This is a great point. "Processed food" is an incredibly broad category that is being somewhat demonized at the moment (not saying any comments here do this).

According to this Mayo Clinic quotation of USDA, processed food includes anything dried, frozen, canned, or mixed. https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speak...

I don't think (and am guessing most would agree) canned tomatoes are particularly harmful food, nor are frozen blueberries or fish, nor are dried raisins when I'm putting them in oats.

It's a spectrum. With my kids, dried mangoes make me slightly guilty because I know they are pretty high in sugar, albeit natural sugar. Most people would be more wary of frozen chicken nuggets. Some more specificity around what makes processed foods harmful, from the science and science comms communities, would be helpful.
Movable frets made of gut both allow for better tuning and require more tuning.
The problem with languages that use 10,000 is they still use commas at 1,000, so you get a very awkward offset that then requires a mental translation between numeric and verbal representations.

Sure if you grow up with it, you have that translation basically hard-coded but it’s still not ideal.
I think it's not possible to achieve with func name on its own, the closest thing I see would be comments on the function but again not reliable imo.

I don't use Nix but was curious how hard it would be to package; the dependencies listed on GitHub are... NoddJS. I'm not familiar enough to start rooting through their node dep files, and am under the impression that packaging node applications can be a bit of a pain depending on wether the modules it depends / their deps on are already packaged.
> Few other predators take the same trouble to ensure their prey is beyond suffering before beginning to eat.

I'd argue human factory farming practices are far worse than anything other predators do. Even cats that play with their food are better. At least that's relatively quick (a few hours at most). Humans frequently cause their prey to live their entire lives in tortuous conditions. The fact that the act of death itself is relatively painless is rather besides the point.

> Virtue signaling. A loaded term, yes. But it is exactly why these discussions go off the rails. Nutritional 'science' doesn't even really exist, so you can always find something out there that sounds very objective and intelligence which will back up the positions you already hold on faith.

What you're describing is more confirmation bias than virtue signaling. Certainly there's plenty of both here.
The way I remember Earth's approximate mass is the fact it's 10 times Avogadro's number in kg.

Depends on the food - something like acorns, for example, they are inedible for humans in their whole form, but hulling, grinding the nuts, and rinsing them of tannins makes a tasty nutritious flour.

The word “processed” is kind of a lazy heuristic - butchering, cooking, hulling, mixing, those are all ways of processing that are healthy and effective.

Creating something like a Twinkie is a whole different ballgame and looks more like a triumph of chemical engineering and material science than anything related to baking or cooking.
British may think otherwise.

If only a previous president had said so and banned it. Oh, that did happen. And then Biden unbanned it because a bunch of liberal journalists told him to.
That is one of the best tests out there, IMO. I do wish they'd add their charge curve details to it somehow. Something like the estimated time to completely a 600 mile trip would be an interesting detail, as range isn't the only thing that matters.
> Just eat minimally processed whole foods as often as possible, diversify your plate and moderate your intake.

If you highly diversify your diet, if any one thing is 'bad' for you, you are by your actions, reducing your exposure to it.

As far as processed foods, there are different forms of 'processing'. For example, canned vegetables are pretty minimally processed. Cured sausages are more highly processed, and nacho cheese doritos are really highly processed.

Let's be serious, it was a very complex task done on a short timeline. Something was going to break. Didn't matter who was in charge of the company or who left or whatever. But responsibilty still lies where it lies. It's a poor look imo to blame someone else for a screw up. Shit happens and move on.
No, it’s totally broken. Typical nutritional studies take a large group of people, ask them what they normally eat, and look for correlation with whatever health problems that have. This can’t possibly work because most people’s diets have been influenced by whatever crap they have read about nutrition over the years.

Or they use animal models, animals whose natural diet looks nothing like a human diet.

The only way to really know how diet affects health is to take a large group of people, assign them different diets, see that they actually follow them, then measure the outcomes. But practically nobody does this because it is really expensive to do.

Several years ago, I had a personal Dropbox account with lots of stuff in it. I joined a company that also had a corporate shared Dropbox. Since I couldn't sync multiple Dropbox accounts with the same client on a single computer, I joined my personal Dropbox account to the company one.

Later, when I left that job, the company removed me from the corporate Dropbox account. Dropbox removed all the corporate files from my local machine, and also all my personal ones. And deleted my personal files from my personal dropbox account, too. Luckily, I had another backup I was able to restore.

Now, I never link personal and corporate accounts of any kind, and stopped using Dropbox once they stopped supporting Linux.

