I'm taking a pill containing vitamin D plus zinc from time to time when I remember and I'm in the mood. Like parsley in soup, it probably doesn't hurt, doesn't help (much) either.

One thing you might wanna check is your B12 vitamin blood level. I paid some 20$ once to get that checked and was on the low side. A colleague of mine tested herself after hearing me and was well below limit, doctor straight went to inject her with vitamin shots.

Apparently it causes irreversible neurological damage if too low for too long.

And I'm no vegetarian (B12 is only found in meat). But seems like a lot of people don't absorb it well. There's more in liver than regular meat so I make myself liver with onion stew from time to time (only way I can eat it, grilled liver I find repulsive). Also... don't exagerate on the liver coze you might get hypervitaminosis A for a change :) Oh, and when you eat your liver for B12, avoid side dish salad. Vitamin C blocks absorbtion of B12 it seems so you'd be eating that liver in vain (for the intended purpose, it still fills you up).
The iPhone is like a vehicle (car, motorcycle, John Deere tractor, etc).
iPhone apps are like after market vehicle parts.

As a vehicle owner I'd like to be able to have a choice whether I want to install OEM parts or after market parts. The after market parts might be cheaper, or have features that the OEM parts lack. I would like to be able to purchase these parts without a 30% markup that goes to the car manufacturer.

As an iPhone user, I'd like to be able to install apps on my iPhone without having to pay the iPhone manufacturer a 30% markup.

I realize that this analogy doesn't directly address the issue of whether Apple has a monopoly on the market of iPhone apps, but it's how I think about it as a consumer.
He very explicitly did so. Have you not read his most popular works?

> The purposeless massacres perpetrated since the June and October events, the tedious offering of sacrifices since February and March, the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.

> Both for the production on a mass scale of this communist consciousness, and ... the alteration of men on a mass scale is, necessary, ... a revolution; this revolution is necessary, therefore, not only because the ruling class cannot be overthrown in any other way, but also because the class overthrowing it can only in a revolution succeed in ridding itself of all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew.
Probably because swapping two digits causes that (times ten moves the digit one place to the left).

For example if you accidentally swapped 210,00 to 120,00: 20x10 + 10 is the correct number, 20 + 10x10 is the swapped one.
thanks! i didn't see that link. but i think the 432 bytes leaves the line numbers out, so it should actually be 448 bytes
>Correct you can't steal the carrier thread from an Object.wait() waiting virtual thread. This is apparently in the pipeline but it is a pretty major limitation.

I mean stealing other virtual threads from the pinned carrier thread (except for the one pinning it) so they can make progress. Normal work-stealing stuff - the queue(thread) is blocked(pinned), so process that task(virtual thread) in a different queue(thread).

It makes sense that a pinned thread remains pinned with the virtual thread that pinned it.

The 256 default carrier thread limit is going to frequently be a problem though, yeah. That's more than enough to cause all this, and it's a pretty crazy default imo.
all the basics i used on processors that slow were surprisingly inefficient, even for an interpreted languages

It’s been pretty fun as a fan of market dynamics to observe the Great Eye of Power catch on with attention and then investment and then securing the Ring for itself.
I really don’t think it’s about side-loading, principles of freedom, the spirit of hacking, etc. HN’s full of indie app developers trying to make money. They know iOS users more often pay for things so it’s their target audience.

I doubt existence of F-Droid is even a drop in the bucket of fee savings for those developers on Android. Otherwise, Google would do something about it to get their cut.
There is a cool sandbox game on steam called “Plasma” that offers a graphical programming environment which includes a basic PID controller. I was really impressed with how easily I was able to make a cube float almost perfectly in 3D space within that game by only using 3 of these controllers (mainly the P and D portions) and some thrusters by monitoring the pitch and roll angles, and how high above the ground the cube was. I was even more impressed when adding some weight to one side of the cube and seeing the system compensate for it automatically.

The process of tuning the gains on the different inputs of the controllers, then seeing how the system responded made me think about how this is a similar yet much simpler process to training ML models.

I’ve always been a bit skeptical of how easily one would be able to make changes to something as complex as a large ML model, but looking at it like tuning a very complex PID controller kind of made it seem less like black magic to me for some reason

>They naturally feel compelled to defend their brand of choice because they actually feel targeted as owner of it, because it feels like their own discernment is targeted indirectly.

True. But regardless if the commenter is right or wrong, anger is not the proper answer. If the commenter is right, you have some thinking to do. If he's not, you shouldn't care.
yeah b2b is pretty much at the wholesale end, where everyone has different accounts with their own pricing negotiated as part of the contract and so on. If you go into an electrical wholesaler for example, you can buy at consumer prices, but the tradies will definitely be getting some kind of negotiated price depending on the scale they're operating at.

