This is the paper used to support the claim in [1]: https://www.jstor.org/stable/43866446. It can be read via an institution account or that website. The main claim is that regions with higher keju quotas had higher incidences of revolutionary activity in 1911, using what appears to be purely statistical methods. The paper's conclusion did not state the abolition of Keju was the decisive factor in the fall of the imperial dynasty, and acknowledged by quoting Huntington's Political Order in Changing Societies, “necessarily involved the alienation
of many groups from the existing order” like all revolutions.

So I think the author misappropriated the paper to support their own argument. It's possible that the abolition of Keju increased regional unrest which contributed to higher incidences of rebellion in 1911, but itself did not "spark" rebellions on its own. The 1911 revolution began with the Wuchang uprising which was started by Westernized "New Army" divisions of the Qing Dynasty, an effort that began in 1895 and was not tied to Keju. It ended quickly because Yuan Shikai, the real commander of the remaining loyal New army in the North, realized he could make a powerplay by forcing the imperial court to abdicate the convince the revolutionaries to support him as president instead.
I think the underlying concern is that house trading in the market isn't going to be liquid and hard to believe prices will stay high.
Ok I guess it depends what you think of state of the art as being. I was thinking in terms of the best option that is somewhat generally available, like the best thing I could do with tools and techniques available. Qualcomm's research is better, but at an earlier stage. Maybe that is state of the art! Not quite as useful as I was thinking about though.

> “To us,” said D. H. Lawrence, “heaven switches on daylight, or turns on the showerbath. We little gods are gods of the machine only. It is our highest. Our cosmos is a great engine. And we die of ennui. A subtle dragon stings us in the midst of plenty.”
> What's up with Toyota? They had a head start on everybody for a long time with their hybrids and now it's one weird scheme after another.

Contrary to the heavy-handed tone of this article, I don't think that's actually true; Toyota is invested in EVs -- BEVs as well as FCEVs -- as well as doing far-out (and almost certain to be commercially unviable) efforts like this.

And FCEVs, while perhaps also a dead end, weren't a weird scheme they got into after they had a lead with hybrids, they started FCEV work 5 years before the first Prius was introduced in Japan.

> every other brand can't seem to retool fast enough to get to zero emissions line-ups as soon as they can design them and here is Toyota going against the flow with not just one but two exotic designs for which there is at present absolutely no infrastructure and no viable pathway to get there based on a single manufacturer's blessing

I assume you mean hydrogen FCEVs and Ammonia; the latter isn't in production and is not even at a concept-demo level, just an engine demo, the former...isn't a single manufacturer thing (Honda actually introduced FCEVs first, and is still selling them as well; they've been clear they see BEVs as definitely more dominant in the near term, but FCEVs as a potential longer-term play and they are keeping their oar in that market.)

Toyota (and Honda, and others -- e.g., Nissan and its "bio-ethanol" fueled fuel cell work) are just not putting all their eggs in one basket.

When you purchase a car, you're not allowed to build copies of that car and sell them. You purchase the design of a car the same way you purchase a copy of software. You own the physical storage the software comes on, the same way you own the physical metal, rubber, and plastic of the car, but the design isn't yours.

Why are we allowed to look under the hood of a car we buy and even install our own modifications, but when we purchase software? Why can we alter and replace metal frames, but not alter the storage cells on our phones and computers?

> Some researchers now believe that many if not most of the benefits come from all of the microbial action prior to consumption.

That seems counter to the whole idea behind modern research on the importance of the gut microbiome and a throwback to the thinking of the previous century.

Certainly some of the work of bacteria is done before but that’s well known as many foods are fermented but the cultures are killed or pasteurized afterwards. Classic American yoghurt was like this, but there’s clear benefits to yoghurt with live cultures. Even if many bacteria don’t colonize the gut their presence in the food or taken separately appears important.

In my opinion the evidence is overwhelming that actual probiotic bacteria themselves are important, not just their by products in the food. Our immune system detects healthy bacteria both living and dead and lowers inflammation in response, etc. There’s a lot of research on the topic and good summary research (1, 2). The presence of the bacteria also change the gene regulation in the intestines.

Fecal transplants can directly treat diseases, or trigger diseases with maladaptive bacteria (3).

Where does the octopus fit in your "similar species/genetic relatedness" equation?

I have read that cephalopods are on a genetic tree that diverged from our own before the emergence of photosynthesis. It seems that we are more closely related to most plants that we are to octopuses... yet they are able to befriend humans, clearly have emotions and undoubtedly experience pain. It is even the case that they generate hormones that are nearly chemically identical to our own for similar emotional states, fight-or-flight for example.

So, octopuses are pretty similar to us and yet more distant genetic relatives than your salad!

"What are the best books on Goodreads? ... those with the highest average rating. But in practice, this metric is skewed towards new books and books with few ratings."

The books in the "Apex" table with the highest score tend towards new as well. A few observations.

#1 is from 2005, Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.

Now Watterson certainly deserves adulation, but above all the others over the past thousand years?

#2 is Brandon Sanderson's 2014 novel Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, #2) from his "immersive fantasy epic" that I learned about reading this post.

