> A significant chunk of the US votes on single issue matters that have nothing to do with economic status (abortion, gun rights).

I wonder if the design of our so-called democracy has something to do with it. It's funny how this major foundation of our society escapes scrutiny, and it is mostly only the players within it who get any attention.
I would guess what is desired is low LDL in order to not build up plaques and avoid congestive heart failure.
I have very low LDL but I’d trade it for higher testosterone levels. Last test check was 200 ng/dl. I’m not a hardgainer body type either, but due to aromatase converting my T into E my body ends up storing more fat.
Yeah, that's unfortunate it does not support UEFI out of the box.
Upvote for 30 years. Try it for a while, if creative industries aren't meaningfully damaged by the reduced IP rights, then maybe even take it down lower to like 25 or even 20 years.
never even heard of this one too. waiting for one of the big ones to fail.

Security theater has two acts.

The protagonist makes something poorly in act one.

Act two concludes with a loud Greek chorus…yet the whole thing is inconclusive as the problem is never solved.

Maybe because between faang salaries, the plush lives in the academy and the patriotic satisfaction of state organs the field is left to the world’s mccaffees…and I don’t mean the McDonald’s coffee.

I mean despite the lock picking lawyer, padlocks mostly work.
I have the opposite perspective actually. He accidentally made something fun that a lot of people enjoyed, and instead of letting them run with it he closed it down out of, essentially, pique because he thought those people were having fun wrong.
There's a current U.S. bill from February looking at reviving these as well, https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6869... but it hasn't passed the house yet.

Let's say hypothetically we gave letters of marque to civilian hackers, do the letters need to be registered somewhere, or is it a bearer token you provide when you get caught by your own side, and if you do have one, does it make you an enemy combatant, and therefore a legit target from the perspective of target nations? Can the Letter holder use subcontractors?

That we're only seeing the bill now means they haven't been necessary before. It's romantic, but it doesn't seem like wise policy, and it sets a precedent that licenses american civilians to be terrorists against other nations, which has historically been a privilege reserved for the intelligence community.
It's got two hoses, one for intake and the other for exhaust. But yeah, the apartment had terrible drafts. And also would turn into an oven. Perks of a concrete apartment, I guess? :)
> Barstaff don't get tips in the UK.

At least when food comes into it they may do, quite a lot of tips where my brother worked a few years back (pooled and shared between bar & kitchen staff). Nothing like the US though indeed.
You're right about all of this of course but I assumed the parent was complaining about BNSF who is responsible for these lines and not Amtrak. I'd guess the majority of trains going through these at-grade unprotected crossings are freight, and it's sort of a freak accident that Amtrak happened to find a truck in the way rather than a freighter
This is a great comparison, thanks.
Yes. But the actual title is "Trends and Disparities in Cardiometabolic Health Among U.S. Adults, 1999-2018" and the major conclusion was "Between 1999 and 2000 and 2017 and 2018, U.S. cardiometabolic health has been poor and worsening." The HN title is editorialized to focus on a relatively insignificant and easy-to-quibble-with detail.

Part of the problem is that the way we conceptualize money leads us to treat it as if it's a real thing, as opposed to an accounting system the state creates for various purposes, some of which are desirable and some of which are not.

If it can be done, it can be afforded. Only if it is physically impossible can it not be "afforded". That is where we ought to start as a society. Where will we get the money for a universal basic income? There are an infinitude of options--the state literally made the stuff up. The question isn't why there is so little money for so many important things, and so much money wasted--the question is why, despite being ostensibly democratic, we are so bad at statecraft (and have been since the Boomers took charge).
My local pub does the best burgers I've ever eaten. Absolutely phenomenal. Stone baked pizzas as well.

