and affording to put in offers at these prices. Likewise with rent.

When you compare these metros and see similar growth but dramatically different prices, it does seem perplexing, until you consider the jobs. Median income is twice as high in SF than atlanta. That means there are more workers who are paid high enough wages to afford higher rents in SF, and landlords are pricing accordingly. In Atlanta there are fewer of these workers, and at a certain point it becomes difficult to price an apartment so high and still pull in prospective tenants as quickly as you'd like. As atlanta adds more high income jobs and fewer units of housing though, expect prices to rise in response and the low income workers more commonly pushed to the fringes or on top of eachother in overcrowded conditions.
Litestream is too much work if you're not using S3: replication over sftp. Even fossil has nicer no nonsense replication done over http/s. It's way easier to set up mysql with replication than manage unix accounts and public keys.
I can't disagree, but I offer I hope an amusing counterpoint I heard from my uncle. It was Korean war or earlier and during basic training they were learning bayonet fighting. One soldier protested and said he did not need to learn bayonet fighting as a knife wound to the ass is not fatal.

My counterpoint being, it's good to know the skills but avoidance when possible is best.
Many democracies vote for parties, not representatives, and many have no geographical subdivisions that are represented at the national level.

But I agree with your point about groupings on other dimensions. I call that demotmimata. The USA used it wisely during the land reform the military forced on Japan 1946-1949. I’m working on an essay about that.

If we want cultural representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular culture, and then vote for members of that culture.

If we want religious representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular religion, and then vote for members of that religion.

If we want racial representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular race, and then vote for members of that race.

If we want language representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as speaking a particular language, and then vote for members who also claim to speak that language.

Again, the same rule we apply to software architecture should apply here. Whatever kind of representation we regard as important, we should approach the matter directly, and not try to achieve the effect accidentally, as the side effect of some other architectural decision.

Indeed, many of the problems we see in our political system are exactly because too many goals are being overloaded on too few institutions. If this was a legacy software app, and I was brought in as a consultant to clean it up, I would immediately suggest that a dramatic increase in both encapsulation and polymorphism was needed, and could only be achieved by introducing new branches of government.
I just used the TheraBand Flex bar. It's a lot more efficient and I like the explanation for how it works. Basically through eccentric motion, it targets and strengthens the ligaments/tendons by "stretching" them so they're not so tense.

I experienced elbow pain after doing a lot of deadlifts and I assume my tendons couldn't bear the weight, since they take longer to strengthen than muscle tissue.

Fixed it after ~2 weeks of use. Highly recommend.

I meant more that I like the original Civ still to this day, but I also love Civ 4+ as well. They definitely streamlined it!
I most commonly apply Chesterton's Fence in the context of new employees / managers. In that instance, it's more about naivety or ego ("I know better"), and less about needing to read the ancient runes to fully understand something.

I've seen so many people jump into a business, want to prove themselves, and start changing things without understanding the context in which that thing was built. (Similarly, though less often, businesses expanding into new products or markets.) "Tell me what will change if you stop doing X" is thus added to "Tell me what will change if you start doing Y".

To be fair, citing Chesterton's Fence just make me sound wise (and/or a little curmudgeonly); the better story for the point I'm making is the hospital bed where someone dies every Thursday morning at 10am ... only for video footage to reveal the cleaner unplugging machinery to plug in their vacuum cleaner every week.
