Dr Sean baker has eaten literally nothing but red meat, cooked rare to boot, for more than five years. He has perfect health. He hasn’t developed any of the pathologies that are caused by red meat or saturated animal fat according to the medical establishment. CAC score zero. Zero plaques in a survey of blood vessels in the eye balls. Nothing. The current model is wrong. Why is it so hard for people to wrap their mind around it?
I wonder how much of a factor of how the meat was raised plays into this?
We've done a lot of work on "self-hosted AND automated"

inletsctl - automates a VM with the inlets tunnel server preinstalled, including with HTTPS termination with Let's Encrypt, or pure TCP pass-through

inlets-operator - the same for Kubernetes Load Balancer services

Feel free to take a look at https://inlets.dev/

We talk a lot about the community adoption here in the first half -https://inlets.dev/blog/2022/11/16/service-provider-uplinks....

It is brilliant. Twitter was a poorly run company. He'd be better off firing just about everyone and bringing in his own people. He should also move the HQ and may just do that next year after debt restructuring.
I think the term is imprecise and there should be a distinction between:

- cheese, pickled herring, charcuterie and such which can be part of a healthy diet

- pre-made (supermarket) meals or junk food (a vulgar term but unfortunately fitting) which typically aren't part of a healthy diet
That could happen, but if you were running, say, a grocery store, and 90 of your 100 employees walked out the door in a single swoop, everything would look pretty good for a little while, maybe even a day or two. There's still merchandise on the shelves, customers are still able to check out because you've routed your staff there. But over time things will start to cascade. The freezer breaks. Someone breaks a bottle of wine in aisle 10. A customer can't find anything and walks out. Etc etc.

But yeah, for that little bit at the start, everything "looks" fine.

Point being: it's way too soon to say twitter is surviving.
Difference here is that we don't see people leaving at massive scale. Maybe it's to early. Anyway, I think chances are 50-50 twitter succeeds in re-launch. I wouldn't be surprised of any outcome. But I would be surprised to see something else explodes in popularity just because it's twitter alternative.
That was my initial thought too about this theory. In any tech company competent people are always the first ones to leave on first signs of trouble. They already have new opportunities lined up and they are just waiting for an excuse to leave and probably get a pay rise on their way out. High functioning people in general tend to have each others backs because they have more to give and it's just more fun to work being surrounded by capable people rather than use your time instructing people who never seem to get it and just leech your time.

In case I sound elitist, I don't think those competent people have any inherent trait that makes them that way, it's more to do with whether you know how to do deep work, it's something you can learn.
> I'm only claiming that to be effective at C you must understand computer architecture well.

You still have this problem: We have lots and lots of buggy C code in critical software.

If your claim is to be effective at C you must understand computer architecture well, but unfortunately few are effective at C, because few really understand computer architecture well, and unfortunately we have lots of buggy C code as a result, I'm not sure where you are after that?

Is it possible C hasn't worked as the gate you say it has worked as?

> to be effective at C you must understand computer architecture well.

So long as we are here, I would also quibble with this claim. Knowing loads about C, or more specifically how to prevent C memory safety issues, is perhaps not the best indication one knows anything about network security or cryptography. In fact, we know the reverse is the case. There are plenty of OpenSSL devs who are domain experts in cryptography, who have not proven themselves well adapted to deal with C memory safety issues. Something like Rust sounds perfect for such a use case?

> Right, because the only way to fix problems is to rewrite? Typical inexperienced programmer attitude.

What do you think writing a borrow checker for C would entail?! Do I think it would be a tremendous effort, with little gained? Oh yeah. Do I think we should just use Rust for new software? Yep, because why wait for this C borrow checker? I just don't get it. I think saying "Just use Rust" makes me sensible. "Let's build a borrow checker for C!" is tilting at windmills.
Same thing for fossil fuels, CFCs, and leaded gasoline, right? Turns out they were fine all along.
It's interesting that, under every silo's balance sheet shown in that document, there is a footnote saying that customer crypto deposits are not represented in the balance.

Is that his way of saying that they haven't been able to figure out where the customer crypto deposits were represented in the ledgers?

I didn't know that. Can you point me to the source of these numbers? I would like to know more.
I had some luck with Camelot (https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/). However, as many of the comments here say, PDF is a beast.
There would be far less suffering if we all lived on a plant-based diet. As well it would help in the fight against climate change, reducing environmental impacts.
In the Netherlands, I hear, they have a term "first sheep across the bridge".

