That is not medically accurate. There are some low-quality observational studies which show a weak correlation between cancer rates and subject-reported consumption of certain types of preserved meats. Those studies were mostly junk science with multiple uncontrolled variables.

It's specifically the nicotine in tobacco that is somewhat addictive. But nicotine isn't generally considered to be a carcinogen by itself.
I visited the Dominican Republic several years ago, and at the all inclusive free beer stand people were getting glasses of 50% El Presidente pilsner and 50% soda water. To me that was a little bit alien, because it implies they like the taste of beer.
I'm surprised nobody is mentioning one of the largest factors. If you're a heavy user of chatGPT, the equivalent cost of using the smallest GPT4 model would run you a hell of a lot more.

The cost of the GPT-4 API is ballpark around $0.05 / 1000 tokens. If you want to include a rolling context window, you will easily hit 1000+ tokens if not a huge amount more. ChatGPT pro gives you 50 GPT-4 queries every three hours. If you're using it all day you might average about 100 daily queries. Using a dedicated GPT4 API would run you approximately five dollars a day for the same thing - that's $150 a month as opposed to flat cost of $20.
People do read comments and criticisms about themselves strongly negatively.

This is particularly the case where there seems to be an existing communications failure --- talking cross-purposes, not being heard/seen, failure to acknowledge points or caveats, uncharitable constructions, and the like.

The knack of delivering criticism without aggravation or raising hackles is a true skill. It's one dang's developed well, though he's not always successful. Part of his toolkit is having a set of standard responses to situations which have been honed over time. I'll often link to his own admonitions, though even that doesn't always work, see: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36890303>.

I give an honest effort, then try as best I can to roll with it.

On some platforms it's possible to mute or block profiles, and I find that that's a tremendously useful capability. (I feature the advice as one of the pinned toots on my Fediverse profile: "Block fuckwits". And acknowledge that, yes, sometimes I'm the fuckwit.)

HN for various reasons doesn't offer this as basic functionality. It does have the option of collapsing threads (the setting is retained until a post is about a week or two old, due to systems limitations of the HN server itself). But at least the annoyance isn't staring you in the face whenever you return to your past threads for that week or so.

Even with technologically-mediated options, the practice goes against fundamental human psychology, which is to defend oneself.

(There's a parallel to this I'd thought of in an earlier response but didn't mention at the time: under US law, there is a legal protection against self-incrimination, but that is instituted insidiously in that in order to invoke it, one must forgo the option of defending oneself in the moment. Legally, to have that option one must have a legal advocate, though that costs money, which many defendants in either criminal or civil cases don't have the wealth to access. In that light, Fifth Amendment protections are something of a cruel joke against psychology.)
Hard to say. The French system is different, and may have better results in some cases.

I am sober for about 15 years already. Woke up one morning after a party and the thought came - why the fuck am I doing it? Alcohol was fun at first, later it became utterly boring. No more fun and occasional hangover. Also I've never developed taste for any spirits / wines. So I just stopped. well I may have drank half a glass 1 or 2 times a year during some those 15 years but do not really make anything put of it. I've not taken an oath ;)
All this drama greatly reduces the likelihood this will turn out well.
Apparently it is not. The reddit thread has an ex Apple employee who runs repair shops in Germany. He says if you just change the serial number of a iPad screen(using specialised hardware) in existing iPad this issue will appear. This seems to indicate that it’s intentionally done by Apple.

Other option is that Apple bakes in calibration details of all possible serial numbers in every iPad sold which doesn’t sound like a plausible scenario.

Mass immigration is becoming a zero-sum game. Japan's immigrants mostly come from China and Vietnam -- both of which countries have sub-replacement fertility themselves. Quite catastrophically so in China's case.

Now in mid-2023, the only countries with above replacement fertility are not "modern" societies in any sense of the word. e.g., even Bangladesh is now sub-replacement. Mass immigration from places with still-above-replacement fertility into countries like Japan and the UK is a recipe for disaster.

So #2 isn't happening, and #3 should be disfavored on ethical grounds. (Robbing Peter to pay Paul is at best ethically neutral; importing a natural underclass is to everybody's detriment and can only result in upheaval.)

#4 is the best option on the table.

Of course, there are additional ways by which the decline might be managed. Obviously pension and retirement schemes will need to be recalibrated, and older folks should be encouraged to move from the decaying periphery into large regional hubs where they can take advantage of support and medical services.

> at the local cram center.

If school covers the advanced topics, we wouldn't need any cram center. Case in point, my teacher gave my class such challenging problems when I grew up, that tutoring schools were never necessary.