I'd go there for food with my partner, say a Sunday lunch, but I'd never go there just to drink. I can't think of anything more boring.
Ah, ok, so it was just bullshit. It’s virtually impossible to become hypokalemic from dietary insufficiency alone if maintaining caloric needs unless you’re puking or shitting your guts out or have certain endocrine or renal chronic illnesses - not over 2 weeks. And a headache is entirely non-specific - it may have completely resolved on its own as they usually do. We have to meet a certain rigor - we can’t just say oh headache it must have been some dietary indiscretions and low potassium with no evidence - that’s not how any of this works.

If you were critically and symptomatically hypokalemic a couple handfuls of baby spinach would not have corrected that deficit.

> Lots of sodium, no potassium, things get out of wack quickly

If you don’t have an endocrine or renal disorder or taking certain medications - no, they really don’t.

Sitting in the position of the doctor - there’s no way to counter this. You immediately jump to the conclusion you’re symptomatically having headaches because of hypokalemia based on no evidence whatsoever and just a coincidental diet pattern but with no concept of potassium homeostasis - there’s really not much I can do to convince you otherwise if you are inclined to jump to conclusions that quickly. It isn’t supported by basic biology and a practitioner actually has to show some consideration in their diagnosis. You’re going to chalk it up as being ignored. And there we are.

When somebody generally healthy comes in with an episode of a non alarming headache - conservative management is the evidence based standard of care. Come in for follow-up make sure the BP was a transient thing. Maybe have you do some home monitoring. Perhaps your diet is shit, but the potassium would likely not be the problem.

If you really think you’re chronically hypokalemic - maybe get a basic blood test (you can order them yourselves these days - take it when you think
It’s low) and take it to a doctor if it’s low. I’m sure it’ll be normal though - and you will have no further diagnosed your headache - just like your doctor.

Also 160/90 is not a great blood pressure to be living with day to day - but it is not "dangerously" high - or what we would call urgent or emergent. BP can be transiently elevated in pain or stress states and 160/90 isn't going to kill you. If you keep coming in with that or better yet you have multiple readings at home like that, we'll talk about lifestyle changes and then maybe talk about a chronic BP medication. But there is no reflex reason to do any lab workup just because a BP is 160/90.

What is considered safe blood pressure and how we should control it both chronically and acutely is something that has undergone a stupendous amount of thought and research since hypertension became a major health concern 75-80 years ago. Not immediately doing every lab test and imaging study in the book for a one time BP reading that high is not based on some capriciousness - it's based on some of the most basic and well-trodden evidence based medicine. It's not as cavalier as the assumption of many here.
Actual title is "Trends and Disparities in Cardiometabolic Health Among U.S. Adults, 1999-2018" if you want to de-editorialize it, @dang.

I'm no fan of the system we have, and I agree that it's dysfunctional at best, but my view is that the only thing worse than a two-party system is a single-party system. All of the problems we have with the power structure of the current US system would only be amplified if one party gains full, long-term control of the federal government.

Assuming that there continues to be a system in which I can personally operate, I'm hoping to focus my efforts around promoting positive electoral reform ideas in whatever increments can be gained. Things like ranked-choice voting, campaign finance reform, fair representation laws to counter gerrymandering, etc. My dream would be to see the (de-facto) two-party system turn into a (functioning) multi-party system within my lifetime, with a greater number of smaller parties, better-representing those who voted for them, and who must form coalitions with other parties rather than enacting change unilaterally in winner-take-all scenarios.

Of course, for any of that to work, we need a media environment that isn't constantly amplifying the extremes, and a general populace that is more resilient to extreme forms of propaganda, radicalization, and manipulation.
This raises a good point. I've adopted a rule, that something is not an "idea" unless it's shown to work. This avoids the scenario where someone like a manager takes credit for blurting out a suggestion at a meeting, and then taking credit after someone else has actually made it work. It's especially tricky when a team is working on something, and someone has to figure out who's name goes on the patent submittal.

Do you mean some models that are solar powered and others who have battery life up to a month? Or does the battery in the solar powered ones only last a month? Or how that works?

