You are conflating two different dental problems, tooth decay and gum disease.

Sugar doesn't cause gum disease. Poor dental hygiene causes gum disease. Poor dental hygiene also causes tooth decay, but that doesn't make them the same thing. Tooth decay is caused by sugars, though it's mitigated by cleaning and fluoride. For tooth decay to infect the gums you'd have to be completely ignoring tooth hygiene. A dentist should have filled those cavities long, long before that point, or performed a root canal if you let it go that far.

Eliminating sugar won't change your chance of gum disease one way or the other. It's a bacterial infection that grows into plaques, and they have to be removed. People in the past developed gum disease long before sugars: Otzi the Iceman had gum disease.

The main modern cause of gum disease is smoking, though thankfully that is decreasing. Diabetes is also a cause of gum disease, and managing sugars reduces the chance of diabetes type 2. (Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune disorder independent of your sugar consumption, though type 1 diabetics also have to manage their sugar consumption -- though certainly not eliminate it.)

The "sugar is evil" trope is just not helpful, and it's not applicable here. It does not cause gum disease and is not implicated in Alzheimer's by this study. People should consume less of it, but it's not the villain it's made out to be by Robert Lustig and company.
A "short boat ride" you say... Current exclusion zones and logistical requirements suggest otherwise.

Realistically, P2P using giant rockets is a nothing but a pipe dream. Just straight forward things like weather proof this. The latest F9 launch had to be scrubbed two times due to unfavourable weather at the launch site, for example.

Now multiply that just that weather-risk by two, since the landing site also requires good conditions at the same time.

Then there's the "little things" like airspace closures, launch permissions, boarding procedures, the requirement for personal pressure suits (simple masks won't do in case of cabin pressure loss), etc.

The idea sounds so easy on paper, but there's a lot of good reasons that in over 60 years of crewed space flight, the idea hasn't even been demonstrated.

My problem with the concept of NFTs is that I still don't see what use they really are. All the use cases I've heard so far can be better done (or, worst case, done as well) using existing mechanisms.

This article doesn't even try to make a solid case for their use. It simply declares them useful as part of their sales pitch.

The tricky bit would to teach it "Gettyness" without showing it Getty images but I think that's entirely possible. Getty images aren't astonishing examples of unprecedented originality. So it just needs to know a) the celebrity b) the action and c) what people mean when they ask for something that looks like a Getty image.

EDIT - I answered in a rush and realise you made a similar point to me about "Gettyness" - which makes it even harder for me to understand why you think it would be a violation.

Ah, my bad on the timing. Thanks for the correction.

Still, I think my logic still holds; if they banned him out of the blue right as the winds changed, it would be obviously political; by waiting for a casus belli (as it were), they can credibly claim non-political reasons.
To be fair, it's often very unclear how regulations relating to markets apply. Which is why lawsuits around them often get reversed on appeal, re-reversed on another appeal, and so on.

It's often very open to interpretation what constitutes a market, what constitutes bundling, what constitutes dominance, what constitutes monopoly, what even constitutes a product. There's neither such a thing as clear-cut definitions, nor even common sense (since different people's common sense can be diametrically opposed).

It's things as basic as: is a Sony Walkman with headphones one product or two? What's the difference between Sony requiring you to buy headphones together with the tape player, or Android requiring Google to be the default search? Is "portable cassette player with headphones" a single market, or are "portable cassette players" and "headphones" separate markets?

There's no such thing as "just follow EU regulations". Google and other observers can genuinely believe it's following them, while a specific EU court and yet other observers can genuinely believe it's breaking them.
Reddit, she ded
> Sweden top of Europe for rape

When that right-wing trope went around a few years ago, I learned that it was a deliberate misreading of the numbers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden . Some of the key points are:

If a women says her husband raped her every day for a month, how is that entered in the statistics?

In the US until about 50 years ago there was a "marital exemption" that allowed a husband to rape his wife, so the answer would have been 0.

In some jurisdictions it's counted as one rape report.

In Sweden it's counted as about 30 rapes. (That was an eye-opener to mean when I learned about it.)

Furthermore, Sweden's definition of "rape" is broader, and includes interactions which in many other countries would not be considered a rape.

Next, Sweden tallies rapes when reported, while in some countries they are tallied when prosecuted, which lowers the effective rape rate.

Additionally, rape victims are more likely to report the crime when they have respect and trust in the police, and when rape isn't treated as something to shame the victim about. This is the case in Sweden, so rape appears to be reported at a higher rate than many other countries.

