Having built a successful web service I know two things: One, there is a long journey from idea to having something ready to test in the marketplace. This sort of site is great for that phase.

Second: Those of us who have been through the roller coaster of entrepreneurship know how "encouraging words from strangers" are often just the tonic you need psychologically to keep going because in the real world the "candid feedback" can often sap your morale.

Love the thing. I'll use it for real.

That is exactly what I said, publicly traded companies cares about growth over profits, while companies that never intends to go public and therefore doesn't benefit from valuations tend to care about profit over growth.

I think markets are generally good, yes. If someone wants to do your job for cheaper and they’re just as good they should get the job. Either way, I don’t think it makes sense to talk about things like this as good or bad, they just are the way the are unless you’re talking about a complete revolution.
It's fantastic that it's now even acceptable to talk about the downsides of our collective responses to Covid, something we can thank those trailblazers for.
I would say they should try listening to workers about what's bothering them but in general there's not enough trust for that to happen honestly. Lots of companies have tried using anonymous surveys but very few trust that they're actually anonymous. They've tried using "independent third parties" but since those companies are paid by the employer, there's very little trust that identities will be protected, which could lead to retaliation. The irony is that there does exist a type of entity that could get to the heart of what's causing so many workers to leave: the union. Of course, the union discussion involves many more issues than just being a place where workers can be honest about their issues with the employer, but if employers want to stop the bleeding of labor, they're going to have to figure out what's really the issue. Not sure how they accomplish that without trust.

I think the article's main point is it's not specifically weight we should be worried about.

> obesity is associated with higher rates of mortality, disease, heart conditions

A diet high in fat/cholesterol/calories can indeed increase your risk of heart conditions and diabetes (and thus mortality). But that's the fat, not the obesity itself.

Cholesterol levels can be measured independently - but some doctors just take the shortcut of saying obesity = unhealthy. This article is asking whether or not that's a mistake.

You are arguing in favor of government propaganda, because that's what will happen in your scenario.
> San Francisco is too weird to exist and is therefore basically irrelevant in national policy discussions.

Not SF, but more people live in LA County than in the ten least popular states. If only we could ignore them and their 20 senators as completely irrelevant when it came to national policy discussions...

For me, I grew up a Taker. I'm not sure if this was a cultural thing (my parents are takers), a regional thing (western NY), or a me-being-an-unaware-dork thing (I was).

But now I find myself surrounded by Givers. I'm not sure if this is a cultural thing (SF tech scene), a regional thing (west coast), or a my-social-circle thing.

So I had to learn to be a giver to make any friends. What's interesting is that my old friends are mostly Takers. I imagine this was a selection bias: givers got bored of talking to me quickly! I get together with some old friends from college once or twice a year and every time it's a bit jarring for the first hour as I have to switch to all-take mode.

Anyway, the point being that I think you can learn to switch, and to blend between the two modes. In fact, I think being able to do so is generally good and helpful.

> IMHO a process which is lossy should never be described as deduplication.

Depends. There are going to be some cases where files aren't literally duplicates, but the duplicates don't add any value -- for example, MOBI conversions of EPUB files, or multiple versions of an EPUB with different publisher-inserted content (like adding a preview of a sequel, or updating an author's bibliography).

I am 43 years old and having been into various kinds of fitness (weight lifting, endurance cycling, etc) I've seen hundreds of supplement fads come and go, and come back. The typical progression is:

* Everyone is excited about X which improves Y

* Studies looking into X find no improvement in Y and/or some people don't notice X improve Y

* People invested in X argue that they are not timing/dosing X properly, or people do not have the right form of X

It usually descends into absurdities where you are supposed to find this rare unicorn brand that has the proper quality (for now, who knows next year!) then dose it at some exact time before bed time, but avoiding calcium or citric acid or something because that would nullify it etc etc.

Supposing the supplement even ever worked, it simply is not practically useful with such constraints. I'm not going to get a PHD in fish oil quality in order to achieve some single digit risk reduction of heart disease.
Who should influence the affairs of a country? Take Russia now as an example. Should western countries stop Russia? Do you think western companies who pulled out of Russia are morally reprehensible because they were attempting to influence with business?
After being an iOS dev for 10 years now, I would gladly deal with the franchise tax board over apple App Store review. Government regulations are set out to the be followed to the letter of the law. App Store guidelines can be tossed aside because a reviewer didn’t like your tone. I’ve had at least two dozen App Store rejections that were magically approved the second I mentioned going to the press about discrimination.
I don’t know why this is being downvoted, it’s completely true.
Google's arrogance here is astonishing. The police say no fault, and it's the subject of an NYT investigation, and they still won't restore the account. What hope do the rest of us have?

I've been an Android user for a long time, but I think this might finally push me to switch to Apple. I'm just disgusted by this.
Chastising givers who resent takers, the author says it's "..easy to forget how lovely it feels when you don’t want the spotlight and a taker lets you recline on the mezzanine while they fill the stage."

As a giver, I'd usually rather not be stuck in the "conversation" (more like, speech) that the taker is dominating.
Judging from this thread, my opinion on this is not going to be popular, please don't massacre me for it, just discuss it with me if you want, I won't be mean (unless you are) but I will be candid.