So was the ice business, not to mention the salt business, the ice cartel and the salt cartel were dominating but the person who invented the refrigerator put them both out of business in one swoop and managed to subtract all their wealth/ status from them.

In this case there is also the incentive to solve it if anything out of selfishness given that everybody at some point develops cardiometabolic problems
Count me in that 6.8%. In my 40s, resting heart rate ~50 (no it's not bradycardiac), relatively healthy weight, low LDL, low HDL, 115/70 BP.

I ride 25 miles 3/week on average and probably walk another 3 miles 3/week. Pretty much intermittent fasting (1 meal/day) plus some protein shakes.

Probably the most depressing thing to me about the US is how car-dependent almost everything else. In most places in the country you can't even have a walkable lifestyle (without driving somewhere to "hike") even if you wanted to. IMHO it's a lot harder to become unhealthy and morbidly obese if you routinely walk places.

>Bars and restaurants have simply gotten measurably louder to the point where people are choosing to meet at home instead. When English Pubs and U.S. speakeasies became popular, amplified music was not a thing. Even the name "speakeasy" comes from the fact that people could and did speak quietly in the bars!

I agree 100% there are even some 'trendy' stores I've visited where the volume of the music was so loud I just left and have never gone back. There are some 'clubs' that are just immediate hearing loss damage, and everyone who goes there will pay for it later in life. Just a massive wall of sound that is waaaay outside safe hearing for any length of time - noisier than any construction zone.

I have a friend who owns a popular bar and a popular coffee shop. He says he makes far more profit off the coffee shop (which has baked goods and sandwiches and salads) than the bar. Might be different in disparate places.

Not really; no one has cracked old age, for example. There's no cure for diabetes, either.

Democrats never gerrymander? Or just "not anymore"?

And, the popular vote for president is meaningless, just like "most yards gained" is meaningless at a football game (or "shots on goal", if you prefer the other kind of football). And that matters. People don't gameplan to get the most yards; they don't campaign to win the popular vote. Why fixate on a statistic that is not how elections are judged? Because your side is losing elections the way they are judged, and you think they shouldn't be? (I don't want to be jumping on you, but I don't see how else to take your words, and it's directly relevant to the topic at hand.)

The election rules are what they are. You can try to change them (Popular Vote Compact, or amend the Constitution), but until then, why even waste the breath to complain that you would have won under a different set of rules? Those weren't the rules.
Don't fall into the trap of needing the "best specs" for the job.

Camera's from the 2010s were producing great images in color and black and white.

Go to a store that sells cameras (B&H Photo, Target, Walmart, Best Buy etc) and find a camera that you like and would be happy to carry around with you.

> FWIW part of the appeal of b&w to me is its limitations, rather than just an effect to be applied to color photos I'd taken.

I get this, but most digital cameras will allow you to set the mode to B&W so the preview on the screen is black and white, however the color information is still there.

More than taking the picture, to get to what you may envision in your head will take post processing. It's not just a matter of removing color of the image.

FWIW I like Nikon...their Z line of mirrorless cameras are great devices with tons of modern features built in.
I think software is so hard to measure that having someone tell you there's a "right way" can be comforting to some people.
> I am one of these highly creative types

And, article quote:

> "Exceptionally creative visual artists and scientists – called “Big C” creative types"

I wonder...

How is creativity graduated from, say "ordinary creativity" through "highly creative", to "Exceptionally creative"? What is the measurement unit, and how is the measurement done - what is the tool? The test group and control group - which controls/tests are they subjected to in order to place them in separate groups? Is the measurement unit reliable - if any such unit exists at all? Valid? How is this (validity and reliability / uncertainty), in turn, measured?

