> If Silca goes out of business, someone will buy the brand, like Motobecane and Schwinn.

This is what has already happened. Silca was an Italian brand that went out of business when the owner died.

Josh Portner (the guy behind using dimples to market Zipp wheels) bought them[1].

As far as I know all the pumps and other accessories are now made in Taiwan or China by contract manufacturers.

I have some of their stuff. It’s OK but no better than stuff from, say, Leyzne or Topeak.

I would wager it’s come from the same contract manufacturer.

1. I believe they were friends. There’s a nice write up of the story online. Came across as a personal project to continue the brand.
Having is the where-clause for Group By. It's easier to understand by thinking the SQL query as a pipeline.

Stage 1: From returns the whole world of rows.

Stage 2: Where filters down to the desired set of rows.

Stage 3: Group By aggregates the filtered rows.

Stage 4: Having filters again on the aggregated result.

Stage 5: Select picks out the columns.
I seems like maybe you’ve decided to read more into my original comment than what’s actually there.

The entirety of what I’m saying right now is “Both the Mueller and Senate Intel committee reports contain pretty extensive evidence and detailing of a significant interference campaign by the Russians on the 2016 election”. I was responding in regards to “blaming Russians” which was far from a baseless conspiracy theory.

> It’s OK to be wrong.

It sure is. Especially when you nerdsnipe yourself and try to drag a conversation with you.

> Just don’t spread your mistruths.

You are very invested in pretty much nothing at all. What mistruths am I spreading? That Apple appreciated people fixing bugs that affected them? Oh. No.
It is very hard to not take this comment as being made in bad faith. You either are willfully ignorant or have ulterior motives.

It is a matter of public record (as also detailed again in the article) that the NSA colluded with NIST to get weakened crypto standardised. This happened not only once but multiple times and they when weaknesses become known have repeatedly (and against better knowledge) downplayed the impact. This is undisputed. After the Dual EC skandal they promised that they would be more transparent in the future. DJB alleges that there is important information missing on the decision making processes in the most recent PQC discussion (I am willing to trust him on that, but if you are an expert in the field I'm sure you can elaborate here why it is incorrect). That's why did an FOI request which has not been answered and he is now filing a lawsuit over.

I would argue based on past behaviour we should trust DJB much more than either the NSA or NIST, but it seems you are more occupied with unsubstantially attacking his person than getting to the truth.
> The writer presents little numbers on prevalence.

IMO, the writer doesn't present any argument at all. All she does is repeat that "clearly, fucking clearly medieval people bathed and were clean and into it" in a number of linguistic variations. The evidence presented consists of a list of rules from a public bath and some skincare tips from Hildegard von Bingen. How that implies "[M]edieval people bathed regularly. I am very serious. It is true." is beyond me.

Unless it's a joke?
There must be a million cheaper ways of drawing attention away. Here, let's come up with a couple:

Musk announces that in order to help repopulate the world he's looking for 10 female "paid volunteers" to come stay in a compound during 2023.

Musk begins a run for Senate in Wyoming.

Or even more simply: Keep talking about purchasing Twitter, but don't actually write up an offer!
People literally do hormone treatments to solve things like pattern baldness. If you're concerned about unhealthy hormone treatments you should probably start with the stuff that's far more common. Finasteride is used for both hair loss as well as hormone therapy for transgender people.
Yea, I‘ve got to be honest in that I don‘t understand Java or C# hierarchies.

Node.js and Rust do module systems just fine.

Sounds like a [common?] Chinese misunderstanding of how English works to me. I've had emails from a few Chinese companies I bought from on Amazon, where they addressed me as "Hello Dear".

I assume they think "Dear" can be used in the same way as "Sir" or "Madam" when you don't know the addressee's name.

Cool article, wasn’t familiar with MoFi or them being a small shop based in Sebastopol.

Interesting context as this seems very appropriate for the current times. As a society we are increasingly facing the digitization of basically everything.

I’m not an audiophile but like vinyl when possible, too bad “purer” all analog recordings are so “difficult” to produce. But hey these recordings are pretty old and maybe we should just be glad with what we have. (Obviously false/misleading advertising is lame but at least the MoFi staff was honest)
Shame, this is when HBO becomes just another streaming service. The budget will probably be cut and the accountants will start to choke it by cutting cost to the bone. The problem is that accountants will cut items that seem useless but they may be important for the creative process to work. One thing it for sure, quality will suffer.
The benefit is a nice mental model of where what function lives (if you don‘t overdo it). This type of packaging also lends itself to module systems, a thing I desperately wish for in C
> Contrast that with what BASIC could do at the time... Is it any wonder LOGO died out and BASIC thrived?

