Not a chance I would want that. Thats just going to be a corporate takeover of public opinion and people will ultimately be muffled.
The simplest answer is that good, capable people need to participate in the civic process. Not just voting every year. Running for office, campaigning, donating, knocking on doors, participating and starting civic organizations, having children, raising those children with the proper values.

Unfortunately, a lot of that can be undone by things like lack of resources, which means things like securing your own or your tribe’s future is more important than advancing everyone’s.

It is possible that those in developed, stable countries are simply lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. As boundary conditions and parameters change, the situation can evolve or devolve with little control.
I completely agree. I live in Canada, and run a weekly Zoom call on startups etc. We have quite a few members from India, Latin America and elsewhere and I find it useful to get their perspectives. I even have callers from China (you need to change the Zoom data center config to permit this). These are people that I met on WeChat groups (unfortunately not a realistic option outside China for most right now), and some former students. We try to stay away from politics, but interestingly there is a wide range of points of view from Chinese callers.
I don't think that negates not showing up in 2016 (or prior). If anything, if you have zero presence and investment over a long period of time you can expect things to get worse.
But sometimes I don't know why it's a bad idea ahead of time! That doesn't mean I'm wrong -- often time reveals what it was I was subconsciously worried about.

That's what expertise is sometimes like: an accurate gut feeling, impossible to articulate clearly.
Eat less food and move more. There's literally nothing to losing weight beyond that. It's incredible to me the amount of mental gymnastics that people will perform to avoid facing this.

Maybe in theory. In practice, I disagree. Care to elaborate if you mean anything other than what's technically said on the box? Even the most recent DVD releases work on the oldest of DVD players without any firmware updates/online drm that could revoke a license or something.
Excluding all other fruits and vegetables in favor of potatoes seems obviously misguided.
If Sony creates a crypto contract with the same terms as their store contract, it solves nothing.
Where is this exchange?

Clearly if the price changes can be reported with such high precision, it needs to be based on a solid value from an exchange or a set of real exchanges instead of an aggregate of all the airport guys exchanging cash.

(For that matter, even the airport guys don’t set their own prices. They set a commission on top of the day’s forex rate)
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that potatoes gave you every vitamin and mineral you needed (except b12 which you can get from butter).
One advantage is it forces the language to articulate standards instead of the implementation defining the feature set. Standards tend to give stability and longevity to the language, as well as making it possible to write new compilers and make it more portable.
In any thread involving SQL NULL, I see a lot of not-quite-right explanations of what SQL NULL is, conceptually. I challenge anyone who feels like they understand NULL conceptually to explain the following query:

-- find orders with a total less than $10000
select order_id, sum(price)
from orders o left join order_lineitems l using (order_id)
group by order_id having sum(price) < 10000;

This query is actually incorrect. Orders with no line items at all are clearly less than $10000, but they will be excluded because: first, the left outer join produces a NULL for the price; second, the group aggregation with SUM over that NULL will result in NULL; and third, the HAVING clause treats that NULL as false-like and excludes the order from the result.

Of course, we can explain procedurally what's happening here, and each individual step makes some sense. But the end result has no conceptual integrity.

Extra challenge: explain why using COUNT instead of SUM in the query does correctly return orders with fewer than 4 items:

-- find orders with fewer than 4 line items
select order_id, count(price)
from orders o left join order_lineitems l using (order_id)
group by order_id having count(price) < 4;

Penn Jillette somewhat famously did this and lost 100+ pounds.
I don’t think that’s the case. I know someone who has no involvement in anything technical in his entire life and is using VPNs and torrents fine. He can surely work it out if demand requires it.

I recently tried torrenting for the first time in a while, and it seems like many of the sites I used to use (e.g PB, KAT) are either dead or mining crypto.
The issue at play there is the different standards for conviction vs sentencing.

The standard for conviction is "beyond a reasonable doubt". The standard for something to be considered in sentencing is "perponderance of the evidence".

As such, it's possible for a judge to take a look at a case where a conviction couldn't be obtained, but consider the evidence to be compelling enough to use in sentencing for something else.

Sure, the idea that they have to be mutable in practice is incorrect, but Haskell has "do notation" which makes Monads act as if they always introduced mutability, and in the spirit of a simplification it is correct in the essence.

The essence of the understanding that Monads act as a wrapper and define lifting and composition of wrapped types is correct in essence and that's the meat of the understanding. Define it a bit more rigorously and it's literally mathematically équivalent to saying "monoid over the category of endofunctors".

Show HN: onBroom – Chrome extension to combine results from many search engines
Wait, did TGIF go away too?! :(

Lol, I grew up overseas and TGIF was where we'd go to celebrate "American style" as a family, like on the 4th of July or whatever. First time I ever had potato skins. Didn't even know that was considered an edible food source until that day. Blew my mind as a kid.
Some people chose to solder the modification to make it robust. That's my guess here.

