Curious if anyone here had additional context around this. Do calf raises have a similar effect? Do people with a habit of bouncing their calves while seated (essentially a soleus pushup as described in the article) have higher metabolisms on average?

It makes sense that a part of a calf muscle could have exceptional endurance, given the importance of walking in humans, but the article seems to say walking doesn't use it enough to activate the same effect. Maybe running?

The article makes some big claims and it would be interesting to see an independent review.

Yes, so you're talking about network effect momentum.

In 20 years Java will not be the default choice for the vast majority of projects, just as C isn't now, despite being so in the 80s... it's obvious from the verbosity of the language. Network effect will fade over time.

Kotlin is already a drop in replacement for Java that is less verbose, more ergonomic and still compatible with the existing ecosystem. Why would anyone use Java over Kotlin on a greenfield project aside from prior familiarity? They wouldn't

Here's why the the two linked cases were dismissed:

> "[The plaintiff] has not plausibly pleaded that any action by President
Biden or Surgeon General Murthy was causally related to Facebook and Twitter’s decisions to enforce their misinformation policies against [him]"

Summarizing that as the courts finding that "the Biden administration was ordering social media companies to censor certain posts" is not even misleading, it's just false. And it's not particularly relevant to the actual subject of the article, which is the Missouri v Biden case brought by the three people named in the first sentence.
I was also part of it. I did my own share of - well if we design it this way then we can have a second "type" that does X with the same interface. And it just keeps on iterating like that. It's still a useful pattern, but often at least in my own case, overused for really trivial stuff.

Programmers are highly trained like to see the world as if everything can be cast the same way. While that IS a good way to see a large variety of software problems, when you isolate down to a companies' use cases, it quickly goes away in the pragmatic sense. It then becomes something the company is paying for because they chose Java and Java developers like that sort of thing.

Yet another 'digital container' of disparate information to house your data and make it difficult for someone find it across an organisation.

As someone who was working in a scale up I found that we had information spread across coda, wiki, markdown, tickets, collaborative whiteboards (Miro), git issues, google docs, coda, (insert random lastest cool SaaS that someone stumbled across one night and used the company card to sign up), local spreadsheets and docs.

Every individual, every team, had their own place for stuff and it was a nightmare trying to find things, let alone the security nightmare of understanding which data was where and what sensitivity it was.

It just seems like it's not the tool itself, it's more there are actually too many options out there

“We never dreamed that this muscle has this type of capacity. It's been inside our bodies all along, but no one ever investigated how to use it to optimize our health, until now,” said Hamilton. “When activated correctly, the soleus muscle can raise local oxidative metabolism to high levels for hours, not just minutes, and does so by using a different fuel mixture.”

I'm can't evaluate the claims, but this kind of language makes me suspicious. Is this some whole new phenomenon or are there existing, known effects that this somehow parallels?
> I don't either. I shake my head when I read people making the rebuttal that it's not the government censoring you so it's kosher.

The typical rebuttal that I hear is not that it’s kosher, but that it doesn’t have anything to do with the first amendment.

Choices are:

- government tells social media what to do (controversial)

- government doesn’t tell social media what to do (controversial)

People can be upset forever, but it’s a stalemate that will never get resolved in this political climate. Not coincidentally, a lot of money is made on unresolved problems.

"Law and order" is not a reference to having laws and order, it's a reference to this concept:

Well, Imagine your government (the EU is not far off of being one) is now handling everything in spanish, even though your country speaks english and english is your official language. Lets be generous and there are only about 10% of people not speaking spanish. Is it really ok that there are official documents, meeting notes, publications, advertisements,web sites, videos etc in spanish and only the most important ones get translated to your language?

For companies this would completely fine. For a government this is not.

Apart from that, there is right now a huge source of text that is publicly available and already translated into the same X languages, with a huge quality to boost. People have teached ML translators with that text source. Ofc this is just a side effect but these translations have made other translations and communication in the EU a bit more simple just by being such a big reference.
Bosch segments its own market into the "green" and "blue" parts, the latter being for professional use. They're very well-made and costly, on-par and competitive with the other brands you mentioned. But of course they are not in this Power4All alliance thing and are incompatible with the "green" consumer stuff.

