Couldn’t not surface this gem from their primary plastic to plastic recommendation:

> If you live in the U.S. there is a different formula for Goop than in Canada. The Canadian formula contains perchloroethylene which is a known carcinogenic. The U.S. Goop formula contains toluene, which although is a dangerous solvent, it is not carcinogenic. It is however more flammable. Because the Canadian standards are quite rigid regarding flammables and explosive, Eclectic manufactures a formula for Canada, replacing the toluene with perchloroethylene. Apparently, the people who set these standards in Canada are more concerned with the dangers of fires than cancer!

For what it’s worth, my experience has proven “Lexel” solid. Strong enough to keep the top window panel on my roof top tent locked down across countless thousands of miles, and it sticks to wet surfaces. Meaning when you’re caught lacking in a PNW rainstorm getting soaked in the middle of the night, you can apply the glue then and there to resolve the issue immediately.

Of course you and your stuff will still be soaked. For that I recommend Mexico.
Modern databases give you tools to evolve and refactor a relational schema over time. Views can be such a tool, Postgres also has transactional DDL changes.

You're relying on the idea that all foreign governments care about their citizens scamming Americans. And it literally takes only one government that doesn't care (or isn't able to enforce for whatever reason) for your strategy to be impossible.
The reason I don't switch is because a 0.5L coke has around 210 calories. You're only supposed to consume around ~2000 calories per day, so even with 4 cokes in a day that's almost half of calorie intake. So not an option for me.

> Had a second bout of "issues" when Pepsi sneakily changed from pure sugar to sugar/artificial in their non-max lineup. Took me a while to actually read the label and see WTF happened.

I'm looking at Pepsi's website right now and the ingredients in Pepsi are given as "carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid, natural flavor".

I guess it's theoretically possible that they're including artificial sweeteners under "natural flavor", but somehow I doubt it.
I love simple sites like this - it's a shame that google seems to punish sites like this that contain information that is not often updated (because it does not need to be).
that's interesting, so different locales around the world would operate on different editions. So in the locale you picked up where the old editions were useless they found a home elsewhere in the world. Cool stuff.
Sure, we could have had hacks that would have been faster to implement, but there isn't reason to believe it would have helped. The bottleneck was never in the code. Routers and OSes got v6 support ages ago and it's been working in lots of edu & gov networks all over the world for 20+ years. ISPs just haven't been enabling it.

Lukewarm deployment incentives for ISPs, lack of pull from device/app makers, etc have been the main problems. Apps adapted to the NAT world quickly, users forgot what capabilities they lost and started to fall into the NAT = security cognitive trap.
A fair bit of luck really. Met the CEO at a specific crypto-development conference back in 2016 and we hit off and he gave me an offer right then and there. Initially, had to prove my worth for the first 2 years and when my full-time work and other life events started getting in the way I gave him my two weeks notice and he countered with more money and less day-to-day work so long as he could keep me on "retainer" which he did by creating a board and placing me on it. There's a few other folks on the board which I'm quite certain earn more than I do because they're former Googlers/Apple employees and I have never worked for a FAANG company. Company has taken a big hit over the last 1.5 years due to the poor performance of cryptos recently and waning interest from our existing and potential client base.
That is exceedingly pedantic, and not necessarily correct. The point is that taste buds exist to detect the presence of sugars like sucrose or fructose (and some other substances like sweet proteins), for their high caloric content and easy access to energy. Artificial sweeteners happen to activate those same receptors, but they are neither high in calories nor an easy way to access stored energy, so they are essentially "fooling" those detectors.

Just like we can say that an SQL Injection payload is fooling the server to perform some operation, without having to attribute actual intelligence to a simple program.

There was a diet show ages ago that had a family who used salt like it was ketchup.

They did a baking sheet of fries in the oven and the mom literally put in a handful of salt on it. "Because it doesn't taste like anything otherwise".

They also didn't eat any vegetables for the same reason, the whole family was accustomed to bonkers levels of salt in their food so nothing "natural" tasted like anything to them.

The host had them do a similar thing like Penn's "potato diet" to reset their taste buds and it actually worked.
Roland say that their ACB machines are DSP-based: https://www.rolandus.com/blog/2014/02/14/analog-circuit-beha.... That would include the System 8 and Boutiques. I imagine that the ZenCore stuff runs on some SoC, since it’s all software.