I don't believe this is correct.
The entire industry of cryptocurrency scams would evaporate without, for example, complicit scammers shilling dogecoin on Twitter. That's an influencer.
I have no idea if it's a legitimate security risk, but regardless, if China wants to play the game with us that they are currently playing (banning non-Chinese apps from their country) we have to play that game, too. It makes no sense to play the "we'll take the high road" approach with them. If they ban our applications and services in their country, we need to ban their applications and services in our country. Full stop. The surveillance aspect isn't even a starter here, it's larger than that. If we have to play by their rules in their country, they have to play by our rules in our country.

I don't give a shit if it pisses off GenZ. GenZ's ability to share stupid videos of themselves dancing to crappy music is completely irrelevant to the wider geopolitical threats that China poses.

In full disclaimer: I helped build a service that was partially aimed at Chinese users, and had Tsinghua University as a client. When the trade wars started, our relationship was "ended" and Tsinghua took our idea & software and essentially cut us out of the equation completely. (Yes, their copycat version of our software and idea was completely useless and didn't work, but that's besides the point)
I’ve been finding this to be the case with the fediverse so far. I have different accounts on Mastodon and Bookwyrm, since Bookwyrm is more tailored to book reviews and quotes. But I can follow Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Peertube, and Pixelfed accounts from one main “reader” feed, providing more of a mix than I ever got on one platform alone.

Sure. But there are lots and lots of Beatles songs (for example) that shift keys in the main verse, often very early in the song (and often several times).

Key changes used to be something most bands handled easily, and the best songwriters got a lot of mileage out of it.

Twitter was a bloated and poorly-run company that was in serious need of an enema.

This is bouyed by the facts. Employees did very little actual work, each had multiple bosses who haphazardly lead their teams to accomplish nothing in 12 years, and oversaw mountains of wasteful corporate spending that produced nothing but losses in 10 out of the last 12 FY. Upwards of $4,000,000,000.

Musk could drag himself into the office, guzzle down 2 smoothies and "relax" ...and do nothing else till 4pm and still do better than the last decade of Twitter leadership.
That's certainly a possibility. But what if two people have to work on a big feature together?

> "Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad?"

Nostalgia alert. Social media used to provide 100% value all the time? Trolls didn't exist 10 years ago? "Rational debates" were thriving with a 140 character limit? When Twitter became a resource for learning about research on Covid and coverage of protests worldwide - surely subjects that would be fair game on "Post"[0] - I was certainly getting a lot of utility, but I can't honestly say I never felt angry or sad. This all just feels incredibly naive, like we can just turn back the clock.

[0] Speaking of nostalgia, I long for a future where company/product names aren't just dictionary words anymore.
Ask HN: Why do some people not communicate clearly?
This is something that's bothering me from time to time, so I'm interested in knowing if others are struggling with it as well.

It seems to me there are some people (my experience is with SWEs but probably not limited to that) that:

- don't directly address the point of your question / provide a much complex answer (or even worse, a non-answer) to a simple question

- don't stay focused to the point of the discussion

- don't have some level of clarity in their train of thought and speech

- generally over-complicate matters by wandering off to other related subjects and extending the scope of the discussion

In such cases I find it hard to have technical discussions at the point where I'm frustrated thinking of all the pointlessly-spent energy required to have those discussions the first place.

Anyone else feeling like this at work? Why do you think this happens? Is it an intentional choice to communicate like this, is it lack of some skill (on theirs or on my part) or something else?

P.S. Apologies for this rant (that probably lacks clarity as well)

I just imagined Judas Priest as a goat shepherd. Shepherding his flock of influencers.
But are you sure you're not being manipulated a bit ? China and many dictatorships, already have enough problems ruling their own shit, you think they want to like ... take over americans ?

All they seem to want is make sure you dont talk to their own sheeps while you focus on yours lol
Funny thing about running an internet service. Every visit costs you money. With advertisers dropping like flies, more eyeballs isn't always a good thing.
So what can you do with Mexican Peso if you are in Europe?
Can you buy Food? Drugs? Probably not. Does it matter if you bought it solely to speculate on its value? Clearly it does not. If you bought Mexican Peso yesterday and sell it today for a profit then that's it. Why would you care about what it is good for?
The whole point of speculating with assets is to make profit from price movements.

Now replace Mexican Peso with baseball cards then with crypto. There is no difference. Everyone knows baseball cards are useless and wont let you buy food not even drugs. But if you get an opportunity to make money trading them why would you not?
Trading crypto or even NFTs is just way way simpler than trading baseball cards so more people have access to it.

