> Raw milk products are routinely consumed in France, I've never heard of someone getting sick from it.

Raw milk itself is not routinely consumed though. Apparently, 95% of the milk used by consumers is UHT[0]. People do get sick from unpasteurised end-products as well:

> In France over the last decade, 34%, 37% and 60% of outbreaks of salmonellosis, listeriosis and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infections respectively have been linked to the consumption of raw-milk cheeses.[1]

April this year[2]:

> Five people are sick in France, two seriously, and one in Belgium after drinking a brand of raw fermented milk.

In 2019[3]:

> The Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O26 outbreak was from March to mid-May. In total, 19 cases were identified, with 18 confirmed, of which 17 had HUS and were hospitalized. One child and an adult only had diarrhea. Of HUS cases, eight had neurological complications.

The article mentions another outbreak in 2018.

As a result of being a bit obsessed with fool.com around the turn of the millenium I invested some money into Index Funds. I still have these investments now and they have tripled in value.

My wife and I have made far more money via house sales however, due to the rise in UK house prices in recent years.

I'd agree most people I know don't directly invest in the stock market. You use to hear much more small talk about stock market investing 20 years ago than you do now.

Maybe:

Less money to invest (price of housing / cost of living etc)

Difficulty focusing on the longer time frame required for stock market investing

Big push in the UK on investing into pensions
How to choose the target for a migration from RPG
In this article, we will reflect on how to choose the target for a migration from RPG. RPG is a programming language that has been successfully used for decades to create a lot of software. Nowadays there are a large number of very large and valuable applications written in RPG, and their owners are wondering: should we move to another language?
It's kinda standard practice in low journalism in the UK to describe people in lots of pointless ways in a single article. Usually the first mention includes their age in brackets for some reason. The BBC should really be better than that though.

Usually this is too vacuous of a criterion for comments on any other topic on HN. For some reason any post on Twitter has pages and pages of “yikes” “derp”, people gossiping about “Elon” like he’s their wayward cousin. Pathetic.
We have empirical proof of materialism from experiments showing that manipulating the brain with drugs, electrical stimulation, and lobotomy affect what it thinks. In the same way, we have proof of materialism for computers.

I can't think of any religions that make any clear predictions, so they're not even wrong (as opposed to astrology which is clearly wrong). So-called punishments are typically enacted in some other realm (e.g. after-life, rebirth into a lower form etc) which leads to some experimental problems in verifying the claims.

I disagree about your interpretation of burning of religious books - surely that's more to do with people getting angry about their beliefs and culture being deliberately insulted. Burning a flag doesn't get people angry because of the impotence of whatever grouping the flag represents - it's because it's a direct insult to the people who value what the flag represents.
> I took me a couple of weeks to figure out the person do did that was moving the CG of the framed print closer to the wall which made hit hang nearly flat on the wall.

As it was at the bottom of the frame, it also moved the CG lower, which also helps to reduce the tilt, even if the CG remains a little bit to the front.

> When reading the referenced article I realized it also allowed for an arbitrarily tightly stretched cross wire because the steel plate would bear all of the stress, not the art.

I don't really get this, if the plate was at the bottom. I assume the stretched wire would be attached somewhere at the top half, so the rest of the frame would need to bear at least some of the stress.

To everybody here saying this will kill Twitter: it won't.

- firing 75% of the employees didn't kill Twitter

- aggressive rate limits and requiring auth didn't kill Twitter

- a well funded competitor with 100 million signups in days didn't kill Twitter (and their engagement is down 70% in just 2 weeks)

And yet here we are on HN again prophesying doom because of a name change. A name change won't kill Twitter either. Their traffic is driven by network effect, not branding. The past year has been a case study in it.
The article seemed like a common sense concept overthought, so I knew there just had to be a well trodden path that someone in the HN comments would bring up by name. Thanks for this!
It was relatively secluded. Federal agencies already owned and controlled 90% of the land needed for the site and the local residents were mostly homesteaders granted grazing permits by the Federal government. Landowners for the remaining 10% were compensated through the process of eminent domain.

Utilities and roads were built to access the seized land.

Maybe the process could have been more humane, but it is easy to sit back in the comfort of the 21 century and feign outrage. The nation was facing existential challenges and the war machine required sacrifice from all civilians.

This kind of context would go a long way in fostering better conversations. In regards to this tweet, it would have been nice for the author to acknowledge that while the Hispanos' grazing permits for the land were withdrawn, it was their sacrifice for the war effort.
They clearly can, but the forces tend to pull them the other way.

Thinking this experiement a few steps further:

1) Government bans nothing, citizens are expected to do their own research for their protection

2) Business models are developed to communicate reliable, trustworthy products.

