Everyone should eat cruciferous vegetables regardless. If you think you don't like them, you might want to try some alternate preparations.

Interestingly, a large number of cruciferous vegetables are the same plant.

"Brassica oleracea is a plant species from family Brassicaceae that includes many common cultivars used as vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan."
Exact opposite for me moving to SF mid 2021. Plenty of availability, barely more expensive than Chicago, landlords were bending over to get us to rent. Ended up landing a lovely 2 bedroom for 2800/mo with parking included and rent control in a great neighborhood.
My first thought is that you're going to sacrifice the first 13 years of your life to some nonsense anyway, so there's no getting around that.
It will make more sense to call it thinking if you realize that thinking does not need to connote all of the other human or animal cognitive characteristics that people tend to bundle with it.

ChatGPT can think and reason but it doesn't have a high bandwidth sensory experience or subjective stream of consciousness. It doesn't think in the same way as humans. Etc. Etc.

But thinking is still the best way to describe what it's doing. It has a model of the world and what you are asking it to do. It absolutely has to synthesize information to be able to fulfill requests.
(a) makes little sense to me. All the pristine data, i.e. Reddit up to late 2022, is already packaged up, mirrored, and available to download. Everything afterwards - and especially everything from the last two months onward - is increasingly becoming adulterated with LLM-generated content, which so far is proving poisonous to LLMs when fed to them in training. In other words: the widespread access to LLMs is rapidly destroying most of the ML training value Reddit data could offer.
The main idea of shorter work weeks is giving back some degree of the control of employee's time rather than forbidding them from working longer hours? Of course, this is not going to work unless you have a good way to enforce this to employers due to power structure. John probably doesn't appreciate this since he owns a nearly full control of his time thanks to his financially independent status, which is a rare privilege across ordinary white collar workers.
You don't even know what "left" means if you think that's what Trudeau is.

And to be afraid of mysterious "government agendas", when the real power is clearly corporate, even less accountable or transparent...

... judging from your comments, you've stepped over the threshold. I'm afraid reason won't reach you.
It's funny you would bring up Apple. Accounting for stock splits, it was at $0.37 in 1995 and now it's at $184! I think the lesson is, if you can, work at Apple instead of Google. Also have a time machine and buy AAPL in 1990. Or NVDA a couple months ago.
Fidel Narvaez the Ecuadorian consul in London helped Snowden get out of Hong Kong to the Moscow airport on the way to Ecuador with the purpose of getting him asylum (which had previously been granted to Julian Assange).

Joe Biden (then vice president) told the president of Ecuador by phone that relations between the U.S. and his country would "strongly deteriorate" if Snowden was given sanctuary there.

So sure, at that point "Ecuador didn't want him either."

I really don't care whether or not the U.S. planned for Snowden to be in Russia the moment they revoked the passport. The point is that he was trapped there by the actions of the U.S., and this was then used endlessly to insinuate all kinds of things about his motives and distract attention from the substance of the leaks.
Surprised to see this on here. HN is usually very pro-FBI and would be quick to dismiss things like this with the C word
About parasitic behavior: I think if Reddit had said “in 6 months the API will no longer be free. An average user creating W posts, X comments, Y searches and Z votes will incur $1 in monthly API costs” then there would’ve been very little drama. 99% of people will be sympathetic to a company charging for a thing that costs them money to provide.

It’s the fact that Reddit is using this event to get rid of third party apps by charging ridiculous prices for the API, not honestly owning this decision and finally giving less than a month of transition before it comes into effect that has made all these people angry.

To represent the angry people as just freeloaders who demand to get stuff that costs money for free would be dishonest.
FBI is only good at solving crimes they have engineered
So what is you point here? That warming planet is not likely to increase the rate of New York suffering smokes? Honestly this would put New York in a pretty special place as forest fires are set to increase a lot, and smokes are expected to distribute in higher density to wider areas. This is pretty observable on the West Coast already, where we have a brand new Smoke Season in the early to late autumn in the Pacific North West.

But realistically New York will not be this lucky, and the chances of the next smokes coming as distantly apart as per-industrialization is probably close to 0. I’m not a climate scientist but I bet we will for sure see several more smokes coming to New York before the end of the century (just like we have on the West Coast in the past 5 years).
The experimenter can't trick you in the second option because you get to choose the color. Both options have the same expected value.
Probably some of the most boring, pragmatic financial advice out there, at least for people of reasonable means. Bogleheads won't help a very poor person much (most important solution: earn more), but for everyone else it's about as good as you'll get to set yourself up for success.