The Wikipedia page lists more reasons why a cross-national comparison like "rape capital" is difficult to make.
Here in Sweden this has also been on the national television news the last two days.

Hopefully this will somehow be a step towards more freedom in Iran.

Having a different pre-defined value for allocation vs deallocation scribble is nice because you can then tell if the error happened pre-initialization or post-free. $AA and $55 also weren't chosen by accident one assumes, $AA is 1010_1010 and $55 is 0101_0101. Consistent values help with reproduction.

I'm happy that we're finding ever more exoplanets! I remember, as a kid, that there was speculation as to whether they even existed.

I'm less happy about the moon inflation in our solar system. It's pointless. I honestly find the claim that Jupiter has 79 moons misleading. A 1 km rock orbiting 20 million kilometers away, really? It's so far removed from what our moon is that we should not be using the same word to describe it. It's fine to call it a satellite.
An app that intercepts the personal data that I generate and allows me to dictate what the computer transmits, for instance I could tell it to say that I am a poor 20-year old white woman and then advertisers who target on that stuff would more likely advertise stuff to me that I genuinely couldn't care about if I tried to.

This would waste their time and money and cause me to giggle when I see an ad for something very girly knowing that the me they think they're selling to isn't real.

You are mixing gender roles and sex here. Yes, variables like the ratio of sex hormones will lead to different results but that's not all there is to it.

Matriarchal societies would definitely have different results than a country where women have no rights. Even in countries that are more average in gender equality, how do you explain the difference between countries in the percentage of women in leadership positions or in parliament?

Unfortunately I was not able to locate a preprint for the paper itself, so we only have this article summarizing.

First I'll say that without preregistration of the methodology, there's a lot that is immediately suspicious.

> The researchers built an index based on 15 relevant questions in the NCHA, in which students were asked about their mental health in the past year

Why these 15? What was the "relevance" criteria?

To their credit, they don't just look at a summary metric of "mental health" which would be kind of absurd since the relative weighting is also arbitrary (although that appears to be the main conclusion). The article here notes several axes on which significant differences were found. Why these axes? What about other "mental health" metrics? Did they get better or stay neutral or just have no detectable effect?

Without preregistration it's almost impossible to determine exactly how cherry-picked these differences were, as with a large enough set of potential questions to choose from, you're going to find statistically significant trends on some of them by random chance.

The core methodology is to track the spread of Facebook to different colleges and compare mental health between schools that had Facebook and schools that did not yet have Facebook. This is surprisingly not terrible, but without insight into how the study controlled for the time axis and potential confounding variables about the non-random selection of schools for the rollout, it's difficult to say more.
Yeah, search doesn't work at all. It does seem like it pulls up specific channels if you put "ch" in the search text, so I tend to go from there.

Another thing to note, if you're particularly trying to load up, is you can buy I-bonds as a 'gift', separate of your individual limit. Specifically you and your spouse can buy $10k each directly, plus each buy $10k as a gift to the other (thus $40k total). You can actually buy >$10k as a gift for someone, but you can't transfer beyond $10k a year to that person, effectively increasing the minimum hold period.

Also a general note - you can enter your payment account electronically, but ever changing it requires mailing a form! So choose wisely.

The smoking comparison is very apt I think. People and institutions persistently pointing out that correlation isn't causation is a big part of why it took decades for the link between smoking and cancer to become commonly accepted after it was well established.

Some were surely acting in their own personal financial interests but I'm also certain that a lot of it was more nuanced and personal. People need to think of themselves as, for the most part, good people who do mostly good things. Knowingly contributing to something that makes life much worse for many people doesn't align with that and they will need to deny it. I know if you polled phillip morris employees about cancer in the late 60s after the link was confirmed you'd hear a lot about correlation and uncertainty.

HN isn't a random slice of the population. A lot of us here work in this domain or on similar products. There are certainly people in this comment section who directly worked on the core facebook product being discussed. They need to think of themselves as good still, too.

I do sorta wonder how often people are turning down podcasts.

Will MacAskill was on several of my favorite podcasts lately. Presumably it makes the interview slightly easier for the interviewer when there is a clear argument/thesis of the author but also seems like he would have been just as good of a guest 4 or 8 months ago (and 4 or 8 months from now) as he is now. And seeing he always has a desire to promote his work/his view I don't know why he would ever say no to a legitimate podcast.

Was Will saying no to them then? Or asking people to wait? Or is much of this still sorta random and it takes the initiative of a third party PR person to connect people?
