> ...got tired of debating whether it was healthy or not...

I've had a similar experience. "unhealthy" seems to often be used in place of "not normal."

I don't blame them. Advertising has been pushing "normal" food choices for 100+ years. Social gatherings are focused too much on eating. People are shamed for being "skin and bones."

I've been doing it for more than 10 years. I never get hunger pangs. I don't feel the need to eat something before leaving the house, or stopping at a drive-thru while out. I'm able to make better food choices. It doesn't mean I starve myself, or abstain from eating lunch/dinner with friends. I get all necessary calories for whatever my goals are (ie fat loss, maintenance, or weight gain).

Constant calorie intake from accessible food products designed to sit on store shelves for months should be considered not normal and unhealthy.
The number to compare to would be the fraction of "readers" who actually read (most of) the article. I have a hunch it's also a small fraction.
First principles is far from the best approach to learning. Learning is a means to an end: we learn to use tools so that we can use them. If a tool is built in such a way that I don’t need to understand the underlying technology then that’s a good thing, because it means I can gain value from the tool faster.

I, personally, started writing HTML and CSS long before any of the tools we are discussing existed, CSS Zen Garden was state of the art back when I was learning… and nowadays I am very thankful that I don’t need to keep all of the esoteric aspects of CSS in my head when styling my HTML.

The most effective method for learning is the method that keeps the learner interested, and for most people, that’s the method that gets them to results the quickest. If you want to start learning how to make webpages by doing a deep dive on the DOM and WebKit, great, but that’s not the path for most people.
Yes, it uses the same API backend as the other commercial e file systems.
How feasible is transmitting power from a central point to everywhere on the continent? Wouldn't the losses make this a nonstarter?

A single power plant is a single source of failure. Handing over the nation's power needs to a prototype is insane.

Finally, if power could be effectively transmitted cross-continent, why not choose other proven ideas? A huge solar array in the desert? An enormous offshore wind farm? A hydro dam that doesn't exist to grow alfalfa (hey-o!)?
This is a bit of a silly take in my opinion. This bit, "The schools—which serve a racially diverse group of students, most of whom are from low-income families", sounds just like editorializing to me.

That is, it was just a test in NY public schools, not like they specifically sought out low income or underperforming schools, it's just that public schools in NYC have a much higher rate of low income families.

This is only true if your primary game preference is casual games. The mac studio lacks a discrete graphics card. Ignoring the OS, the whole ARM vs x86, and Rosetta, wine, whatever stumbling blocks - just lack of a discrete GPU is enough to make it a no-go as a serious gaming rig. This isn't just me talking out of my neck either. I have 3 rigs I keep around my desk, and one of them is a mac studio. Great for dev and video editing, but for gaming not so much.

Edit: "Why do you need 3 computers?" - I regularly switch between Windows, Ubuntu & MacOS, and I don't like dinking with switching my monitor inputs, dual booting or remoting in. Rather just swivel my chair. Yes I fully realize how ridiculous this is. Some people like nice cars. I like wasting money on computers apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> > Rarely do we even consider that the cost of doing something might outweigh the benefits.

> Cost vs benefit is the main thing that people consider when making decisions.

This article also makes the mistake of equation "we", the average reader of the blog, with the doctors who are making prescribing decisions.

Understanding the risks and side effects of prescribing a medication or procedure is core to the practice of medicine. It's integral to everything doctors do.

The field of medicine is often criticized for not being aggressive enough with treatments, though these criticisms often come from people who only see the potential upside but not the risks. We saw this most recently with complaints about how long the FDA took to get vaccines out (which was actually lightning fast) or in how the field of medicine didn't rush to recommend theoretical COVID treatments based on small-scale studies and petri dish studies (which turned out to be the right choice, given that none of them replicated at scale in controlled studies).

It's also the reason why the most effective medication may not be the first-line treatment, because the first-line treatment is chosen as a tradeoff of risks versus benefits.

Doctors know all of this. Unfortunately, doctors who decline to give patients the medications they think they need or recommend against surgical procedures patients think they want are subject to a lot of negative pressure in today's medical system. If someone goes into a doctor and demands antibiotics for their cold, the doctor must find a way to talk them down without risking another negative review which can impact their career and compensation in many systems. Some doctors just don't care enough, and will hand out prescriptions as asked. It's becoming a real problem now that medical systems have so many layers of middle management trying to put NPS scores and other feedback loops into the medical system, combined with social media pushing so many people to think they know they need antibiotics or thyroid medicine or other treatments that come with more downsides than benefits.
When It’s Easy to Be a Landlord, No One Wants to Sell
Yes. Just click submit at the end, and in somewhere between 15 minutes and a couple of hours you'll get a response from the IRS whether it was accepted or rejected with an error message of what didn't match up.

(Sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 tries because I mistyped a number from a W2 or missed a line or something.)
You know how we can be pretty sure that the NSA's data haystack hasn't done much to prevent terrorism because if it did they'd be shouting it from the rooftops?

Well occupational licensing is the same way. If there was even a shred of a farcical bad-faith argument that it saved money they'd be happy to spout it. The fact that the proponents don't even have that and instead shove appeals to emotion in your face tells you everything you need to know.

After seeing that other engineer get fired, I wonder if the remaining engineers simply made up a plausible explanation that would make Musk happy.

"Popularly overload" indeed.
Ah, I see, thank you for the explanation. The reason I never had any problems of this kind is that I always compile Go in a container anyway, so the environment is controlled completely. Makes sense that using the C toolchain on the host would be painful, yes.
You mentioned discipline, perhaps that is the answer. Cultivating discipline, patience, and ironclad consistency in your personal life will bleed over into your professional pursuits.

It's likely either that or you need to become a distinguished leader (dictator) so you can program your ideas through other people, multiplying the speed at which you can operate.
Marriage and birth are both a matter of public record, are they not? The government wouldn’t need magic to know those things, when that information is registered with the government. Employers could also report work situations to the government, as could mortgage companies. If the details of your mortgage debt is readily available to agencies that determine your credit score, why should it not be available to the government as well?

It would be a lot easier in most cases then you’re making it out to be - and even in exceptional cases, you would only have to address those exceptions, and skip the drudgery of regurgitating all the information the government could have easily found for itself.
In my experience, it's exceptional in America. This may be due to constant indoctrination that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". Also, modern food processing has put all sorts of late-night snacks at our fingertips.

It treats everyone equally. That is a good thing. Progressive taxes are a sham to make more people ok with income taxes and collect more in taxes. It is a win-win for the IRS.
In elementary school in the 80s in upstate New York we had some sort of tooth treatment provided in the classroom, and it seemed like sort of a big deal at the time. Until recently I thought it was just a national program, until my wife told me she never had anything like it growing up in Rhode Island. Anecdotally I've had pretty good teeth my whole life and as far as I know, my friends from school have as well. Let's just say my wife is presently losing at Redneck Life (where the final score is number of teeth you still have at the conclusion of the game). :)

its certainly not this treatment, since my treatment was like 30+ years ago, but it was a treatment
Allowing hostile foreign actors to spy on your civilians is not “international cooperation” any more than running drugs with the Mexican government would be.

It’s fundamentally a betrayal of your country.

The “bad take” is that these people are allowed to walk free because it’s just “cooperation”. Absurd.

Wait what? Can you explain this approach a little further?
It's far worse than you make it out to be.

Max internal clocks on DDR4/5 are about 400MHz. There's a fundamental limit (rapidly diminishing return) to how fast you can drain and charge capacitors.

They try to make up for it by reading/sending entire row(s) at one time and sending quickly over the wire, but that's clearly reliant on cache line optimization of the program and doesn't do much to improve real-world latencies.
If that's true, why blow up your own infrastructure when you can just cut the supply?

There was one for MT yesterday evening as well.
If I'm remembering correctly, primary home mortgage interest is the single biggest deduction (also known as a "loophole") in our (the US) tax code.

We would need a fair few laws for the government to be able to get the information to cover most people's taxes, though I think this is less true after the standard deduction was doubled during the Trump years. (Banks have reporting duties, but are not run by the government so anything not directly related to fraud prevention isn't covered under the law)
Yea, I don't see how the value of human life doesn't keep going down at this point.

We ignore each other when we're face to face by using our phones. We don't value what other people write because it takes too much time and effort to read. Now we're generating content for each person's tastes. I could go on and on about this, but it's horrible how devalued being a person who wants to contribute to society has become.

Small correction: 15:9 pattern, if this writeup is correct.
The uneven application of that policy was especially noticeable in regards to anti-white tweets that were so prevalent. At least Reddit was honest enough to come right out and say their anti-racism rules didn't apply to anti-white sentiment.
Have you considered that 16h for a mouse might, from a metabolic POV, be comparable to 4+ days in humans? That’d be quite the intervention.
Potatoes are not alkaline. Potatoes and rice are close in ph and on the acidic to neutral side. The average pH of baked potatoes is around 6.0 to 7.0, while the average pH of cooked rice is around 6.0 to 6.5.

