Historically, Inuit life expectancy was shorter than other populations [1]. Are we looking at what people have done or do today? Should we look at the diet of the people who live the longest and have the best health as long as possible? I'm for looking at the diets that produce the best health the longest and best vitality as we age. The Inuit people on an animal diet are not a good example of this.

There's currently more than 3,000 satellites in the constellation. Killing scores or even hundreds isn't enough. The only known EMP weapons that could really impact the constellation is nuclear, and at that point, knocking out Starlink is the least of our worries.
It's simple in that if you are already using an s3 compatible object store you don't have to worry about setting up a separate redundant, durable, highly available, and possibly scalable storage system for your logs. And as for the implementation of this or Loki, it means they can delegate most of the complexity of data storage to a separate object store.
The map is technically 4 million square kilometers but in design/narrative terms, it's planet-sized.

The character is not supposed to die, they're supposed to be evil. The point of the game is that winning the game is evil. It's not saying humans on earth are evil, it's suggesting that maybe they are, or maybe we're the bugs, or maybe some of us are the bugs and some of us are the engineer. We also don't know the intelligence level of the bugs. They're smart enough to coordinate attacks, pathfind, target polluting and military buildings, and sense pollution, but it's purposely ambiguous.
That title is a phrase I'd only expect to hear in a scifi movie. The future is now.
I used to know a HS Maths teacher whose approach to testing was similarly brutal. Essentially, in his view, if a student is able to answer every question on an exam correctly, then we haven't fully assessed the depths of their understanding. So every exam was crafted with the express aim of 100% being infeasible.

Sucrose is mostly not processed like fructose. Fructose is processed in the liver, sucrose mostly by the regular digestion tract, with a little bit in the liver. You should do more reading, it's pretty fascinating.
Not only that, haven't studies shown that boys should be educated with boys with predominantly male teachers? It's almost like people had it right the first go around.
The idea is nice, but it seems heavily reliant on GitHub:

> Owners of open source projects can claim their repositories by installing the StackAid GitHub app. As part of the claiming process, owners can associate one or more Stripe accounts with each repository they own to receive payments.

While I'll admit that most of the modern ecosystem thrives on this site, especially when looking at the javascript ecosystem, there's a fair amount of projects that do not use this site at all. Are there any plans to tackle those?

Also, the simulation[1] shows projects by meta and microsoft near the top. Since these are well-funded projects ran by huge companies, I'd be interested in excluding them from a donation graph, no matter what point in the tree they appear in. Is there any possibility of doing this?

Hmm, I'm not familiar enough with jet engines to say whether that is expected or not. 15% doesn't sound like a huge improvement, I agree.

But I'll note the F130 is a medium bypass business jet engine producing 'only' around 75kN. 8 of those is about 600kN, which could be achieved with two of those newest generation civilian high bypass turbofans used e.g. in the B787 or A350. I suspect the motivation was to choose a new engine that is as similar to the existing one in order to minimize work needed to install them on the plane. There being AFAIU less than 100 B52's in service, I guess minimizing engineering cost has better payoff than minimizing fuel consumption with a high bypass engine.
> And there was no way to find out who accessed what. This is not normal, it's a huge red flag

One can argue that it shouldn't be normal, but I assure you that it is extremely normal in most companies. Shared root credentials, no audit logs, or audit logs that you have to grep on individual hosts - these are VERY VERY normal across business.

Everything I wished for and pushed for back in the day has come true -- monkey paw curse and all. Bitcoin's use has actually gone down afaict, the market value of it is the only metric people care about.

Very very well put. Bitcoin’s use as measured by total transactions has gone down. However, the total amount of cryptocurrency transactions across all chains is still growing exponentially.
Forgive my ignorance but I don't understand why it's an unimaginably difficult task. The satellites are operating in a vacuum with no weather interference or anything and have line of sight to each other. I would think that it should actually be easy to pull off, and actually should get easier at scale since the distances between individual satellites would shrink and would be easier to align the laser links.
I knew Discord would eventually try to become a forum. Every new communications paradigm tries to become all things to all people. Sadly, Discord will never be as good a forum as vbulletin/xenforo or even phpbb, and it'll lose some of it's focus elsewhere attempting to do so.

>If keto was bad then the Inuit (Eskimos) as a people would not exist.

What you're saying might be true if keto being bad meant near immediate death. It does not.
Practical reasons?

The government would restrict or ban import or sale of the hardware. They'd make them illegal and use possession of one as a reason to throw the owner in jail.
I think you didn't get the point.

