The natural rate of return “saving” in metals is negative. Rust, security, and other storage costs are real, and inanimate things provide no return to carry them. And property is only valuable in the context of social uses. Else why is land so cheap in Detroit?
Online classes from schools in India didn’t engage kids beyond 2-3 hrs. That left a big time void which were filled by these online coaching classes.

But now with physical schools starting kids will be busy for a good 6-7 hrs after which (and home work, playtime) they will hardly have time for online coaching classes. Parents would soon realize this, if not already, and discontinue subscriptions.
The Thalidomide scandal occurred over 50 years ago--the FDA of that era is certainly not the same FDA of the modern era. Other federal agencies like the FAA have, in that time period, transformed from world leaders in advocation for safety to shells of their former selves peddling corporate interests.
the Flynn Effect is controversial for this reason. IQ tests are still useful of assessing and predicting individual differences of ability.
Totally agree. The charitable interpretation is the right one to make if you actually care about arguing the ideas. I'm sure my philosophy professor would be very upset with me.
People in their 20s have been living like there is no tomorrow for a long time, not just recently.

It is also not new to think the world is falling apart, or to respond to that observation by saying "but this time it really is". Self-centeredness, myopia, and bad decision making are the rule, not the exception.

And it's worth noting that self-centeredness, myopia, and bad decision making do not end when you grow up. The world these people say they're cashing out of was created by those very things. Maybe deciding not to care about the future is a part of growing up.

> Two years old to teens...semi-skimmed milk

I can see the argument going from whole milk --> 2%, but in general you need to be very careful with low-fat or non-fat dairy products, as they tend to simply add a ton of processed sugar to make it taste better due to the lack of fat.

Whole fat yogurts, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc are almost certainly better for you than their low-fat/non-fat alternatives. They'll keep you full longer and won't spike your blood sugar.
If you cannot with your own, you could try with custom ROMs, or through rooting (check the security implications though).

Have you watched 4k surgery videos of other surgeries? Do they make you repulsed as well? You seem to have some deep seated issues with being disgusted with something that isn’t any of your business. Why should you care how horrible it looks to surgically change sexes? Isn’t that between the individual and their surgical doctors? I’m pretty disgusted by you right now and I don’t even need to see 4k video of you.

It isn’t necessarily a good idea to use the same typeface as the logotype for setting other text, if that’s what you mean. It can make the logo just seem like some text. Obviously not a strict rule, you can make it work, but there’s value in having the logo stand apart.

And on the subject of learning the skill through practice, probably the most effective thing I’ve tried has been “copy work”, something I learned about in an article[0] by Erik Kennedy a few years back. Basically: reproduce existing good designs, pixel-for-pixel.

It’s like the 80/20 of design practice. It’s amazing the kinds of small details you start to notice when you try to faithfully copy a design.

If I were designing a language I'd call them or-types, to indicate a type that is "this OR that", as distinct from and-types, which are "this AND that". The product vs. sum terminology strikes me as needlessly forbidding, although it is undoubtedly cute that one can extrapolate algebraic data types to calculus and such.

May I point you at the MFi program? Its a program which prevents some accessories from being used with iOS without registering with (and paying) Apple.

Why is everyone ignoring the argument that Truecrypt and Veracrypt don't require a TPM to very securely encrypt a hard drive; therefore, TPM's are not even necessary to prevent a laptop thief from having access to corporate data or a company's internal network? If a securely-encrypted hard drive can be accomplished without a TPM (in or outside the CPU), why is a TPM in the CPU desirable? It seems to provide no real improvement in security will providing enormous potential for abuse. The only scenario that I can envision is that an employee simply refuses to encrypt his hard drive, even after he has been threatened with being fired if he does not. Does this happen often enough to justify the potential for abuse that a TPM inside the CPU affords--and in fact, assured abuse in countries like North Korea. By the way, I read today the Dell and Intel had decided not to use Pluton. How do you explain that if Pluton is so necessary.
I’d love to see the demo! I’m in the process of building something similar
I meant ordinary full-disk encryption with a regular passphrase and no TPM in the picture at all.

> 6. Lack of Traceability

This relates directly to what I do for a living. Product tracking in the manufacturing process can be very difficult & expensive, depending on how complicated the process is, but is very important and is critical to product safety & recalls. If you don't get it right babies could literally die, like what happened here. I work in the pharma/med-tech area but I'm sure this applies to food as well. They're both under FDA. Whether traceability is given the proper resources to get done right goes directly to company culture which is set at the top. The money to get it done comes from the top. You can't blame the peons, because all we can do is either blow the whistle or work for free. Those are the choices.

