That quote sounds misleading when the study itself (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S003335062...) differentiates between harmful and hazardous drinking:

"Results: There was no significant change in the proportion of drinkers consuming at harmful levels (β = +0.6 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −1.1, +2.3) or moderate levels (β = +1.4 percentage points; 95% confidence interval = −1.1, +3.8) after the introduction of MUP. The proportion consuming at hazardous levels fell significantly by 3.5 percentage points (95% CI = −5.4, −1.7). There were no significant changes in other secondary outcomes or in the subgroup analyses after correction for multiple testing.

Conclusions: Introducing MUP in Scotland was not associated with reductions in the proportion of drinkers consuming at harmful levels but did reduce the prevalence of hazardous drinking. This adds to previous evidence that MUP reduced overall alcohol consumption in Scotland and consumption among those drinking above moderate levels."

The study above also comments that the previous study (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...) is the "most direct evidence on the public health impact of MUP to date":

"Further research that would strengthen understanding of the impact of MUP on people drinking at harmful levels include studies of alcohol-related harm. Such analyses have recently been published, showing a 13.4% reduction in alcohol-attributable deaths and a 4.1% reduction in alcohol-attributable hospitalisations in Scotland. This provides the most direct evidence on the public health impact of MUP to date."

Wow, the meta-analysis of comments versus the actual astrology thread are stark: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36840674

Looking at both side to side shows how much the materialists influence places like this.

1. Astrology is seen as a "womanly lowly thing", but this has no people yelling such sexist connections.

2. Astrology has the underlying Hermetic beliefs that "As above, so below" and to know thyself, whereas this goal is "make money machine go brrr"

3. Astrologers/diviners know their art is imprecise and say so, whereas this Technical Analysis shrouds itself in "hard math badly applied" to fool people (including themselves).

4. The Materialists (anti-religion, anti-occult, anti-mystic) are absent, whereas in the Astrologer thread they were HOWLING.
We are not concerned with people on high salaries. They can hopefully take care of themselves. Far more important to talk about low, average and median earners for I hope obvious reasons.
Y'all always forget Canada exists :) I worked with a US company in Houston for 11 years, and we had other people located outside the US on the dev teams as well. Cultural match is more important than strict geo imho.

You're right, yes for some reason I imagined the second tone...
(Original commenter here) our company has been victim of overemployment with 2 employees (the worst offender found us via Who's Hiring on HN - he had 3 full-time W-2 jobs).

Having been fooled by 2 "overemployed" people (on a team of 20), these fake candidates are distinct in that they're almost always have an unexplained heavy accent yet they say they're born and raised in the US. They also often have Zoom backgrounds that are just... odd (the room will often look like it has shelving and boxes or whatever that don't look like something you would see in the US).

It's difficult because no single data point is enough to prove they're fake, but when you add all the warning signs together, it's pretty obvious.

In my experience, /r/overemployed people are a lot better at blending in with regular candidates.

Re: overemployment, the best counter-offense I've found is to require LinkedIn profiles and to require background checks that include employment verification. Most "overemployed" people are smart enough to not have a LinkedIn profile. This has a side effect of excluding applicants without a LinkedIn, but it's a tradeoff.
I'm just culturally more familiar with meat prep, that's all. I've had my mind blown by good vegan food, but it was very far from what I was exposed too while growing up.

I think that's the idea. We need to get more people exposed to good vegan food. Someone get Jamie Oliver!

Remote software engineer in the EU here.

Remote has been fantastic, to extend our pool of potential customers/employers. Not working in an open space, not being disturbed by pointless red-tapers and middle managers is a productivity boost. Not losing time and energy in commutes as well.

I can see one serious drawback with pure remote: it's a cumbersome way to mentor junior developpers. In big companies which maintain a balance of junior/senior staff, and try to make the former grow, it's a legitimate issue. In start-ups, which expect you to hit the ground running, and don't have an army of managers to keep busy, remote should be the norm.
For me the examples on the website https://prql-lang.org/ are the biggest selling point for PRQL, in particular the SQL it generates. It looks clean, straightforward, something I would've written myself.