Also, not every tutoring school is about cramming. Instead, they are simply accelerating. The Art of Problem Solving is one of such schools. Another example would be those math camps, such as Math Path. Maths are fun, powerful, beautiful, and leads kids towards a promising future. American schools simply don't care enough about it.

Asking for a source is not being upset, but way to bring an ad hominem into it along with the moved goalposts. You’re just going for all the fallacies aren’t you?

I guess it’s easier for you to move goal posts and make claims than it is to back them up when pushed to do so.

You literally have not provided a single thing to back anything you’ve said up and are pretending like somehow I’m the unreasonable person.

Next time, just be consistent in your claims and back your shit up. It’s really not that hard.
But i'm not talking about health effects of salt in Coca Cola ... I'm questioning the reason why it's included at all.

As you said ... it's not much, you won't even notice it. So the reason it's there is to increase consumption (to keep you thirsty and to tolerate more sugar) and addiction.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I appreciate the insight.

I write fairly robust software. Not milspec, but a bit tougher than your average app.

I'm interested in mesh systems, but have found Meshtastic a bit too "raw" for my tastes (but maybe later, when I'm done with this project I'm working on), and the proprietary ones won't share their API.

The reason is that I'm interested in writing software that helps people help people. For free.

It's kind of shocking how hard that is to do. No one wants to support or encourage that kind of thing, so I generally have to go it fairly alone.

WIRED DATA CONNECTION.

It needs a wired data connection. For crying out loud. Don't screw this up like PurpleAir did.

You already have a micro-usb (or maybe usb-c) plug for the power. You're not adding an extra wire.

The amount of nightmarish grief the wifi in purpleairs causes makes me want to scream.

Even if you manage to magically fix all the reliability problems, it's a safety issue. A town near me whose economy is supported by a paper mill hunted down the person who was running a purpleair and pressured their landlord into cancelling their lease. The town then set up indoor stations at the school and library -- where they report on filtered, air-conditioned air.

You can wardrive for these things using their MAC address. They have to be outdoors.

Stop it.
The trouble is you need a ton of water and fertilizer to support that growth, and drought combined with soil quality degradation is already a huge problem in a lot of regions, and will only become moreso as the globe warms and, p.s., fertilizer production is heavily dependent on petrochemicals and contributes to CO2 emissions.

It could be a huge development, no doubt, but there are many bottlenecks in agricultural production, so we need to be careful not to oversell this as some kind of panacea.

Would emissions really decline by a measurable amount if the changes were limited to that?

If we're going to have any impact on the climate, changes need to be drastic and on a global scale. But at the same time, governments will not accept an end to economic growth, let alone a managed 'degrowth'. They can't even allow an end to population growth as it's such an important factor in economic growth.

If we can't even end the era of hugely destructive wars between nations, what hope is there for the human race coming together on the scale necessary to slow/reverse climate change?

Gosh, yes, I find this style of obtuse labeling of buttons to be really annoying. It's especially prevalent when you're trying to get to API docs on some new framework you're checking out. Like, don't tell me I want to get started. Take me to the docs so I can decide if it's worth my time.

On reflection, this progression from function to call to action to obfuscated self-help-ish verbiage seems more like a general trend in marketing at all levels. Obviously, it must work in A/B testing, but I'm not sure it works in the general case. Here in the 2020s I think it serves as a kind of regurgitation of 1960s argle-bargle that's a callback to what's embedded in the brains of the children of boomers who picked up their parents' linguistic preference for out-there-isms to describe sensations of freedom from the old rigid hierarchies of the 1950s. So it's an appeal to nostalgia as much as a form of vaguely insulting corporate-speak.

"alcoholic" is a loaded overused and archaic term. Just like any other health condition, alcohol use disorder, or AUD has a scale. The DSM has a handy guide that's super easy to diagnose where you are on the spectrum: https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/sites/default/files/DSMfact.pdf

There are people who haven't done anything inappropriate, dangerous, or illegal, yet have ended up in a severe health crisis because they were thinking "hey... I didn't quite reach the threshold of "alcoholic" so I can just continue the lifestyle".

The realization that functions can be treated as elements in an abstract vector space (with infinitely many dimensions) is a turning point in the history of mathematics that led to the emergence of the sub-field known as functional analysis.

The significance of this paradigm shift is that it allowed mathematicians to apply some of the geometric intuition developed from the study of finite-dimensional spaces (such as the 3D Euclidean space) to difficult questions involving functions, such as the existence of solutions to certain differential equations.

