For a long time there has been speculation that large amounts of fruit aren't good for most people.
Excellent read! Thanks for sharing this!
Kirkland cups have a recycling symbol (5) on them.

Just take the foil off and rinse and I’m told they are good to recycle.
Your comment makes me smile. I've been experimenting with my morning coffee since the percolator was considered state of the art. I've probably got enough different coffee making paraphanalia in the attic to start my own museum.

And what I've finally settled on are locally roasted beans (generic Columbian), a good grinder and an aeropress.
No surprise: A shitty diet + fruit is not going to make a big difference.
You can make this argument for a lot of things. Some of my best childhood memories are attached to "garbage" rap/hiphop/pop/rock songs of my youth. Sure, it's not complex and was produced by a focus group, but it reminds me of comfort and my family.

I think the best thing about the artisanal foods movement is allowing the emergence of a huge number of small businesses that aren’t centered around knowledge work. It’s no long only megacorps owners that make huge profits off eat we eat (I learned this week that the Mars company that produces mass market confections is a $40bn annual revenue private company)

I am frankly astonished by this article and all of these comments. Right now I have only 3 digital subscriptions totalling $20.58/month. (Admittedly that's low right now; I usually have an additional 2 streaming services, rotated every few months, for maybe another $25/month).

The key thing to remember is that any recurring subscription costs us theoretically infinite money (given infinite time). Obviously we won't have that subscription forever, so it's up to us to calculate how much it will cost us over the next month, year, decade.

Any time someone says "Just $N per month!" all I hear is "costs infinite money unless I do something about that." This thought really helps me resist leaking money like that.
I mean, I hear what you and others are saying in the responses. I’m sure there’s coffees out there that, if I tried them, I’d admit were different, and likely better, than what I’m having now.

But I’d be worse off overall in that world, because then I’d go from enjoying cheap coffee, to hating cheap coffee and only enjoying “good” (read: expensive and/or time consuming) coffee. Folks would say “try this coffee, you’ll never go back to Folgers”, and you know what? They may be right! But why would I be better off? I’m already happy. I already enjoy my coffee.

Always trying to pursue finer and finer things leads you to a hedonic treadmill that’s hard to escape. It’s a trite and cliche Sheryl Crow lyric, but it’s absolutely true: It’s not getting what you want, it’s wanting what you got.
Disclaimer I only have access to the abstract. It seems unreal to me that you could explain a bmi jump from 25 to 31 in six months with a fruit diet. Their randomization doesn’t pass the sniff test.

IMHO, again without having access to the article, the most likely explanation is they have poorly matched trial and control groups with small (80) number of participants. That they didn’t report changes at all and just the final values raises a red flag.

The other major caveat is this was presumably done with Iranians and I have mostly no idea what their baseline diet is.
Yes I agree.

I think there might have been a case for intellectual property many years ago when the cost of entry was extremely high. To write a book and get it published required a big amount of effort to get it to the finish line. It would therefore make sense to have extra protections.

But now a days? Anything that can be digitalized can be distributed instantly and massively at an extremely marginal cost. But whereas in the past it was relatively easy to catch and punish someone that had broken intellectual property laws and was making any kind of real money with that... Now a days it becomes a much more difficult task, because obviously to track down everyone that is committing piracy is incredibly difficult and expensive. Yet companies are using our legal systems to do exactly that. The amount of money and time that is spent in court every year in patent related issues is astounding.

We also have to consider who the owners of intellectual property are and therefore who is benefiting the most out of the system. And curiously (well, not really) most patents are owned by big transnational businesses. Why is this the case? Well, because when a patent is useful and is owned by a small company it is very much posible for a big corporation to acquire this patent either through directly buying it or through buying the smaller company. This is common practice. Not only that but these big corporations have the resources (legal and monetary) to release similar enough products that will overflow the market anyway. An example of this is Amazon through their Amazon basics line.

In terms of creative effort, I think it is worth to look at tiktok and how people will make use of copyrighted material to produce thousands, if not millions, of these small videos that bring entertainment to so many people. This is possible through the fair use act which in reality is a form of intellectual property waiver. But this can easily be turned to its head when the ride of virality ends. Just look at YouTube and how most small creators are being sued for using copyrighted material in ways that in many cases are unfair. But what can they do about it? It's not possible for a small YouTuber to go head to head against a company the size of Nintendo (known to be "patent trolls").

I think in many ways the intellectual property system has stopped serving small creators and innovators and instead is used as a legal recourse to precisely uphold oligopolies and slow down innovation.
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a rolly-cart that I break out every day with all my coffee gadgets, but something about my local 7-11 coffee makes me go there at least once a week. They actually have solid coffee compared to all the other 7-11s around me, but it's also the short drive and talking to the nice owner that remembers me.

Similar experience. I worked in Europe, Switzerland and then Italy, and got hooked on great cappuccinos and espressos. In fact, I didn't drink coffee of any form before I moved to Geneva. But when I came back to the states, after a brief habit of overpaying for bad cappuccinos, I switched to drip American. There was a guy in North Beach who had a following who could fix a legit cappuccino but it was a lot of trouble. It's just not worth it. Even espressos, a much simpler drink to make, isn't really worth it.

