They also didn't eat a lot of fries, sugared beverages, ultra-processed food, etc... which is easily available nowadays and likely to be consumed when one doesn't feel satiated (e.g. due to meat consumption).

That's not to say that there aren't alternatives to meat that also satiate and are nutritious, but most people don't consider them to be equally delicious and therefore they are not as likely to be consumed if meat isn't available.

Well that’s the crux, isn’t it.

If TikTok is just a business, like ByteDance insists, any business would rather get something than nothing. So ByteDance would sell.

If TikTok isn’t merely a business but rather an organ of soft power, and China blocks a sale, then the suspicions of the U.S. intelligence community are confirmed.

Using well-designed APIs is great, and seeing people putting a lot of thought on it, with the intent of improving dev experience, is very refreshing.

It seems you are mixing two things: inner string representation and read/write encoding. Java has never used UTF-16 as default for the second.
People shouldn't have their data sold without consent to any third party. In fact, they shouldn't have their data collected by any party involved without consent. If the insurance companies want to offer those tracking devices that change your rates up and down - that's fair game, otherwise they should shove off.
General rule, when someone brings up that fact that some regulation makes things harder for "poor folks" it is almost never about poor people, but just figleafs for arguing against regulations.

In reality it is the poor who are most affected by climate change, diseases, lack of food safety... If the people really cared about poor folks they would be arguing for more regulations, higher taxes, against credit card programs and lots of other things which effectively end up transferring wealth from the poor to the rich.

I've experienced many of these things on a regular basis, on my work supplied MB Pro (M1 and Intel)

* multiscreen: I use my macbook, a widescreen, and a 24" in portrait mode. Window management /sucks/ on mac. It either doesn't remember where apps go (even just between sleep), it loses track of them, and the fact that you can just partly drag a window onto a separate screen can cause it to "vanish" until you finally figure out it's that tiny edge

* full screen - you fullscreen one app, and macos decides that the other two monitors should go black. eh, no?

* MST. Please. For fcks sake.

Plugging in two distinct monitors at the same time made my Intel macs (plural) freak out. Screen 1 would activate, screen two, one would go off, two would blink, etc.

* I don't want the dock to move all around. So I disabled that. But then, the menubar is also stuck on just the main screen.... WHY!?

* non-existant window-management. Rectangle solves a lot, but really?

I've got more gripes with this thing... probably mostly to do because I want to use accessories which aren't blessed by Apple. Like my Poly Voyager 2 headset. Every time I switch that thing on or off, apple music starts up. Why? Because Apple. Nowhere to switch that off, so I'm using the NoTunez app to immediately kill Apple Music again if it starts.

The constant mixed use of home-end-pageup-pagedown (most apps it acts properly - you know, like every other os handles it, and some apple specific apps suddenly end is "end of document" instead of the end of the line.

The list goes on. I guess if you're deeply embedded in the apple ecosystem with their gear, it works, but once you go outside of that, it's .. shite.
Doesn't that mean a different thing in the UK?

UK: "The line was too long so they pissed off to the pub"

I think you missed the point - this is what they mean by "defined so loosely as to be uninformative." By saying "in some sense" you are allowing arbitrarily abstract definitions of the term "computer" thereby making the term itself no longer useful.
They use a context picture to help with the removing of the reflections. It's the first time I see something like that.

"Pissed off" is a pretty common phrase in US English to mean being angry. We tend to not use the other varieties of "pissed" that British and other English speakers would use though. Some examples would be "being pissed" (being drunk) or "taking the piss" (mocking someone).
> I disagree that Philosophy should be some sort of objective tool to determine facts

In order to rely on words like “objective” and “facts”, you need the philosophical underpinnings that explore the assumptions, meanings, and implications of those words and what they refer to.

Philosophy isn’t a method for directly determining facts, but trying to determine what is factual is intrinsically linked to a philosophical foundation of ideas.
> it IS fair for reckless drivers to pay more

It totally is. The problem is that what constitutes reckless driving is a black box established and controlled by the very same entity that charges you for that.

I read a comment on HN some time ago about using sudden deceleration to identify reckless driving, and how that mistakenly flagged drivers for avoiding other people's reckless behavior.
There’s no such thing as single community of hackers with some ethos. Exactly because “identitarianism” isn’t their thing. The hats are of different colors.

I have to say, I actually loved this article. Especially “Understanding doesn’t build fluency; instead, fluency builds understanding.”

