Ask HN: Does food evoke memory, or do you just think it does
I was just reading something about the movie Ratatouille and how food evokes memory, and I sort of had a knee jerk what a load of hooey moment, because frankly even back when I had a phenomenal memory food has never done anything to evoke it the way it is represented in that movie and really all popular culture, as in tasting something or smelling something and suddenly you are wafted back to your youth and your mother's kitchen etc.

This idea of course is probably related to Proust and À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past) and its early scene of memory being sparked by a Madeleine. So I think the idea is pretty wide spread among people that food and smell works this way with memory, but does it really or do people just believe it does without really experiencing it?

For what it's worth the closest I've ever gotten with this is eating Camembert, sometimes when I have Camembert I think of the first times I had it in a small cafe in the black forest in Germany, but I don't have this memory from the taste, I have it because I look at the Camembert and I think that time, the taste does nothing for my memory (although perhaps if I tasted it blindfolded, I might think that is camembert I remember the first time I had that in Germany)

> So however one might eventually write down a relativistic MOND theory, it must be possible to re-write it into a modification of the Einstein Field Equations for use in the solar system and in systems like Hulse-Taylor or triple-pulsar J0337+1715.

This is the contention I have with the "fine-tune" argument against DM: there's still tuning needed from the MOND side to both make it a predictable tool across the universe and also ensure it still acts like EFE at home. Everybody's tuning/tweaking because no one has anything novel.

To bring in an interesting analogy: it's almost like the debate over functional and OO programming paradigms. MOND seeks to tune the "function" or theory to better fit all observations. DM seeks to tune the "objects" or observations to better fit the theory.

Also just that the interpolation and curve fitting algorithms on scopes are often utter garbage.

We tested the 5 Series predecessor to your 6 Series and I was amazed to see 10 or so volts on a 3.3V logic signal... until I remembered to check the interpolation setting. There was, in fact, no measurement above 3.3V (ok, within the usual tolerances) but the dumb shit machine had made things up and displayed them as if they were real. Even though they would have meant there was a serious hardware fault (not impossible, it was a new design going through bringup and there were in fact higher voltages on the board!), nope, it was the fault finding tool that was faulty.

I've had zero interest in the 5 Series since that demo week. Terrifying machine. (And it was supposed to have been "debugged" by that time.)

This next generation is finally fulfilling the promise of the Internet in my opinion. Every book, article, research paper and millions of high quality instructional videos, lectures and courses are there for the taking. And the Zoomers really are using all that information. It's like water to fish - it's all around them.

I've personally seen my son and his friends get into and then become proficient in a bunch of different topics, like motorcycle maintenance, programming games, film and video editing, drone racing/building, music and a ton of other real-world useful skills, all without a mentor being involved. I've personally learned more about a bunch of different topics I never had a handle on before, like physics and math, where my education was stuck at an 11th grade level until the past few years.

Compared to my teen years, the difference is breathtaking. I think the result will be a better society and a bunch of people doing what they really love for a living.
I loved Hidden Figures, but even more so I loved hearing stories of little girls who saw it and spent the next few days playing "Scientist". Showing history inspires the future.

https://www.crfb.org/blogs/primer-understanding-tax-gap

The IRS estimates there's a net tax gap of $554 billion in 2019. They break it down into 5 categories with values from 2011-2013 that all are over 20 billion each: underreported income, over/misreported adjustments, underpayment, non-filing, and other underreporting. They note that their 2011-2013 estimate failed to include underreporting of offshore wealth and wealth going through pass through entities, which resulted in a tax gap of $33 billion per year to the 2011-2013 estimate and 46 billion for 2019.
Last time I tried to use it, "GNOME Settings" (or whatever it was calling then) was woefully incomplete and I had to figure out that dconf-editor existed (which wasn't in the menus.)

Same problem with Firefox; hamburger->settings will take you to a GUI that contains maybe 0.01% of all the settings Firefox actually has. You have to be "in the know" to know that about:config exists. I think the first time most firefox users find out about about:config is when they're angrily searching the web for a solution to their problems, which is basically how I discovered dconf-editor too. You don't find either of these by searching through the GUIs like a normal computer user, nor will you find them by poking around in your dotfiles like a seasoned console jockey.
Whatever works for you, but it's not really a fair characterization. It adds one problem and solves another dozen, at least in my case. And I don't really run into these difficult to diagnose issues too often.

It's like driving a car instead of walking is trading one problem for two.

I'm to blame actually, it does a lot more than config management, so I mischaracterized it myself.

https://www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-members-news/irs-budg...

> IRS Research Division estimates in the 2003 GAO report, however, placed returns for activities such as tax enforcement at more than ten – and in some cases more than 20 – dollars collected for every dollar spent. Phone calls to follow up on tax debts owed were estimated to return 13 dollars for every dollar spent. Audits by mail returned as much as 11 dollars for every dollar spent. Using the overall rate of a four to one return, this year’s $100 million budget cut translates to a $400 million loss.

Imagine 20 dollars per dollar spent, that's the type of unicorn investment that basically every VC hunts for.
> 2 points establishes local linearity, not global linearity. f(x) = x^2 looks linear if you take any 2 arbitrary xs, add a third and you can no longer draw one line that intersects all 3 points.