A reductive approximation: engineers estimate at 50% confidence (on average it will be done on this date), management and leadership hear that at 90% confidence (it will be done by this date to near certainty). Making these assumptions explicit up front solves tons of problems.
What a load of poppycock.
Ask HN: What are the most important things to ask if considering an equity gig?
What are things that you should you know and ask upfront from a person who is offering a role in exchange for equity?
Hi HN,

For a long time, we had been annoyed by the constant stream of commercial results when using search engines and we felt we are going deeper and deeper into the information bubble. We came up with the idea to take the search results from multiple sources to reduce the influence of the single company on what we see in the responses. This is how onBroom was born, currently it is still in beta.

How does it work? Whenever you make a query in your favourite search engine, onBroom extension runs the same search in multiple search engines. Then, it analyses received results by identifying the wage of each returned link to page, taking into account:
- number of search engines that returned it
- its position in every search engine

And finally, it gives you merged and filtered results presented in the overlay sidebar.

For now we use 4 most common search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckGo), but we plan to add more sources soon. Also we wan’t quickly to support other browsers too.

Any feedback appreciated.
No, not yet. Would you mind sharing the link?
Oh, I hadn’t seen that. That’s exciting.
>DRM has never prevented piracy

Maybe for movies, but game consoles have had a lot of success with it and have prevented a piracy.
Thank you for pointing that out.

A better relationship would be if the order_suppliers table was the one with a relation to this table and there wasn't even a column.
X-plane 12 is currently in Alpha and Looks pretty interesting. I think there's no need to worry about that going away. MSFS is of course looking pretty good; but in terms of rendering capabilities, X-plane 12 looks like a big update as well.

I think when it comes to simulation fidelity, it still has a nice edge over the Microsoft ecosystem. Though that did improve with their latest version. In terms of third party aircraft, there are interesting products for both simulators. Probably more for MS; but there are a few nice ones for X-plane as well.

P3D seems like it has served its purpose. It was a nice upgrade before MSFS 2020 became a thing for users stuck in the MS ecosystem without meaningful updates to their simulator for a decade or so. Now that they have released (and given how great it is), there probably still is a niche market for people with older setups that are happy to keep on using that; especially those that invested in third party aircraft. Of course, most relevant aircraft are probably also available for MSFS 2020 at this point and possibly in an improved or nicer version.

Other than that, I don't see any good reasons for new users to want or need this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know. I'm in a pretty redneck county and even here there are dozen independent bookstores.

Most of them are tied to a coffeeshop though. But if you check your local map you might be surprised.
How Psychopaths See the World (2018)
Yes. I made a post long ago on reddit explaining this in detail but can't really be bothered to find it.

But basically you can solve this with crypto in fashion that

A) Allows you to actually own the game/movie

B) Allows you to redownload it from third parties in case the first party disappears, including incentives for third parties to actually want to serve you the data

C) Allows you to have a reasonable second hand market (such as with physical goods) that both allows you to resell your stuff, and doesn't completely cannibalize the IP owner because people buy the movie second hand for cents and immediately cell it for the same price after watching it. This is done with fees and/or timelocks and/or max transfers.
> > If content creator want people to buy their content, then they should sell it.

> They are selling it.

The word "sell" means something different. They are not selling it if all they are doing is renting it.

Which is their right if that's what they want, but there needs to be some legislation to prevent them from calling it a sale when it's really merely a short-term rental.
This is really well written and easily digestible. It’s rare that content about diet is lighthearted and fun! No outlandish claims, very little misconstrued science, but tons of funny fads. Usually you’d have to dig deep to find the root of the authors point in articles like this, but the simplicity is baked in from the start.
The problem is that students and parents are not held accountable for failure in America. It's either the teachers, admins, or politicians who appoint the admins. So it's clear how that reaction to testing is incentivized. It was not always this way. Stuff changed about 40 years ago during the Cold War. The objectives changed, but the attitude that failure was always the fault of the educational system rather than larger cultural forces on students never went away.
Nice to know! I don't seem to hear much from the SA scene. Any sites to check out?
Agreed, it does sound that way, but it's amazing how many anecdotes there are of people who eat exclusively 1 type of food and thrive on it. I don't think modern intuition about nutrition is likely to stand the test of time.
I can confirm. I was preparing from marathon some years ago and the fastest improvements I have seen were when I started going for runs on empty stomach in the morning.

Question to you and the broader HN...

Is there a way to allowlist whole ASNs? I know you can't do it directly with like iptables/ebtables/etc but is there a daemon for that that'll watch for changes to them? I'd like to allowlist my cellular provider and my home ISP for example but they have a lot of ranges and sometimes introduce new prefixes
There are other methods of distribution than app stores. People didn't buy their copy of Napster from GameStop back in the day, they downloaded it from a website.
Costco.com is where to look for coffee and other foodstuffs. You may have to buy the coffee in 5 lb bags, but the selection is superior and the quality is generally very good.
> which largely udnerminded efforts to reduce (indirect) contact

One of the worst things that happened the last two years is this myopic focus on exactly one thing with zero regard to other competing problems. Everything has costs. Keeping kids out of school for a year plus has costs. I am fairly certain history will show that the costs to children vastly outweigh the marginal benefits gained from closing schools to "reduce the spread".

