Nest is also my favorite. I just wish they didn't completely abandon the main Nest app and didn't force the inferior and convoluted Google Home app as the mandatory app necessary for the latest gen cameras. Such a squandered opportunity.

US - for example - might solve most of it's expensive drugs problem by simply licensing all relevant IP to India for a guarantee that they would be able to buy the drugs with up to 20% profit for the Indian seller after shipping, close an international deal, establish arbitrage and watch drug prices fall to <10% over a decade while Indians build up.

If they established a mutual research fund (possibly with EU and British ex-colonies), they would exceed the current rate of research at 70% of current funding (if the research is kept in the west, basically guaranteed saving - 30% feeds profits and marketing), but if they were to exploit lower Indian wages...

But this will never happen, because US is literally a business-interest device nowadays.

The way I see it as alcohol makes it easier to relax and open up social settings, but definitely not necessary. In my experience the hard part of loneliness is to get out of your house and put yourself in social situation at first place, and alcohol definitely doesn't help there.

I once commented on Reddit that one beer per day theoretically makes you an alcoholic. To date that is my comment with the most down votes, with a net karma of minus several thousand points.

Apparently there is a large crowd out there for whom one beer per day is seen as perfectly acceptable.
+1 scattered, too long, random, and I hope basically wrong. And yet, I'm sure I'll be thinking about it this weekend.

I guess I should have clarified that I was wondering from a human's biological perspective?

I don't quite understand why you are making these parallels to my question about any biological positives alcohol. Are you saying that alcohol is comparable to our need for controlled amounts of oxygen? Exercise clearly has some positive biological outcomes (stronger muscles, more resilient body systems, etc.). Does alcohol? And even with getting a fever you develop antibodies/tolerances (assuming you recover). Aside from tolerance to alcohol (which I am not sure why that would be useful) does alcohol provide any positive benefit to your body? I don't feel like any of the parallels you provided were useful to my question.

Again, I want to reiterate I was asking a question focusing on its benefits of the human body -- not trying to paint a narrative that alcohol is comprehensively bad. I really vibed with another comment that said alcohol can be a social stimulant and really can help people feel connected -- that's cool and I'm all about that.

But I want to reiterate my question: are there ever times when alcohol is actually good for your body?
Thanks for the Le Monde link, its an interesting read. Monoculture is a well known problem and hardly the invention of Gates' though.

Note that what this article is saying:

> In all super-regions, among individuals aged 15–39 years, injuries accounted for the majority of alcohol-related DALYs in 2020.

And if we break down by type of injury and look at the top-listed cause,

> transport injuries comprised 25·9%

In other words, the reason why "alcohol is never good for people under 40" is largely because young people behave poorly when drinking--and they choose to drive when drunk.

A "career alcoholic" in their 40s will probably be much better at controlling their behavior than somebody who drinks the same amount in their 20s (Edit: to be clear, there can be multiple reasons for this--your brain chemistry can adapt to the alcohol, and you can also get wiser). When I see quoted figures like 1.75 standard drinks per day as being "NDE" for some people, I think, jeez, I would have problems sleeping if I did that, and I have reasonably high alcohol tolerance (due to sex, mass, and ancestry). Considering that the quoted figures are averages per day, it makes sense that a percentage of the injuries are from the days when you drink more than average. 1.75 drinks per day could mean 2 drinks during the week, and then 5 drinks on Friday and another 5 drinks on Saturday. The fact that for some people, averaging 1.75 drinks per day has the same health risk as a non-drinker is just downright mind boggling to me.

My takeaway here is that because injury is such a major factor, there are a lot of other public health policies that can improve outcomes besides just controlling the amount that people drink. It is, in fact, possible to create policies that affect how people behave when they are drunk.

I have several Eufy cams and while their hardware is excellent, the software leaves much to be desired.