Apparently if you bring a flock to a bridge, they all hesitate until one finally tentatively steps onto it, and then they all go.

You can see the obvious analogies to first-mover human behavior.
>Similarly, there's no mention of food-borne illnesses due to microbial contamination, again a higher risk in combined and processed meat (hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage etc.)

Have you read your own data?

>study of 4589 foodborne outbreaks attributed 46% of these hospitalizations and 43% of the deaths to meat

The majority of foodborne illnesses do not come from meat. If you are observant, you would notice that a disproportionate amount of things like E.coli outbreaks are associated to salads served in fast foods.
And much of the risk associated with meat comes from a lack of hygiene or under-cooked meat. Chicken is a high risk of E.coli when under-cooked but it's much less dangerous than a damn lettuce when it's well done.

Regardless of ingredients (meat or pure vegetarian) there's also too many illnesses contracted because employees of restaurants are severely lacking in hygiene. Gastroenteritis causing pathogens should have ceased to exist if people were not so disgusting, going to the toilet without washing their hands.
a company that processes food and it ends up being superior

To be glib, any process that makes normally undigestible things edible to humans would qualify for that. Cooked rice is superior to raw rice, fermented cabbage is superior to raw cabbage, and glazed onions are superior to raw onions.

That's usually not the type of processing people refer to when they use the term "processed foods". It usually refers to a type of processing where the original ingredients are no longer individually recognizable, and where the end result contains much more additives (sugar, salt, fats) than were in the original product(s).
I am extremely sure, thank you.
Well any particular Mastodon server can end up ruined or with ads. Or shutdown.

Reminds me of the early days of email when people used their local ISP hosts for their personal email addresses. So every time you moved or whatever your email address changed.

Mastodon at least opens up space for experiments. Lots of interesting possibilities.
Yes, except that I think people relate to voices differently than other instruments; maybe our brains lock onto human voices in a special way. So harmonies that are sung still have a different effect.
I don't think it's racism for the most part, but I do agree that some people seem to have some incredibly strong feelings about China without great justification. I wonder how much of it is caused by the US's anticommunist history.

Maybe it's right to dislike China for ideological reasons. But even if that is the case, isn't banning Tiktok hypocritical? If you dislike China because they censor information coming from other countries, don't follow the will of their citizens, and regulate speech, it appears to me that urging an executive agency to ban Tiktok is doing those same things in the US.

I genuinely don't see much harm in Tiktok but plenty of people on HN seem to hate it just because it's from China and that doesn't seem like a valid reason to me.
What features though? The color of buttons? Innovation at twitter died 10 years ago. The old team literally accomplished nothing but censorship and banning 500,000 people who didn't agree with their politics.
I’m fairly sure he was just dumb enough to write that contract in a way that essentially forced himself into buying it at such a high price.
I wonder if deciding where word boundaries should be was not always obvious.

Italian "give it to me" can be three words or one depending on order. me lo da / dammelo.

Lots of verb conjugations are basically contractions of the root/infinitive with a version of have/be. scriverai (scrivere hai) you will write (to write you have).

Combine that with a fixed written language and constantly evolving spoken language, and it gets muddier. Like my first example, since classical Latin didn't have articles but late Latin did.

Would like to hear from native speakers of Romance/neo-Latin languages if that seems plausible or like total bs.

> Apple APIs are infamous for their long names. Not sure what they gain by it

Clarity.

It's also a factor of Objective-C's compound methods (inherited from Smalltalk), as each parameter names appears in the method, and which leads to a very phrase-like style.

By osmosis, the C APIs use a similar style.
If you make your money based on how popular you are, you are going to lose money, one way or another, if you start pissing off lots of people.

Bullying and playground politics just isn't the right way to think about this.

Kyrie, e.g., put the economic pressure on himself. Nike sells shoes. They don't want to pay him anymore because he can't sell shoes nearly as well now, and might impact their ability to sell shoes long-term. Regarding the Nets and NBA, Kyrie's many million dollar contract isn't exactly for playing basketball. It's for his ability to get lots and lots of people to want to watch basketball. When he pissed off a lot of people he doesn't do that very well, and his value as a basketball player drops.
"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"

That's not the American way. The United States became the center of the modern global economy because it said "you can sell your goods here, and we're gonna push really hard to make you let us sell our goods there, too. But if you don't, fine, you can still sell your goods here".

It's basically the opposite approach of a trade war.
I’m willing to bet a pretty penny that the next big social media will be built on the fediverse.