If all the people who constantly say how useless everything is would actually put their money where their mouth is and would trade and bet on lower prices then they would make huge money. And in the long run it would stabilize the market so we dont get these absurd bubbles and JPEGs temporary worth millions. But its all talk no action. The market requires the "everything is worthless" people to counter the "everything is gold" people. Yet these people just stay on the side line and every 4 year when it crashes they come together and slap each-other on the back for being too clever to partake.

Personally I dont mind it, these huge waves are where money can be made. The recent crashes have been very profitable for me.

>But forex enables international trade.

So does crypt. And cheap international remittance. Everything just runs better if liquidity is high in any asset.

The whole FTX crash and all that dint change anything its just a large fraudulent entity which's fallout will now affect the whole market. The exchange actually runs on the traditional financial system everything they did that was fraudulent wasn't crypt fraud it was just normal fraud. If anything this once again shows that you should not give your money to anyone else and that the government will not protect people form criminals. Needless to say that traditional market invested in FTX so they will be affected too.

What makes Mastodon not able to accomplish this?
Maybe so, but if we only focus on "efficiency" we're going to end up living in dystopian nightmare, a very efficient one. Specifically regarding food, eating is not something purely functional for humans who are not seeking maximal efficiency but also enjoyment.
Many electrical outlets now have USB ports... And now it's supposed to be USB-C... And then something else - it's going to be just as hard.
I'd say many of these terms are way too vaguely defined and used. What exactly counts as "packaged" food? What's "processed" food?

If I process cabbage into Sauerkraut or Kimchi, does that count as bad, because it's "processed"? What if it's processed by some company? What if they process it differently?

Case in point, Sauerkraut. If I make that at home, the bacteria stay alive the whole time. They still multiply in my fridge right now and keep the Sauerkraut OK to eat if a bit mushy after being left in there for too long coz I don't eat it often enough. If I buy Sauerkraut in a glass it's dead. Sure, they also used bacteria to actually make the Sauerkraut. And then they killed off all of the good bacteria by pasteurization to be able to stick it on a shelf w/ a long best before date and to guarantee the texture and color. Not to mention the extra "ingredients" they put in there.
> There's a reason classic rock is called classic rock and stuff made in the 90s onward doesn't qualify.

Of course rock made in the 1990s is classic rock now. That's how it works: Music made when the target demographic was in its teens and young adulthood is classic, and the music from the era when the currently dying generation was young gets aged out. When was the last time you heard Dion and the Belmonts on terrestrial radio? How about Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers? That's music. That's how all this works. Soon enough, Jay-Z will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I mean, if Jelly Roll Morton (look him up, kiddo) can make it, they obviously abandoned the "Rock and Roll" part of their name long ago.

2) Does the entity controlling those algorithms then matter assuming 1 is true?

I mean, you can't get around database CRUDs. I'm not talking about setting a private variable and getting or setting it (that doesn't seem like idiomatic Go at all), but using the logic described above, you can't know whether a method with a noun-based name is a Read or a Create.
You know not what you ask for. You are giving up freedom for safety.

How do we cut the app off? Remove it from the app store? People will post apps disguising a Tiktok connection. Block connections to servers in China? Doing that means creating a great firewall controlling what sorts of connections are made to American clients. If we get there, China will have proved that their method of government is better than ours. They will have already won.
Thank you both pjc50 and notacoward because I heard the phrase "cruelty is the point" and I've always interpreted as the person doing the cruelty enjoys what they do, as if the cruelty by itself is the goal, not a means to an end.

This might map with the idea how the military first needs to break a person to rebuild them in something that's capable of doing what society has taught us to never do (namely, kill others), and more strongly to what I've been increasingly hearing lately in the business world which is "antifragility".

In no way I am equating killing with building resilient systems, but I can see a thread connecting them when someone thinks that cruelty can produce better and improved new behaviors or systems.

Diet research seems like a wild goose chase and I'm not sure I trust much of it anymore. There are so many variables involved when it comes to human health that I fail to see how you can do any kind of accurate modelling on what is or isn't beneficial when it comes to food unless it has an obviously seismic effect e.g sugar, lack of vitamins and minerals etc. Whatsmore, it's plausible that something that may appear beneficial in the short term may actually be an imbalance that causes a long term response that isn't beneficial. Seemingly every food on the planet has a study showing it causes or cures cancer. Yes I'm being hyperbolic but you get what I'm saying. The whole problem is further compounded by Big $INDUSTRY funding and bribing scientists and whoever else to push $INDUSTRY_PRODUCT such as happened with the sugar lobby until recently.

People desperately want diet to behave like classical physics with an indentikit formula they can just roll out to everyone but it's just not the case. Everyone's body responds to different foods differently and even reacts to those same foods differently over time or in different situations. The only real way to find out is personal experimentation and observation.
