Scanning the article, I do not see any definition, except that at one place "fresh" is also mentioned.

I assume that "unprocessed" meat refers to meat that is cooked at home, as opposed to buying sausages, ham or any other industrial meat products, which may contain various additives or impurities from techniques like smoking.

This new study still shows an increased probability of cancer when consuming more than 200 g of unprocessed red meat per day, which is indeed more than should normally be eaten.

I have always been skeptical about these claims about the effects of eating meat, because they do not differentiate between the different methods of cooking the meat. I doubt that eating meat that was fried in oil has the same health effects as eating meat that was baked in an oven.
I would like to pass along my master password and safe combination, but those would allow an attacker to help themselves to most of my estate. Is there a way to do that with your service that you feel includes sufficient security?
Other than the pedantic both cured and fermented count as chemically preserved in a broad sense, I think the general modern understanding of "processed foods" means that "ultra-processed foods" per the webmd definition https://www.webmd.com/diet/what-are-processed-foods#:~:text=....

e.g. foods that are doped with additives that don't necessarily occur in the food's base state, including dyes, preservatives, added flavors generated in lab environments, etc.

To be fair I'm not advocating either way, since I'm sure I ate some form of ultra-processed food this morning just by having grocery store brand jelly on my toast, but I think the argument is that by mixing these into the diet frequently there are unknown long-term side effects on the human body by eating these in excess.
> The chaotic way this has all this has all been done, though, seems like an extremely risky way to run any of kind of business.

The chaotic way he is doing it is one of the reasons he said the company needed to go private. If you made these sweeping changes to a company that is public you're getting fired.

Also, I think doing a massive sweeping changes all in one go and changing the culture straight away is better than the other option. I've been part of companies while they've changed cultures slowly. Everyone left, just slowly and it was a constant reminder how much things had changed and how bad things were in comparison because everytime someone left it was a "yea, they finally see it".

Right now, Twitter will have lots of people who are quite simply unhappy because Musk. From a HR and company view, these are people you want/need to get rid of. Disengaged employees are a massive drain, actively disengaged are an even bigger drain. They affect the ones who are engaged and can drag a team/company down.

What annoys me is, every time Musk tweets something about the tech at Twitter people think he's gone in and had a look at things and came to that opinion instead of being told it.

For example, the 1200 RPCs for the timeline to be loaded in the app. Everyone jumps on the fact those requests are done server-side instead of the app. Basically jumping on a technicality. If they are making 1200 RPCs via GraphQL that is still completely nuts. And the performance of Twitter isn't exactly good.

Another example, he said they were turning off 20% of the microservices. The sms microservice got disabled or something. People act like he was the one deciding which ones get turned off. Instead of it being someone whose job it is to know this screwing up.

Another thing that grinds my gears, people care more about the Twitter tech team making 300k a year not getting a free lunch than they do about Bezos and his army of people having to pee in bottles for 30k a year.
That came up in the Freakonomics episode about apologies. If you make a promise but fail to deliver, the result will be worse than just not apologizing at all.
Depends on the bacon. You can get uncured bacon without any added nitrates or flavorings at all.
> The whole "free speech" absolutism thing is thinly veiled political pandering.

I disagree. There were clearly political biases at play when it came to censoring/removing people from Twitter. Regardless of what side of the political aisle you're on that should be a huge issue.
I'm looking forward to the South Park episode(s) that this will inspire.
It happened with equal systematic design for our own species, for which this article prompted me to spend ten minutes to read through this [0] again.

Though to be honest, the German wikipedia article paints a way more visceral picture of the systematic murders. The english version does not scare the reader, which I see as an oversight.

Edit: The German version includes the deception of the victims, to keep them calm, which is what reminded me of the article.

> "Unprocessed" seems to be the key word that the headline skips

The cancer claims haven't been specifically against things like hot dogs, sausages, pepperoni sticks, etc., but red meat. When the term "red meat" is used, that's implying anything containing red-looking meat from large ruminant animals.

> plus the one specific risk category

That's because that's the only risk category that anyone thought was credible up to this point. There are no risk categories for red meat, besides perhaps that one can overeat protein. That's really hard to do, especially with red meat.