Been on there for 15+ years, and have contributed to the wiki myself. It never stops being relevant.

Like over recent years I went from being independent to being an employee. We have a 401K with a good match, but the TDF choices were subpar. Good asset allocation and underlying funds, but they only offer the $0 minimum versions which are 0.75% ER, whereas the $3000 minimum version (it's a tech company, people are putting $3000 in no problem!) would be 0.12% ER.

Most people would put in the TDF and call it a day, which I wouldn't fault them for -- keeping it simple is what reduces friction and gets people to contribute earlier and contribute more. Except if you were there for 30 years, maxing your 401K and match every year, you'd be eating at least an extra $300,000 in expenses. Compound interest works both ways, after all.

The better solution? I will eventually petition HR to also add the Investor Class TDF options, but for now I instead simply rolled my own 4 fund portfolio with the remaining options to hit the same asset allocation, with damn near identical holdings. Took a few hours of research and making a spreadsheet with two or three very simple worksheets. All basic arithmetic.

I didn't just go from 75 basis points to 12 basis points: I ended up at 6.4 basis points. By comparison, a Vanguard TDF is 8 basis points. I'll re-balance it and adjust my contributions once a year, spending 5 minutes punching a few numbers into a spreadsheet to then punch corresponding numbers into the custodian's website. Set a reminder so I'll do it every year. Easy enough, and I reduced my expenses by ~91.5%.

If you nerd out and dig deep into the Bogleheads wiki, this kind of stuff becomes A) increasingly obvious and B) increasingly easy to recognize these opportunities.
I went over some of this with my wife earlier this year. She was a bit concerned about why I was bringing it up, but it was only because I'd already dragged half of this stuff out to review while preparing our tax return. :-)
Sadly, in the US, this is far from abnormal. For example, school resource officers often target special needs kids, and a disproportionate amount of them end up with arrests. They're easy to manipulate, and are a prime target for the personality types of American cops.
Google Workspace. update your MX records and use Gmail on your domain. I do it for my hobby stuff.
What’s the alternative to paying cash for a car? Borrowing to buy it (more expensive), leasing it (usually more expensive), or taking Uber everywhere (way more expensive).
You might be surprised. I've seen users who were shadow-banned by Reddit for months without figuring it out.
Ask HN: Have you used Cloudflare R2?
What did you use it for, how was the experience, how was pricing?
The lying is so egregious, it’s like he thinks the truth is beneath him.

I’m not an investment genius, but I’m not buying any stock of a company led by a petulant child. I do not think any rational investor is going to be impressed with this CEO come IPO time.
So a few copper thieves get radiation poisoning? How bad is that, really?

It seems like all nuclear waste doomerism is based on the same assumption that at some point in the future all of humanity is reduced to 100 individuals and all of them decide to dig into the same mine shaft.

Though Ellsberg was a smart guy, he wasn't a technologist; so he was probably less familiar with what Snowden leaked than Snowden was, which is saying a lot.

There is some good that the FBI does but it is tarnished by this case and other cases like this.
What is the quality of that time though? How much development have you missed out on? What relationships do you have? What's your health like? These are factors people don't think about.

I retired this year at 40 after a high demand career. I gave up a lot, but did manage to have a family and friends, though my health is completely trashed (big reason for the retirement).
In addition to the other comments, gyro data helps reduce the computation required by a lot.
that's interesting, for me interviews feel very similar to the work I do day-to-day, except I need to be on the whole time. If I have a work task like a tight deadline or urgent production issue that requires maximum effort for 5–8 hours then the feeling is very similar to how I feel after an interview. Maybe I am too close to the "fight-or-flight" mode during normal, lower-stakes work.
The bullies need careers when they grow up too I guess.
They are a free wiki host run by a UK non-profit, pretty much the only free wiki host that has no ads whatsoever and also offers a reasonable selection of Mediawiki extensions. There are thousands, but some examples of popular wikis hosted on Miraheze:

- NATO Cyberlaw Toolkit - https://cyberlaw.ccdcoe.org/wiki/Main_Page (Yes, an intergovernmental military alliance with infinite money is using a free wiki host)

- Loathsome Characters Wiki - https://loathsomecharacters.miraheze.org

- A ton of amateur wikis that migrated from Fandom (formerly Wikia) after a series of poor decisions by Fandom, such as the Polandball Wiki: https://www.polandballwiki.com/

- MOGAI Wiki, a continuation of some of the gender and sexual identities wikis from Fandom. There was a huge debacle where fandom tried to forcibly merge various superficially similar wiki communities, which caused a lot of chaos for LGBT wikis due to disagreement over xenogenders. https://mogai.miraheze.org/wiki/MOGAI_Wiki
> Mark has lost over $30B on Metaverse supported by a stagnating ad business

We must live in different worlds. They invested $30B in research, have a clear advantage now that Apple is trying to enter the market, and is still printing money like there's no tomorrow via their ad business.
This is so fun to watch.