The Korgs I like are analog although that’s typically all controlled digitally. Is their purely digital stuff all that successful?
Wishing good luck with the efforts. This shouldn't be looked at as a competitor to VScode cause it would decimate Pulsar. I hope they have unique features that actually matter to the end user
> This is the only way to learn. You repeat things you know many times to commit them to your memory.

Mindless repetition is not the only way to learn. For many types of things, understanding the rules or knowing the patterns is far more efficient and effective.

We were just talking about German noun genders and plurals elsewhere on this thread. Of course, one can memorise the gender and the plural of every noun in isolation, by rote. But simply knowing a few common patterns would save an incredible amount of effort.

That people buy gift cards at all boggles my mind. You're buying a currency with less versatility (and hence value) for 1:1. Where I live, we have perfectly fine government-issued bills to gift if that's your thing. Somehow, that's considered a bad present? Because it's lazy? Because it doesn't show your opinion on clothes brands? I don't get it, from the consumer's perspective. To the shop/mall it's a clear winner, since you know some receivers won't use their cards. It's a proper arbitrage to them.
Fraud happens when someone does something dishonest to gain unlawful enrichment mostly by fraudulent misrepresentation. The administrator may embezzle and hide the accounts for example, then the scum lawyer try to dissipate all assets in dishonest assistance when exposed the lawyer and administrator had corruptly abused their position of trust. As beneficiary we can file suit for accounting of the estate. Non accounting usually a big red flag. (applies to most countries) - disclaimer - I am not a lawyer. Comments here not legal advice to be taken in any form or shape. YMMV.
I don't see how professionalism is tied to English proficiency. I've spent my whole career with ESL people (me included) and it doesn't really make sense to me.
This article is exactly why I prefer reading the abstracts from primary research articles. The title here is overly suggestive, it is way too wordy, and moreover attempts to suggest more than there might be: (use of the word "harm" in "harmless" rather than something more direct). A better title would be "artificial sweetener may affect blood sugar and XYZ", and it could have summarized the findings in 1500 words instead of 4600. I realize it's a bit unkosher to criticize the article itself here but c'mon....this is over the top.
Is there a way I can contact you personally? I am looking to start a solar plant business in Southeast Asia and would love to connect.

That first laugh at a real joke in a foreign language is precious. I remember reading a collection of short stories for vocabulary, and there was one about a fishing trip going badly anx hilariously wrong. Priceless moment for me and my confidence.
Exactly this.

Artificial sweeteners make your body go "Ooh incoming sugar!" and it "opens up" to receive huge amounts of energy in an easily digestible form.

When no sugar arrives, your body just grabs whatever it can, basically supercharging it's ability to suck out energy from any food.

The anecdotal advice I got was that it's OK to drink artificially sweetened drinks between meals as a snack, that way your body has nothing to grab. Just don't drink them with a meal, use water instead.

Atom and VS Code are literally owned by the same corporation, though, since Microsoft bought GitHub.
Pretty sure it's the other way around - Python used to be something that was "not useful in the day job" and mostly about tinkering. This has changed dramatically over time, so Python is now a lot more popular.
I consider myself pretty quick to detect scams, having worked in cybersecurity, though probably no quicker than the average HN commenter. And yet 15 years ago I fell for the “sell products that are no longer available” scam.

There was a keyboard I really wanted but it was no longer being made. However, I found an online shop that had them in stock! I ordered, paid, got my confirmation, and waited about two weeks before complaining that it hadn’t shipped.

Ended up with some dude from the usual geography for this stuff, yelling at me and threatening me over the phone. At which point I realized it was all fake, told him where to stick it and hung up. It was only $100 or so and I was lucky they didn’t do anything creative with my credit card.

The point being, there are lots of circumstances that can make you let your guard down. Thinking you’re too smart to be at risk is probably not the safest position to take.
> The fact every gamer now expects a tutorial level just demonstrates how much gamers today expect to be hand held.

No, "every gamer" doesn't expect that.

The industry pivoted to these (frankly infuriating) tutorials because the term "gamers" now encompass a much larger number of people. Including those who only play very, very casually.

And there are many games that are extremely challenging and brutal.
Sorry for the delay.

> cognitive toxin

I already regard much human intellectual production as «cognitive toxin» - and humans have the "modules" (I'll try to explain), even when underdeveloped. Now imagine that instead of a "human with them modules, whatever their state of development", you have a I/O box that inside has no actual intelligence (a critical "module"¹), no critical assessment of the quality of the output in all the required dimensions. (¹ "Intelligence" is actually more like a meta-module in this case, keeping more modules in check.)