In general, I like this slightly more careful take on modern database development. 10-15 years people would start a brand new database like Mongo, or Riak, or Influx, or whatever, and would try to convince application developers to select it for new projects. But recently we started getting more conservative options like EdgeDB, TimescaleDB, or even PRQL which all expect us to run Postgres with some addons and / or query preprocessors. Tech like this is so much easier to adopt!

I'm really liking what Edge folks are doing with schemas and migrations, but I do find PRQL syntax much more intuitive. My application code is littered with data transformation pipelines already: all these map / filter chains in TYpeScript, iterators in Rust, enumerables in Ruby, streams in Java, LINQ in .net, Rx in dozens of languages etc. etc. So the concept is very, very familiar. Getting nice SQL queries out of PRQL that I can store, inspect later, see the query plans, add indices where necessary, is just great. It's such a good tool!
But correlation is correlation. At least, for most people's definitions of the word.
> take the ten year yield, not the short term 5 months yield

The ten-year yield was closer to 6% when Barra took the helm. That's much worse!

The point of the comparison is that the return she delivered over her ten-year term was analogous to that which an investor demanded to lend to the U.S. government for a grand total of five months. It's driving home the terribleness of the return within the context of her hiring: she has failed to return anything close to GM's cost of capital.

> you are comparing with the benefit of hindsight which is not viable for any financial analysis

It's totally valid for evaluating a manager!
I've been throwing around the term "neo-feudalism" and people seem to get the gist of what I mean intuitively (paying dues to the monopolistic ownership class, only now you're working digital land) but your suggestion of "rentier capitalism" does ultimately fit much better.
I'm so skeptical of "if just 1% of X happens, we'll all be rich!" arguments. It's like when startups say "If we just get 1% of <giant market X> we'll be worth billions." All you're really doing is emphasizing the size of the market while handwaving away how actually difficult it is to get that 1% (because hey, 1% sounds like such a small number, how hard can it be??)

When it comes to smoking, at least in the US, it has largely become an affliction of the poor and uneducated. This has definitely changed in the past 40 years or so - smoking used to be something that was very common, but now I'm actually pretty shocked when I hear someone in my social class (highly educated, upper middle class) smokes. "What's wrong with you?" is honestly my first thought.

So the main issue is that tackling smoking rates among the poor (this article was about Medicaid after all) is really about tackling many of the issues of poverty itself. When you're bored and don't have much hope in your upward mobility, smoking (and other drugs) doesn't seem like such a bad trade - a temporary little joy, when life is generally tough anyway. When you talk about tackling the root causes of poverty in the US, that's a much more difficult (and realistic) conversation than just saying "let's just get 1% of Medicaid recipients to stop smoking."
I close most of my tabs every 15 minutes or so. If I need to find a window I just closed, I look in my history. Browser history seems to be the best kept secret.

I do have a smart RSS reader YOShInOn which lets me favorite articles, I definitely do look at my last few days of favorites regularly when I am looking for articles to submit on HN and elsewhere but it’s true that I hardly ever look at older favorites. Still I’ve got the ambition of being always able to back up the outrageous-sounding things I remember reading about when I write comments online with citations.
If there are youtube/twitter/etc guys "teaching" you a "strategy" then it's one to avoid like the plague. True edge generating strats are held onto like state secrets.
You're missing a huge difference here: A captcha works on top of the existing web. I can use it on any platform to prove that I am a human. Whereas the proposal/implementation here effectively locks out any platform not explicitly allowed by the website operators. That is a huge blow to anything not from Google/Apple/Microsoft. Open source and any potential new entrants to the market would be dramatically limited if not killed entirely.
Well according to the c-roads simulator, if we reduce emmissions to zero this year, it still results in +1.5 C increase by the end of the century and stays there. I think that's roughly accurate if I recall the last IPCC report.

At this point it's more a question of what we can do to prepare ourselves for the fallout, we've done our waving to the moments when we could do something as they passed by.