And let's not talk about the Sacklers
No one has yet mentioned the tax-advantaged aspect. Interest income from I-bonds is exempt from state income tax, and federal tax can be deferred until you cash them in or 30 years, whichever comes first. Paying tax on the interest when you are in a lower tax bracket later in life makes a lot of sense. The income can also be tax-free if used for qualified educational expenses for you or some family members (not going into the details here).

It seems to me the only competition here is bank CD (certificate of deposit) for 1 to 5 year term, which also has an early withdrawal penalty but is not tax advantaged in any way, and even now, you'd be hard pressed to get more than 2-3% interest on CDs from most banks, and that rate usually does not adjust at all during the life of the CD.

As some have mentioned, this is also a pretty good place to keep emergency funds, once you get past the one year lockup.

The Cureus paper you linked had serious methodological flaws. As well as being neither randomised nor controlled, it neglected to mention or control for the fact that patients were advised to stop taking Ivermectin if they tested positive: https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/study-claiming-iverme...

Seeing recent articles about Ivermectin on DS made me suspicious because it's such an odd and distinctive right-wing talking point. It's now been found in repeated meta-analyses that its ineffective. Studies showing a significant effect all had serious flaws like the above. Yet if you search for it in the Daily Sceptic you only find four articles which cherry-pick the data. You'd think a website which genuinely cares about scientific truth wouldn't have that sort of confirmation bias.

I spent some time today reading more about the website and it turns out it's effectively a mouthpiece for right-wing agitator Toby Young. IMO he exploited the lockdowns as an easy way to curry popularity. From day one he's been on a crusade to downplay the pandemic. The Daily Telegraph had to issue a correction to an article he wrote which misrepresented the stats. On Newsnight he admitted he was wrong to claim that there was no second peak. He even went and deleted all of the tweets he made in 2020, presumably because they painted his predictions in a pretty poor light.

I agree that government agencies behaved in a way that eroded trust, but in my eyes Toby Young knowingly committed the much graver sin of exploiting and aggravating the situation for personal gain. He's done far more to harm the public than either the US or UK governments, and I'm grateful that his opinions are relegated to the back waters of the internet.
Most people storing time-series are also doing that outside of TimescaleDB.

So I have no doubt Google threw their weight around in the Android space. It's known that they impose conditions for access to the Google suite of apps. But I have a thought that I have a hard time reconciling.

Imagine Google had gone the Apple route of vertically integrating handset production, distribution and sale in the same way Apple did. If they had, there would be no antitrust issue, just like there isn't with Apple.

That seems weird.

How is having third-party manufacturers (well, really it's just Samsung now) create more antitrust issues than the Apple model? That just doesn't seem right.

Belgium's penal code has multiple definitions of rape including non-consensual acts of a sexual nature. Non-penetrative sex acts can be considered rape in both Sweden and Belgium. I ask again, how are Sweden's laws broader than Belgium.

You claim Sweden's rape laws are broader and that's why Sweden has a higher rape rate - but you can't point out how Sweden's laws are broader or quantify the extent to which the difference in definition contributes to the difference in rape rate. You are making claims that you don't even attempt to defend.

You write, sneeringly, that my evidence is Ctrl+f of a Google translation. A better way to phrase this is, when I consider the claim that Sweden has a more expansive definition of rape than Belgium, I look at Sweden's laws and then I look at Belgium's and don't see the difference. By contrast, you repeat the talking points of the Swedish government as they explain to you why they aren't responsible for their poor performance.

Finally, I've repeatedly acknowledged that comparing statistics is complex. As I wrote previously my comparison of reported rates - that has the advantage of being simple and objective (we can tell if it's true or false). Your method is to say "well, maybe different countries count differently, and maybe Sweden really trusts their police and other Europeans don't, and maybe the laws are different, and..." Yeah, maybe - but you don't have any examples or evidence of any of that and you don't even try to find it. Maybe all of that stuff is true and Sweden is even worse than it appears!
Also, they can charge more if it’s harder (usually), as long as it’s obvious to other contractors it would be hard too.

If the low bidder gave that bid because they didn’t notice, then also lulz - tends to weed out the problem children. Really painful for the customer and said contractor though.
Reddit CEO discusses how he wants every subreddit to be its own media company

No. We have already run the case study where people on Reddit, Twitter, and other social media will seethe at mere screenshots of headlines and captions under a picture with zero need for verification.

Here on HN we will pile into the comments to react to the title without even clicking the link to read it ourselves.