AIUI, implementations of BASIC on home computers were a lot simpler and more straightforward than LOGO or LISP - for instance, GC in BASIC was an afterthought and only applied to strings. The real competitor to BASIC back then was FORTH.
Avoiding the birth of a child right before winter would be advantageous for its survival… winter being (on average, not all regions/locales obviously) the hardest month to survive evolutionarily speaking this would be a beneficial trait and be likely to stick around. Ideally you want your early hominid babies at the end of winter through spring and summer so at worst they are though the first few fragile months that put the most drain on the mother, before the harshest winter weather sets in.

While not globally consistent due to regional weather differences it makes sense for there to be a broad average seasonal benefit.
> What does the phrase “shake sugaree” mean, though? [...] The Grateful Dead’s song “Sugaree” references the phrase, but that isn’t very enlightening, Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter were Elizabeth Cotten fans and just thought it sounded cool. I learned from Google that the Sugaree were a Native American tribe in the Carolinas; maybe the song references a dance of theirs? The annotated Robert Hunter lyric book says that Elizabeth Cotten was actually referring to the tradition of shivaree, but gives no explanation as to why she would call it “sugaree.” If someone can enlighten me, please do.

I have had the exact same question for a while now. If anybody here has an idea, it would really make my day :)
Your behaviour here is the most antisocial thing I've seen in quite a while on HN, and I do hope it has negative consequences for you.

Put it such extreme and dishonest way, reducing sugar in food it an attempt to eliminate obese people... No , the attribute is not the object.

So you deny the rights of a community of people to decide what they deem legal or illegal ?
All this for the personal benefit of a (literal) couple of people ?

There are a million things more dangerous to the continuation of the human race than a few people willingly becoming sterile to solve other issues with their body. For decades we were shoving lead into gasoline and poisoning an entire generation for the sake of more money, for example. And the 'androgenization of humanity' seems like some nonsense, considering there's zero data or otherwise to back that up.
> This is also a bog standard description of Christianity and a bunch of other religions.

I never said India is special in this regard.

>Bullshit. Just the history of England and France alone are packed full of wealthy and privileged people focusing their life on the pursuit of enlightenment (spiritual, artistic, and/or scientific) and giving up pre-arranged lives of power and wealth.

Name 2 kings or monarchs who did this voluntarily.

>Again, this is standard guidance you’ll find in all of the major religions.

Where does it say in Christianity or Islam that this world is an illusion, that there is one god, that all paths lead to the same god, or that the soul inside you is the very same god you pray to ?

>India was not special.

Spiritually, It is special, in the sense that Hinduism is not a religion but a philosophical way of life, that encourages debate, discussion, logical analysis and introspection. Historically, the only gift for questioning ones religion was a beheading in the case of Christianity and Islam.

Christians roam around the world converting people. Its so annoying. I never understand this obsession of "my god is the only path, your god is false, and if you don't follow my god and don't accept my god, you will go to hell and are not even fit to be considered a human being". Christianity has lost its soul. The history of the church is the history of Christianity and how low it has fallen from the true path of Christ.

I read current gender rhetoric as a necessary counter culture that got adopted too readily - only in the sense that it seems like we should have detached from any sense of discrete categories, and now we have to overcome the current doctrine to get to a more flexible and sometimes healthier place, where the culture can become about this kind of self discovery you mention.
At least thats the arc I would write if this was fiction, maybe this kind of speculation is unhealthy in this forum...
While that is true for writing (who wrote this? Why? How critical is the author?) There is a ton we do know. From literature/art to archeological excavations. Ofcourse, the further you go back, you get more and more filters that make things fuzzy. Lots of things were made of wood for instance, it doesn’t survive on the whole.

Medieval lives in the west were very prone to disturbing forces : invasions, successions of lords/kings, religious clashes, poverty, draughts and deceases. My own ancestors in the 17th/early 18th century died from 6 different deceases and floods and harsh winters. There were “poor hunters” , hunters who kept out the poor from the village. Of 14 children, only one ancestor survived in that time of whom I descent.