> But ignoring that, the article is further confirmation that you should eat more vegetables and less processed meat,

There is no sound scientific evidence that anyone should eat more vegetables. People are certainly free to eat vegetables, they can be pretty tasty, and some may come with their own individual benefits, but there's nothing inherent to vegetables as a category that means we should simply consume more of them. Vegetables have their own drawbacks and contain various substances that are contraindicated in humans. Vegetables may be better than processed foods on a case by case basis, but not as a group. Humans aren't specialized in consuming them as a primary source of nutrition.

> like your doctors have been telling you

"Your doctors" know f--- all about nutrition. General practitioners are not nutritionists and are not trained in nutrition. Their job is to prescribe pills or send you to a specialist.
The Bank of Japan is 55% (100% voting interest) owned by the government. I’ve seen this same scheme before in the Alameda/FTX news…
According to the National Council for Animal Protection, over 99% of beef farmed for meat comes from cows that live in horrific factory farm environments.

Does the remaining 1% matter all that much in the conversation?
I don't want to speak like I'm some kind of expert on the state of nutrition research, but I at least follow expert summaries more closely than most people, meaning following science-minded folks in the evidence-based health and fitness communities, not popular science publishing.

My impression is that this is not really a problem with the research itself. There's the well-known problem of science journalists turning every finding into vastly simplified and often flat wrong clickbait. But there is a separate issue with recommendation bodies being very conservative and slow to change a recommendation. In all the time I've been paying attention, which is years now, every published finding about risks from red meat has pretty much exclusively been from processed and charred meats, with the risk clearly coming from nitrates and carbon, not from the meat itself.

I don't personally "like" this finding. I live in Texas, love brisket, got seriously into smoking meats for years in my 30s, but there is no way I can look at all the evidence that's come out and conclude anything other than that eating smoked meat on a regular basis for decades is going to increase risk. But at the same time, I have nothing to make me believe that simply eating red meat at all that has not been smoked or charred and otherwise modified in some way to extend shelf life, is going to increase risk. And the studies themselves never claimed this. It's health agencies and science journalism that chose to make this interpretation without it being justified, whether out of an abundance of caution or just to grab eyeballs.
A different take is that rocketry engineers and automobile engineers were not as spoiled as electrical engineers
It is an extraordinary claim, and no it's not widely known and documented. I can't find any reliable Google results on it at all that indicates it's a common ongoing practice.

And your explanation makes no sense, because prices are advertised clearly in searching long before any "I'm from country X" dropdown, which only appears in the final stages of booking. Prices don't change after you put in your driver's license nationality.

Nor are you providing a single link to any site where anyone can test it out. So yes, it seems like a myth, an extraordinary claim that does require, well not extraordinary evidence, but just evidence at all.
It's shut down.

Ah I see, you're not defending Linode's heavy-handed process, you're just explaining it more accurately.
> Just eat minimally processed whole foods as often as possible ...

Fully agree with your take except for "eat [...] as often as possible" part. For instance, intermittent fasting is effective exactly because of not eating often.
Hmmm, I wouldn't call it scalable. The storage is pluggable though, and it can be made to scale that way.
But it holds a lot of data locally, and seems to do a reasonable job. "Loading" means indexing everything, so nothing is available until the index is done, and that can take a few minutes if you're trying to load GBs. However, it's usually very fast to query.
I don't have an explicit schema yet, though I'm working on adding something like Datomic's schema as an option. (this is important for things like upsert, or just updating entity attributes instead of appending new attributes)
Isn't that the point of the sandbox?
> C is not ideal, but it's a practical way to gate the entry to critical software

Aw, yes, the C makes genius programmers meme. I think we've seen very little evidence this is the case. C may be useful to know. Learning C well, because it is difficult, may be useful. These things are speculative, but let's grant them. Unfortunately for you, the proof of the pudding is in the eating? The fact that lots of C code has lots of problems should be an indication that, not only is C not working to solve many modern problems, but that, if C gives us geniuses, we aren't seeing the results.

