You really shouldn’t talk about things you don’t know or didn’t live through.

The government was the one trying to crack down on free speech, banning rap music and other things that gave alternative views. The government was the one that wasn’t allowing gays to marry. The government was the one sending troops to wars that no one cared about. The government was the one who created the Patriot act to strip people of their rights. The government was the one enriching Wall Street, protecting Big Pharma and letting police run around beating Rodney Kings all the time. The government was not to be trusted at all. This was what life was like for liberals in the 80s, 90s and even early 00s.

The idea that the left was supporting government shows you know nothing about how life was like even 20 years ago. Rage Against the Machine famously protested the DNC because both parties suck.

Nowadays if you don’t support the government or believe the CDC or FDA, or if you don’t want to support the proxy war in Ukraine, you’re somehow a MAGA alt right white nationalist. They have really done a number on the entire country.

Yeah, you’re just explaining a textbook confusion of cause and effect: “milk is generally safe, therefore we don’t need these pesky regulations!”

We know what life looks like without these regulations. Answer: Lots of safety problems.

If these people didn’t produce risk of contagious pathogens I’d not really have a problem with their own decisions, but since they do produce that risk, the right way to prove these regulations unnecessary is to conduct scientific experiments and prove the regulations unnecessary. It was real world experience and scientific experiments that got them put in place to begin with.

As someone who's had several of these artist visas in the past... especially when you're a small band with limited budget and need to get several of these - this is going to be cost-prohibitive for a lot of smaller artists.

FWIW, a lot of countries, including Canada / Australia etc allow artists who perform under a normal tourist visa which is essentially easy and free for much of the Western world. It always amazes me that I can perform in Canada by just flying over but I need to spend $1000+, hand in my passport for a week, go for an interview and wait several months just to do one show in the US.

> Combined with the text "Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause."

Another example of Elon's bullshit. Fertility rate isn't determined by how many children men have but by how many children women have.

Sure his 11 children sounds like a lot but if you consider the fertility rates of all the women he's been with the past 20+ years, it's actually lower than 1 per woman. Meaning his existence has contributed to a far lower fertility rate than the average man.

It's like comparing a wealthy emir who has 1 child with each of his 10 concubines in his harem to an average man who has two kids with his one wife. Emir's women have a fertility rate of 1 while the average man's wife has a fertility rate of 2.

Given his wealth, if elon really was a pro-natalist, he'd have dozens or even hundreds of kids.

> You know how irrelevant this article is to most people.

The article is irrelevant because it's just clickbait to generate views and make money. A basic understanding of math by the journalist, elon or the average pro-natalist would show that such movements won't make a dent in the population decline of major countries. They could have 100 children each and it will still be an insignificant drop in the bucket. A change in population trend requires a societal shift where most of the people ( aka non-pro-natalists ) start having more children. Most important of all, it would require society to encourage females to start having children when they are young.

Humans have very different mating rituals as compared to chickens. We have very different social behaviour to cattle. We have barely any instincts at birth, as compared to a fawn. We have planet-spanning societal structures, unlike dogs.

There are many ways in which humans differ from the animals you've listed. Why do you think we are necessarily the same as them in this particular respect? (There's a reason we look at evidence in science, rather than discarding ideas out-of-hand.)

My honest opinion is that the people (30-50% of the population?) voting for authoritarians like Trump, Orban, Bolsonaro, Meloni, Bukele, Ergodan, etc are not at all in Solidarity with what I'll call "the rest of us". From the ones I've spoken to there's legitimately a theme of wanting the chaos that these people bring to the world. Sticking a wrench in society for fun and profit.

And what I'm talking about isn't everyone having a single set of beliefs, that would be absurd. It's bad actors spreading what they know to be misinformation, and people falling hook line and sinker for the false rhetoric because it's repeated so often. People like Tucker Carlson who privately says Trump is a massive evil, publicly praises him. Or Russian troll farms that just constantly post the most controversial takes on social media until they become normalized.

I won't pronounce myself on raw milk, we used to buy our milk raw and pasteurize it ourselves (the cream was a bonus), but Amish aren't the healthiest people you'll ever met. Maybe the healthiest group of Americans, on average (i mean, 4% obesity rate is low), but Japanese living on islands are far more healthy. In fact, i think generally, people living on small, rich islands are healthier, with good iodine level (which is an issue with the Amish), good vitamin D levels, good diet.
The common theme in normal weight individuals is their comparative lack of food drive, not an outsized capacity for willpower.

When you talk to "skinny" people you'll hear things like they just forgot to eat or I just had a couple bites of cake then felt full/had enough.

Alternatively when you speak with heavier people you'll realize that they're white knuckling their entire lives (because calories are so abundant). On average they're actually exerting more willpower around food than skinnier people.

Not everyone of course, there are folks in either camp, but at population scale lack of food drive is what keeps people skinny in a calorie rich, low activity environment.
Here's a topical anecdote. There's a dairy farm in Texas which had free-roaming farm cats, around 24 of them, who were given raw milk to lap by the workers. H5N1 killed 50% of them in days.

- "The cats were found dead with no apparent signs of injury and were from a resident population of ≈24 domestic cats that had been fed milk from sick cows. Clinical disease in cows on that farm was first noted on March 16; the cats became sick on March 17, and several cats died in a cluster during March 19–20. In total, >50% of the cats at that dairy became ill and died."

To be clear, I would much rather have socialized healthcare, but just to rebut your point a bit here.

> Its weird that america cares about this so much when healthcare is primarily private so the externalities of this choice can be priced via insurance premiums. Makes more sense to me for places eith primarily socialized medicine to care more and yet they have this largely legal and largely don't have problems as well.