There are only 8 entries from before the year Gutenberg first ruined a perfectly good wine press by spilling ink all over it. Nothing at all from the 18th century. Bypassing the 1700s titles that include Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe; Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho.

Of course, the most obvious but expected bias is the inclusion of nearly no one outside of Western writers, writing in English. The exceptions are only in translation. Surely somewhere between the time of William Shakespeare and the time of Rebecca Yarros there must be worthy books in other languages and cultures, standing on their own in that milieu.

Keep in mind this sort of bias when evaluating the results of those Statistical Human Imitation Technology bots.

Poverty can be an indicator of people stranded in an environment where they cannot afford to move away to one with jobs, or it can be an indication of people attracted to an environment where they can improve their lives at a lower cost of living.

In a large enough geography there can of course be both dynamics at play.

If a place's population increased and the impoverished population shot up, then, at first, it would give me pause that perhaps people were getting stuck there. It wouldn't be the first time that brain drain happened in advance of urban retooling and job loss. Witness the great brain drain from the rural US into inner city manufacturing neighborhoods while factory jobs were already beginning to leave those city centers. The successful cities of England's North endured something similar at the same postwar moment in their much longer history.

That Texas keeps showing this behavior of parallel growth in popularity and poverty for decades on end, though, makes much more explanatory the latter idea -- that e.g. metropolitan San Antonio is popular and a ladder for the underdogs of both the American economy and several Central American ones. California had a very similar and bipartisan growth dynamic in the 1910s-1980s before some Californians started pulling up the ladder behind them. Would be interesting to see a trajectory of housing costs near job growth in that state over time and whether land offers Texas any real buffer against such a trajectory.

> I'm almost at a point where I can build entire complex apps using only HTML on the front end and JSON on the back end with essentially no code.

I think you are missing the point of no-code. Your solution isn't even low-code, you just created a framework with well-thought components to start a project. If you need to integrate a third-party component that uses code, you'll need to integrate that code in your HTML/JSON or create a new abstraction in JS to use in the HTML.

disclaimer: I'm creating a "similar" platform and got curious by what would set your SDK apart from mainstream frameworks but I don't think what you described is anything different. For the view part, is it using something like htmx, react or pure JS?

Eh, Fascism is a specific version of authoritarian nationalism, but you can have the latter without it being the former (e.g. Napoleonic France, the Kaiserreich). We never refer to modern China as fascist and it has all of those qualities.

I can't think of an authoritarian nationalist leader who didn't also have a significant measure of control over industry as well, so I think authoritarianism in general usually will involve a high degree of state control.

To get very hippy about it.

If you've ever been around an old growth tree, let alone entire forest, or something mega like a redwood, it makes sense that they can (a) communicate and (b) feel. There's just something so, I don't know, intense about a living organism that big.

It just seems like the feelings would be glacially slow.

Also, if you've never read The Overstory, do yourself a favor. Also listen to Richard on npr. He lays out the argument of trees as thinking, feeling, and caring entities. It's really strong.

fair enough. I've only done vegetarianism and veganism for (selfish) health reasons. I can't seem to get things to grow in the ground here, probably because of all the pine stands and i can't get the ratio of lye correct to promote stuff like corn or oats to grow. Luckily trees grow fine... the rabbits, squirrels, and birds thank me every year when they get to the fruit before i can. It's also rural here, so being vegan is incredibly difficult (read: boring). I could, technically, survive on oatmeal, french/italian bread, potatos, and ketchup. But i don't have the moral fortitude to make the leap. maybe in the future.

Thanks for responding and I hope my question was worded inoffensively. I hate to sound like i am JAQ-ing off.
Gao Kao in its present form hasn't really changed much since 1978. Xi was still an university student in that year. So I don't see the point of blaming Gao Kao for making the country slip back into incompetent autocracy when the glaring problem is the lack of checks and balances to prevent an incompetent person from obtaining unchallengable absolute power. Checks and balances can exist in non-democratic systems too, it's about the design not the principle.

An Audioblogging Manifesto
> Searching HN for "insider trading", around 80% of the stories are about insider trading happening on Wall Street

Because most insider trading is trivial to catch. An insider trader has to act ex ante. That's difficult on multiple levels: acquisition of the information, predicting its effect and executing the trades all while evading capture. Detection, on the other hand, is ex post facto: find unusually profitable trades after the information has occurred. That's what the SEC does. To the extent insider traders aren't caught, it's because they failed to turn a profit.

Look at the people being caught insider trading; they're rarely professionals. Because professionals know how hard it is relative to the gains. Instead, it's mostly numpties who heard about an acquisition from their spouse or whatever.

With crypto, we have the tape. But linking the wallets to the numpties is hard. (Also fewer people care about the victims, let's be honest.) Imagine if this chain had real names attached to it. We'd have a predictable list of offenders to prosecute.
I'd say teams are way more likely to avoid clearly bad decisions.

Now your statement is so clearly absolutist in its tone, so to speak specifically, I would say teams will largely point to the best outcome eventually but often pays the bill in over lost efficiency.

Individuals make bad takes, sometimes they have personality issues, sometimes then have a terrible day and are dialing it in at work who knows. What I know is that it's less likely that an entire team are living their worst day at the same time which could lead to catastrophically bad decisions.
