I didn’t downvote you, but if folks are coming here looking for answers then a simple “my guess” based (apparently at least) on pure speculation and without inside knowledge of how Google’s setup _actually_ works, doesn’t add much to the conversation.

If your post had included something like “I used to work on Google search”, “I used to work on Bing search”, or “I’ve spotted this piece of data in the network responses being sent to my browser and therefore” you might have gotten a more favourable reception.
Why do people cook food and not buy it only from restaurants with rigorous health and safety checks in place? Could avoid lot of food poisonings that way.
Okay, your first link states that potatoes and white rice also have a higher GI than sucrose, which makes sense, as they'd have a more complex set of sugars when cooked as the starch chains break down.

Meanwhile, pasta made from white flour has a lower GI than white bread, but also lower than sucrose.

Which also makes sense, as bread has sugar added to it as part of the baking process, and also to enhance consumer uptake in certain markets.

(US bread contains more added sugar than bread in my country).

So, this leads me to a clarifying question or two:

1) What is the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Italy and SE Asia? Given the prevalence of pasta in the former, and rice in the latter.

2) In your country, is white bread really the main source of daily carbohydrates?

I totally agree that eating huge amounts of refined carbohydrates is unhealthy, but I haven't seen anything here that shows that white flour as a part of a balanced diet will inherently make you sick.

I had actually bought Mod’s book, and she’s absolutely one of the best authors in the field. She takes the notions of giants like Moshe Haviv and Gallagher and translate it in a way that is super intuitive and simple. She’s one of my role models in academia. Pass her my greetings. I intend to teach a course based on her textbook after I’m done with my PhD (but mostly IEEE articles here, so not real science like ACM’s SIGs. Wish my PhD was in the awesome topics you guys are working on. I see the papers of Mor’s and Ziv Scully and the whole lab, really awesome work! Kudos to you guys. I won’t hide my envy of having Mor as a supervisor :D)
I have to wonder how they devised the list to be recorded. Perhaps they have a list of every reason a train has ever been delayed and they used that.
I hope this project goes somewhere, but I feel like it may be too early for a public launch. I also think it may hurt the project to position itself so clearly as specifically a TikTok alternative given how difficult it is to replicate TikTok's defining characteristics - a powerful video editing app, ability to duo with other people's videos, and a famously good recommendation algorithm.
I run my own mailserver and Gmail seems to receive my emails fine. They're somewhat more prone to be marked as spam, but for my purposes that ain't a big deal.

AT&T, however, has out of the blue decided that my server's blacklisted despite showing up on precisely zero blacklists. I've reached out to their email address specifically for this issue and haven't gotten so much as a response, let alone resolution. My hunch is that something about my IP block got flagged and my server became collateral damage. Oh well; I guess I can't email my grandpa.
> The article takes the premise that HSR should go 320 kph (200mph) and then explains why that is infeasible in many places.

Top speed means close to nothing, and it's one of the reason why the definition of high speed rail is not tied to top speed.

Great Britain has a notorious high speed railway corridor whose top speed is only around 160mph, and the reason is that the railway line was designed with the express purpose of preserving a cruise speed close to the top speed of the trains available at the time.

It's absurd to talk about high speed railway if it was a drag race. The main challenge in high speed railway is making it possible for high speed trains to actually travel at speeds that high-speed trains can already reach. Lines need to overcome constraints imposed by speed, geography and infrastructure costs, and tradeoffs often lead solutions to not match optimal layouts to reach top speeds.

Also, whenever a train needs to serve an intermediate station, they need to spend a great deal of time decelerating, stop at the station to serve passengers, and accelerate again. Sometimes it's feasible for infrastructure operators to spend money on a sideline to skip that station, but on some cases that's simply not realistic. Take for example Paris-Amsterdam and Paris-Cologne, which have to pass through Brussels and where the bulk of the train trip is spent passing through the inner city of Brussels alone where the top speed is 20km/h.

We recently got Liraglutide for a family member and it's worked wonders. (It's an alternative to semaglutide, and only available as an injection). They've lost weight for the first time at age 64, mostly because they just don't feel hungry all the time anymore. They're super happy to see the stretch marks on their belly.

It costs around INR 12,500/month though for a total of 3 injections, after a 20% discount, which is super expensive. (For comparison, a strip of 15 tablets of Hydroxychloroquine costs INR 110, and all their other medicines for diabetes, hypertension, depression, insulin etc cost INR 6000/month combined). And insurance doesn't cover any medication here unless it's 30-60 days pre/post hospitalization.

Ultra – New JavaScript package manager
Hi! For the last few months I have been working on a new package manager for JavaScript/Node.js called Ultra (or Ultrapkg), it is faster than NPM and Yarn Classic and in certain environments it is faster than PNPM.