Say this point I predict Reddit's PR mismanagment of this whole situation will be tought in business schools as a classic example of what not to do
Not OP, but he did caveat it with saying some decisions, which I assume he meant that cutting costs on an overstaffed org is a good idea, but maybe cutting 70% before you have a good idea what they do might have been a bad way to do it.

You can make the sane/rational decisions, yet implement those decisions in the most insane way possible.
No, you can't negotiate that.

The problem is that the bank is carrying the loan on its books and pretending it has full value. Negotiating that improves their actual financial position, but requires recognizing the loss that they are trying to ignore. If the stop ignoring it then they are possibly going to fail.

That is why the banking sector badly needs such a giant bailout right now.

From what I've observed, people have no problem talking to other people in public places. I don't see why this behavior would change for non-human listeners.

I regularly use speech-to-text transcription publicly. With my mouth close to the mic, I can speak softly enough that people outside of my personal space can't hear.

That being said, keyboards still have their place. Certainly, I use ChatGPT on my phone several times a week using keyboard input, and it's not particularly onerous.
If you complete X amount of work in 5 days, then switch to 4 days and still complete X amount of work, then it seems like you can actually complete X + X/5 in 5 days instead of X.

I'm not arguing how much you should or shouldn't work. I'm just pushing back against the non-sense that people actually accomplish more by working less.
> So long as a post is on topic and not abusive or threatening, there is zero reason to remove it. But Reddit has become a place where mods curate their userbase into a nightmarish echo chamber, quash all dissent, and then use it as a bullhorn for their own ideologies.

Ideology has nothing to do with it. The post could be flamebait, have a bad title such as "Give me recs", a clickbait title such as "Does anyone else hate Popular Thing", be easily satisfied by searching the subreddit, etc.

I just don't like this, a huge amount of money spent for nothing. This fuel can be managed just fine above ground. Yes maybe ever couple 100 years you might have to move it, who cares. If your society isn't capable managing nuclear waste then nobody will care anymore anyway.

Also, this is not 'waste' there are interesting and unique materials there that might be relevant in the next 100+ years. Not to mention that there is still lots of energy that can be extracted.

These projects are all huge waste of money and the nuclear waste buggyman is mostly just the biggest anti-nuclear marketing project. And a sadly successful one.

In the US nuclear companies have spent money for waste disposal for 50 years, with lots of money hanging out in an account. But instead of doing things to actually process this waste, like advanced GenIV reactors they instead just stalemate politically over the idiotic Yucca Mountain and don't do anything. Billions blocked from making progress on technology.

Canada, the only western country with half way non insane nuclear policies is finally actually slowly moving. Together with a company called Moltex Energy they are working on reprocessing CANDU fuel to be used in the SSR Reactor.

If countries just worked together on this stuff instead of each country being tricked into digging a big unnecessary hole we could actually make clean energy, reduce the actual nuclear 'waste' to a incredibly tiny amount that can be easily managed.
It's vanilla Java on non-virtualized/non-containerized on-prem hardware, a single server (actually just a big PC with an enterprise MVMe SSD). The search index is bespoke, but I'm using mariadb for the link database.

It's a simple macroservice architecture.
Average life expectancy is around 80, I think. Health insurance is really expensive, and it gets more expensive as you get old.
2M is a lot of money, but almost 50 years to spend it is also a lot of time. So, in the end you'll trade 13 of your prime years, will party like crazy for 2 or 3 years, then you'll realize that is time to get back to work.
Haven't they recently discovered that Tesla crashes are far more frequent that previous estimations?
> i don’t understand your race to the bottom argument.

Look at work culture in the United States or parts of Asia, where the goal is to extract as much production out of the workers as possible and if it grinds them to dust, that's their own personal failing and you will just swap out the faulty cog for a fresh one.