(7 is neutral, and values above 7 move toward alkalinity.)

I don't believe in rice causing bad teeth either. I live in Asia and almost all of my grandparents and great-grandparents have good teeth, and we only eat rice here. The ones who have bad teeth are, unsurprisingly, heavy smokers or drinkers.
There isn't one, I'm speaking in terms of humanity as a species. In an ideal world the UN would have coordinated this sort of thing, had national governments been willing to pool their sovereignty to a greater degree in earlier decades. That said, representative democracy seems to perform increasingly poorly at scale; on the other hand, the relatively unrestricted freedom of the internet demonstrates that bimodal distributions, de facto monopolies, and plantation models run rampant as soon as you introduce ranking systems. To some extent this is a natural outcome of preferential attachment, a phenomenon which exists in nature at the physical level and precedes life or any individual species. See river development, for example.
Whenever there's a tradeoff between wisdom and cleverness, the tech industry tends to favor the latter. And the industry moves at such a pace that people in it have gotten quite used to thinking that anything that happened in the past doesn't matter too much. These aren't exactly a recipe for building a durable civilization, despite many positives that do emerge from this engine of innovation.

> If the food destroys your teeth so much, think what it does on the inside of you which you cannot see.

I was with you until this point. The stomach is highly acidic. The natural next step food takes in our bodies is into an environment that would destroy our teeth. It does not necessarily follow that food which damages our teeth is bad for the rest of us. If anything, your potato/rice examples would suggest that the opposite is true.

I agree tooth decay is largely a result of our diet, but that doesn't mean we have to change our diet to reverse/prevent tooth decay. I have a garbage diet and still manage to keep my teeth okay. I'm not in a rush to overhaul how I interact with food.

Come on folks, this last millenium vision totally lacks ambition. How about building a full-scale Enterprise in Earth's orbit, in space? Now that we have low orbit on-demand and scheduled transportion services available, we'd get the first legit space destination for a new age in mass tourism.

Which leads to more questions: does so-called intellectual properties laws apply in orbit? Would we need to solve artificial gravity, or floating around in a fake spaceship fine for tourism purposes? Etc.

So presently the government gives you a birth certificate for your baby, and you go to the government to apply for a marriage license, but you are worried that the government might find out you've married and had a baby? You want to have to do extra paperwork to avoid accidentally committing tax fraud?
Interestingly, enough, this is yet another thing to add to the list of things that are impossible to do (according to the Internet) but are already done by someone else that I've encountered in the US:

1. Final price including tax

2. Fiber to the home

3. Optional tax returns

4. High speed rail

5. Unarmed alternatives to police

Of those, the following have (despite being impossible to do though already done) managed to find themselves unimpossibled:

1. Fiber to the home (I had it)

2. High speed rail (Acela)

3. Unarmed alternatives to police (Camden, NJ)

The fascinating thing about the Internet is all these things that just are so impossible to do (usually in the US) but are somehow already done elsewhere and then, given time, the impossible is done. At the rate of impossibilities, I think we might actually be the case that dS<0 is possible globally.

I'm going to over-simplify the answer a bit, but without going into details the CPA's have to keep up to date on ever changing finance laws, deduction rule changes, etc... and much of the discovery process is on me. While this does not really change YoY the institutions I deal with also make mistakes, sometimes because of mergers and acquisitions and so I end up missing documents that somehow the IRS knows about but the institutions neglect to provide. The lawyers don't do my taxes so to speak but they review the work of the CPA and are supposed to help catch mistakes, but that is also not guaranteed for the institutional reasons I mentioned. It's more complicated than this but if I didn't need those people I certainly would not be paying for their services.

This is why I would love to see the IRS just show me what they think I owe and if I see any red flags I should be able to click a line item and dispute it, otherwise just click a button, do a wire transfer and be done with it. IRS gets their money and I get my time back for more important things like commenting on HN.

Someone might suggest that the lawyers should go after both the IRS and the institutions for their mistakes and the lawyers would totally agree with big dollar signs in their eyes. They've tried to egg me on in the past.
How do I install one on mobile?
For those incredibly rare events, the IRS doesn't need perfect omniscience. For the vast majority of the population, for the vast majority of their years filing taxes, it can be extremely simple. A checkbox "did you have a kid, get married or divorced, or die this year" will pretty much cover it for most people.

Business taxes are different. That's fine. Accountants are a cost of doing business.
