Nope. But that seems to be a claim in the article. And that the various sources of an identical chemical make for drastically different experiences.

If the article were just "truffles are more than this one chemical compound, and you're being lied to about truffle flavoring on your fries," I would have commented differently (or maybe not at all.) But the article is too busy being elitist to make a reasonable argument like "truffles are more than this one chemical compound..."
Aviation safety is incredible.
"Events" happen. But all the people got out.

I support universal healthcare, I just don't think it's going to happen in America.

Right now the answer seems to be 'take as much from the young as you can and guarantee them nothing' and that's not sustainable. It's just that most of the young can avoid looking at this reality until they have a health problem.
as someone who used to have exactly this sort of internalized shame, i think you've hit the nail on the head 100%.

let's look at the statement: "biologically speaking, naked bodies arouse a sexual reaction".

i'm wary of this way of thinking. here's one possible consequence: "anyone who chooses to be naked around me is trying to interact in a sexual way"

when boiled down, the same root of thought leads to dark conclusions, like

- "she was asking for it because she wore revealing clothing"

- "i was sexually aroused and therefore couldn't control myself"
I don’t think malware was confirmed to be installed on FTX apps. They were just saying that IF it was hacked then the bad actors could add malware.

(There is a lot of discussion on paid instances on mastodon. There is also e.g https://masto.host/ for a managed solution.)
It all depends on how friendship is defined. There are shallow friendship and deep friendship.

Pre-pandemic, I liked "meetup" or other similar groups. You can make a lot of friends fast at a Haskell meetup, or at a retrocomputing users group. I suppose they're starting to come back....
I honestly wonder if these various social networks / Twitter clones are solutions in search of a problem. Do most people really care to comunícate with each other in this manner any more? What’s the point?

It seems to me (anecdotal, so I’m interested in your views) that the use-case for reasoned argument has moved to podcasts and substack and the use-case for group comms has moved to discord. Meanwhile, feed-style networks, which were always junk food disguised as nutrition, have been displaced by TikTok, which is more like digital crack.
Sounds like an operational Challenge but with billions on the line people will consider it.

Perhaps one or two if the multisig holders are already on board and will "reassure" the others that everything is fine.

Or one government (like the US) coordinates with others to get it done.
I guess I see all of the straws he's grasping at there, but honestly, most of those "downsides" of Mastadon sound like good things to me. I guess that's why I killed my Twitter account years ago.
This is a hard take on mastodon. I've moved over in the last week or two and it's been a pretty good experience. I think there will be some growth in mastodon with more and more users involved in it as well.

Does a confederation of instances have it's issues? Sure. But we've already solved a lot of that with email for a long time anyway. I view mastodon/activityPub as almost an analog of email in the "social media" space. With time and use, it has every opportunity to become the mainstream used service for these types of needs imo. It 'solves' alot of problems that centralized social media systems bring, with only some of the detriments (imo).
There's a certain tone to this whole story that makes me chuckle. Far more people are eating pizza and hot dogs and box mac and cheese, but the news story is about making one of the most expensive, elitist, niche foods vegan, like it's some sort of necessary triumph on the path forward for humanity.
eh, sure it’s fake, and of course it is, truffles are too rare and expensive to show up at the supermarket or on the shake shack menu. but good truffle essence is a complex melange of flavor compounds and not just 2,4-dithiapentane which provides the musky fungal base but none of the sweetness and spice that you also find in a good truffle “essence “. anyway yes if you’re paying less than $100 for the dish it’s probably not real italian white truffle
For sure but it isn't drowned out by non-porn if you look for it is what I mean.
A short book called 'Principles of Spiritual Growth' by Miles Stanford really helped explain Christianity to me in a way that churches, pastors, never did, and helped me move away from fear-based beliefs to ones about forgiveness. Really changed the tone and direction of my life.
I built a little Golang lambda on top of Unidoc/Unipdf to simply populate form fields on PDFs and return a combined and flattened PDF. Nothing fancy, but it's fast and reliable and replaces a use case we had for DocuSign (very slow), saving hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
No, this is not true at all. It is a certain _mathematical_ construction. It has nothing to do with society.
Given the specific definition of addition in the field of real numbers, the statement 1 + 1 = 2 is true in any society.