It may compose a story that, mixing elements from its "learning material" that it blindly judges coherent, mixes typical and random. The real elements of the story, not those of the facts but those of the purposes, will be missing from the parallel structures. When a genius composes, all the structures are checked. When an unintelligent thing composes, those coded-in will be implemented and the others will be easily deliria, with disconnected crumbles instead of structures. A story is not just a succession of events, but a structure of meanings.

...The child, being Intelligent, will notice that and go "WTF?!". Or absorb monsters instead of intellectual products.

A text strong on the structure of "extended grammar of common language", but weak on the structures behind it, is «cognitive toxin», yes. The composer has to be Intelligent and see if there are faults - not just /formal/ faults. If an AGI had two parts judge and improve photorealism in a picture, it may work on making the building more credible, and be oblivious of the purposeless randomness of the situation of Julius Caesar helping Nixon roasting a skyscraper for a picnic of beavers depicted in (that this rarely appears in an automated composition because of the rarity of the links means nothing - a chain even of frequent events remains a random chain. And even a typical chain of frequent events would have no purpose per se).

A text which appears legitimate at a shallow regard may easily be a monstrosity when you consider it attentively.

Make an experiment: have a composer complex-ANN produce a story; read it and ask yourself (e.g.): "What does it teach you"? (This question does not exhaust the mess that could be behind a delirious composition, but is already an important indicator.)

> the English

Admittedly, I treat the language in a possibly uncommon way: I force it around the ideas I want to convey. I compose top down, not bottom up (not starting from the language but starting from the ideas and structures).
An honest question, not trying to be argumentative.

If Signal server is evil and starts to MITM a communication between two parties, replacing each of the parties keys with their own keys and decrypting in the middle, both of the participants will also just get warning “the other party changed their key”, right?

That was the gist of the issue of yesteryear with Guardian and WhatsApp, right?

How is this in practice different? User see a warning and ignores it (as people change their phones thus their keys all the time).

I’m not trying to be snarky but actually asking a question
Wait, about 30% of English vocabulary is of French origin (not to mention other Romance influences). :-)
First, it's not clear that the failure to fall back to losing forward security in the event of one-time prekey exhaustion is a decision - if you simply error in your client code when you try to get a prekey and there aren't any, that could also be because you didn't understand that libsignal will perform that fallback. But the more important point is that the spec is explicit about the importance of trying to prevent exhaustion of one-time prekeys, and their failure to do that is absolutely an issue. I was trying to talk about the consequences of that issue, rather than saying that the decision not to fallback is inherently itself a security concern.
The name sounds like the grunts of frustration from those who played it.

I fell off the Duolingo bandwagon a while ago, but the SRS app that I still use (Tsurukame) lets you mark an answer as correct if you make a mistake; it's super handy. I imagine Duolingo doesn't let you do this because of its gamification -- people would just cheat their way to the top of the leaderboards. On SRS apps where the only goal is learning the content, the only person who you harm by being dishonest is yourself.
Python used to be moated away from enterprise/corporate world as well, and this made Python loveable for the hackers & hobbyists before it went mainstream. So it's the same way around :)

In Python's case the pull was different in quality, it was about a higher level more expressive language that could get more done faster compared to the estabilished corporate/enterprise languages.
As a non native speaker, I find it wild you think it's vs its is harder than punctuation. If somebody can't tell its from it's then they don't know what a verb is, which seems like a much more basic concept than punctuation to me.

I never really thought about it before, but everything on Google Domains is shown in my local currency (CAD) and I'm fairly sure I get billed in local currency. It's nice having everything in my local currency, but they don't do a good job of making it clear the underlying pricing is USD.

I think this person's case is a good example of where that can be problematic. Even if they had paid the correct price originally, they'd be seeing a 35% price increase because of the exchange rate. It's not unreasonable for them to have assumed the original purchase and renewals were always going to be in their local currency without fluctuation due to foreign exchange rates.

I skimmed ICANN's registrar accreditation agreement for info about pricing and it basically says registrars can price domains however they want. The registry agreement has pricing related limitations, so I think the intent is to ensure registries don't engage in abusive pricing with the assumption that competition will keep the registrars honest because registrants can transfer their domain to a new registrar if they're being mistreated.

That leaves this person with no recourse. The registrar (in my opinion) undercharged them and didn't do a good job of communicating the true ongoing cost of the domain. Transferring to a competing registrar doesn't help because the registry pricing for the domain is going to be around $700 USD while the registrant's expectations were set at TRY4360 ($230 USD today).