The article was interesting, but it does not seem to answer these questions. As the topic is creativity, failing to even define this most central keyword (much less provide any metric or method for identifying it) ... ehrm... (well, honestly, words fail me here, I don't know how to express this in a polite manner...) it's just not good
No, but I used the Java 1.4 JVM to run StarOffice for compatibility with an old document that had no other reader within the last three months. I did this from my AMD Ryzen 9 5900x running Linux.

For work, I still have some third-party toolchains that were originally compiled on x86_64 linux in 2012. They are dockerized these days to make running these legacy toolchains easy. There is no possibility to recompile these on ARM to provide parallel containers that are compatible with Docker for Mac.
Another fine example of starting with the conclusion you want, then creatively interpreting the data to suit it.

TFA seems to be a somewhat wasteful version of an algo which in my mind I call 'sinkersort' or 'minsort':

for (i=0; i<n; ++i)
for (j=i+1; j<n; ++j)
if (a[j] < a[i])
swap(a[j], a[i]);

Here the inner loop basically finds a min value of the remaining subset. This progressively fills the array in the sorted order.

The number of comparisons is bound by n^2/2 vs n^2 of TFA.

No, I was just trying to work out what you were saying.

I do however think that it's wrong, why? Because human error is enough to deal with, couple this with now AI error. It makes society, crash investigation, designing roads way way more complicated.

Maybe if we ban human drivers 100% and optimize for cars then it would be a good idea. I just can't see cars not needing supervision for a very long time.

I doubt people are going to buy cars that might kill them by making "mistakes". We will see but I think it's going to be a hard sell. People can easily accept their own mistakes. A computer though?

For regulatory compliance, that’s still not acceptable because it opens the door to cross user data access or privilege escalation.

If someone exploited a process with a dedicated unprivileged user, had legit limited access, or got in a container on a physical, they might be able to leverage it for the forces of evil.

There’s really no such practical thing as single user Linux. If you’re running a network exposed app without dropping privileges, that’s a much bigger security risk than speculative execution.

Now, if you were skipping an OS and going full bare metal, then that could be different. But an audit for that would be a nightmare :).

Absolutely. Walking and sleeping especially — time spent burning energy in which it isn’t possible or convenient to eat. I recently read about how exercise kind of dampens appetite as well, including walking (though to a lesser degree than more intense exercise).

We should all try to walk and sleep more, it seems.
If you make $500k, you pay ~$50k in state income taxes in CA.

That's ~$4200 per month, which does not seem trivial compared to $0 in TX, FL, NV, WA, etc.

That could very well make up a decent portion of your entire spending bill in those states - allowing you to save / invest maybe another 10-20%. This (combined with the lower cost state) could help you retire a decade earlier.

Compared to <$2k per month in GA / Atlanta, it seems like something one might consider.
Of course he'd be saying something like that, he creates negative news about himself every few weeks (And often throws a bit of a tantrum over it.)

Somebody else already mentioned it, but I want to highlight Adobe's other CMS product: Adobe Experience Manager.

It is a bizarre product in the sense that the typical web developer has never heard of it, whilst it's one of the most powerful (and complex) CMS systems out there. Given its license costs, you'll only find it in large companies.

It's a stunningly powerful but also complicated platform. Still, it's a CMS on steroids with some truly eye-opening ideas.
When I studied abroad in Wales, it was literally the only thing to do in the evening. We had no TV. We didn't even have wifi at first (they added it a few weeks into the term).

> then BNSF should have all of its property (tracks and right of way (RR track bearing real estate)) converted into "the commons" (i.e. BNSF should be nationalized)

No, I said nothing of the sort. Many times, homeowners own the land up until the middle of the road in front of their house. But they don't have the right of way when pulling into the road, and must interact with other users of the public way in an equitable manner orthogonal to ownership. I'm advocating something similar for owners of railroad tracks, whereby trains don't automatically get the right of way, but rather track owners are responsible for doing improvements to mediate contention if they want trains to travel through intersections at speed. The default state of an uncontrolled level crossing should result in lack of speed rather than lack of safety.