> but all “axioms” are social constructs

Again, they are mathematical constructs. Axioms don't have anything to do with society. I can construct any axiom I want, and derive true statements from it. Perhaps the only "social" thing here is what axioms we generally deem interesting enough to investigate - this does not change the facts derived from them.

> that we use to create hopefully useful models.

I think you underestimate pure mathematics :)
I would urge him to put it back online, it is interesting and can be useful. Just don't make a press release about it, journalists ruin everything.

Cryonics service providers do that. Here's an example from Alcor, the largest: https://www.alcor.org/library/the-alcor-patient-care-trusts/

"At Alcor, patient storage costs are paid from two separate but interrelated Trusts: the Alcor Patient Care Trust, and the Alcor Care Trust Supporting Organization. … This conservative funding arrangement is designed to cover the cost of patient storage solely from the income from the Trusts, thereby assuring that such funding will continue indefinitely into the future."

Are you able to e.g. install apps without an apple account? I seem to recall simple things like that wasn't possible unless you had signed into an apple account.
This is basically my argument here as well. Fully agree.
According to my Javascript console (using IEEE754 double precision), 1e308+1e308 equals Infinity. That's not "actual infinity".
Perhaps the main quantitative difference is that on average you spend considerably less time with your friends as an adult than you did as a child.
Except that native menus don’t really work like that. They have a nontrivial interplay between hovering and mousedown/mouseup that you can’t replicate with just CSS. Not to speak of the missing keyboard functionality.
Internet security has, in my experience, always been about "being just hard enough a target the bad actors decide to go torment somebody else."

It was true twenty years ago too, the only difference I can see between then and now is that you can outsource that task for a (relatively) small amount of money if you want to.

Then again, the last time I dealt with a site under DDoS, something in their stack was leaking the underlying IP (never did figure out what) but it turned out that "finding a provider who'd sell them a decent sized server and charge them for the bandwidth" was perfectly economical for their use case because their haters' firepower was insufficient compared to their revenue.

(I'd love to be less vague here but I'm sure readers can see the obvious professional ethics issues with doing so)
These rankings are all very silly. You should find the best program, faculty and institution that works for your needs.
Any idea why a serial liar lied once again? In an interview where he basically admits to his public persona having been fake and almost everything he said in interviews over the past years being untrue. It's not the only thing that seems untrue in that interview, because it's been reported he had a special setup that let him transfer funds and cook the books without even regular employees noticing. It wasn't simply a series of unfortunate mistakes, everything points towards his companies having been setup for fraud.

I find some of the takes on this sub really amazing. The real question you should ask yourself is why did Vox never disclose in previous hype pieces they did on this person that they received a grant from his "philanthropic" 'Building a Stronger Future' foundation. Only after the implosion of FTX and Alameda have they added a disclaimer to relevant articles.

How naive is HN?
I've contacted with toptal, just for curiosity, to ask questions, because on their site I have not seen clear instructions.

First words they said me, even don't asking what I'm looking for, that I should book interview to next week, if fail, next time not earlier than in 6 months, and after 3 fails ban forever. I don't think, this is normal talk.
Better for scitechies to execute than decide on the big picture of leadership.

How do you mean? It's an article about the smallest amount of CSS you need to make a website.
I don’t see what’s interesting or intellectually gratifying about this at all. It reads like an advertisement for that startup company. What did they technically achieve here?
I only eat truffles in Michelin star restaurants in the US, it’s truly ridiculous how out if control food quality and legitimacy is in the US. Here if you find truffle oil it’s basically guaranteed to contain no (or minimal) real truffle, and the oil may not even be real olive oil.

You can get fantastic high quality food in the US, but it’s few and far between with a very high cost compared to average quality in Europe.
I have an idea. Hire a bunch of lobbyists to advocate legalizing scalping, then allow the biggest monopolist ticketing middleman to setup the largest resale marketplace.

Then, we act surprised when “hackers” somehow are able to defeat the anti-bot systems and resell (with another set of fees) bulk quantities of tickets on said resale marketplace.

I take your point, though you're not directly comparing like with like. I'd used a literal translation of (V, E) so listed vertices explicitly as well as edges. Using implicit representation (as you have), the json could be simplified to [["v1", "v2"], ["v1", "v3"]]. Still more syntax, definitely. But not far off, for example, the graphviz[0] equivalent in syntax overhead terms:

graph {
v1 -- v2;
v1 -- v3;
}

To be clear, I'm no apologist for json. It just seemed to me there was a pretty direct representation. @rzzzt's observation on json being predominantly hierarchical and therefore tree-shaped seems like the most likely reason behond the original statement.