Provide a direct quote. If it's true, it will be easy for you to do.
Yeah, that's definitely the case and I see where the hassle is, but to restate my point, those costs are simply a part of overhead and not the business of users. Unless the users are given an opt-out first and foremost, they're owed ownership over their personal data.
No one is against actual law and order. I'm just against people that support law and order as policy.
Like harsher punishments and more power to the police, that sort of thing.

If you can't understand that after 3 comments what can I do? It's not hard to understand. It's different things. I never told you I want rape and riots, why are you distorting my words? I said people to whom "law and order" appeals to as policy are close minded people.

I'm personally much more afraid of any Raggare in the Swedish country-side than I've ever been of any immigrant in Stockholm. But I'm also an immigrant in Stockholm and you are not so you will never understand. Never. Just imagine knowing that 1 every 4 males around you basically voted to see people like you gone (if not worse) and you don't even know which one of the 4 it is.
When I want to make sure allocated memory gets initialized, I have the allocator set it to 0xDEADBEEF.

The trouble with 0 initialization is it can accidentally be correct, or can look correct when it isn't. When your pointer is pointing to 0xDEADBEEF, odds are 99.9999% that the data wasn't initialized.

D does a similar thing. The default initializer for floating point variables is NaN, not zero. There was a debate about this in the D forums.

https://digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Movement_ag...

My position was pretty clear - default initializations should not be accidentally correct.
DNS without DNSSEC is pretty much vulnerable to the kind of censorship that won't even let you know you are being censored... Any name system without something equivalent to DNSSEC is.

With DNSSEC it is still vulnerable, but only to the kinds that you will know you are being censored, so you can try to get it from another country or another channel.

If your ISP denies DNSSEC for you, you already know you are being attacked, and can get it through some other channel. DoH is a cool channel, just make sure it has DNSSEC.
I actually think that live, full body AI-generated realistic avatars (sometimes imitating celebrities to one degree or another) will become an everyday part of life for many people within the next 5-10 years.

I assume that full-on impersonation will still be illegal, but certain looks that are sometimes quite similar to a real celebrity will trend now and then.

The context for this is the continual improvement in the capabilities and comfort of VR/AR devices. The biggest one I think is going to be lightweight goggles and eventually glasses. But also the ability to stream realistic 3d scenes and people using AI compression (including erasing the goggles or glasses if desired) could make the concept of going to a physical place for an event or even looking exactly like yourself feel somewhat quaint.

> Hollywood movies primarily standardized on Dolby Vision

No, pretty much the entire video/streaming industry did. Apple, Netflix, Disney, HBO, etc, either stream in DV or HDR10 (non plus).

Physical Bluray is slowly dying (I own a bunch of those) so streaming is really where most of the HDR video content lives.

> Similarly games regularly opt for HDR10/HDR10+ for their HDR output instead of Dolby Vision

Fair point, but consumers keep complaining the PS5 doesn't have DV which is an indicator of what people want. DV is actually a big selling point for the Xbox Series X.

On PC, I don't know. I've been playing HDR in consoles for years but support on Windows has been pretty bad until recently. My impression is HDR is so much more popular on consoles vs PC. Same with Atmos and surround.
Seems outrageous that the company used a forged document and it seems that there should be some personal consequences to that (in addition to corporate consequences).

The part of this case that raises an interesting question for me is whether Charter's employment of this individual was reasonable. If Charter conducted a background check and saw that the prospective employee had stolen credit cards and checks before, should that have been sufficient reason to not hire him? It's not as if the prospective employee had a prior murder conviction. Even if the prospective employee did have a prior murder conviction: if people feel that the company should not hired the employee, then that seems like it would have a chilling effect on the hiring of felons. From that perspective, it seems excessive to hold the company accountable for this particular action (assuming that this has not been an issue with other employees).
Yeah, I kind of envy that.

Although with Clang-tidy I sometimes see GSL warnings: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/

For sure. I would like to see that in Rust as well, that would be nice. I am willing to put up with the lack of variadic & named arguments for the goodness the borrow checker brings me, but I can see how that would improve the ergonomics substantially.
Two options:

- use a library that implements RFC 5322 properly.

- don't validate the email address (that is, don't try to reject most invalid addresses) and just check that the field contains at least one `@` to be sure the user didn't enter something else than his email address by accident.

Tying to perform email address validation with regex you're writing yourself is the best way to reject perfectly acceptable email address and get frustrated users.