The real question is what will destroy the ocean's food chain first, China's overfishing, the acidity and temperature increases, or the collapse of currents. Taking bets now.
Losing access to corpoweb may be a blessing, not a failure.

As someone who intentionally has removed myself from social media, it's been a win. The same goes for a lot of online services.

There is a cost side to this, it's not a free ride, but the scale problem reduces the cost. My crappy $200 hosting box scales to hundreds of users.
> When you include state taxes, social security from the employee and employer, then it starts to look like much less of a difference.

When you count just the taxes we definitely pay less, especially in places like Texas and Florida. Well, I suppose there's the budget deficit and national debt to consider, though yours aren't exactly great either.

Well, except that there's a middle income trap with social security taxes. Basically, you want to be earning either a fair bit more than the social security cut-off, or to be on welfare. This is a terrible feature of our system.

> When you include health insurance and college education, Americans get much less value.

Honestly I'm starting to believe that our tertiary education system is vastly overvalued and that we can do much better for much less cost. Also, we have state schools that are very good and very cheap (by comparison to private ones anyways). I know people who have done very well in tech without having gone to school or graduated.

As for medical, the only coverage I want is catastrophic, and if I could just just get that then health care would be way cheaper. Health care providers generally have much lower prices when you have no insurance and pay out of pocket.

> I do agree with the first half of your comment. American labor laws make it easier to fire which allows employers to take more risk in hiring.

This is, on the whole, a very very nice feature. We also have better political speech rights than you. And... well, the whole Bill of Rights is a big deal, and European countries mostly don't have anything like it.

I liked the 2017 Rick and Morty game. It's rather short, iirc about two hours.

We often used to hang out at my old place with a few friends (often the first days of the year, but also some weekends), playing boardgames, cooking together and taking it slow. We played the game on two or three of these occasions and having one person do a full play through with the others watching/commenting on the TV worked incredibly well. Plus, spectators don't need to focus on the game. I think one time we did two play throughs back to back (different players, and I think the second one wasn't there for the first round). Though the living room at that place was huge and allowed for a 3x4m arena with only minor inconveniences. And of course if people loath R&M it's less funny I'm afraid (but still a very nice VR puzzler!).
Only if the calendar and zodiac agreed on the month boundaries.

Sadly the actual zodiac and astrology do not agree on the month boundaries. And that is because astrologers are using an out of date calendar.

Wet wipes, no matter how much the manufacturer claims, are not flushable. They don't break down in water like toilet paper (why would they? defeats their purpose), and clog sewage lines like a mofo. Even if they don't affects the lines in your property, they very likely gather somewhere downstream. The alternative is throwing them in some kind of receptacle, which I understand is acceptable in some countries anyway due to poor sewage infrastructure.

> We want to teach students how to have a sustainable relationship with technology, where they gain digital literacy while also understanding how to take care of technology and avoid being wasteful. Chromebooks need to last longer and become easier to repair.

We want to teach students so much that we bought the cheapest junk available and now are shocked, shocked I tell you, that it's being depreciated (the devices that didn't fall apart or die early).

The hypocrisy of talking down to Google when they bought the wrong thing in the first place is rich. Google doesn't come out of this smelling like roses but come on.
In general the goal of trading is to know more than other traders.

High frequency trading is knowing about recent trades sooner than others. That's where the profit comes in.

I see a difference here to technical analysis. HFT clearly has a data edge over those who just look at historical trend lines.

I think it's reasonable to say this isn't technical analysis. It's not the historical analysis that gives the edge. It's the extra knowledge they have that gives the edge.

Technical analysis is very much rooted in purely the historical price. If you have a way to predict prices with more knowledge than just the historical price you're getting outside the realm of technical analysis and into the realm of plain regular analysis where you take as much knowledge as you possibly can about the stock and figure out the price based on that huge volume of knowledge.