My biggest gripe right now is when you get a notification and tap it on Android, you get such a cut down UI, it doesn't even have a scrubber and you can't fast forward or rewind. Just a completely barebones player you can't control. Once you exit that and go to the camera history, you get a normal player with controls. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Ask HN: How do you use Bitcoin in a trustless way?
I'm still trying to figure out, if it is possible to use Bitcoin in a trustless way. So that no matter which parts of your tech stack are faulty or malicious, you keep control over your funds.

The following is what I got so far. I never used Bitcoin. So correct me, if something is wrong please.

1: Create a seed phrase with dices

2: Write it down on paper or carve it into metal

3: Buy a hardware wallet with no internet connectivity.

4: Never connect that wallet to any other device.

5: Type the seed phrase into the hardware wallet

6: The hardware wallet will display an extended public key

7: Install a software wallet on a computer with internet access

8: Type the extended public key into the software wallet

9: To do transactions: Create a transaction in the software wallet

10: The software wallet will show a hash of the transaction

11: Type that hash into the hardware wallet

12: The hardware wallet will show a signature

13: Type that signature into the software wallet

That's it.

As I understand it, there still is trust involved in steps 3 and steps 6:

3: There is not an easy way to check if the hardware wallet really has no internet connectivity.

6: There is no way to check if the hardware wallet really uses the seed phrase to create the extended public key. It could create an extended public key that the vendor can predict. One could test it a few times with throw-away seed phrases, but one would never be 100% sure.
Samsung and Xiaomi and whatever else that invents their own UI bullshit really really like to NIH syndrome the crap out of everything, and half of it is just AOSP with ads and telemetry added to it.

There are official stock apps, like Google Calculator, Gboard, Tasks, Gallery, Photos, if you actually want them. There are also the AOSP versions.

They frequently come on phones that aren't as full of bloatware.

It's fair to say refining capacity has been systematically reduced to create a bottleneck for the purposes of price manipulation.

Refineries have been running at ir near capacity for the last 20 years with no expansion in capacity. Any downturn or lack of demand has however been used as an opportunity to reduce capacity.

There's no competition because demand outstrips supply.

Contrary opinion: I actually just finished the anime a few weeks ago, first time ever seeing it - and for the most part found it boring.

It has some value. But if it goes away, there are other Apps that work similary.

Maybe not as slick, or have all the features, but they have most of them.

Hell even if whole App messenger ecosystem would go away, people could go back to SMS and voice calls and still manage to do 70-80% of what they used WhatsApp for.

Anecdotally, I've noticed that people who don't drink at all tend to be more social in general, while people who often drink in social settings can find it hard to be social if they're not drunk (and often if both parties aren't drunk). Hence all the replies here that equate alcohol with being social and absence of alcohol with social isolation. Alcohol has become a crutch.

Are you using "drunk" as a term for not being sober, or "drunk" in the common usage where someone is noticeably impaired by the quantity of alcohol they have drank?

Because it's quite possible to drink alcohol without actually getting the point of stumbling or slurring your words noticeably.

No. There is variability in the nutrients, microRNA it contains, the microbiome and levels of heavy metals.

Diet before, during and after pregnancy can affect the nutritional composition, and it can be low in vitamin D, iodine, iron, and vitamin K. Vitamin D and K are usually supplemented (K is given at birth).

Some women (around 30% iirc, can't find the number atm) do not have B. infantis because of low gut diversity, which is really important for infant gut health and long term immunity. Infants are usually exposed during vaginal birth, so babies born by c-section are at risk for not having B. infantis colonize their gut. Breastmilk can be a source of B. infantis.

Some communities with heavy environmental contamination have had lead levels as high as 41.1 ppb [1]. Baseline heavy metal content for most areas tends to be more in line with formula.

>"Strictly from a biological experience" humans are the mammals that have the highest tolerance from alcohol (which evolved recently).

it isn't just a tolerance. It is ability to use it as food, to metabolize it for energy. If i remember correctly our ape ancestors got it something like 8-10 million years ago. As i understand as a result they didn't necessarily had to climb the tree anymore for good fruit, the ones laying on the ground and already fermenting would do just fine (and even bring some pleasure :), and that possibly allowed to become more of a walking type than the tree climbing type.