Data structure choices are dictated by requirements. The type system doesn't demand pointers. When the type system accurately represents relationships, there is no need for users of a data structure to be careful to obey rules. Operations that compile at all are correct by construction. (Anything-oriented design is code smell.)

Any "fragmentation issue" is off-topic: if something is an "issue", you do something differently so it isn't anymore.
I love how "Hacker"News threads has evolved to the point of actively discouraging people from hacking.

> To us programmers language and code and free speech sure seem like all the same thing, but as you zoom out it stops being language and it starts being technology.

Excellent observation. You could claim a gun is just a metal sculpture and therefore protected by free speech, but that's not going to fly because it's an unreasonably expansive interpretation.

There are a lot of pretty bizarre ideas tech people often have, because they're too focused on tech and too immersed in the tech subculture to see their blindspots. IMHO, it's pretty useful (especially as a tech person) to start with the assumption that any "techie" idea or attitude that intersects with any non-tech thing is majorly flawed (e.g. using "technical system" mental tools where they're inappropriate, a tendency towards oversimplification or over-consistency, engineer's syndrome and other kinds of ignorant arrogance, etc.).
My personal opinion is that this is an American problem and only Americans should discuss about this. The same way I am opposed to Russian electoral interference in 2016, in the same way I'd rather not have other non-Americans discuss about this topic UNLESS they have actual authentic experiences with these issues. It's the same way I won't comment about Antiziganism in Romania, Hungary, Czechia, Serbia, etc because I simply don't have the relevant context or authentic background to make an informed statement beyond the generic platititude of "Don't discriminate".
"Fats" don't flow in, lipoproteins do at high blood pressure parts.

It has nothing to do with saturated fats being pushed in.

It's more likely that foods high in saturated fats cause inflammation of the blood vessels.

But there is no difference between saturated and unsaturated fats since they are all transported in lipoproteins once they are in the blood.

The issue is inflamation, not the actual lipoprotein cargo (fat, cholesterol,..) that gets pushed in.

The real question is what causes the blood vessels to get damaged.

If these companies see the fines just as cost of doing business, then the fines need to rise to the point where they make the business unattractive.
Is Discord the "federated social media" that everyone has been looking for?

> Or do they just throw down several lines until they find the 1:1:3:1:1 ratio?

Essentially yes. If you are aware of how one-dimensional barcodes are read, it's the same. You would need to check multiple scanlines, but you don't need the full image analysis. It might be the case that modern QR decoders actually look at the full image, but this is hardly necessary.
Yeah. We use that address space too and currently we take up the whole /10. Some of us are like, "heck ya, all your ips belong to us" and some of us are like "hey, that's a lot of ips, how about we use a /16 instead" (for example)

So I'm trying to find all the current allocations out there. If there's such a list. Maybe I should make the list? :)

Why are you staring this out?

Isn't it bizarre to self censor your words in this way? Being overly sensitive to causing offence isn't healthy.
With the financial situation being how it is I, paradoxically, would currently consider donating to Wikipedia to be actively harmful to the future of Wikipedia. The larger its dragon hoard of money grows (which is already way beyond any sort of costs to keep up Wikipedia for decades), the larger the incentive for unscrupulous individuals to corrupt the Wikipedia mission to tap into this money for personal benefit. I can't help but conclude that if you love Wikipedia and what it does... don't give them any more money for the time being.
I think a laser mounted on one of their satellites could get the job done. Their militaries may even have that already.
Absolutely. We'd like to support GitLab and Bitbucket next but had to pick a starting point and GitHub was an obvious choice. If there are other providers you think we should pursue, let me know.

I find keto diet is much more satiating than low fat or "zone" type diets. I lost 80lbs this way and kept it off by doing a moderate version of it 1 meal a day of "zone" type mix and other two keto style. Obviously I eat whatever I want some days, but 90% of the time I'm good about it. My goal was always to be satiated and not to be in ketosis however. I have kept the weight for ~7 years now.

How do you find new music these days like Nirvana, GNR, Metallica, or Kula Shaker? I use YT, Amazon Music, and Spotify.

AirBnB and DoorDash are Internet companies, just like Twitter. I wouldn't even consider Twitter "a major player in the tech market." Apple, Amazon, Google, Dell, Microsoft, IBM, Tesla, Nvidia, Samsung etc., are tech companies, but not Twitter or Netflix. What technology is Twitter secretly working on?
I had a very similar experience. Much smaller scale, but the service was keeping internal state and clients were connecting with a WebSocket. It could handle up to a million clients on one server and it practically never crashed. While I was writing it I had only hobby-level experience with Rust and I was also mentoring a colleague, so he wrote a big chunk of code as a total Rust noob.
Bruce Schneier put it quite succinctly in his article The Eternal Value of Privacy (from 2006):

Some clever answers: “If I'm not doing anything wrong, then you have no cause to watch me.” “Because the government gets to define what's wrong, and they keep changing the definition.” “Because you might do something wrong with my information.” My problem with quips like these – as right as they are – is that they accept the premise that privacy is about hiding a wrong. It's not.