Product tracking starts with data acquisition at the PLC/sensor level, gets stored in a database somewhere, and retrieved these days usually with a web-based interface.
So if something goes tragically wrong and you're unable to do your job not only do you lose your source of income you also lose your healthcare.

I know drastically inflated incomes is the lingua franca of online discussion, but "easily pulling 7 figures" is a bit much, don't you think?

Here is a fun article by David July, who tracked down some of the filming locations. It has some nice photos of the iconic PlayTronics building at 400 National Way in Simi Valley:

https://mountsutro.org/2014/03/19/1089/

He did misidentify the bridge the white van drove over. It's the Dumbarton, not the San Mateo, and they are driving in the correct direction. (From SF you would take 101 to Marsh or Willow and get on the Dumbarton from there.)

A sad note: The PlayTronics building was converted to an Amazon distribution center a few years ago, and the entire front of the building was torn down and made into loading docks.

I suppose it is ironic that I watched Sneakers on Amazon Prime!
Maybe, but the road from high school dropout to NASA JPL seems a bit more tenuous when you don't include an education.

bls.gov tells a more complete story, in that machine operators make significantly less and job openings grow at a significantly lower rate than software, aerospace, robotics, and AI specialists, many of which require a degree, (and the siccessful outliers are not worth pushing as a good model for the 90%)

I can't say there wasn't a different, even a better road to some measure of success and an enjoyable career, but I can say this path was a miracle of positive life changes for me and every penny of debt I pay back to the fed is absolutely a victory lap.
Completely agree. I spent a lot of time when learning design, "designing" writing code since I was a developer first. That was a lot of time wasted but it took effort and will to learn all the design tools and understand the process for sure, but it was definitely worth it.
NPC is a propaganda term.
And yet if you read her rationale in the article, a lot of modern, young and ostensibly technically aware people would agree with most of it. This is far more about politics than age, specifically about trying to classify social media platforms as service providers and common carriers, and strip them of Section 230 protection in order to allow government control over their speech.

I think there's plenty of conformism in cities, but it may not chafe those of us who are liberal or progressive the way we are chafed by smaller towns. That said, I certainly think this is more agreeable than arguing that small town cultures are inferior.
Rich Hickey when talking about Clojure language design used to point out that 'simple' is not the same as 'easy'. In fact making something simple requires a lot of hard work. That's one of the reasons why you should use professional tools if possible. Because if they're good tools the people who made them have put a lot of effort already into making them simple in the first place.

Well as another Seattleite who bikes a lot, I have to say that infrastructure is only part of the solution. I chose my neighborhood on the basis of bikeability - it was literally the most important metric. And demographics and narrow streets trumped bike-specific infrastructure by a wide margin.

Upper middle class folks are much less likely to kill you regardless of what sort of road they're on (I can pretty much predict the probability of bad interactions simply based on looking at what folks are driving). And in the absence of any effective law enforcement with regards to traffic laws improving your priors is fundamental.
(Heck in the WA state 10% of fatal crashes are due drivers who don't even have a license at all
https://wtsc.wa.gov/download/12727
- apologies for the cert warning on the above)

And the other thing to look for is narrow streets (big feature of my neighborhood here) which keeps vehicle speeds down.

And don't bike after 10 PM at night (that's what buses and Uber is for) - too many impaired drivers after that point.

And keep in mind that separated infrastructure does little or nothing at intersections and driveways. There's a notorious separated lane across I-5 from me where lots of my friends have had bad interactions (including injuries) at parking garage driveways (a particularly nasty case is associated with the garage for a medical practice - we theorize that folks are coming out after unhappy doc visits distracted by the prospect of looming financial ruin - another US-specific feature ;-)

I take the lane there (which is scary as it makes drivers cranky, but again given the demographics they're not homicidal (at least so far)) but it beats getting squashed by someone speeding out of the garage.

I think the way forward in the US lies in achieving automated (and therefore safe and cheap) public-ish transport so we can give an alternative to the folks that can't drive safely and get them from behind the wheel. Short of that infrastructure (if built correctly) can be helpful but like bike helmets gets way more attention than warranted.

There’s a good talk on Monarch
https://youtu.be/2mw12B7W7RI

Why it exists is laid out quite plainly.

The pain of it is we’re all jumping on Prometheus (borgmon) without considering why Monarch exists. Monarch doesn’t have a good corollary outside of google.

Maybe some weird mix of timescale DB backed by cockroachdb with a Prometheus push gateway.

Ask HN: Food Addiction
I'm very obsessive and it makes me very susceptible to addictions. I have very poor moderation but I've got strong will power.