3) Unscrupulous businesses lie about the benifits of their products, and sue the other businesses doing (2) for libel. The courts, already overwhelmed, back up, and these bad businesses can take their money, disolve, and vanish before their cases finish, leaving consumers harmed and misled with no recourse.

There are companies that are rather efficent at coming into existance to bring a few products, and then vanishing, for whatever reasons.
I write sci-fi so I like to wildly speculate, so here goes:

I think the point of having X be the everything app is that as we experience extreme amounts of crime because of the neglect of the authorities, and transition to the privatized everything, no default trust future where you get nothing for just being a human who isn't in prison, when you get cancelled you'll really get cancelled. You'll not only get all your social media accounts cancelled, but your bank accounts, the lease on the place you live, your ability to go to grocery stores, your ability to purchase gas, your ability to get a loan, your ability to use public transit, your internet connection, your ability to use public bathrooms, your ability to use dating apps, etc. will all be cancelled. X will provide all of these, and X will not cancel you.

This has precedent. China, during Zero Covid in 2022, would lock you out of absolutely everything if you didn't go stand in line half the day to get a Covid test every single day. I could imagine all the private providers of absolutely everything banding together to implement the same thing in a private system with the cheering of the populace since it's the only way to protect against criminals when you get a San Francisco style situation where the government gives up on enforcing most laws.
I’ve been learning recently about flash memory and NAND in particular, and I was surprised to learn that SD Cards contain software, that different memory types (SLC vs MLC vs others) have very different life span and all these variables is what makes an “industrial” flash so. Not just higher temperatures tolerances, but the flash and software itself.
> What seems new to me is that software that used to be good deteriorates

I think you can say the same about any industry, not only software. There are countless products that "aren't made how they used to".

At least he'll be running down the need for Twitter to be able to scale so that he can finally accomplish the goal of ditching Linux in favor of Windows servers/IIS that supposedly lead to him being kicked out of Paypal.
> But the majority of drug use are home-grown.

The thing is, there are three categories of illicit drugs:

- relatively harmless / have established use: a lot of the "home grown" drugs fall under this category, they are usually low-price as they are mass products. Marijuana and diverted pharma pills, mostly.

- stuff that is extremely fucking dangerous, like fentanyl, its even more strong cousin carfentanyl, meth or self-made stuff like krokodil (gained from boiling codein cough medicine). Extremely simple to make in general, extremely potent, extremely hard to wean off.

- stuff that fuels organized crime, aka cocaine (almost exclusively grown/refined in Southern America) and heroin (which comes to an overwhelming degree from Afghanistan's poppy farms).

The large cartels almost exclusively focus on the latter, as there's a ton of money to be made smuggling that, which is a very real problem as the cartels can offer sums to corrupt officials even in Western countries that pay good money to border control staff. A boat full of cocaine can make hundreds of millions of dollars, while no one cares about a boat full of weed - not worth the effort.

> One can run desalination facility at full blast during the day

The advantage is that you need a smaller desalination facility, as it can run at 100% duty cycle. Pumped hydroelectricity could do something similar, but why not have a go at removing the losses of converting back to electricity. (Then again, if you have an electric pump you already have most of the equipment required to produce hydroelectricity by running it in reverse, so pumped hydro might be better because it is more versatile?)

What would you like to see added or removed from the constitution?

Personally I'd love an amendment declaring our right to privacy, though we really just need to better enforce illegal search and seizure.

> I’m also wondering what good to see in an armed citizenry being “not shabby” - and before you say something to the effect that it “keeps our government in line” try to remember they have stratospheric death robots that think your ar-15 is just adorable.

So are you saying we shouldn't have the right to arm ourselves because we're already so outmatched by our own government?

And to clarify here, the goal of an armed citizenry and armed militias was extremely important when we didn't have a standing military. The original goal was much less about actually making sure citizens come uld overthrow their own government, that's a modern view usually held by those who don't realize how terrible a civil war would actually be.

I'm of the opinion that we should get rid of this farce that we must have a permanent, massive standing army rather than attempting to disarm all our citizens. Our military needs something to do as long as it's there, we're always going to be looking for a fight to prove why they exist.
Whether for one person or for everybody, eavesdropping requires encryption to be breakable. We must accept that serious discussion on this issue is not yet closed, and we must accept that one possible outcome is that encryption be banned.

There is a difference between "we don't know the effects of this treatment, there is reason to believe it could work but we have no statistics, so the risk is on you" and "we know the negative effects of this product, we have plenty of statistics on the empirical risk, so we made a decision to limit the behaviors of those providing the product".
I agree with you, I think "just be yourself" or else get comfortable acting

on the other hand, it's also important to 'go with the flow' sometimes, specially around things you don't consider too important; whichever those may be (I've noticed that what is important is even affected by my mood).

