Yeah basically surveillance bias, it's mentioned as a possibility in the discussion.

T2D feels like it could be a combination of both, there was certainly an increase in metabolic risk factors as well.

The authors also mention acute stress response may have contributed to increased detection of previously undiagnosed diabetes.

The continuing trend will be interesting to see. For example T1D in the 0-9 group reaches a 5 year low in Q4 2021. I think it's too early to conclude much, we'll better understand the ramifications of the pandemic and virus in another 2-5 years.

> Within KPSC, while there were no initiatives for increased diabetes screening among at-risk patients, the shift to increased virtual care allowed for better electronic monitoring of patients’ health status, which may account for some additional patients with diabetes detected during the pandemic years.

> Acute stress of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to increase blood glucose levels, and individuals with previously undiagnosed diabetes may receive a diagnosis when presenting to hospitals for infection-related care.

Apparently a value below 20% is more acceptable.

> [Piracy:] When I download a movie this way, I truly own it.

When you download a pirated copy, it's more likely that you _possess_ it, rather than _owning_ it. You are in control of the bits and bytes, they will not just disappear; but since your copy is unlicensed and illicit, the copyright holder could take legal steps to make you delete your copy (and pay for your infringement on their copyright).

> Same as I own a DVD disk.

That's different. You own the physical disc, and the right to re-sell or potentially lend out that physical disc. (However, you can't take the data from that disc, and stream it to a public audience on the internet.)

> [...] rewatch some episodes just plugging the disk via USB

Depends on your jurisdiction, but in many places it is legal for you to create a backup of a physical disc that you own, and make personal use of that backup. In some places you are allowed to share your backup copy with friends and family (on a non-commercial basis, of course). It gets nuanced.
If it was so profitable there would be many copycats, like with their streaming business.

I don’t know of any copycat.
Ask HN: Is the Raspberry Pi the Commodore 64 of this generation? Cheap computer

There was a fear that having to create an index on a table that large would take a long time, and I think some of it was also ego "I intentionally didn't add it in, because so and so reason". This was why I dug in and did my thing, debunk all the fear / opinions / rationalization. Sometimes you just gotta be able to tell people they're wrong supported with empirical evidence. That's how the team will grow. There is just no need to dance around facts. I remember having to tell the team, "taking a long time to run an index is no reason to avoid creating the index".

Thank you for your opinion.

As stated in the article:

... and may lead to diabetes.

'May' is a qualifying word and that sentence is immediately followed by:

Additionally, diabetes risk factors may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic including ...

(Which I think most people would interpret as "nothing is entirely certain thus far, it appears to be a complex multifactor kind of thing".)

FWiW I addressed the title and the article's primary focus, Type-2 diabetes, and linked to detailed comparative factor breakdowns for Type-2 diabetes.
This. The rates of chronic fatigue, mental illness, dementia are all massively increasing, with increasing evidence linking them to persistent infections and gut dysbiosis, and nobody cares to fix it.

Seeing everyone scrambling to drag life out without doing anything about its quality is just absurd.

Maybe not in the middle of a meeting but Amazon commonly has the first half of a meeting (I've experienced as long as 20 mins) to read a document by the host altogether silently before starting. People commonly would add comments during this time.

At google, doc reading is done before the meeting along with comments/replies, but during a design review, the host will go through each comment and then open a live discussion if needed.

Both of these formats allow for productive meetings but it does require a culture to support it and people to write down their thoughts ahead of the meeting and share it around.

The last sticking point between the Writers Guild and studios involved artificial intelligence. On Saturday, lawyers for the entertainment companies came up with language — a couple paragraphs inside a contract that runs hundreds of pages — that addressed a guild concern about A.I. and old scripts that studios own. The sides spent several hours on Sunday making additional tweaks.

The Actors remain out. Presumably, Botox has made them look so wooden the AI is now more believable.

Residuals are a con people! Tax dodges abound, there is no "profit sharing" in the coke fuelled movie biz. Get paid up front, or get lawyered up, and get the financials checked. Disney doesn't want to share money with you.
Yeah, I think though what happened in this scenario probably happens a lot everywhere else also. In my entire career, this type of scenario is very typical. Lots of Meetings / discussions, standups and talking uselessly without jumping in face to face with the actual problem. Things get in the way of the science and facts. Which is why it's important to remove fear, think from first principles and break things down and get your hands dirty.
Code is much harder to maintain than it is to create, overall. Adding lines of code to a project is a net negative in the long run if they are not actively maintained by the original author. So as a project maintainer, you don't really want lots of small contributions from random people who don't stick around, at least not when they are adding new behavior to your project.

And having thousands of one-line dependencies is actually much worse than having one thousand-lines dependency, since you now depend on the whims of each of those creators not to stop distributing their work, not to change their license, not to inject malicious code, to address zero-days etc.. Ultimately external dependencies are a form of collaboration, and it's very hard work to efficiently collaborate with thousands of people.

Are you upset by people who don't refer to tomatoes as berries? Because, scientifically, they are.
Did they say that? Are you referring to this section or did I miss something, I mostly skimmed the JAMA article:

> In our study, baseline clinical characteristics of patients with incident type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes were not different during nonpandemic and pandemic years. This is consistent with other studies showing similarity in age, HbA1c, and body mass index among patients with incident diabetes before and during the pandemic.