My app has some huge tree (CRUD-able). Say 20k-30k nodes (sweet spots for being usable without virtualizaion). And Chrome perf sucks real bad for "Recalculate Style" phrase" the `.tree ul li::before{content:''}` is going to be ruining perf. Meanwhile firefox is wicked fast for overall perf for lots of dom nodes.
The article author spends much time focused on this one chemical compound. They should have made their argument about the complexities of truffles versus the simplicity of chemical compounds.
@jeremyjh I genuinely appreciate your comments! Allow me to kindly respond...

> ...best way to follow my interests...

If you're still stuck on the topic of following interests, may i direct your attention to the following website: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basi...

And, once you have completed that section, i invite you to click around the different sections available at the top nav of the above website. I have no affiliation, but have found it handy to give out to newcomers to the Fediverse - regardless if such newcomers are using the Mastodon *software*, or pixelfed, or funkwhale instances, etc. The "Beginners Start Here" area of the website is a section i highly suggest you and all newcomers to spend time reviewing.

> ...How much time will the average twitter user invest into this?

I'm detecting in your statement that there is an assumption that the commercial socials (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and the Fediverse have the same goals....but i believe they differ. Most instances on the Fedi are cool with being village-sized communities that can easily interconnect with all/many other village-sized communities...The Fedi's goal is not to have a single, massive commercializable silo. There is no such overacrhing goial to scale up at all cost, as might exist for commercial services. While, there are no doubt paid Fedi instances that legitimately are commercial by their definiton and operation, their goals are not as audacious as the entities coming out of Silicon Valley. So, if some newcomers struggle during onboarding, while i never want to see people struggle, maybe its not the end of the world if newcomers have to invest a little time in learning the ways and customs of what amounts to a new world for them.

> ...I'm just...skeptical it can take off...

You have every right to your opinion of course! That being said, as I noted above, the Fedi cares less if it "takes off". Its goals are more about quality of connections rather than numbers of connections. Richer and more fulfilling interactions are sought after, while brazen increases of follower counts are not.

I should also clarify facts here: Mastodon - the software and initial instance/server - only started life late 2016. While the greater Fediverse (that mastodon is only one part of) has been in existence since around 2008. Yes, that's right, none of this is new! Not the networks, nor the latest wave of newcomers. So, while you (and some other newcomers) doubt this will take off - well before this latest wave of newcomers - there have been already millions of active users interacting with each other for almost a decade and a half.

If you're willing to invest a little time/effort, then please by all means do participate on the Fediverse, and enjoy. But, if you don't think it is worth it, that's fine too; no harm, no foul.

I Googled about pine nuts. Here is what Wiki says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nut

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, only 29 species provide edible nuts, while 20 are traded locally or internationally

Right there: The term "pine nut" is generic. Probably, the "Italian" ones that you like are a particular species. Are you really sure they are Italian, or actually grown in a neighboring country, then through the magic of "last step processing" imported and repackaged as "Italian"? Italy is famous for it in international trade. And, the "Chinese" ones (it is a massive country after all -- same size as EU?) are a different species -- perhaps less tasty. My guess: Pine nuts are very labor intensive. As a result, imported pine nuts from developing countries are much cheaper than those from developed Italy.
The Myth of the Tech God Is Crumbling
True, though there's a lot going on. Urban design used to force more chance interactions and we're more physically isolated now, among other things. Sit next to someone on the bus or walk alongside them to the well? Strike up a conversation (unless you're British in which case I guess you sit on the bus in silence). Drive alongside them on the way to the grocery store? Not much chance to say hi there.
Thanks for that info. Apparently, I'm falling behind enough that I didn't even realize that Terraform had its own CDK as well.

I personally agree with you about CloudFormation. I dislike everything about it.

I think the people who build the Terraform and Pulumi ecosystems are plain and simple better architects than AWS employees.

I make that relatively blind assumption because I've done an interview for AWS. They optimize their hiring process for hiring blindly loyal drones. They want you to memorize company values and relate everything you've ever done to each and every value. They make you read them off a list one-by-one. It felt so dystopian to me.

AWS seems like the last place a creative, talented developer would want to go. The phone screen would scare most of them off.