I was able to stopped smoking, drinking alcohol and playing video games by just getting rid of all the "paraphernalia" and quitting cold turkey.
After a good year or so of complete abstinence, I was able to introduce those things back in my life and exercise moderation. I could drink socially and play video games without harming my work productivity, etc.

Now I'm struggling with food addiction, which ended up being my escape valve and receiving all my obsession after I quit everything else.

I've tried fasting and I was able to do 18h fasts daily with no problem and even go over a week without eating, just on water and herbal tea. But that completely messed up my habits, metabolism and relationship with food, and I'm now struggling to follow a schedule and any kind of diet.

So I was looking for a way to "quit food" without the unpleasant side effect of death. This is not about weight, I'm a bit overweight yes, but I exercise and am able to keep a decent shape. The real problem is that my blood work is starting to approach the higher ends of what is considered ok. And I'd love to avoid becoming diabetic and obese in my later life.

I'd love to know if anyone has been able to completely replace food with protein powders and vitamins, hospital liquid diet, or any other alternative. The idea here is to abstain from food for a full year and then restart eating normally with a light balanced diet with a nutritionist's help.

Has anyone done this or is familiar with the supporting science? What is recommended or non-obvious mistakes to avoid?

Thanks!
Yep. Ironically I felt he turned into the very thing he was uncovering. Towards the end of 2021 he made this promise to donate X dollars to a charity if he reached a million subs. It came across as pretty disingenuous.
That depends on which Kanton you are in. In Kanton Zürich this doesn't exist, but you get a wealth tax.

The plant doesn't have anything that matches and no contamination of the remaining formula was found, but we do seem to have a common point of contagion. This makes me think that perhaps what's really going on is the actual problem was not contamination of the formula, but contamination of the packaging coupled with imperfect handling.

Interesting that Google replaced a pull based metric system similar to Prometheus with a push based system... I thought one of the selling points of Prometheus and the pull based dance was how scalable it was?
Well they said they were reaching for a water bottle. For all we know they were yelling "death to the sidewalk dweller" as they deliberately murdered someone.

In Canada, drivers are not generally held responsible for driving that is normally incompetent. So the defence would of wanted to establish that such incompetence had occurred. It had to be a mistake that anyone could make.

I gather why it's male, but is spatial intelligence particularly European? IIRC, East Asians overall score noticeably higher than Europeans overall, all else held equal. And their relative underrepresentation in the US elides the fact that this is a huge proportion of the global population.
Calling Canada a petro-state is inaccurate at ~6% of GDP. Perhaps you mean more generally a resource based economy which is largely true.
Yeah, I think the "North American" way to make this design coherent would be frequent sharrows markers, low speed limits, and no other lane markings. The sharrows markers would make it clear "yes cyclists are supposed to be there" and the lack of lane markings would make it clear "shift left as you need".

All our goods are imported since we make hardly anything. The few consumer products Canadians do make generally get exported to countries with higher incomes or as luxury goods. So it definitely matters.
Prometheus itself has no scalability at all. Without distributed evaluation they have a brick wall.
Good design can be performed with any language. However, many language distract you from what good design is all about : thinking deeply about what your particular problem is about. The go programming language, because it is so minimalist, will encourage you to spend time on that, instead of which language feature you should use for representing one part of your data.
Historically, communities have lived on very simple staple diets, like the Three Sisters in the US. You can survive almost entirely on just maize, beans and squash. The Iroquois supplemented with foraged nuts and fruit, plus hunted/farmed meat (which also doubled up as a leather/material supply).

Also potatoes are almost complete if you get sunshine for your vitamin D, but you'd be deficient in at least B12. I think most wild animals eat multiple things so it's not really fair to try and find a single food that fits.

On changing diet, your body becomes more sensitive to deficiencies. If you're lacking in calcium, for example, and you break a bone, it's a lot more serious at 75 than it is at 25. The NIH recommends a slightly higher calcium intake in young people (for development) and over 50s (for preventative maintenance). Maintaining a young person's RDA your whole life wouldn't do you any harm though.

In the animal kingdom there's the concept of food chains/trophic levels. This is why ecosystems are fairly fragile if a provider species is removed, e.g. by extinction. Humans have learned to adapt to wildly different resources, and we have thousands of years of knowledge and culture about how to prepare food in a way that's nutritionally beneficial. There are several "staple" human foods which we've learned to eat, like cassava, which contains cyanide when raw.
Nice! It's funny, of all the times I've visited IMDB I somehow never noticed this feature. Thank you for pointing it out.
Let me suggest you likely have some kind of vitamin deficiency making you obsessive. Address that and your relationship to food may stop being so problematic.