Another part of the family in another section of the country lived reasonably well and in peace at least. They were able to marry into better living conditions.

Life in medieval times could be pastoral, but it could just as well be a wretched existence. It depends where you look and in what time.
Transitioning for small children is literally just wearing different clothing.

When they get a bit older, at most they can extremely rarely (due to people pushing against it, even though it reduces suicide rates and saves lives!) get puberty blockers.

Those can then be stopped with minimal consequences if they decide that's not something they wanna do. What is actually cruel is FORCING kids to undergo their AGAB puberty against their will.

We know they are safe, we know they save lives. The vast majority of uses for puberty blockers are still cis children that have early puberty.
What are the aims of the lawsuit? NIST fucked up a FOIA response. The thing you do when a public body gives you an unsatisfactory FOIA response is that you sue them. I've been involved in similar suits. I'd be surprised if NIST doesn't just cough up the documents to make this go away.

"Can NIST's decisions on crystals be overturned by the court?" Let me help you out with that: no, you can't use a FOIA suit to "overturn" a NIST contest.

OpenSSH implemneted NTRU-Prime? What's your point? That we should just do whatever the OpenSSH team decides to do? I almost agree! But then, if that's the case, none of this matters.
I wasn't discrediting the field at all, quite the opposite! A healthy discourse is what keeps the academia in motion, especially for fields adjacent to the humanities. (Although you see this even in the field of 'hard' science like physics or mathematics, where people argue about even the most fundamental things like the validity of renormalization techniques or the usefulness of the law of the excluded middle).

And also, how can you possibly start a conversation about anthropology (or anything generally academic) without bringing any written literature? The worst way for academics to start a conversation with people outside of the field is "We are the authority on this topic, and you are ignorant so you should stop talking". Give us something interesting to ponder about, that's all!

EDIT: Since maybe I'm being a hypocrite by not providing any interesting links/sources myself, I'll have a try. The whole sub-field of developmental anthropology (some Wikipedia links below) seems to have close relations to the current modern concept of poverty (and to a broader extent global neoliberal politics) and is surely interesting. I'm also seeing many criticism towards their approaches from other anthropologists (Arturo Escobar is one prominent example), and taking a close look at this debate seems much more interesting than just claiming "Anthropologists are experts and we should let them just do their research" (which is a dead end to any interesting discussion on HN). And no, don't get started with "These people are fake anthropologists, real anthropologists use carbon dating and 3D scanning all that scientific jazz..." Anthropology has historically been intertwined with politics and ideology from the start, since it doesn't just end with obtaining the facts, but extrapolating and interpreting from the facts to infer what kinds of human societies were there in the past. And it is in that interpretation that all kinds of disagreements come in to play.

So you do agree that there is a chance of medical mistake in diagnosing/prescribing Gender Dysphoria, just like medical mistakes happen with any other condition?

And a lot of these mistakes happen due to social pressure (including pressure from medical professionals who should know better, but didnt't because opposing research is being canceled).

>>Clinicians, partners, friends, and society were named as sources that applied pressure to transition, as seen in the following quotes:
>> - My gender therapist acted like it [transition] was a panacea for everything;
>> - [My] [d]octor pushed drugs and surgery at every visit
>> - I was dating a trans woman and she framed our relationship in a way that was contingent on my being trans
>> - A couple of later trans friends kept insisting that I needed to stop delaying things
>> - [My] best friend told me repeatedly that it [transition] was best for me

I dont deny that there is selection bias in Mrs. Littmann's research. But if I am parent and have only one child, I really dont care about percentage chances, and I simply dont want to play in this dumb lottery of wrongly identifying GD only to reverse it later. If current medical understanding is wrong, something needs to be done to improve medical approach. and current mainstream consensus doesn't help at all
The advertisements are among the most interesting things about old magazines like BYTE, though. They preserve a snapshot of what the computer industry was like back then. Even the pricing information alone is very valuable.

The main concern that I have is the NIST refusal to consider a hybrid design as described in the blog, coupled with the fact that OpenSSH has disregarded NIST and standardized on hybrid NTRU-Prime.

There had to be substance to accomplish this, and it moves all of UNIX plus Microsoft away from crystals. It would seem hugely damaging to crystals as the winner of the latest round.
That has been thoroughly studied and debunked. Just one example of many:

10% reach 60. No numbers above that. They are healthy while alive, but don’t live longer than people from developed nations.