The history of this change of perspective is absolutely fascinating and can be traced back to the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. At the time, work on axiomatic foundations of mathematics was driving a systematization of the study of mathematical objects by capturing their structure with a concise list of axioms. This is for example how the concept of an abstract vector space was born, encompassing not only Euclidean spaces but also infinite-dimensional spaces of functions.

An early reference already demonstrating this change of perspective, albeit in a primitive form, is a memoir by Vito Volterra from 1889 [1]. The PhD thesis of Maurice Fréchet from 1906 [2] is arguably the work that was most influential in crystalizing the new paradigm and presenting it in a modern form that served as a key reference for the first half of the 19th century. Of course, these are only two among a multitude of works around that time. Looking at later developments in the 19th century, it is hard not to also mention the book by Stefan Banach from 1932 [3].

> Yet Japan is highly pedestrian.

Japan’s cars are mostly small, civilized and without tinted windows.

Sidewalks next to large roads generally have a barrier that clearly separates the bike/pedestrian traffic from the cars.

If there’s roads where there is no separation between cars and pedestrians the speed for the cars is generally limited to 30km/h.

Streets also have natural speedbumps in the form of lantern and electricity poles essentially standing on the street, instead of the sidewalk.

I certainly feel safer walking here than anywhere in the US.
> Look at what happened with Juul. Maybe it's changed now, but they had a safer alternative and got shut down.

1. They got in trouble for marketing to teenagers, not for making health claims.

2. They are a going concern, they haven't been shut down. At least not yet.

> On June 23, 2022, the FDA denied authorization for Juul to continue selling its products in the United States, and issued Marketing Denial Orders banning any further marketing or sale of the products effective immediately. That order was blocked by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. the next day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juul

Regardless, they are only one brand, there are many companies with nearly identical products.

3. I'm not an expert but from what I've read, it seems like the there's evidence they may be safer than smoking, but it seems like there isn't enough data to declare that conclusively. Additionally, if it makes tobacco consumption not accessible to a younger audience, it seems like that is going to cancel out the benefit (on a societal scale).

So, I think it's premature to declare them safer.
The thought occurs that you might want to look for an API or application development guidelines, if any exist.

Another option would be to set up your own automated phone system, and program that to navigate through and process your voicemail. You might have to go through the analogue hole (that is, record the playback rather than have the message file itself sent to you), but you might be able to process a large number of messages in that way.

StackExchange or a similar site might also have more suggestions.

Interesting question, FWIW.

(If it's not obvious, I've no direct experience of relevance here. I did have a workplace voicemail system that would send messages as files at one point, but that was long, long ago.)
>One exercise to illustrate the ridiculousness and disrespect of phrases like that is to replace "alcohol" with "crack".

Or replace it with "oxygen" and see how ridiculous it is to suggest absteining from it. See how bad analogies cut both ways?
> I have found the most correct position, and I will now defend it. I challenge you to prove that I am not doing this.

What evidence could I provide that would change your mind?

If you can point to some kind of evidence (group study above X p value, double blind study, expert opinion, etc) then we are having a proper debate.

If one of the candidates can't list some criteria that would make them update their position, then we are not debating we are proslytizing.

Tools only work when you don't abuse them. That they can be gamed doesn't make them not effective, it just means you need to realize that they can be gamed.
The EPA limit for NO2 is 100ppb; have you found a sensor that can reliably report levels near that threshhold for less than $500? I haven't. Also the ones that don't require frequent recalibration seemed to be even more expensive.
I'm a young person myself and I sometimes find myself thinking like a stereotypical conservative curmudgeon. Not really in terms of typical "US conservative values" but rather "I'm stubborn about my opinions". I think some of the more recent discourse is valuable but a lot is radical to the point of absurdity. I like the phrase "have an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out". I think I'm better at this balancing act than a lot of "young people".

Based the article, the usage of these kritiks seems to sometimes be quite damaging to productive debate:

> For example, many leftist judges will not accept a response to a Marxism kritik that argues that capitalism is good. Instead, debaters have to concede that capitalism is a bad system and make other leftist arguments like, “it’s capitalistic to fail to argue for the topic” and “Marxism isn’t the most effective response to capitalism; instead we need to look to other critical theories"

> Kritiks are often (although not always) strategically employed by students from big, well-funded debate programs. Their opponents—who often attend schools with fewer coaches and resources—may not be familiar with the dense philosophical arguments.

Also, I disagree with the premise that "reform is hopeless and the only solution is to burn it all down", so I guess I won't quite see eye to eye with these people.