Good. I'm glad nobody wants to teach anymore. The less teachers we have the better. That's for everyone, including the teachers. A surefire way to get paid more is a shortage of professionals. If you are so important as to be indispensable to society, maybe prove it by withholding your services. If you're so indispensable they'll pay you to get you to come back, and if they don't, fine, they'll find out just how indispensable you are.

Teachers, at least in the US, are in fact glorified babysitters. The amount of stuff a kid in public school learns in 13 years that they actually use could be taught in 5. Public school is subsidized daycare so that the US could double it's labor force. This is not how I want it to be, I want kids to actually learn things, and only go to school to learn and not to be herded. I want overworked teachers to work less, much, much less.

I have no doubt many of them are overworked, treated badly, and go into it at least because they care about children learning. But maybe it's like that because it's the only way an economy and society can justify the expense. Maybe the role they play is not worth as much as they think it is. Maybe they should stop teaching.

I think most teachers have an overinflated sense of their contribution. Ask yourself, if they'll hire anyone off the street, that means anyone off the street wants to teach. That should tell you something about teaching, and if they really wouldn't last a week then don't sweat it, they're no threat to you, they'll be gone in a week.

My big problem with education is not the teachers, it's the giant all encompassing bureaucracy that teachers and students have to constantly navigate. It seems to me like teachers by and large aren't that interested in simplifying that bureaucracy, even though from their complaints it's the largest source of their problems. I wonder why they don't attack it directly? I'm curious why they haven't all quit too. I want most of them to quit.

Put your money where your mouth is. Show us what we all stand to lose without you. Don't tolerate this bullshit anymore. Quit. Find a profession where you're treated better. If you're right, we will beg you to come back. Make us beg. Make us grovel. Show us what it feels like. Rub our faces in it.

I don't think teachers are "essential workers." I think that they don't quit because if they did, we (and they) would find out that we don't actually need them as much as they tell us we do.

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, it wouldn't be the first time. You're wrong until you learn, right? Educate me.
>Not just mediocre pay, but nowadays unlivable pay with the current rent trends in suburban and city environments.

Not just "nowadays." I recall (I've looked around, but can't find it archived) an article from 2000 in the San Jose Mercury News about full-time public school teachers living in homeless shelters because they couldn't afford housing in San Jose.

So, no. Not new. Still a big problem, but not a new one.
Yes, there's a lot better compression available these days, but not everyone has the software installed to unpack them
NASA licensed one $3 copy, but we didn't know why until ~a year later (just a guess how long it was) then found they'd had a team analyzing lots of software options, so by 2003 or so we knew it was for a next-gen telescope.

SE was never "open source" in the standard sense, although almost everyone who licensed it got the source. In the very early nineties I was contact by people to say that what I'd been working on should be "open sourced" in the "free beer" context. I needed money to pay rent, put shoes on the kids' feet, and stuff like that, so didn't understand how to get paid for free software. They said "people will pay you to customize it, or to fix bugs" and I said "it's already ultra-customizable and I don't release software with bugs". I kind of get it now, and if I could talk to my old self I would tell self to open-source at least parts so that there was no reason for anyone NOT to use it. So now I'm working on inventing a time machine to go back and tell myself that and A LOT of more important things, but the time-machine work is going very very slow.
Because don't do manually what you can automate with batteries included.
The problems aren't technology related. No amount of curriculum change will make a parent be able to WFH forever or provide enough attention for their child because they're too busy putting food on their table and working to the only metric that matters above all else for their outcomes: money.

> To drive that point home, a family I know in Washington State had two kids in the school district during that disaster. The school district shifted a tone of responsibility onto parents and kids. The parents were fed up and switched to a for-profit homeschool program. Their kids are still home schooled - they never went back to the school district after COVID ended.

Yea, we get it, some people can afford homeschooling and have time to do it. That doesn't scale nationwide.

Not GP, but I frequently start comments like this if the comment I’m replying to isn’t just slightly off, but reflects a deeply unexamined prior.

Simply reacting to the text of the comment would be insufficient.”

There have to be consequences for actions like that. If there are no consequences, then yes teaching will become impossible.

IMO FPGAs sound like they’d be good with extra flexibility but in practice ASICs are just better. Higher frequency, lower power and there just isn’t a way to make up for the frequency gap. You can quantize and do fancier stuff, but then you need to fine tune or train on your actual inference HW to ensure you’re actually correct. You can emulate your quantization scheme and train on GPUs, but then your GPU training will be slow af. Building a true model specific bitstream for an FPGA that is actually utilizing all of the resources of the FPGA is not simple, and even if you do, overcoming the frequency gap is hard.
This article reads a lot like a fluff piece.
One of the main points of the App Store is for curating quality, and I'm sure there is some positive correlation between quality and persistence, but like any one-size-fits-all policy, it will have failure around the edge cases (persistent spammers and non-persistent but quality software publishers).