Look, the discussions around bad health effects of meat consumption all resolve around heart disease and cancer. The numbers are pretty irrelevant for people below 60 or so. We are essentially optimizing lifespan and are wondering what causes diseases in old age, like 70+.

It makes zero sense to look at bushmen or ask the paleo fairy, because most of them die earlier than most people in developed nations.

If we talk about health and well-being, yes, the average bushman alive is probably healthier than the average 60 year old westerner, because the sick people died in the bush but not here and because they move around a lot more. It is literally comparing the fittest 10% against a society that includes also the sick-but-still-alive.

Ideally you have someone experienced in the codebase who can give a lay of the land.

I suggest:

1. Find a senior dev, ask then for exisiting pointers to good documentation to self learn.

2. give that a go, make note of all the questions you have

3. then have a session with that dev for platform walk through. Take lots of notes and ask your questions.

4. offer to update docs where you found errata or missing steps or even complete topics not mentioned

5. suggest to the team anything about onboarding that can be improved.
Teenagers choosing for themselves to seek this book out in the adult section is a teensy tiny bit different than it "be[ing] on display for kids", don't you think? Do you just habitually lie to people? Can you simply not help yourself but make things seem worse than they are?
The claim wasn't that it was a common, healthy, or well researched opinion. Just that it exists, unlike what the parent wrote.
Even most people being born richer than him and why happen to have a better relationship with the family wealth don't become billionaires not to speak of the richest person on the planet.

So he definitely has some skills in leading businesses through hard times and making them succeed in the end (I've no idea how or what he does so).

Founding a company doesn't matter as much as making it grow and succeed.

Ray Kroc didn't found McDonald's (he didn't even join early) but he turned it into the massive company it is today, so it doesn't really matters who once initially signed the incorporation form.

Yet this crazy capitalist rent system allows people from anywhere in the world to come rub shoulders with their billionaire neighbors of 1/999,999th the investment and possibly make immense fortunes while changing the world, while both wear sweats.

I am not certain how much credibility this publication deserves.

It's not scientific by nature, it focuses on outdoor activities, which is only a tangent topic, the author has no bio, there is little to no bibliographic references.
> Lest we think these ancient peasants ever actually had it good before the foreigners showed up

They sure as hell had it much worse after the invaders, looters and religious fanatics wreaked havoc in the region for 1000 years.
> Did the library carry any anti-trans books

I disagree with the notion that both sides are equal, deserve equal treatment and a compromise needs to be found. That's almost never the case with social questions.

Take the trans and anti-trans, jews and anti-semites, blacks and KKK-style racists, suffragettes and anti-woman rights people. Both positions are not equal - one desires equal rights and protection, the other goes between harassment and denying the right of existence of a group of people due to their characteristics. Anyone being "neutral" and "both siding" is usually only reinforcing the status quo. And what would a compromise look like here? Kill only some jews/trans people?

Just because the American political system is broken and it has only two sides doesn't mean everything has two equal sides. A flat earther is not a valid side worth listening to, and neither are anti-vaxxers, anti-trans etc activists.
>What are the aims of the lawsuit? Can the NIST decision on crystals be overturned by the court, and is that the goal?

It sounds to me like the goal is to find out if there's any evidence of the NSA adding weaknesses into any of the algorithms. That information would allow people to avoid using those algorithms.
People had a much worse life expectancy back than. Babies frequently died. Treatable illnesses were just death sentences (e.g. type 1 diabetes).

> Modern living in convenient, but not healthy. Is luxurious, but not cheap. Is plentiful, but not sustainable.

You’re very confused if you think the way people lived in India 1000 years ago was sustainable. Packing up the village when a well ran dry should hint at something for you. It was both sparse and unsustainable.

>"But I'm not espousing my values, but values vital to the continuation of life."

There are no self-grounding values. You cannot objectively justify why fertility is the overriding value here, rather than, say, fairness, liberty or anything else. So yes, you are absolutely espousing your values. If you want to make an argument, make it, don't pretend it's self-evident.
It troubles me rather deeply how many people I have talked to about that movie who completely tuned out the whole pervasive advertising subplot. Didn't see it.

I was talking about the ads on every vertical surface in the mall, not long after the movie came out, and someone said, "I guess I didn't notice." This is how democracy dies. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