The free world should look very closely at this incident in its pursuit of general AI development. Suppose some company has developed a super powerful AI system, which became crucial for a lot of public services, like healthcare, city planning, infrastructure routines (e.g. energy and transportation), etc. Then a guy with hyper-inflated ego and shady financial assets (probably supplied by fascists dictatorships) buys this company. He then fires all employees and takes control of everything, eventually ruining everything to the ground, making the life of millions of people miserable. Is this what our societies want to allow in the future?
Other animals do the same. Dolphins and whales will create bubble nets and dive into them scooping up fish or krill until they're completely full. Seabirds then swoop in in droves and devour any fish left as they panic and jump into the air. Lions and other predators would run killing floors if their prey weren't so unbelievably fast with dangerous hooves and antlers. We just do it so efficiently that it's disgusting, and we do it for profit rather than subsistence.
Only a matter of time until the metrics of carbon foot print of the food industry are proven to be based on shoddy research too I suppose.
I find it hilarious that the Silicon Valley Apparatik thinks that NOW an alternate is needed. Gab, GTTR, Parler, Frank Speech, Truth Social have all existed for some time. And with the exception of Gab, the others have almost identical TOS agreements to Twitter.
Isn't this the same fiat just instead of being paper-printed, e-printed? Another distribution medium for essentially the same thing?
That was beutifully written.

Although, I feel like very often, the idea of resucing boilerplate should __not__ to hide the boilerplate one layer below- it should be to __try not to write the boilerplate__ …

Take this very specific example at hand.. What is the meaning of this “JoelEvent” class? Why is it there?

It appears that is wraps a list of functions, with methods to push and pop from it. Why is it necessary to write them?

“Dispatch” reimplements function application , apparently? Btw, it is beyond me why one would loop over this.listeners and the check if the element is in this.listeners .

In a reasonable language or framework, I cannot in any way see a reason why this code needs to be written.. This is the idea of removing boilerplate, to me!
> Had he hired an adult and done all of those changes with some thought instead of what he did I doubt anyone would have batted an eye.

That's because pg is doing his typical responding to what he imagines the plebs to be saying instead of what is actually being said. People have made very clear, and frankly obvious, criticisms of Elon's obviously horrible mismanagement and instead of engaging with any of them specifically, pg loves to fall back to his "entrepreneurs are special magical unicorns that the unenlightened masses can never even begin to understand" schtick.

How would an App Store possibly know? Surveillance often happens out of band, and under foreign jurisdiction. The apps themselves may not even know or may be prohibited from disclosing it.
The VCs all seem really giddy about the situation. I think it's because the labor power tech workers represents terrifies them. They know that technology can be built without venture capital just slowly and perhaps in different directions, but venture capital alone needs tech workers to realize its visions. These guys can't get rich without the consent of the "laptop class" they talk about so spitefully. Finally they get to watch a bunch of those people suffer for no reason. PG is just enjoying the cruelty here.
For moderate to high temperature cooking I use either ghee or beef tallow. For deep frying, beef tallow is the best.

Both of them are easy to make at home and last for months in the fridge or at room temperature.
An idea that pops up more and more often in my head is to create a SQLite wrapper library that basically treats SQLite like Datalog.

I know way too little about Datalog, but it goes something like this:

1.
create helper functions to create/alter/drop tables.

2.
create helper functions for insert/select/update/delete queries, etc. Probably with the same syntax as in Datomic / Asami / etc.

3.
each table its name would be a Datalog "attribute", and would have 2 columns: the "id" and the "value". "id" would be indexed, "value" would be a value or a foreign key to another table.

I guess writes would be slow if everything you insert into the DB is indexed, not sure what the other downsides would be.
I had to eventually disable inbound PMs because the "offers to gain money working online" were just too many. So your mileage may vary.

The article never claims that anywhere.

That makes it hard to interpret your comment because there are a few places where the article slightly conflates a non-existent key with value == None and maybe you're obliquely referring to one of those, but I'm not sure which one. All of them are OK so long as the dictionary doesn't have having any values equal to None, which it should really spell out but is obviously implied. Actually, most of them even require that none of the values are falsey (e.g. 0, empty list, None, or indeed False).

It would actually be possible to work around that but still fundamentally use the same ideas by using a sentinel value:

# At file scope, not exposed
_not_present_sentinel = object()
# Version B
def read(self, id_: str) -> Item:
result = self.items.get(id_, _not_present_sentinel)
if result is _not_present_sentinel:
raise ItemNotFound(id_)
return result
Neat! Does someone know why there is a band of white/blue galaxies between the redshifted ones and the edge of the universe? I would've assumed it kept getting redder!

It's also helpful to note that slaughterhouses have broad, measured psychological impacts on the community. They are often pushed to butcher at unsafe speeds and the killing of animals for an entire work day has a negative impact on the mental health of the workers. The installation of a new slaughterhouse has been associated with increased crime, domestic violence, and drug abuse in the community, and isn't replicated in new factories for manufacturing, lumber processing, paper mills or other similarly sized factories.
I'll eat more red meat if anyone could link a study that shows more red meat consumption is linked to LESS cancer mortality. Thanks!