> Glad Mastadon is doing its thing being like the IRC of twitter or whatever, but there's absolutely no way it ever truly competes

A good thing about open source software is that any kinks can be fleshed out over time through contributions and forks.

Think about how many non-technical people run WordPress blogs on the internet.
This apparent distinction between finding workarounds vs working around things seems to be heavily dependent on your opinion of what is hard or easy. I guess if you want to be the oracle of which workflows are good that’s fine, seems like it would be a bit annoying on your end though.
Do you have any actual facts to back this up? I would be interested to know why you are so sure of this.
I wouldn't bet on cruelty, but it's definitely a typical class war, owners/managers vs workers. Nothing new here.
Frozen vegetables are good. Some canned vegetables retain their flavor and nutrition as well. Some canned veggies are just a hot mess (I am looking at you, canned asparagus). Canned beets are fine. Canned corn is fine in most recipes.

The beauty of canned goods is that you don't expend energy to store them.

The beauty of frozen veggies (and some frozen fruits, blueberries for example) is that they keep and work well for small quantities. I ate a lot of frozen veggies when I was single.
The main page talks about both, starting with the two options I stated for just electricity after 10 years, and making everything else also renewable after 15.

(On the one hand, if you can build that many batteries, fully electric transport is fairly easy; on the other, I don't think there's a plan to ban fossil fuelled cars soon enough to actually hit fully electric transport 15 years from now, but that's probably an unimportant quibble on this scale of change).
Yeah maybe 10 years ago. But this hasn't been happening to me for the last 4 years.

>> Why feed someone’s enterprise for free who will then turn it into a powerful walled garden, make billions in profit while eventually dictating what you can and can’t do on said platform.

Come on, you are getting A LOT from all those platforms. You feed someone else's enterprise just as much as it feeds you. Those who have even small audiences get a lot of value, not sure why you are trying to picture it as one way street.
>> * “look, this thing runs fine on 20% of the staff*

The full quote read “look, this thing runs fine on 20% of the staff, and now that the 80% naysayers are gone we’re going to really get shit done”. “Get shit done” is essentially what you call R&D progress.
It's not N - 1 + X. It's more like N - (N * .7) + X. And X is way smaller than N*.7 (it's ~0).

Anyway, in terms of bug severity that 70% is also way worse than the other 30%.

The rest of your post is all just silly "people should code better" and isn't worth responding to.
Sorry to hear you got shafted by Tsinghua U. But this is a race to the bottom. GenZ is our future. They will be in charge of our country and will make their own choices.
People will, for the time being at least, want what these platforms give them, which is the illusion of reach and a constant feed of stimulation. I feel like I don't get the from, say, Mastodon and I think personally think that's ok.
Its a hack and ugly. But lots of system admin folks love it and between them pushing it at work and MS pushing it its hard to avoid. Its reaaaaal shitty though, especially when they enable it on someone with a huge profile and you're in a baffling in-between while its trying to sync.
That make sense then. In north America more than half of the games are on the road hundreds of miles away. Typically it's the home crowd that shows up.
This is so easily done.

There are so many potential footguns in these patterns.

Except the Cloud turns them from brief weird bugs into foot-nukes.

Now that's great satire.
> employees of the FTX Group submitted payment requests through an on-line ‘chat’ platform where a disparate group of supervisors approved disbursements by responding with personalized emojis

This seems like a totally legit approach to me -- ChatOps for expenses, essentially. The usability of "an on-line 'chat' platform" (presumably Teams / Slack / Discord / equivalent) is much better for the employees than most finance tools, and most chat apps these days should have pretty great auditability capabilities.

(Of course, the rest of this FTX fiasco is a total disaster.)
Or in languages that you can import a resource but give it a custom name. So whenever you are reading someone else's code you have to double check to understand what is going on. For instance, import DiskUtils as DU, and now all the code references DU.diskSpace()

Nobody successful has ever truly winged it. Your moves are deliberate, calculated, and based on what you observe, not what you think or believe. You may take a guess and come out on top, but in the end, you didn't get lucky, you make a calculated move and it went in your favor because you calculated correctly.
Statistical models are flimsy and misleading. I think anyone who has worked with them would admit that. Add or remove one parameter and the whole thing can change. Trusting any conclusion based on a statistical model is naive. The fact that scientific research relies on them so heavily is the main reason I don't "trust the science". It's a house built on sand.
Another case of the lack of distinction in English between "libre" and "gratis" causing problems, I see.
There are lots of great ranchers and butchers out there who raise their livestock humanely. You’ll probably want a big deep freezer but search for a “half beef” or “whole cow” sales and you’ll likely find a ranch near you that can give you ethical meat, and probably at a better price since you’re buying in bulk. (Many ranches will do smaller steak/burger sales too)

The cool thing is that a lot of these operations partner with butchers who can cut to order, so you get exactly the thickness of steaks you like, certain roasts, Korean-style ribs if you want them, soup bones, shanks, etc. all exactly how you like them.