It gets absurd when you look at Japan's performative long hours. It's not even financially beneficial by that point.
There is the point of the hedonic treadmill, but young professional success has a slew of downstream benefits beyond the immediate self-esteem factor. There's

> Money, so random medical calamities, a year off to "reflect", completely changing your career field aren't crazy or unattainable. A freedom to retire earlier when your body hasn't yet mostly deteriorated

> Experience, so you know how to pursue valuable vs non-valuable things

> Connections to other people on that level of success, leading to more interesting life experiences

> Self assurance against imposter syndrome, or complete hopelessness trying to make any sort of impact on the world.

Good to hear about your experience, and we’ve steadily improved the onboarding costs. Also have a new starter kit coming soon that goes all in on batteries included.

When did you last try it? Because it’s improved dramatically since January.

But of course you have to compare it to the alternatives.

Aka have you tried to build a SwiftUI app? There’s endless problems. And then you have to rewrite your whole app three times.

Building any app will leave you delirious, but I’ve found myself far more productive in React Native than the alternatives - and I’ve tried them. I would happily challenge anyone to ship a cross platform app using their framework of choice and compare on time to ship and ultimate UX. I think there’s a clear winner.
Work-from-home has really changed this. I don't even need to pretend to work, just need to keep that Slack dot green and appear "responsive."
What is even more interesting: At a given power rating, coal plants produce up to 3 times more radioactivity than nuclear power plants directly in leftover ash because coal contains large numbers of radioactive isotopes. It might not seem like much, but when you consider that a 1TWe coal plant burns 3.2Mt of coal a year compared to 27t of uranium for an equivalent nuclear power plant, this might become more apparent.

Most of that waste is captured in ash via particle filters and has to be treated like any highly toxic and radioactive waste, but as far as I know this waste it not destined for secured long term nuclear disposal where it would be kept safe from interacting with the environment. We don’t seem to have a problem with that…

Further, some low percentage (literature tends to point at .5%) of it is in gaseous form or cannot be filtered, so it gets vented into the atmosphere. That’s assuming modern and intact particle filters. And we aren’t even talking about CO2 here.

It’s somewhat absurd we have to have discussions about nuclear power plant waste in this reality.
There are already small businesses that do this: Purism and Pine64.
This is all based on the unprecedented growth of the S&P from 2008 up to about 2021.

This is just a bad take. There is almost unimaginable amount Thorium and Uranium on the planet. We will never run out. In reality, volcanic activity keeps transporting thorium up, so it borderline renewable. We have energy for 100s or 1000s of years with nuclear, even used inefficiently.

Sure it fucking sucks we are only mostly U-235 and we are doing it inefficiently, but stopping progress because of that is just dumb.
It clearly says technical burnout. Why do you have to blame GDPR? If anything it was the best thing to happen to the open internet
yes. I use it for my image storage on a small Mastodon instance (https://s.o2l.ie). No issues with it so far, and all is good. Bucket is around 18Gb (was around the 70Gb last month) and bill for last month was 60c for an average of 49.3Gb stored over the month.
Why have them privately controlled at all? The fed prints the money. The fed could be the bank and insurer as well, and obviate the middle men skimming the pot.
I've found that I HAVE to stay in shape, sleep well and eat some approximation of healthy to maintain my mental performance for long periods, so many issues that I blamed purely on psychology or "how I was wired" really came down to I wasn't working out at all, was drinking too much on the weekends, and sitting in a cubicle for 8-9 hours a day.

That said, even today I can definitely work myself into a state where my brain just collapses if it attempts to do anything complex, and doing even the simplest chores seems like climbing Mt. Everest.

However I have some morbidly obese co-workers who still manage to keep up with me and stay sharp for longer in some cases. Likewise I've read some blogs about some people who genetically can be at full capacity, or near to it, off of 5 hours of sleep consistently. I'm honestly jealous

I'm sure he has a strong will but I think Carmack is some variety of biologically gifted for sure, lucky bastard.
I read the Beastie Boys book sometime last year and Rubin was everywhere with the Beastie Boys. Involved with record dealings with Rush Management and Def Jam, not only those but also on a personal level. Beastie boys and Rubin were really close.

Another comment mentions that a lot of the volunteers on this projects have moved on to a similar project called WikiTide, and that's the "recent events" mentioned in the article. https://meta.wikitide.com/wiki/WikiTide does seem like they offer a similar thing (though, of course, Lindy's law applies regarding its reliability/viability).