I think there is an idealistic vision behind Twitter that’s poorly articulated - Jack Dorsey definitely had one.

There’s something to a platform with strong speech protections that tries to give publication access to everyone in the world.

Compare the coverage of FTX on Twitter vs. legacy media - most of it is happening on Twitter and at higher quality. Legacy media outlets are being duped by Rahul Ligma repeatedly.

I think there’s something there that a visionary leader could rally people behind, the company has just largely not had one so far with any kind of power to do it.

Although Rust for Linux has its own alloc, that isn't really alloc. It is like if you wanted Coke and got Pepsi, if you just wanted fizzy brown beverage you're fine, but if you actually cared this isn't OK.

Rust's String (the mutable owned string type from alloc) implements AddAssign meaning you can write fname += ".txt" and that works, but Rust for Linux doesn't allow that. This is just a really obvious example, there are many other differences
This assumes something that's not evident: that Trump Republicans have something like a coherent agenda. Evidence from Trump's first impeachment is that he ran US foreign policy as a means to personal enrichment. A lot of the minor Republicans cited in this article have given us no sense they're at all competent, Bannon, Hawley, J.D. Vance, none of them seem to be able to do things that aren't corrupt or just dumb.
No, but people have taken it upon themselves to make bigotry a political identity so the removal of hate speech feels like political censorship...

“Build a local clone” — the obvious answer is that both Instagram and Snapchat already have; and that nobody wants to switch. If only the US blocked TikTok, that’d just mean there’d still be a TikTok that every other western country has access to except the US, full of content interesting to Westerners. People with Android devices would just sideload it, and use VPNs to access it if necessary.

The less-obvious answer: TikTok is the local clone, in a sense. It’s a separate app from the Chinese Douyin app.

Personally, I’d suggest copying China’s own strategy here: tell ByteDance that if they want to operate in the US, it has to be through a contract with a non-owned US company staffed by US citizens. Essentially making TikTok into an American company that just happens to license some Chinese software IP.
I understand, and hope we can keep the conversation sober going forward.

To answer your questions without any use of metaphors:

I do not know whether Crypto is a good or a bad idea. I am merely trying not to be presumptive about it.

The horse metaphor is an attempt to lead some attention to the fact that we several times in the history have seen long adaptation time for certain technologies we benefit from on large scale.
Right, because in Rust, we'll all be singing kumbaya.
Well, its hard when you say things like "every other car maker". Other car makers are starting to do some of the same things, but sometimes these are things Tesla did first.

For example, both Lucid and Rivian use round cells for batteries. BMW is exploring the 4680 form factor. Most other manufacturers still do not use round cells.

Tesla is using large castings for major parts of the frame. I think Volvo is starting to do this? Its not entirely a new trend, but again, Tesla was the first in the auto industry to do it this way.

The way Tesla does the structural pack for the 4680 is unique as well at the moment.

Having said that, I think Tesla people overstate the customer significance of all of these things. The real impact is technically interesting, but isn't really making a big difference in the outcome of the vehicles.

There are other EVs that charge faster and are significantly cheaper too, now that Tesla keeps raising prices.
I see a sharp difference between preventing Chinese IP addresses from accessing whatever they would like, and allowing Chinese corporations to profit from the West's liberty while denying it to their subjects.

So, no, that is not my response at all. There is no technology involved in kicking these corporations out of the civilized world, just political will.
Raw beans and lentils are poisonous when uncooked, as is rice.
Leaving aside adoption, there is a degree to which HN is impressed that Tailscale has taken a set of technical problems that have caused many of us pain over the years and that drive some less than ideal setups and just made them go away. They are magically taken care of behind an easy to use setup that Just Works. There's basically none of the "you have to tweak this setting under this circumstance" needed to get it working. That is difficult engineering requiring people who understand the problem domain and have a clear picture of the right architecture, as well as good product engineering.
I suspect you right to some extent. But "survive" has two meanings: 1) keep the site up and running, and 2) make money. A site of this size earns gobs more money with just a small fractional increase in traffic. I have no doubt Twitter can stay running on a skeleton crew, but can it earn more revenue in the long run than it would have with a larger crew.
I think part of the issue is that people that would be most motivated to work at twitter, those looking to really effect change through their job there, are mostly political ideologues.