It turns out there are other problems in the world than just a myopic fixation to covid... the inability for "the experts" to balance covid against the rest of human existence is one of the greatest fuckups of our time.
This has been floating around now for about two days, and this is the first time I've seen any formal outlet cover the story other than Telegram channels and Twitter aggregators. It's rather telling about the state of mainstream American media today. In any other country, revelations like this would be front page news and more or less a gigantic scandal. But in the USA, it's radio silence. Not even an attempted verification of the information leaked in an attempt to debunk it, which would have been a nice starting point at least.

If you have a look through the pictures and leaks, there are some absolute shockers within it, and given that it's already spread like wildfire across the broader conservative side of the internet, I think it's certainly worth engaging with from the side of outlets like the New York Times and the like in a bare minimum effort to do something constructive.
Potatoes have nearly everything you need to survive. You won't have any deficiencies until you eat only straight potatoes for a full year or more.

Herd immunity through infection has never worked. It's incoherent even as a concept: to prevent infections, get infected?

There are a few diseases better to get as a kid than as an adult, but we mostly have vaccines for those now. And respiratory viruses aren't included in the category of those we need exposure to for immune system development.

>In 2003 Graham Rook proposed the "old friends hypothesis" which has been described as a more rational explanation for the link between microbial exposure and inflammatory disorders.[20] The hypothesis states that the vital microbial exposures are not colds, influenza, measles and other common childhood infections which have evolved relatively recently over the last 10,000 years, but rather the microbes already present during mammalian and human evolution, that could persist in small hunter-gatherer groups as microbiota, tolerated latent infections, or carrier states. He proposed that coevolution with these species has resulted in their gaining a role in immune system development.

Two questions:

1. What/Where is this market? What’s the forex equivalent of NYSE or NASDAQ

2. Even If both the banks hold the other country’s currency, (which in most cases they won’t), how do they know what the exchange rate is.
I provide:

* Known tasks and how long each will take (with error bars),

* An overview of known unknowns, how they might impact the project, and what research would bring them into focus,

* Then I bring up the dreaded unknown unknowns.

Loads of people in China use VPNs every day to bypass the great firewall and access foreign sites. They even rotate among many different VPN services when the ones they’re using get blocked.

I see no reason UK users couldn’t do the same. All it takes to get grandma on a VPN is for an enterprising grandson to set her up.
Yes but you have to discount ubiquitous firearm ownership. You can argue that is problematic pretty successfully but I don’t fault police officers (as a whole, obviously individual bad actors, again we have 350mm people here and 1mm police) having to shoot armed and dangerous individuals.

Oh that's a terrible idea, especially with the rest of the world looking on. It's basically a trope about degenerated democracies. Some popular leader is constitutionally ineligible to continue holding office, so they nominate their spouse who gets the name recognition and then they continue to rule, in contravention of the spirit if not the letter of the constitution, through their spouse, who is nothing but a rubber stamp. Hillary Clinton wasn't quite so bad in this regard, as she served a couple terms in Congress in between and had her own political career, of sorts. But Michelle Obama has no individual political career or experience to speak of. One could be forgiven for wondering if she's just a Lurleen Wallace, at that point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurleen_Wallace
Sure, but the point is actually doing the hard part means a different approach is needed.

Also worth trying getguesstimate.com. Unfortunately development on it is abandoned, as far as I know.

I made my own text-based tool for this at one point, but I lost it when I switched jobs.

I would like to recreate it except more generally useful. I would also like to make it compatible with the SIPMath standard (which are an open standard for conveying empirical distributions, e.g. as business-relevant inputs to estimations, or the outcomes of them.)
Simple is not always easy. I think it's important that we find easier ways to help alleviate this obesity epidemic.
This pretty much nails it.

I wouldn't quite say "most" as potatoes are surprisingly nutritious, but yes, it is notable that the article doesn't contain the words "nutrient(s)", "nutritious", "vitamin(s)" or anything similar I could think of.

I've always been curious whether many of these diets lacking appropriate B vitamin requirements might have a compounding effect w.r.t. people's interest & willingness to continue trying such diets...
Worked in the 50s though.
There's actually some science behind this diet. Potatoes are the highest scoring food on the satiety index. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-incredibly-filling-f...

Basically they're the most filling food per calorie. So if you subscribe to the idea that losing weight is mainly about how many calories you consume, a potato heavy diet should be effective.

And an all potato diet, while monomaniacal, even more effective.

Eggs and fish are also very high on the satiety index. If you threw in pretty much any vegetables and spices of your choosing and just stuck to those along with potatoes, even with a cheat day or three you'd have a very healthy diet which I bet most people would lose weight on.
This is a great argument. I couldn't put it better.
From a comment on the original post:

> I think this is a great post and I agree with many of the points, but I'm not sure if the people reading this would be in a position to do anything about it. There will always be pressure from upper management to get software out as quick as possible to build the highest margins possible. If this means not researching all of your dependencies, or not documenting the dependencies properly, those will be the first to go.

The OP is referring to the reason article they linked to. They are not noting that said article is an opinion piece that is in a long running series advocating on behalf of Ulbricht via libertarian ideals not via the actual law.

Nowhere in that opinion piece does it backup its titles assertion nor link to any of the legal documents. Basically op is arguing based on storytelling not law.