If this is the section you mean that's not discordant, what they're saying is that people with diabetes have similar characteristics during non pandemic and pandemic years. It doesn't comment on whether more people in general have increased BMI therefore placing them at risk for T2DM.
Is there a place where HN publishes some sort of changelog?
Absolutely! Here’s one I found very useful just the other day, client-zip: https://github.com/Touffy/client-zip#usage

(Three functions rather than one, but it’s one main entrypoint and a couple of minor variants.)

I think this is a really well-designed API, and greatly preferable to a more fine-grained OO approach. It does a lot of work under the hood but keeps it carefully contained so you don’t get a bunch of dependency sprawl.
I can build that selling a dollar for 95 cents. How much are you willing to pay for that business?
Yeah, in principle no market is open, but in the other hand the “openness” of the European vs Chinese markets is not even comparable. China’s market is notoriously difficult for foreign companies to enter and to operate in.

For starters, Europe doesn’t have the Communist Party dictatorship that can arbitrarily fuck your business over on a whim with no possibility for recourse because the Party is judge, jury and executioner.

China is a scary place to do business if you’re not a huge multinational with leverage.

Do you owe debts for a business deal/partnership gone wrong? Congrats your creditors can have you banned from leaving the country until they are paid. Oops you weren’t even notified there would be a court hearing against you, so you’re not aware of the debt until you tried to board a flight. I hope you didn’t think you had any chance to appeal that bad decision because the courts will side with the local Chinese over the foreigner.

Oh and let’s not forget the Canadian Michaels’ ordeal.

It's more like a few thousand per second, and enqueues win, not dequeues like you say... on very small hardware without tuning. If you're at tens of tasks per second, you have a whole lot of breathing room: don't build for 100x current requirements.

Airlines, hotels, car rental agencies all overbook as a matter of course. You assert that car rentals are worse than airlines. But you cite no numbers, no sources, so... Maybe?

Not sure it is even the best comparison since we are talking reliability. Airlines manage overbooking very well, but flights delays and cancellations are the reliability issue.
The argument is stated-- you shouldn't adopt too many technologies. The author merely says that if you're running postgres already, you should seriously consider it for your queue. They also point out that many of the arguments against psql-as-queue are flawed.
Alternatively you can look at them by relaxing the eyes to infinity (parallel lines), which I find much less painful than going cross-eye.

Resolution stops mattering much at a certain point, but that point is higher than a slightly widened standard definition.

And other people mentioned that codec matters, but not the full extent. Not only is the encoding on a DVD about 10x worse than a modern codec, 10Mbps is a peak you're unlikely to ever see. I'm skeptical that a well-encoded 1Mbps 720p stream would ever lose to a DVD, and I'm confident that at 2Mbps you'd leave the DVD in the dust.

No, the problem is PLENTY of people want to buy to speculate in PRC RE bubble, which cost even more in terms of misallocation long term. Hence RE crackdown, now there's vacancy rate / oversupply of ~50m units, which can be soaked up in ~5 years of urbanization. PRC urbanization goal in next 5 years is 65->70%, 75% around 2035, that's 140m bodies = more than 50m households. That's not even considering many of these vacant units are for 10s of millions of youths kids once they get married. Sure some speculators will get fuckedjust like millions of forclosures in US during GFC, some of the units are genuinely misallocated (poor geography relative to demand etc). That's unavoidable when a bubble gets popped.

The current problem isn't excess housing stock, 50m is wasteful but not excessively so buffer. The problem was presales was tying up too much investment in RE, driving up housing prices and affordibility. Central gov wants people to invest in SMIC not Evergrande, so 3RL crackdown which is going to take a few years to unwind as central gov forces developers to finish or return deposits while they're being slowly dismantled - priority is to make buyers whole. In the mean time there's some capital stuck in the system, which is bad but not end of world. Medium long term, PRC's initial shitty housing stock is approaching 50+ years end of life, and demand for new replacement square meter is going to kick in.

TLDR is the inefficiency is not primarily the surplus, it's the bubble, and the bubble sapping investments away from other sectors.

The entire EV graveyard narrative is extra retardedly overblown by western media (like bike graveyards). There's a few car share fleet graveyard and subsidy scams amounting to a few 100s of thousands of heavily used urban fleet cars or useless scam chasis. This is out of growing 2-3m total car share fleet and projected 100s of millions of future EV sales. Now both sectors have or is active being consolidated to drive out bad players. Bluntly, it's fucking nothing, a few billion in waste vs 100s of billions gained per year in building new sector. Hurricanes destroy significantly more cars than that every few years in the US. Like everytime PRC decides to go HAM on pursuing an sector, there's some initial overcapacity and waste but things even out when sector matures. Ask any auto export power if they would waste a few billion dollars and few hundred thousand scraped hulls to be where PRC EV is now, and they'd say yes to a trade 10x that.
That's because HN actively promotes Elixir. Even simple posts with 3 points hit front page.
"To get a [wageslave] job".

(Young) people aren't averse to putting in the time: the are averse because they know that even if they put in 60H per week they still won't be financially set and be working until their death.

They know that even after 60H a week they will still have a job that they dread going to on monday and will look forward to fridays where they can finaly escape the job.

The solution is to put those 60H into a side project that get make you enough $$$ to quit the rat race and not in a "job".
Practically speaking, when you want to link to the latter in a markdown that already utilises parens, you encounter more friction - cutting and pasting a url with parens from the address bar needs manual correction if used to create a link in (say) reddit's markdown syntax.