Long list to not have a female on... feelsbad. Um - not sure how to change that - it seems like at least partially a general topic of interest thing? Not so many women in the philosophy/tech/economics/world-politics space? Kinda should actively search for that now tbh

Edit: I was downvoted to negatives presumably for saying "ngl some cringe names around here"... referring of course to the much larger collection of Rand and Peterson fans than I expected. I have since acknowledged my mistake, that use of woke terms like "cringe" in this neutral-thought safe-space is itself clearly a far greater crime and thus my post should be cancelled, and there is no irony in that or inherent political bias embedded in the platform by maintaining such neutrality as sacrosanct above passive-aggressive behavior like mine
Any specifics?

What ideas from Rand, Musk and Thiel in particular?

Bach has interesting ideas - I enjoy listening to him.
This looks quite cool! I'm not sure though why I would use this over the original jq. However, I can definitely see the value in embedding this into my own applications, to provide jq scripting inside of them.

Shameless plug: As I'm not a fan of the jq syntax, I've created jql[0] as an alternative to it. It's also written in Go and presents a lispy continuation-based query language (it sounds much scarier than it really is!). This way it has much less special syntax than jq and is - at least to me - much easier to compose for common day-to-day JSON manipulation (which is the use case it has been created for; there are definitely many features of jq that aren't covered by it).

It might seem dead, as it hasn't seen any commit in ages, but to me it's just finished, I still use it regularly instead of jq on my local dev machine. Check it out if you're not a fan of the jq syntax.

>I doubt that DMARC/DKIM/SPF are actually deployed as widely as OP thinks, and excluding users based on some (to them) obscure/unknown feature of their email provider is bound to generate frustration.

We're at about 30% with DMARC and SPF being deployed in about 65% of email servers. That said, a lot of the really big ones (google, MS, etc...) are in the 30% so are a lot of control panel hosts. Where the slow uptake is, as always is corporate IT departments. Doing the whole DMARC/DKIM/SPF dance isn't hard to do and really puts the clamps on spoofing.
> That’s making a lot of assumptions, imagine the CEO of IBM set up his own company which he the sold to IBM. That kind of transaction is just ripe for conflicts of interest.

It is not just the protein that is a limiting factor in meat production. Especially not for grazing animals. And 20x less seems like a very high estimate compared to the current protein king, the soybean.

What I am saying is: a.sustainable protein will make the largest impact in chicken, but very little impact for the kind of feed and land use we are discussing. Vall and slåtter (I have no idea about the English terms) are almost exclusively used as feed for grazing animals.

And even with chickens I must ask: Is SCP competitive with insects? I have been betting on insects becoming the next big thing in animal feed for some time. 20x less land use per gram of protein compared to soy is no problem for something like the black soldier fly larvae. They are well above 50x.
Sex is one way to express intimacy, which can be a sign of, but is not the same thing as love. Quite trivially observable in any loving relationship between people who can't physically have sex because say a partner is disabled. Or just between couples who have been married for 50 years. Probably not as active in the bedroom compared to their 20s, but not less in love (probably the opposite).

Conflating sex and physical attraction with love is a very modern phenomenon, and I think may have something to do with the instability of relationships.
The supply side limit is purely because the government chooses not to train sufficient staff. We have a government imposed cap to train 7500 doctors per year at University. Then when they finish, they do two years at FY1 and FY2 level, but there are not then sufficient places for all doctors to go onto a training programme. A friend of mine is applying for the January intake of anaesthetics this year for e.g. and there are something like 25 places in the entirety of the UK for that specialty. So people end up working as locums, working to fill gaps in rotas, which has a high hourly rate. Then, when they do finally manage to get a training place, they take a big pay cut and work more hours. That’s if we’re lucky - because plenty of them just go to Australia where the standard working week for a Dr is 40 hours, and many of them don’t bother coming back. But this is a problem created entirely by the government’s choices.

We also have a hugely archaic system in the Royal Colleges. In no other profession do we expect people to sit regularly very expensive professional exams, and expect the staff to fund them out of their own salary rather than them being funded by their employer. £600 a go is not unheard of.
You said in a sibling comment that denormalized analytics tables are a hack, but I don't see how this is any less of a hack. It's literally the same technique, except now you're adding substantial operational complexity with a whole extra database server (versus just extra tables in the same database). And it does not at all solve the problem of needing to figure out which fields to denormalize and which ones to leave in separate documents/collections.

And even if you do decide that it makes sense to split your analytics data into a separate database system entirely, document-oriented databases "ain't it".

I have very little experience with Elasticsearch, although I'm surprised to hear it being recommended for anything other than full text search. GP was talking about spreadsheet-style filtering, not full-text search.

But I do have a good amount of hands-on experience in production with Mongo, and I can say for sure that it is absolutely not a good option for an analytics database, and that I would much rather deal with traditional joins and filters. Even using it as a primary "application database" for a web app was a constant headache from beginning to end. I never thought I would miss MySQL so much, and I would never consider using Mongo again unless I had the very specific use case of storing a high volume of semi-structured data with no consistent schema, and even then I would convert the data to a more traditional tabular/relational format for use in a data warehouse if the business analysts or data scientists needed to work with it.
It's not like they don't already have that power, they can just force you to use an Android phone for work.