From my experience in this space b2c is kind of a subset of b2b where you can treat the c as a single customer (see - users and customers are related but not the same) in the rest of the b2b mess. But totally for the simple case - a retailer who sells a particular kind of thing - the basic solution is pretty trivial. Search is tricky once you start moving from single product category into general catalogue. Then you're going to want things like rules to feed back search results from customer behaviour (one example of a few curly ones). Algolia seems to have solved that kind of problem adequately for now given the assumption of a certain level of quality of data in the licence holder's back end systems and aggregation code. Then there's things like variants (e.g. same product different colour / size) where it's tempting to make a naive implementation that won't scale and will be a maintenance nightmare, or where your data modeling fits the arbitrary case instead ...
Do they care though? As a developer, I either play by the rules and get access to their massive, lucrative market or I just don't. Its not like the investment developers and Dev companies make into their ecosystem can be just moved elsewhere - its all a sunken cost.

How have they leveraged this argument against the idea that the user who purchased the device has some level of right to use the IP on the phone they purchase? Phrase this question another way: if I were to write and sell some application for the iPhone through my personal website, which requires users phones to be jailbroken, would my application and business be in violation of, specifically, US intellectual property law? Assuming I perfectly side-step other more obvious illegalities like trademark law.

Here's another caveat: assume the bundle I distribute is dynamically linked into the underlying operating system, such that I'm definitely distributing nothing except my own code that I wrote. Or, similarly: I ship nothing but my own code, plus a script I wrote the purchaser has to run to statically link the package with iOS libraries present on their Mac.

> How about letting the people who created their wealth decide what's a fair use of it?

Because the whole point is that they are unlikely to have been the person who actually created that wealth, the majority of wealth is inherited or created because they inherited wealth in the first place to be able to create their revenue streams.

If I died and left my heirs $10001 that I had made from my business but I inherited $10000, to be able to set up my business did I actually create any meaningful wealth?

Should I be able to decide what happens on anything more than the $1?

I think that if you look at the content of a comprehensive dictionary between two languages, exact correspondences come up a heck of a lot.

There are a lot of words for concrete things, like the example you gave. But also specific words for abstractions.

I suspect, for instance, that Korean has a word for communism which has that one specific meaning.

I think the article is not so much getting at the unfamiliar plant names or cultural things like names of foods.

But for instance verbs. In English you can take a nap, take a wife, take a stand, take a leak, take someone somewhere, take the money and run, ... In another language, you need different verbs for these. But some of those verbs in that language also have multiple meanings. If we pin down the specific usage frame, like "take a nap", there is a specific translation that fits. This doesn't involve geographic or cultural items; everyone everywhere takes naps.

Verbs are often like this because they involve metaphor a lot.

Nouns also involve metaphor, often when some less common objects are named after common ones. E.g. mouth is a body part. Skirt and sleeve are parts of clothing. A river can have a mouth in English; maybe it would be funny in another language. Technical objects can have skirts (protective guards) or sleeves (sliding casings). Maybe in the foreign language you cannot use those clothing words for those objects without sounding funny.

"We follow through" could work for cumplimos. I suspect that it may be a word that is used often in ads? So in the translation you have to lose exactness and map hackneyed to hackneyed, same sort of thing to the same sort of thing. E.g. "we go the distance" or whatever.
The bar for success is much lower. VCs want a big multiple, so they want you to take risks. If the risks pay off, everyone wins big. But when you're bootstrapping, it can be a 'win' to make a couple hundred grand a year, working part-time. Most people consider that to be a pretty good gig.
> “If you follow a healthy diet, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food.”

This is not completely true.

For those who do heavy physical work, so they can eat a lot, it is indeed easy to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food.

This is no longer true for those with a sedentary lifestyle, who must restrict their daily energy intake to somewhere around 2000 kcal, to avoid gaining weight.

When the energy intake is restricted, the necessary daily intakes of proteins and vitamins are reduced much less than proportionally, so a healthy diet must reduce mainly the carbohydrates and the fats, while still providing the recommended daily intakes of proteins and vitamins and essential fatty acids.

With reduced amounts of food, for some vitamins it remains easy to ensure adequate quantities, but for others the recommended intake can be achieved only when you plan carefully the combinations of food ingredients. Such a complex planning makes difficult to achieve enough variation in what you eat.