Small amount of good alcohol, like a good wine, on the net seem to have positive effect. Yet those specific positive effects, like for example plague cleaning from the blood vessels, seem to not be of use to the people under 40, and thus net result for them is negative as even small amounts of alcohol do have some negative effects too.

Pole ownership isn't a clear cut thing, and cities are cagey around erecting new poles. So using existing poles requires paying someone money, or is impossible due to local telecom monopolies.

Try the Mala Market 0]. They have really good Sichuan products that are hard to find in the US. The quality is really good as they are a low volume business and travel to China to pick specific items. They definitely charge for this, but the quality for some things is well worth it.
I use them for things I can't get locally like rapeseed oil (caiziyou) or where the quality is wildly better like Sichuan peppercorns, Facing Heaven chiles, extra aged Pixian Douban Jiang. They used to be the source for Yibin Yacai, but now you can find that on Amazon and finally one of the local Chinatown grocers started carrying that for about 1/4th the cost.

3 or 4 years ago I was trying to find an editor that wouldn’t take an unreasonably long time to open a very large log file.. believe it may have been a couple hundred meg or even close to a gig really can’t remember exactly.

This is an interesting link! If I understand it right, does the hormesis response in relation to alcohol mean that building tolerance to alcohol may improve one's tolerances to other toxins?

That's how it has to be. This is a fairly open system in comparison to what America's founders were objecting against, this really closed guild system where you only find out how to actually make the contraption work for real when the master [of the craft, who teaches the other journeymen and apprentices] is eg getting death threats on a fluke happenstance and finally telling you...the tricks of the trade. On his deathbed. Other times valuable knowledge was just forgotten. And from that point on, they didn't make them like they used to.

That's how you get "limited protection" of the arts and sciences, and patents that were democratic ie I can file on my own for a provisional patent, it's really hard in cases like the Wright Brothers--and some others, and there's crackpots--but at least you didn't need to lobby to get one like in England, where it was an act of Parliament to get an inventor his patent, like James Watt. [Don't have visibility on how the two systems evolved when they broke apart.]
I read somewhere that some Gnome (and elementaryOS) people are looking for replacing Vala code with Rust. I can't find the exact place, but this is going on since 2016 at least https://blogs.gnome.org/despinosa/2016/11/01/rust-and-vala/

> Rust is on the horizon and have voices to use it instead Vala

And https://siliconislandblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/31/thoughts-...

And it turns out that the Rust people eventually came up with nice ways of integrating GObject, starting from 2017

And nowadays, gtk4 https://gtk-rs.org/gtk4-rs/git/book/ and relm4 https://aaronerhardt.github.io/relm4-book/book/ are pretty cool

So I think that today Rust is a more satisfying language to code with, even in the ultra-specific niche of writing stuff with GObject

I'm not sure if you are joking but you are of course implying to disagree with Last Psychiatrist is to confirm he is right about everything because disagreeing is resisting the truth.

When someone disagrees with a freudian, it's because they secretly know Freud is right about everything but are in denial.

Freud's theories are not provable or disprovable, if you want to kill your father you have an oedipal complex, if not you are repressing your oedipal complex. It's not subject to evidence since any event is explained under the freudian framework.

Last psychiatrist is presumably the "last" psychiatrist because the field has moved on from Freud's non empirical parlor tricks.
Why the insistence that this has to be perfect for it to be of any use?

If the optimizer can prove it isn’t used and elides any code that might call it, great. If it can’t, I can rewrite my code to not use that function or call it in a way where the optimizer can make that guarantee.

Apparently there is a large crowd out there for whom one beer per day is seen as perfectly acceptable.

Regardless of judgement about what is "acceptable", the idea that a beer a day makes one an alcoholic severely downplays how serious alcoholism actually is.

Not to mention that a person being able to limit themselves a single beer each day pretty much rules out one of the main criteria of being an alcoholic, which is being unable to control how much a person drinks.