Medical insurance is more or a less a collectivist thing, even in the US, and most people aren't directly buying their own insurance, they get a flat rate from their employer. If there is a considerable increase of diseases and hospitalization, insurance companies will end up raising their rates for everyone, including those who didn't do the stuff that increased the hospitalizations.

Also, if there's a risk of the person drinking raw milk incubating a disease that can eventually spread to other humans, then it's absurd to pretend that it doesn't affect us. If you catch tuberculosis from raw milk, and then spread that to someone else, that's obviously bad for literally every other human on earth, or at least every other human who is susceptible to TB.
> The "ones you meet" are the ones who didn't die

Can you link to any instances of an outbreak of disease from unpasturized milk among the Amish people? Or even among the general population? All I know about is one time over 150 years ago the milk got spoiled on a train in Chicago. Which is why we have pasturization.

I found this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6140832/, which seems to indicate that raw milk consumption has benefits.

Show HN: Uiino – Designing User Flows in Plain Text
hi, i'm sanju, the creator of uiino.com. been there, done that with sticky notes for user stories. fun for brainstorming, but a nightmare to manage. i had to constantly move them around, keep track of changes, and explain my messy notes - it was frustrating!

that's why i created uiino. it makes it easy to create user flows with just plain text, anywhere you can type. if you get stuck, our ai can even help you build a story map from your app idea.

uiino keeps things clear and simple. we use tags to make it easy for everyone to understand. need feedback? you can add comments directly to the map. and if you need to move things around, it's super easy!

we use uiino ourselves to build better products. to try ditching the sticky notes and see how clear user stories can help.

uiino is free to use forever, but we're just getting started. we're working on integrations with figma to sync your app design flows, copywriting, translation, and collaborations. we're also working on more cool features.

if you have feedback to make it even better, i'm all ears!

Build a startup and launch it to customers as a non-technical founder
Like another commenter here, I've been full stack since my first working day, and to this day, 1.5 decades in the industry. I've always touched on infrastructure, on the database, on the server side and on the client side. Vertical implementations of features.

I can't begin to imagine life as just a ... database guy, or a backend guy or just a frontend guy. Perhaps it needs to be aligned in everyone's eyes that we cannot be as good at databases as one that spends most of his time doing databases. But there are pros and cons to our kind of knowledge.

I can argue pro and con SQL vs. NOSQL, to the limits of my ability, or argue for this frontend framework or that, or consider various languages or architectures for the backend, or discuss about how we'll deploy the production version of whatever it is that we're building, or how we'll do development side CI/CD and so on and so forth. What am I? I'm open to the idea that I'm a fraud, but I like to consider myself a full stack.

Maybe people would find it less onerous to require testing. Technology for that stuff has advanced a lot since raw milk was originally banned on epidemiological grounds.
I hope the reason nobody has responded to this yet is that they're giving this wonderful article the attention it deserves. I have a lot of thoughts about it, and this is one of the cases where I wish comment sections here weren't so ephemeral and stayed up long enough to be worth spending more time on it.

All of us are facing a personal apocalypse. We all build an entire universe in our minds based on what our senses take in and that world is going to evaporate when you die, and the rest of the world will continue on just fine without us. For a lot of people, it feels better, for some reason, to think that we are so important that the rest of the universe will also cease to exist when we die.

Aside from dreams of the world ending, another way to sort of assuage that dread that we all carry around with the knowledge of our own mortality is to lean into the intuitive belief that we are somehow non-physical entities that are merely contained in these physical bodies temporarily, and that some day we'll be released and go back into our true form. These two ideas often go together, but don't always. The neo-platonists, for example, believed in eternal non-physical bodies ascending to some kind of divinity after death, but didn't really have an 'end-of-the-world' prophecy.

A lot of people reading an essay about this will think about this as an object lesson in gullibility and people failing to use reason, but there are a lot of so-called "rationalists" on this very website who themselves believe in a version of this -- that the world is soon going to face a technological apocalypse of some kind -- maybe it's a super-powerful AI escaping, or climate doom, or nuclear war, or whatever, and at the same time believing that they themselves will find a way to escape death, from mind-uploading, or life extension or something similar. Transumanism, extropianism, "effective altruism", a lot of those modern techno-utopian philosophies are just millenarian doomsday cults with a "scientific" technological gloss.

I don't think there's anything especially "wrong" about the religion this essay is about. It's no crazier than Christianity was, which was also a religion built around a prophet whose apocalypse didn't arrive and who died unexpectedly. They had to build an (at times beautiful, at times ridiculous) tower of philosophical abstractions to retroactively make any of it make sense to them.

On a completely unrelated tangent: If you read https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/ the subreddit for die hard Gamestop "investors", there's a lot of similarity between the way they talk about the "mother of all short squeezes" and the way the doomsday cults talk about the end of the world. There's a religious fervor to it that's sort of based around the idea that the modern economy is a house of cards and will completely collapse because of people shorting a retail video game store.
Dryer… exhaust? A what now?
A common theme is that tools for thinking allow you to restimulate your brain with its own output. Essentially creating a full outer loop from your sensory inputs to your motor outputs.

I'm speculating now: There are probably smaller loops within the brain that allow you to ruminate on a topic to think through it, but those loops don't give you access to as many neurons or have the same fidelity between iterations. The alternative to this sort of self-stimulating recursion, is that everything we reason about can be done in one pass from sensor to motor, which I find unlikely.

The idea of applying multiple passes of the same networks using memory to hand off between iterations also explains why memory and other aspects of intelligence are correlated in humans, when they needn't be. A machine has FLOPS independent of it's memory capacity for example.