Yeah, I saw that when you hover, it shows you an estimate of when it'll be available. But saying that it's available in X weeks/months/years in Africa directly conflicts with the tweet saying "Starlink is now on all seven continents" when it's not available in Africa or Asia right now.
I think those little things are a part of Google DNA from the early days and actually have a huge impact on the brand perception.

I am pretty sure easter eggs were a significant part of what made Google a cool company 10-15 years ago to my young eyes. The answer to life, the hidden games in Android, the raptor game in Chrome. At the time, it was rare for public company to do those silly things.
In terms of building a community to share and discuss information, would Reddit serve the same purpose as this, and if so would it be better or worse?

You mixed many words + potato has practicaly 0 fructose compared to an apple.
They have directed energy weapons that could probably destroy individual satellites one at a time faster than they could be launched.
They probably got it from Snow Crash. The oldest surviving globes of the known world date back to 1492 according to Wikipedia and the Greeks probably created their own variations a few millennia ago.

Discord has a low barrier to entry and continued use.

With a single account, I can join a dozen communities and easily stay up to date with them, and get an instant notification on my phone or desktop when someone answers a question I asked in any of them.

To do the same with a dozen phpbb communities, I need to create a dozen accounts and track each site individually.
I was involved in migration of about 500k locs of Perl code to PHP.

First we tried to rewrite (refactor) project to make code clearer, but it becomes just copy-paste, without real rewriting.

So have chosen to migrate to PHP, which was mature enough at that time (PHP 5 already appears, but chosen 4), and in about year, testers said, it work.

This is ERP like platform, on LAMP stack, and fortunately, used Perl 3 practices and very old framework, so performance mostly depends on database speed.

Most important where to make complete enough test suite (mostly used tests just from Perl version), and than just do classic loop write-test-fix...
A lot of people in here pointing to fructose though as a primary driver of problems, not saturated fat. Unlike glucose which can be used almost everywhere in the body, excess fructose has to be processed in the liver. In a caloric excess (which can be further exasperated by consumption of additional saturated fat), it's going to be converted to fat in the liver. More on that topic: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4838515/
I don't understand this criticism. Sundar has technical background and great product vision. How many other people have been involved in so successful projects that define the industry like Chrome and Android?

Indeed, Google has hired a lot of people with business background lately to operate large parts of it's business. We should, though, acknowledge that Google operates in many now mature markets where innovation plays secondary role to focusing on existing customer needs.

Ok, the more I try to understand this, the more confused I get. Probably just scrap everything I said, I'll need to do some more reading.
The problem with these studies is that:
1) They mix in infant mortality rates.
2) Many of these "native peoples" are poorer and have less access to healthcare compared to others.

So in general it's very hard to get good data on life expectancy on these fringe groups.
What, exactly, is unrealistic about lasers?
I totally agree - I find myself missing the Google discussions filter (if you remember what that was?) very often. It would let you search only across forums, message boards, and other places where actual discussions where taking place (as opposed to SEO and blog spam).

I actually built a small tool for myself to try and replicate this. It searches across a few discords, a curated index of forums and message boards, and a little bit of Twitter (while applying some advance parameters to filter out the marketing spam). Works pretty well!

>Sure but pointing out $350k executive salaries as somehow lavish is strange.

It's not, really. It's about how you frame things, and the follow-up tweets touch on that:

>You wouldn't think so from the fundraising emails currently being sent out, telling people to donate "to keep Wikipedia online", saying it's "awkward to ask", etc. A recent poll of Wikipedia volunteers condemned these emails as unethical and misleading

>If people want to throw money into a bottomless pit, fine; but let's not pretend that the money is needed "to keep Wikipedia online".

>And that story is not the story told to prospective donors. Wikipedia and its unpaid volunteers – the people who actually write and curate Wikipedia – deserve better.
(a) How many people do you think are actually capable of using such a feature?

(b) How many of them would do it a second time, after realizing how badly their matching algorithm failed the first time?

Back in the late 90s it was definitely a thing. I'd argue that part of what diminished it then was the permatemp lawsuits over who was an employee vs contractor. Many BigTech companies swung away from working with independent contractors for a period of time.