Instead of being forced to make complicated plans about how to make combinations of various food ingredients, it is far easier when you eat little to compensate by taking e.g. a capsule of B-complex vitamins from time to time.

This allows freedom in the choice of food, and if you take them seldom enough to not exceed the recommended average intakes, the vitamins will not be harmful even if they do not provide any benefit whenever the food happens to contain enough vitamins.

Moreover, for many vitamins it has become much cheaper to take them as supplements than to buy enough of certain vegetables or fruits that would provide the same amount of vitamins.

For example, eating a raw red bell pepper per day would easily provide an adequate daily intake of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Nevertheless, where I live such a bell pepper is more than ten times more expensive than the same amount of pure powder of ascorbic acid (where the main processing steps are done by bacterial fermentation).

Where I live (in Europe) a bell pepper or any other source with high content of ascorbic acid, like kiwi fruits, would cost about the same as the food ingredients that would provide 75% of the daily protein intake, and for the proteins there are no alternatives.

So for someone who would need to achieve a healthy diet at a minimum cost, taking vitamin supplements can be significantly cheaper.
You need to stop generalizing.

Plenty of large swathes of the U.S. have plastic cards, e-invoiced bills, and yes, even zero-cost non-drivers ID cards which work across state lines, along with several forms of national ID if one chooses. Hardly anyone writes checks or uses physical mail — a common joke is that you have to buy a pack of 50 envelopes to send 1 letter every few years. Widespread cash is a benefit, not a demerit, as it gives one purchasing power even if out in the countryside with zero internet — indeed the physical dollar is so powerful that I can take it nearly anywhere in the Americas and spend it directly, down to the poorest most remote villages.
America has historically been racist. The pax was for the sake of the northern hemisphere.

It was a different time as well. There was one central resource for phone-related things and the spirit of the time was very much a bureaucratic efficient one. The idea was that you could make the society better and more efficient, often top down. In Sweden there was even a standardisation of kitchens made by a government agency. Everything from height of the counters to placement. It wasn't always followed, but it did shape things. This was done at a time when the Swedish population hade a staggering increase in housing standards due mostly to government policy. The houses might not be very highly regarded today (mostly because the areas are considered bad) but they are solidly built and are usually very practical with lots of storage in the right places.

In Sweden we had the "du"-reform where we stopped referring to people either by their title or surname and the plural-you ("ni"). Instead we started using singular you ("du") and first name. This was started at a government agency and spread quickly through society.

There was actually a gender neutral pronoun introduced recently that is getting used more often. In addition to "han" and "hon" (he and she) we now have "hen". Depending on language situation it is actually very handy, and you can actually see it used in large newspapers or semi-official documents.
Some structural similarities can be explained by contact but other similarities are indications of common origin. Indeed both Germanic languages and Slavic languages share a common ancestor: proto-indo-european.

"Present" also shares a similar etymology; from latin: prae (before) + esse (be), with a similar palette of meanings as the Germanic and Slavic forms
I've been reading Indigenous Continent by Pekka Hämäläinen recently, I picked it up now that it is available as a paperback. The history is fascinating and I highly recommend it with the note that I'm ~1/3 of the way through.

Early on in the book he describes the rise of Cahokia and other Mississippian societies in America as tied to the climate in the medieval warm period. And how during the Little Ice age the priestly class could not create good conditions for agriculture, which undermined their power at a time when crops were failing and hunting became a dominant food source.
Interesting how this follows 'full self driving' -> 'person required' pattern.
Seems like we are in violent agreement.
a) Amazon pricing in general isn't competitive. I regularly use geizhals.at, a price comparison website, and Amazon rarely is the cheapest option.

b) I don't know if parent poster was talking about FBA (fulfillment by amazon) sales or not. If they are, then Amazons cut includes shipping and storage costs, which for low value items are often more than the stuff costs itself.
Does anyone have an explanation of this insight? In principle I have all the pre-requisite understanding but I’m struggling to connect it.
How random is the third party? What epistemic frameworks do they find acceptable? (sorry if I am not getting what you are asking).

A theological argument (no matter how good) is unlikely to convince an atheist of anything.

In a perfect world if we agree that bayesian epistemology makes sense and I accept your priors and your model then I should be willing to accept your conclusions. But because of bounded rationality and other factors like https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/03/repost-epistemic-learn... then I might still refuse to do so if your conclusions are ludicrous or repugnant to me :)

That sounds like "cars are just a way to make people come to the car dealership". Technically, this is true, but "just" here is not playing a good role. The whole point of the thing is the cheap bulk goods, so "just" is not really applicable there. You can't remove it without making all the rest utterly pointless.