Yes, certainly. And 3 points can show you a pattern that looks quadratic but isn't, and so on. More to the point, 3 points can rule out a claim of linearity, but they also cannot demonstrate a claim of linearity (e.g., you can usually find 3 collinear points on the graph of a cubic). My point was not to make a mathematical claim myself, but rather to argue that the claim "the minimum number of elements necessary for a pattern is three" is so vague to, I think, be nearly meaningless—and, in particular, unfalsifiable; in my mind, it doesn't deserve the adverb "mathematically".

Purely spitballing here.

I could accept women being unhappier in marriage than single, but I'm skeptical on the outcome being different for men than women without there being a very simple way for society to solve it.

The number one complaint I hear among women not wanting to get married / being picky is the potential future of requiring both a 0.6+FTE job and doing 30+ hours of housekeeping. That complaint is near universal among the developed world. Yet, there are plenty of men willing to share household duties, which in turn makes their number of hours spent "working" higher than before. Exactly the same situation as women. Yet somehow, the study would conclude something surpasses that for men to make them happier in marriage than women, while other studies tend to claim women are the ones who actively seek and value comfort and companionship more than men. That's not to mention child count going down and children used to be one of the biggest time / responsibility sinks.

All of that sounds rather fishy. It's not like men don't have their fair share of things to work through in a modern marriage, and bad picks can be, well, not picked. Especially today, with those traditional norms being removed.
The expansion to the IRS will directly alleviate the injustice implied by the headline. But your headline focused on the problem, not the solution which is already underway, so it just seems like misinformation and outrage bait.
Given the total collected is over 4 trillion it's not hard to imagine other categories worth far more than 20 billion.
The reason is they can “audit” the EITC by sending some letters and doing some very simple validation. Auditing millionares is much harder to automate.

So even if they spend very little time or money on dealing with the EITC they end up doing a lot more audits.

There's a very easy way to make a revenue-neutral simplification to tax codes. Every refund, subsidy, credit, or whatever is universal without regard to income of the recipient. They are all taxable, and the progressive nature of the income tax ensures that the people to whom the benefit was targeted get the most benefit and the wealthy people who need it the least get the least net benefits. This solves a huge number of problems: tax code too complex, weird incentives near the edges of income phaseouts (i.e. rent subsidy recipients who are disincentivized to earn more), gets rid of massive bureaucracies dedicated to checking eligibility, etc.

1) we have tested with GrapheneOS and it does work. Relay works well with GrapheneOS. With some amount of configuration, the mobile plans also work, though it can be a bit tricky to set up.

2) We have many egresses (via Fastly) -- across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia -- and more planned. The London egress is used when you're on mobile data by default, but if you're on WiFi then you can egress elsewhere.

3) Not sure about that at the moment, but we've gotten the request from multiple folks.

I'm not scientific about it (n=1, after all), but I've realized from my own diagnosis and coming out of it that depression is a complex abstraction:

1. Reactionary primary emotion (e.g., shock, surprise, confusion)

2. Add the perception of injustice to create the secondary emotion of anger

3. Have anger directed toward meeting an unmet need

4. Give hopelessness about attaining that unmet need

5. END IF nothing gives that hope to meet that need that the anger was directed toward

So first off, you could follow SOLID design principles and just use json objects in your Redux api methods and develop around mock data way before you ever send an api call.

Sometimes though, you just can’t replace having a real api with mock data. For that, we have our own sandbox environment that is a clone of our production stack. All the app data in our sandbox is generated by a library called Faker.
> I used to go see Carlin perform every August in Vegas. He was almost always working on new stuff and carrying a clipboard around with various jokes. It was really interesting to then watch his specials and see how the material developed.

Even in his darker period he was still a crafty orator, using rhyming, cadence and tonality so well.

He discusses this in many interviews over the years and many which were shown in is documentary. What's even crazier to think is that he was kind of a recluse and an introverted person, which is insane considering how much of a wildman he was for most of his career.

You're right, if users disregard the difference in energy consumption there is little reason for them to choose the PoS chain over the PoW one.
For devs and businesses the PoS one seems to matter though, I think it is likely the activity and innovation will be there in the end.

Also a user would have to make an effort to keep using the PoW one AFAIK.
Maybe if IBM had not rebooted their Smalltalk business into Java, Smalltalk would have been kept more relevant than it is nowadays.

For the younger generations, the whole set of Visual Age IDEs were written in Smalltalk, SOM (the OS/2 COM like OOP ABI) had support for C, C++ and Smalltalk, making Smalltalk the kind of OS/2's .NET.

Then Visual Age became Eclipse, and the Smalltalk business pivoted into Java.

It entirely depends on what memories you associate with the foods in the first place. For instance, most food doesn't evoke any memories for me, but I can't even look at a black-and-white cookie without remembering the time one gave me food poisoning and the pain of that experience.
These are all good & fair points. I think in this case "but trying to prevent the discussion from happening does suggest that you benefit from the status quo." would also apply equally to someone trying to silence any dissent or criticism of the ideas they themselves were putting forwards. Either a fair and open discussion needs to happen about these things or they shouldn't be part of a workplace at all. And any standards that are created need to be applied universally too -- you can't just label some as protected groups and tell everyone else to go fuck themselves if they're experiencing a problem, which is basically how things work today.

And that's where my complaint about silencing this topic at Google stems from. If others have been able to do it and get special privileges for themselves than preventing further discussion along these lines only further cements those advantages and the disadvantage of others. It either needs to be eliminated entirely or allowed to continue to evolve.