There aren't any great options to make it right either. The registry can't start discounting domains to fix mistakes made by a registrar, the registrar can't take a loss of $470 / year (at current exchange rates, potentially forever), and the registrant shouldn't have to pay $700 USD / year for a domain they thought was TRY4360 ($230 USD today). To make it worse, the registrant's expectations didn't get reevaluated until the bill for renewal came due and if they've spent a year developing on the domain it feels like extortion (to them).

It's also not fair to expect the registrant to realize they're underpaying. Price differences between registrars are enough for people to assume a low price is the result of finding a registrar with better pricing.

Google Domains isn't the only registrar that gives the impression domains are priced in local currency either. Gandi bills me in CAD and doesn't mention USD when I'm buying domains. Namecheap shows me prices in CAD, but bills in USD and it's not clear USD is the real price rather than simply being the billing currency.

Forget you know the registry sets prices in USD and go pretend to register 6b.dev on Google Domains. Select a foreign currency and see if you can figure out the price will fluctuate based on the exchange rate for USD. I'm not sure where the OP got the idea renewal would only be $12 rather than the TRY4360 they paid originally. There's nothing that left me with that impression.
Take what I'll write next with a spoonful of salt: I think the main culprit for the decline of attention spans is our poor internet browsing hygiene.

When you see social media platforms competing for our attention using clickbait titles, likes and retweets to give us the social component satisfaction that someone out there found what we had to share worth reading, etc. we're reaching a point where if content cannot, at the very least, match the engagement rate then it's not worth consuming.

It's a judgement call on the quality of information but based on how it's presented and not based on the value of the information itself. That's how we end up using the allure of gamification to engage people doing things that should be engaging in their own. Examples are having a tacked on achievement system that gives you a trophy in a video game, or even in the Fireship learning platform.
It's not absurd because even presenting facts like: driving fast is more dangerous, induce fear in many other drivers, cause more pollution including noise pollution, is wasteful (less efficient fuel/component wear wise) meets resistance.

The rational argument would be: "I know more people will die in accidents, more will get cancer, more will live with uncomfortable noise levels and more will travel stressed and in fear but I value this less than my freedom to go 200+km/h.

You about never hear that though because supporting high or no speed limits goes hand in hand with delusional thinking about dangers and harms of driving.
Let's be real here, both sugar and sugar free alternatives are bad.

Who do you think the audience is for the papers published in academic journals? I imagine the intended audience is their peers and therefore the precise, unambiguous language is much more effective at conveying the ideas. Jargon exists for a reason, it isn't invented in a vacuum.

If the audience is the layperson, then of course you are right. The ideas being expressed will be completely lost upon the audience because they won't understand half the terminology used. But I suspect you might be in the minority if you think academic journals are intended to have an audience that broad.

> No, it’s a much more sincere concept than that, from an analysis that workers are forced to do labor which enriches others—in an involuntary exchange for a disproportionately small fraction of the fruits of that labor—rather than doing either the direct labor which would satisfy their own needs or the collective labor whose fruits would be shared by all.

You say that, but that's not at all how it worked when that very thing has been tried by groups like the Khmer Rouge. Who, incidentally, took people from their homes at gunpoint in Phenom Penh, forced them to work for nothing, and even stole their kids from them. You can claim that's an implementation detail, but when you point out that workers collectives have trouble working on a very small scale, that's an indictment of the idea that this idea could work on a national scale, because organizational problems only get harder the bigger you are.

And despite the Khmer Rouge ostensibly doing that for the "collective good", being marched out of your home to farm rice at gunpoint seems to me to be a lot closer to what most people think of as "slavery" than choosing an employer, choosing what type of work to do, being able to obtain free education online for nearly anything, being able to start a business of one's own (including worker collectives, if you wish), and being able to get loans to start that business. All of which are regular activities for us "wage slaves" here.
I've only flown in simulators, but the effectiveness of dead reckoning and pilotage really surprised me as I started getting used to them. Even when I'd accidentally taken a wrong turn twice and only realised much later, I managed to figure out from direction, speed, and time approximately where on the map I was, and then from there lakes and train tracks helped me pinpoint my location exactly enough to draw a new heading to my destination.

I also didn't expect that pilotage would be an incremental process. Sometimes the things I see outside could be any of a number of things on the map, but as I continue to fly in any direction and more landmarks reveal themselves, the selection of possibilities narrow until I know where I am.

I have no idea if any of this is relevant to real flight, of course.