I love math and majored in it in college. The rest of my family is all scientifically inclined, but I think found/find math itself opaque and somewhat intimidating. I remember my brother asking me at one point how one would ever find, for example, the Pythagorean theorem intuitive. The author’s quote is the response I wish I had. The Pythagorean theorem becomes intuitively true not when you have some deep insight about Euclidean space, but when, on seeing a right triangle, three proofs of it spring instantly to mind. Which happens after a lot of practice.

FWIW I think it’s appropriate that the author talks about herself a lot. She’s trying to explain the subjective, cognitive experience of going from math-phobia to math mastery over her career. She can’t explain that without talking about her background and her perception of the process from inside her head.
I think they mean that the Windows operating system should default to UTF-8.
You missed the end of the sentence, and the following sentence: your quote misrepresents what the author was saying.

> GM (and some apologists) will of course proclaim that this is only fair that reckless drivers pay more, but that’s generally not how it works. Pressured for unlimited quarterly returns, insurance companies will use absolutely anything they find in the data to justify rising rates.
I currently use the 1Password passkeys, and when they work, it's pretty good. I get all the fun of showing up on a website, and with three clicks, I'm in. But I've used them on just a few websites (email and GitHub), and they work correctly maybe 10% of the time.

First, I had to figure out how to get the website to request the passkey. Then I had to figure out that I didn't want to use the browser's passkey but 1Password's, which is different on different browsers and platforms. And good luck if I'm on mobile, I don't think it's ever worked.

At this point I'm taking a break from signing up new passkeys. I'll stick to UN+PW+(TOTP|Yubikeys).

PS: Why is it that no financial institution lets you use anything more than a SMS U2F?
It's only fair if you pay less if not a reckless driver. If insurance companies pocket that money and continue to charge you more then it's a grift.

However, the spying on you part is problematic. You can be flagged as reckless driver (even if you're not) with no recourse or knowledge as of why, it's an algo so go figure. And when insurance companies need more revenue they'll tweak the algo even more.

With Java, the default encoding when converting bytes to strings was originally platform independent, but now it's UTF-8. UTF-16 and latin-1 encodings are (still*) used internally by the String class, and the JVM uses a modified UTF-8 encoding like it always has.

* The String class originally only used UTF-16 encoding, but since Java 9 it also uses a single-byte-per-character latin-1 encoding when possible.

If the industry have their way, it will soon become illegal to drive without connected telemetry continuously reporting back.

And yes, there are such great, positive uses for this type of technology. We could use the logged data to create individual drivers' profiles, and with this, curate personalized guides and training to help them become better drivers. Gamify the experience to give positive feedback and hand out useless awards of Best Driver In Mocktown or whatever.

At the risk of engaging in what I'm sure will be a very even-headed and reasonable dialogue, I can think of a handful of things that the moderate American left would do / agree on that the more extreme elements would not. And just because you have to bend over backwards to avoid getting shadowbanned or flagged for even mentioning any of these, I'm not telling anyone where I stand on any of these things. Some I agree with, some I don't. It doesn't matter.

1. Israel has a right to exist and should not just pack up and leave Gaza.
2. Children who are not old enough to get a loan are also not old enough to consent to surgery or hormone blockers.
3. If you transition from male to female you should not be allowed to participate in women's sports.
4. Women's pro athletes getting paid a fraction of what male pro athletes do is a function of supply and demand and is not inherently sexist.
5. There are root causes to the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans that do not boil down to "the system is racist."
6. Taxes should be used to raise revenue in order to provide social and other government services, not as punishment.

None of those positions are inherently conservative and all of them could be held by a popular mainstream Democratic member of Congress or Presidential candidate. All of them (or any of them if voiced loudly enough) would get you ostracized from leftist group.

(My guess is that it could be a link that opens a web page that deceive the person into canceling the membership, but it is not what is described here)
Well, there is the part about the selection pool, but there is also how a normal distribution behaves far out on the tail.

Most Nobel Laureates in the sciences are highly intelligent, so they exist on that tail.

Basically, if you sample from the top 13% from a normal distribution with (mean, std)=(100,15) you get fewer with 140+ than if you sample from one with (mean, std)=(115,15), and the higher the intelligence, the bigger the difference will be.

This follows from the squaring of the exponential term in the standard distribution.

While it's possible that the shape or standard deviations for various population doesn't match my assumptions, but if they do, the observed number of Nobel prizes given to Jews is very close to what one would expect.
No. I'm suggesting that a modernized justice system is a likely frontier.