Along the lines of the article, I'll even offer that bad coffee can be more memorable.
LogSeq, maybe. Mind mapping is not its thing, but it can be bent to do it
YouTube is horrible. They use it for school occasionally and so it would have to be available during that Covid year of online schooling. My wife actually noticed that around Feb of 2021, the algorithm had won. Our son was hooked.

Yeah less fuss is the thing. Get some decent enough beans, and use a simple process to make the coffee. I found a little while ago that I enjoy the taste of the batch brew at the local coffee shop more than their espresso long black. I bought their pre-ground beans and a plunger and now I basically get the same thing except it's 1.50 per cup instead of 5 dollars and I find making a plunger means it's easier to share with other people.

I just store the bag of beans inside the plunger and the entire setup fits inside my backpack if I want to, just add hot water.

I'm kinda begging for a commenter to come in and discredit the research, I don't see how we could realistically fix this with the global coordination capabilities that were on display during the first two years of the pandemic.
No. You're just wrong.
Fast, good, cheap. Pick two. Applies to everything.

Let's break down this specific context (food and drink), because I think it's interesting.

Good generally refers to quality (quality of the beans, quality of the machine, skill of the maker, etc), but what this article touches on is that good can also mean 'nostalgic' or 'evocative'. They're different kinds of good, perhaps more psychological kinds, but our perceptions of taste are functions of our brain anyway. Good can also mean 'what I grew up with' or 'what I'm used to'. Similar to nostalgia, but worth breaking out because temporally it's what you used to like, and you still like it, instead of merely harkening back to simpler times occasionally.

In terms of fast, usually we think of the coffee at the corner store that's always ready, or instant. But there's also an element of great food where you need to spend time understanding what you enjoy, and this is something that rarely comes quickly. In this thread there are many people saying they don't enjoy acidic coffee, and equating this with not enjoying specialty coffee. Spending lots of time understanding roast levels and finding a specialty roaster with less acidic coffee is something that would take lots of time and understanding. Wine and beer are similar, people who claim to hate either can generally be convinced that there is some style of wine or beer that they like if you take some time to understand what other foods and drinks they like and pick something that matches. But this takes time and expertise, and it would take even longer for the person to discover on their own.

Cost is similar to speed. Developing your palate, trying lots of different coffees, buying all of the equipment, it's all expensive.

"bad coffee" magically hits all three: good, fast and cheap. But the good is the nostalgia/evocation/what you're used to, and well since you didn't pick quality you can have good, fast and cheap.

It is perfect, to some people. But for me, who has no strong nostalgic association with "bad coffee", and who enjoys food and drink and deep-diving and learning, picking good and fast (in the case of espresso) is a better choice for me.

If I can end my post on a slightly inflammatory note: my goal in writing this is to make sure that people realise that loving low quality things when they can afford and have the time for higher quality things is on some level blissful ignorance. There's nothing inherently great about the low quality product, there are just other choices and tradeoffs you're making, which low the appeal of higher quality products (time and cost investment in exploring them) and raise the appeal of the bad quality product (nostalgia).

If you're fine with this (and there's no reason not to be), then enjoy!
In my experience, the ESP32's ADC isn't noisy so much as buggy. When using the most straight forward mode of operation, software triggering, the ADC frequently spits out garbage. It's almost as if it's an internal pin mux problem.

The ADC can instead be clocked by the I2S peripheral, and when doing so it seems to bypass that particular bug. I did that for a hobby project. I was trying to detect 500uS wide pulses, and I went from regularly missing them to getting every single one.

I suspect that the software trigger mode goes through an intermediate MCU in the guts of the ESP32, and there's some race conditions in it's firmware.
I wanted to understand this but I just couldn’t get there.

This "conversation with my past self" is IMHO one of the most valuable aspects of writing notes (in the margin, on sticky notes, etc.)

Like you, I enjoy seeing what lens I was (over)using at that time, and what I thought of the various points made by the author.

Also concur about the ~20-50x speedup, especially useful to quickly recap what I found salient in the book.
How do you limit their access to the curated material?
Good point, market fragmentation is also an issue.

I always underestimate the number of people that miscalculate opportunity cost, and overestimate the utility of outsourced 3rd world labor.

As a side note, one should be aware of jurisdictional tax laws which can trigger based on the number of transactions in a given state. Accordingly, even international remote contractors that fail to file in each state with the IRS may incur a $10k fine. A common mistake for small Amazon/ebay businesses dealing with US customers since 2019.

Good policy is to talk with AMCHAM __before__ you make a silly mistake. ;)

For this simple reason, not one of those staffing-agent companies will be in my portfolio anytime soon. Dumb people test the law, and always end up losing.

You're welcome friend... =)

There's nothing wrong with a French press. Use great beans and a French press will make great coffee (with good ground size, water temp etc). The only real downside with them is that they don't filter all the grounds out of the final cup very well.
If by "cancel" we mean have the CC issue a new card with a new number but the same account, this doesn't always work anymore. The issuer may supply the new number to merchants who perform recurring charges.