Grass-fed beef is a superfood!
I genuinely don't think it's compatible with contemporary western morality that holds that actions are either valid expressions of self-actualization and so require no apology, or are transgressions for which no forgiveness is possible.

The idea that regardless of a person's "right" to make a certain choice, an action can be so harmful that it cannot be corrected, but also that it can be forgiven is too far from how we think and live now.
Ask HN: What are some quotes that stuck with you and change the way you think?
"Even if you don’t have any aspirations to build a public following, there is tremendous career value in becoming the go-to person within your technical niche.
The person who everybody on your team comes to with their toughest question about that language or framework. The person who knows where all the bodies are buried in ActiveDirectory or Typescript or DynamoDB. Those folks have great careers and job security because authoritative knowledge like that is rare.
To some extent, it’s rare because wisdom only comes with experience. But I know plenty of engineers who’ve sat in the same chair for ten years getting the same year of experience ten times. Heck, I’ve been there myself; I spent a couple of years as an “accidental DBA” who never really learned that much about SQL Server beyond what the daily firefighting required."

This is something that stuck with me, prompting me to look at things I come across out of necessity at least a tad deeper than necessary.
> The Chinese government owns tiktok

Only figuratively in the hacker/gamer sense. TikTok is owned by ByteSense.

The "TikTok can be used to spy on americans" is much like "Russians interfered in our elections". Both are true, both are legitimately very concerning, but both are also things that the USA has been doing for decades with minimal domestic outcry.

So implicit in our attempts to reign in other countries behavior is that other countries should be attempting to reign in ours. If these are behaviors we think the world would be better off without, the best place to reign in that behavior is by starting with our own government.
It’s sounds like everyone has to join specific servers or something. That will never work, it’s too complicated. You need one server that everyone is on.
You're presuming that every purchase of a commodity -- even gold -- is an investment in it.

People also purchase commodities to consume them. The commodity exits the world o' commodities and the money stays, to be returned to investors.
Couple of years ago we had a power outage during the world series.

So it was my wife, the cats, and I curled up on the couch with a pocket radio listening to the game by the light of an electric lantern.

It's hard to express what a wonderful experience that was. The national broadcast call (ESPN I think) was very good. I'm just not a great fan of my teams current radio team, but this was a really good call. Sitting in the dark was just icing on the cake that helped us focus on the game.
The "correct" way to deal with it is the use of natural predators.

Problem is people often don't like or know how to live with proper apex predators so they get killed off and we have to artificially control animal numbers.

However, in many places, we have introduced non-native species that never had natural predators. Then what?
The winners in 2021 sang Italian metal, the winners in 2022 sang Ukranian rap and folk music. I unfortunately think it's inevitable to get more bland and optimized contributions, but the last winners have shown that the audience likes novelty.
that's interesting. Reminds me of other social media sites where there used to be bomb threats and such. TikTok is clearly kind of the wild west of the internet right now. It still has human moderation which people deliberately game and so far the leadership has evaded public scrutiny.

I have seen other destructive trends happen on TikTok too. I don't know if it is good the things people do to get more followers. The minimum age is 13. It seems like TikTok has a lot of unmoderated content, dangerous trends, and the path to gaining a lot of followers, seems morally grey too.

I can see how TikTok can shape society. Look at how college athletes can earn money on it and promote themselves. Imagine if universities began to recruit athletes with higher TikTok earnings potential and then modify the sport to appeal to that market more. Yes, I am being vague deliberately. It's probably worth asking what effects TikTok has on people.
In the past two weeks, the Mastodon-compatible parts of the Fediverse have gone from 600K active users to 7M active users. George Takei and Elvira are on Mastodon. We'll see how things develop, but this doesn't feel niche anymore.
My personal favorite oversimplification is you shouldn't eat what the average person would try and stop a zookeeper from feeding to a monkey.

Some bread made from acorn flower, cooked butchered meat or hulled rice would be fine, but giving them a Twinkie or Mountain Dew seems like the kind of thing that might lose them their job.