This is why technical analysis is dumb. It assumes all the knowledge is in the price already and there's no way for some investors to know more than others outside the scope of that. HFT is in fact a great counter to that. Some people know incoming trades before the rest of the market. That extra knowledge allows for vast profits.
I thought my software should randomize config and install locations for security reasons? And also that I should add salt to binaries so that each binary has a unique hash. Also it should prompt users to change passwords every 72 hours and lock them out after two incorrect tries. Also, for database connections, it should require the connection to the database be on a non-default port. Also, it should not be possible to administer over SSH, only over telnet.
In fairness, the paper isn't exactly humble about its claims. But I appreciate their candor, and if they believe they've found a RTP superconductor and sufficiently verified it is a RTP superconductor, a bit of arrogance isn't unwarranted.
Previous improvements in high-temperature superconductors already made it possible to build a MRI machine using LN2 instead of LHe. I think all existing operational units still use LHe, but using LN2 has been demonstrated in lab conditions, and the next generation of machines will almost certainly use it instead of helium.
IMO, there's been a bit of a tonal shift on HN since the last reddit "crisis". Possibly related.
Yes, why, apparently they did?

It's not like DNSimple was or is offering a compelling service, price-wise and/or feature-wise? At US$2/month/zone, even Amazon Route53 and Cloudflare DNS are significantly cheaper, and offer the same services, unless you need ccTLDs not available there?

So, you can either vote with your wallet, or contact their support and ask?
It's not a co-operative, just a non-profit. The devs are employees of the corporation just like for any other company. Honestly, I think the company makes good revenue and don't rely too much on donations. Using their products and being their customer is probably more valuable to them and their manifesto.
Yeah, I'm sure it's hard, if you try to do it from memory and haven't done it in years. You could just take 5 min to refresh your memory by looking at the first 3 pages of any Java book though. Or stack overflow for goodness sake. "Hello world in Java"

This is an example of making things harder on yourself for no reason and then complaining about your tools instead of your own artificial restrictions. There's no shame in looking some syntax up if you haven't done it in many years.

You said there were 20 things in there but I only count two unique values that aren't just boilerplate you could look up in a minute-- the package name and class name.

I just get tired of these kinds of superficial complaints about java "lol hello world takes 4 lines instead of 1" -- that barely affects any program that's more than 20 lines long. I just think you're part of the generation that grew up making fun of Java and it's just reflexive at this point. But, it's unfair.

Compare to a language like ruby -- hello world is one line but I have to learn a bunch of weird symbols

Lol, that said, the latest Java edition now has a way to avoid the public class business so your hello world can just be 3 lines, one of which is the closing brace. They did it to shut up these kinds of trivial complaints.
This article isn't great. He says "the IPCC says we won't see extreme weather until 2100.... (except for extreme heat and cold which the IPCC says is already here)"

Okay? A lot of the discourse is explicitly about the heat and cold.
Even further more, let us not forget many many employeers are single person business owners as well. So ease of firing is beneficial to the employer, who is also an american citizen with rights. For example, the right not to keep a dickhead on the payroll just cause the law says they have to

Do you honestly believe, in today's day and age, that the primary driver of obesity is lack of knowledge?

I'm a moderator on the site and I've worked a bit on the client and know the admins/developers. Currently the client you see on that github (https://github.com/OurSources/owop-client) is mostly up to date, but the current server is private. The server is written in C++ and uses synchronous disk operations, which makes it quite slow when lots of people are online like right now. A rewritten and improved version of the site should come out by the end of the year.

The server runs in a single thread, so it's not really possible for two websocket messages to come in at the same time. One edit will come before the other, and the later edit is the one that everyone will see.
I still can't believe how they outlawed flavored vapes. Want to quit? Try this stale awful fake tobacco smoke option, because a mango juul pod sold behind the counter with an ID check that is regularly tested by police is too tempting for the youth who are still smoking and vaping anyhow. Meanwhile you have blueberry vodka in arms reach at the grocery store. Bud light seltzer in attractive summer packaging in every fruity tutti flavor next to the 7 up at the gas station. It's all a bullshit farce and really goes to show how leveraged our lawmakers are in companies like Altria.
Potentially LMT, material science companies, and companies producing anxiolytics.