To put some technical context, it uses the same cache system as PNPM, using a shared store for packages, along with some more optimizations like per-package lockfile or manifest cache.

Any suggestions/issues or comments are welcome!

I confess having been corrupted from text files to org mode, mostly because of the relative ease of sticking timestamps into notes, having links in the files that don't spew the urls all over, having convenient html export, and being an outliner that can collapse chunks of text. I sometimes use the built-in table/spreadsheet feature. There's a bunch more stuff I don't use.

I do refer to and maintain my org files to some extent. Typically I'll get interested in some topic start an org file where I mostly save links haphazardly, with brief comments. I don't put serious effort into cross-linking related entries which a bunch of notes apps seem to expect you to do. That seems like a waste of time. The org files are just info dumps where I throw whatever info I find into a bin of related items. Once or twice I've written something up for publication based on the notes in one of those files, but that meant writing actual words and sentences in an organized sequence, not cross-linking a bunch of notes to each other.

My fanciful guess is that they use a LM (language model) to determine if something is an answerable question and then if it is parse certain pages with an LM if it is classified as an answerable question. Maybe the LM stuttered on something on emojipedia.

How is the speed limit situation nowadays?
Have you read the article? Do you think saying "other people make no sense" is a great way to engage in a gentler, more civilized discussion? Try to put yourself in their shoes and understand where their aguments are coming from and why you may disagree so strongly with them. Almost always, I can ensure you, it's NOT the case that "they make no sense", but that you simply have made no effort to take into account their reasoning and motivations, which may be just as valid as yours, yet lead to completely different conclusions.
This sort of things is even 'funnier' when you realise that there must have been a whole discussion on this specific issue in one or several meetings.
I wish there was builtin support for webapps that was at least as integrated as X forwarding is on ssh. Basically what I'm imagining is some standardized way of tunneling http in unix sockets, and then ssh setting up the sockets and some env var. Then when application connects to the socket ssh client would open new browser window similar to PWA.

There are many flaws with such approach, webapps being often crappy being of course one of them. But the redeeming factor is that practically all the tech already exists, this would need just minimal glue to make it reality, while many other approaches are more of a pipe dream.
Because they are so low friction when taking notes, while making easy to find information again. Plain text files are fine if you have specific search terms you can search on. Some times you just know that you might have noted something around a certain date or under a broad tag. Other PKM systems require pruning and sorting. I find my self doing some sorting for notes I frequently used, but others I'm happy to leave un sorted and look up by tag if and when I need them. Logseq is great for code snippets too: https://blog.g9n.com/2022/07/01/managing-code-snippets-in-lo...
Yes. The Biden admin is creating a two-front war with Russia and China.

I think a key to understanding their thinking is that they believe that the US is winning wrt. Ukraine. And having solidified European allies, now is the time to use that momentum and full-on confront China.

So you would end up with a broken Russia, a humiliated China, and another unipolar American moment like the 90es.

I'm going to be a little skeptic and say that part of the article reads like an ad. Cork exploration is certantly less destructive than the high intensity water hungry olive and almond farms, the green houses in protected areas or the high end condos in the dunes that have been showing up through Alentejo. Maybe it's even the best balance we can get between some need for profitability and vaguely natural land, but I have very strong doubts about some of the language used in the article. Some examples:

"This traditional type of management is not disruptive to biodiversity, which has adapted and endures because of it. The wild species that inhabit these areas no longer have alternatives, and so will be at risk if the Montado land-use is changed."

Alentejo as seen the influence of man in transforming the landscape for thousands of years. This type of management was likely very disruptive. biodiversity adapted and the one that didn't is gone. Most of the times we can't even see the problem simply because the bodies of the extinct species decomposed and left no trace. Wolves are gone, vultures are gone, wild boars are a problem due to the lack of natural predators and most land is fenced which is a huge problem to any kind of bigger wild life that needs to move around.
From what I've learned cork trees were heavily trimmed during the fifties due to the need for wood making them a lot smaller than they could be and so storing a lot less carbon. So things are very disruptive but sometimes it's just not in a time scale we can notice, or feel and responsability for it.

"Material scientists in Amorim's iCork lab are also experimenting by combining cork with rubber and bio-based or biodegradable polymers to develop other new uses including injection moulding."

So it's an experiment in making composites of cork and plastic that will probably be impossible to recycle and will take a long take to degrade in realistic conditions. Not saying that those material aren't needed I just really think this wording is trying to deceive people into thinking this is something it's not.
MPTCP is an extension of TCP and is "drop-in". But AFAIK making it opt-in was a concession to get it upstreamed in Linux, understandably as this is a risky change.