Agree with this.

The article says there is a difference.
No, you don't. You ought to start with the things that will yield the largest returns for your efforts. The lowest hanging fruit.
Kinda. As long as you guard the boundaries of the parts that need performance, you can be a lot more flexible everywhere else. You see this in libraries like React where the external API is polymorphic, but they tend to pass through to calls that are monomorphic internally so performance is better.

I wish TypeScript helped more here. I'd prefer if it had a performance option that disallowed or at least warned about these kinds of things.
I understand your point, but I personally feel like we're at a point where anything you consume has downstream consequences that you mentioned. It doesn't even matter if you get made-in-the-(EU, USA, ETC) as the raw materials mined using the same bad practices.

> don't even know what "correct" pour-over technique is

Well, hmmm, it would only take a few minutes to learn. Frankly I think your post is signalling (on a meta level). I know it probably doesn't feel like it, but that's what signalling usually feels like from the inside (it doesn't feel like you're doing it).

On the object-level, I think there are huge differences in quality when it comes to... most anything, including coffee, beer, chocolate, you name it. I don't think it's usually about "1%" gains.
Lots of gems and kernels of truth in here (though TFA also condemns the upper-middle class that is likely the bulk of the HN community, too):

> This is the ultimate luxury belief: wanting average for everyone else while wanting the best for ourselves. We see this everywhere: Elites advocate for public schools that disavow gifted programs for the poor while simultaneously sending their own kids to fancy private schools with gifted programs galore. Elites advocate for defunding the police while living in gated communities with private security. Elites throw a fit about getting homeless people off the streets, while moving to neighborhoods where they will never see any homeless people.

> Not only do they advocate for egalitarianism for others while pursuing elitism for themselves, elites also recommend practices for others that they themselves don’t follow. This isn’t just hypocrisy; it’s pulling up the ladder.

> Harvard is a great example of this hypocrisy. Harvard considers itself at the forefront of promoting social progress and egalitarianism. They invented schools of thought such as Critical Race Theory.

> And yet, Harvard is the ultimate engine of inequality — by design. Harvard has the best brand in the world, with a 40 billion endowment to boot. If it wanted to, Harvard could expand its class size by several orders of magnitude in order to give a more egalitarian education for all. But Harvard doesn’t want to do that. It just wants to talk about equality. After all, the school literally advertises its low acceptance rates.

> Harvard is willing to critique an entity like Amazon, which by comparison employs millions more people (compared to Harvard’s 1,000 people), and serves billions of people.
> just because you can't doesn't mean the differences aren't there

But that's the point: we could tell the difference. We just all preferred the Barefoot when we didn't know what we were drinking.

Nowadays my tastes have evolved beyond Barefoot. But there isn't anything wrong with you if you just happen not to like Chateau Petrus.
> I can't buy a single slice of tomato or five leafs of lettuce.

Hit up the salad bar for this stuff if your grocery store of choice has one. It's usually measured by weight, and it is much cheaper and less wasteful.
Yes another reason people should leave these corporate run media sites.
It may be easier to search for how it relates to ADHD, the results are generally applicable imo just less severe.
Yeah, lots of good points raised in other comments but I agree. For young kids there isn't as much of an upside to freely roaming the internet.

With guidance, children can get all the good stuff while not having to face grooming, bullying, hate spam, or other dangerous traps online.

Once young people need to start giving back, publishing content, selling/purchasing things, networking, etc... then the benefits of the free internet really come into play for them.
The only black coffee I've ever liked is cold-brewed and I've tried loads of coffee. Probably most coffee shops in los angeles that are highly rated.

Yeah, well, if you want something really bad, order a Starbucks espresso in their paper cup.
>This is a very western perspective on the role of the individual. Not to say that it is wrong or others are better or anything

No, it's also wrong, as the whole luxury of choice the parent pretends to be the ideal situation, is based on a whole lot of other people supporting them (from parents throughout childhood, to social structures, technology, resources, and infrastructure, security, to healthcare, someone else whipping their ass in some nursing home when they're 80 and so on).
yes, but if minimization is a goal, rather than perfection, it's still a good heuristic.

especially when there are better options, namely, paying more to smaller farms that pay better.

>If this virus killed 95% of people would you be arguing against lockdowns?

This is the dumbest argument I've ever seen made on here. If it killed 95% of people, no sane person would be arguing because it becomes obvious that you are in danger. If 1.1% of the population dies and you don't have any of the health risks coinciding with mortality from the virus, then you have little reason to put your life on hold, unless you're unlucky and don't realize you have some unidentified health issue, which at that point, is a rounding error.

I guess if you're on the side doing the coercing then, yeah, at that point you probably think you're saving everyone from themselves.
There's something like a reverse ad hominem I don't have a term for.

"Person made x, so why would you doubt them on y?"

Lots of people latch on to high school achievements as their life passes them by until they realize they haven't done much in a long time and have a mid-life crisis. Some people buy an expensive car. Others start a Chrome fork and crypto scheme.
TL; DR: it’s bullshit.