Social networks have a moat so strong that can you stand all kind of abuse apparently.

Reminds me of 2balkan4you reddit community which has a humour style too crude for the Western cultures and gets banned all the time but because the Balkan people banter with each other in that way and banning a community does nothing more than re-grouping under a new name. It's actually the same thing with all kind of networks of people and as long as the reasons to come together exists, people will go in great lengths to come together.

Maybe it's in the similar vein of "you can't kill an idea", so as long as the communication tech can capture the core needs of people who would like to network no downtime or logo change will break your product because you will have very motivated users. The worth of the product from monetary perspective can change though.
History says 99 of 100 people will never beat the Vanguard total stock market index fund (or better yet the Target Retirement Fund)… so long as they purchase regularly and never sell before age 65.

And not having the funds is just an excuse. Start with $100 a month buying etf shares. And never stop.
That's just wrong and a simply depressive outlook for life. Saying things are only valuable if its for literally everybody just the wrong outlook.

Having the ability to make open end to end things is valuable even if its not in every product. Linux shows up in lots of places where people are not aware and that is a good thing. The same thing will happen with RISC-V.

And for people who like open, there will be product for those people. There are companies working on open board devices, laptops, boards and so on. And in the future maybe those could be open chip. The costumers of those products will not care if the PC at Media Market is a propriety computer with Windows on it.

Your attitude would basically be that 'its hardly different' when OpenSource started to grow. But it was and is actually different for a lot of people and for the industry.
Your complain is conflated. Turning off javascript is not akin to turning off macros in a Word document. It’s like deleting your desktop environment and complaining Word doesn’t work in a terminal.

I’m not sure if you’re really thinking about the impact of not having any javascript. Want to reply to a comment on HN? The whole page reloads. Want to upvote a comment? The whole page reloads. Sure you can give every comment an ID and reload back to where you were, but then you can’t have collapsible comments (because css, presumably what you’re hacking for collapsible comments without JS, can’t respond to anchor references).

There’s a million other usability things that require JS, it’s so much more than a macro language.

There are bad practices everywhere, in every field, and it feels like everyone feels they have the authority to beat down JS, and web dev as a whole, likely with zero experience working with it.

Web arguably has the best developer experience of any field. It’s so good, they took the web and put it in your desktop. Electron, GTK, KDE, everything is javascript.

The war is lost and over. Start arguing/discussing how JS can be improved instead that it shouldn’t exist (there’s PLENTY to complain about, don’t get me wrong).
There's nothing to study. It's like studying the bottles of piss of Howard Hughes. Elon Musk is simply not well. And his enablers will stop enabling him when the financial outcomes of this entire mess become unquestionable.

I feel like you (and the person above) are missing the whole point of Twitter for many people. I'm not interested in influencers at all, I'm interested in the random guys which often have a lot of interesting life experiences or expertise (shoutout to @foone, for example). And in crisis, video and witnesses from people on the ground are more valuable than second-hand opinionated media rewritings.

Yes there are some SBCs around if you want to experiment. Pine has one line of boards now.

I expect that having SVG as the native Inkscape format makes this somewhat difficult.

My own 'rationalizaton' of why astrology:

we all go too school on the same calendar cycle. But to young children one year difference can be quite significant.

this magnitude of difference diminishes with age: 50 vs 51 years old? same thing... 3 vs 4 years old? may be the difference between pooping your pants and holding it in

but consider the social consequences of shitting your pants in a semi-public setting? and add these up over your whole k12 education across millions of people.

the idea is that some psychological traits will be formed by this. and the zodiac reveals when you where born.

in summary I'm saying that taking all these things together and averaging them out may reveal psychological traits formed by an homogenized (standardized) education experience.
So, what's your take? Give us the vibe, the feel of it. What's the upside plan here?
Yes, “X is true because it feels good to believe so” is not a rational basis for belief.

Most people act rationally and irrationally. So you can hold an irrational belief, i.e. that your religion is the One True Religion, and then take rational actions like going to church based on that irrational belief.
Ah so that's how we're supposed to Google for tweets now. "𝕏 something something".
"Robots may indeed be able to capably transmit religion’s content, but they lack critical credibility. People perceive robots as having less capacity for understanding and emotion – less “mind” – than humans.

And 'mind' is key to credibility. Robots cannot authentically believe or feel faith’s costs. Unlike human clergy, who sacrifice for their religion, robots and AI simply speak about matters of faith, without any commitment.

The research provides new evidence that artificial intelligence may face hard limits when entering roles that require credibility, commitment, and “mind”-like religious leadership."