Tech is full of smart people who build, run and invest in successful companies that have produced a tremendous amount of innovation. But the industry’s recent spate of failures and reversals has made one thing clear: Many of its leaders aren’t as smart as they thought they were.

Just this month, a pair of the world’s mightiest tech names, Amazon.com and Facebook parent Meta Platforms, announced broad layoffs after years of breakneck hiring. Another giant, Google parent Alphabet, came under pressure from an activist investor to slash its costs. Some of the biggest names in venture investing, including Sequoia Capital and SoftBank Group, were left trying to figure out what went wrong after FTX, the $32 billion golden child of the crypto boom, imploded. And Elon Musk, who perhaps more than anyone embodies the idea of the polymath tech genius, has made a mess of Twitter after paying $44 billion to buy it.

Silicon Valley has long seemed to operate on a foundational myth that its leading lights, having mastered an alchemy of electronics, code and early stage investing, are not just a breed apart, but could also defy the gravitational laws of business and investment that apply to mere mortals. According to their articles of faith, their special powers of disruption could transform any industry, while generating outsize returns making them worthy of magazine covers and tremendous wealth.

I'm not sure how joinmastodon.org can improve its UX for sign-up. It seems as simple as it can be right now, without just piling everyone onto mastodon.social. Any ideas?

Perhaps a "pick what topics you like, and here's a couple recommended, open servers" thing? Maybe that picker can even lead directly into the server's sign-up form.
ok. that is super cool. thank you for making this nice piece of tech. hopefully it can be integrated into more stuff
Not sure if you're being sarcastic!

In the end for any scraping they're just raising the barrier of entry. Automated browsers, residential proxies, captcha services just make it more involved for those determined to hit a URL successfully.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but the line and grey area and the definition of a 'legitimate' request varies, and one entity as a middle-man deciding that is less than ideal.
I don't know if it solves your entire use case, but in PowerShell you can change the interface metric number to rearrange connection priorities (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-server/networking/...). You have to watch out to pick the right interface (Hyper-V takes over packet routing from your real network adapter in many cases) but it may be worth looking into. Higher metric number means lower priority, so setting the bad connection to a metric of 100 and the real uplink to a metric of 5 may resolve your problem.

In Windows 2000-8.1 the control panel GUI was the standard way of accomplishing this, but in modern Windows 10/11 I doubt Microsoft has the setting still accessible. There are still guides out there with screenshots, though: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-priority-order-net...

The automatic metric detection system bases its decision on network speed (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-serve...) so virtual 10gbps adapters can cause problems if you use a common network adapter and the custom settings for Hyper-V and such get messed up.
The employee shaming on here has scared away all the people with interesting war stories from big companies. Anyone active on HN nowadays probably hasn't worked on anything significant.
I used to grow my own in Australia, as a hobby, patience is the hardest part really. 5-7 years after planting seems to be needed.

At one stage I was the northern most producer of truffles (very few produced actually but I only had 40 trees and didn't really look after them to the utmost detail) in the southern hemisphere, then a guy 150km further north, and in soil that was near total sand, got some to grow. This was totally unexpected.

It seems the conditions required are not quite so special as thought, and some totally unsuited conditions (as previously thought) might be good due to reduced competition from other fungi.

The action of inoculating trees is simple as well, get a ripe couple of real truffles, blender them up and pour it over the small saplings in pots, if the mycorrhizal sets in you can see it as white bits on the roots. (I think you need two, but not even sure on that).

A wide range of trees will work, oak, hazel, cork to name a few. There is a preferred pH range for the soil, as would be expected for all fungi pH has a strong role to play.

There has been a lot of secrecy enshrouding the whole game for a long time.

I refer only to Tuber melanosporum in the above, I am not sure anyone has been able to get the white truffles growing out of the wild, there will be some special condition or symbiosis with an animal or something that is needed, but not understood yet.

Where do you get this impression? The article was clearly written for American audiences, and the sociologist Rawlins clearly focuses on American society.

You make it sound like they are just talking out of their rear end, making things up based on their own privileged and unrepresentative personal experience, but my impression is that their opinion is formed by their own research, which might be a couple decades old, but is probably still relevant.

If there's anything to complain about here, is that Americans tend to forget that there is a world outside of the USA.
I know we are having a bad year but it is funny see him say: 'put all your money in VTSAX' and you click the link and it says "YTD returns: -16.9%".

In a year like this only losing 17% might be considered doing really well though.