There are different ways to enable it on unmodified applications, e.g. via a wrapper or using eBPF.
You really expect people caring for homeless to come with some ready made technically feasible solution? Of course they will do moral appeals and suggest potentially dangerous solutions first.

I think you are right. If the response would be a promise or similar, it would become a reactive system.

Disclaimer, I've avoided using reactive approaches as much as I can on the server side as it increases the complexity (and cognitive load) and makes diagnosing issues harder. This is my experience in the JVM world, I'm not sure how it is in other languages/platforms.

[This article](https://netflixtechblog.com/zuul-2-the-netflix-journey-to-as...) from Netflix mentions the tradeoffs they experienced when they re-engineered their API gateway to be reactive. I wonder if this is still valid as the article was written 6 years ago.
It's AWS page says Preview, meaning it has never gotten to an official stable release. It's like using a beta/rc product, there is an explicit warning this is not the final version and it might not get anywhere.
This probably needs a good way to cover its tracks, or it'll just get blocked like other VPN-services. As far as I understand, you can make pretty educated guesses at the type of content even with SSL, because e.g. Videos are loaded in bursts. I'm sure web and other traffic has similar characteristics, and it would be easy enough to say that something isn't a normal HTTPS connection because of how the data flow looks. Does this tool defend against that, are the connections being dropped when not in use to mimic browser-behavior?
It seems that the only way such social media can survive is through ads.
Have you put any thought into how to monetize and stay afloat?
I can totally believe that. But it has 470 or so stations. That makes about 10k or so daily passengers per station. That's very roughly the same as Berlin. Additionally, the trains are quite slow, which ain't a problem for a metropolitan network, but you certainly cannot compare that system to a country- or continent-wide train network.
I'm not really positive about the community made generator. The spec itself is great, but that's where it stops. Code quality is low of the generated clients and servers, the handlebars templates makes it hard to develop for and don't get me started about the PR reviews. Basically nothing happens.

We've given up and started to create our own generator. Even this is a hard thing to do as the available parsers in our language are horrible too.
Current everyday networking has tens-of-microseconds latency[1] and on 2018 era CPUs the context switch overhead seems to be 1-2.5 microseconds[2]. So in benchmark and specialized use cases, context switch overhead would be measurable but many orders of magntude away from relevant when talking about communication over the internet.

Why are we not talking about the lead of this story, which is that the tech not working caused a headache for uninvolved people, and the company refused to take responsibility for it until it was embarrassed in the press, and then hid behind the weasel words of "our cars were following applicable laws".

ActivityPub is a common language that allows describing "actors", "activities" and "objects" -- and as such, can describe any kind of social platform, from blog, to forum, to social media site, be it for photo sharing, video sharing, or something -- in your words -- Twitter-like. Not everything that uses ActivityPub will be 100% identical in user-facing functionality and UX, but most platforms have a concept of subscribing to other users, receiving new posts, and replying or re-sharing posts, which is where the interoperability comes to shine.

If your blog uses ActivityPub, it is still a blog. People could just subscribe to it to receive your posts in their home feed, reply to them, or re-share them in a way your blog could process (or choose not to).
Same, of all the people I've interacted with, it's AWS and GCP which are liked (AWS mostly for features, GCP more for UX/DX), Azure is at best accepted and the only reasons anyone uses are "we were already a MS partner/shop".
Just go after a specific kind of mushroom and one that doesn’t have any close lookalikes and it’s very easy to safely pick mushrooms. Next level up from picking a single one is to pick a few known kinds which all have distinct features that can’t be confused with others.

I pick only boletus, chanterellus (which has a bad lookalike in North America but it’s not really that close and where I am in Europe there is no really poisonous lookalike at all). Even easier late in autumn when you can pick various cratherellus and there are almost no other mushrooms at all.

> Then he came in as a hail-mary and got $150mil from Microsoft to stay in business a few extra months

This is another HN myth like “cable was once ad free”.

Before Amelio was kicked out, he had secured $4 billion in financing. If you look at the series of events, it is completely illogical thst $150 million could have “saved” Apple. The deal happened in 1997. Apple wasn’t profitable and just barely until 2000-2001. $150 million couldn’t have saved it. Besides that, a month later, Apple spent $100 million to buy out PowerComputing’s Mac license.

The second myth is that part of the deal was that Microsoft agreed to port Office to the Mac. Office was already available for the Mac and actually started on the Mac.

Part of the deal was that Microsoft would continue supporting the Mac with Office and port IE.

Also Apple and Microsoft were involved in two major legal disputes - the “look and feel” lawsuit where Apple accused MS of copying the Macs interface and that MS illegally used QuickTime code. They agreed to drop the lawsuit and cross license patents.
