Just read the paper. In the 2149 participants, detection in fasting plasma was associated with a hazard ratio of 1.57

It was also shown to enhance clotting at the levels detected in fasting plasma (in 10 people) which provides a potential mechanism to explain the effects observed in the larger group.

As for how legit it is... The number of people is significant. My only complaint is they didn't measure xylitol directly, rather they tested for polyol or something.

Agree strongly. Another good example is industrial seed oils: canola/rapeseed oil, and even things thar sound innocuous like sunflower seed oil. Avoid, avoid, stick to olive oil which has been field tested for millenia.

Citation that a "significant fraction" of those who immigrated were facing certain death?

Also, implicit in your post seems to be an assertion that the moral responsibility for their deaths would fall on us rather than the people causing the deadly circumstances in their home countries, and that we are thus we are obligated to help in this specific way. There are a lot of problems with this argument.

It can be worse, as you are losing rental income, which can have larger impacts on your budget and life.

I have family in California that had to deal with squatters on a rental property. It cost them ~400k, which included their kids college funds and retirement.

Costs were 3 years of lost rent while they paid the mortgage 250k damages done by the squatters, plus legal fees.

My thought is that one didn't simply travel alone on horseback, but with a group and baggage, and I wouldn't expect servants to be mounted. The animals help with the baggage. You also would want a group since there are highwaymen and freebooters on the road.

> There's clearly a gap between imaginary noble okupas addressing housing crisis via occupation of unused bank property and reality of weed smoking anarchists and their collaborating deoccupying mafia harassing mostly not-so-rich middle class, who can't afford the security measures the rich can.

Both of those groups serve the purpose of forcing the real estate owners to actually use their real estate instead of letting them rot to benefit from value appreciation like in the US - one of the main reasons of the housing crisis in the US.

So yes, they actually do serve a robin-hood purpose.
My dad was just talking to me about his experiences going to school and college in the 70s and, while he learned to use FORTRAN on a time-shared mainframe, programming or computer science as a career path wasn't advertised to him as a possible career path. Most administrators and guidance counselors at the time probably didn't understand those fields yet. Might have been different if my dad went to Berkeley, but it would not surprise me if most of the education didn't see programming as "real" yet.

Heck, the web was almost brand new when I was in elementary school, and there was only one teacher who decided to take the initiative and teach kids HTML. He wasn't even my normal teacher, and I think I kind of just got pulled into it for some reason. In any case, I carried those skills he taught me all the way into adulthood, and I'm a web developer today! If he didn't host that class, I might not have ever bothered learning about Web technology. Otherwise, it wasn't like computer skills were part of the curriculum beyond learning to type.
You could get them individually packed, but I believe that shelf-life would likely be affected significantly. Meaning that food waste would also go up. Packing anything with nitrogen or like is really hard without plastics. Same goes for vacuum.

So end result would be more traveling and emissions to go to stores more regularly and lot more wasted food. Again significantly increasing emissions.
Some variation of that in nearly every "Western" country. East Asian countries have similiar challenges with low birth rates, but aren't targeted for demographic replacement for totally mysterious reasons
Xylitol in nasal spray helps pull liquid into the nasal passages which helps if you have dry nasal passages and reduces your risk of contracting airborne infections. The amount of Xylitol is also tiny compared to what you get from even natural sources (which, granted, is different than inhaling it).
I am using a keyboardio model 100 with the default layout.

I have had it since it came out (I think that has been about 2 years now). It has had the best ergo layout I have tried for programming. I think a big part of it is the palm (fn) button is so nice for getting to alternate characters without feeling like I have to strain for a modifier key.

We will eventually offer it as a service.

About the license. Indeed, it is BSL with an additional grant that lifts all restrictions on its users (may run it wherever they like, may even modify and run that version), but it restricts being provided as a service. We believe this strikes a good balance between user freedom and monetization strategy. I would be curious to learn your thoughts.
You can find examples for everything, the question is whether the incidence among politicians is close to the average elderly population (as implied in the original comment).
> and I think we agree that if the goal of everybody in a society is to live a quiet life, there will be no progress

That's actually where it gets really interesting though. Progress isn't absolute, it's relational and requires first defining the goal. If one's goal is to live a quiet life where they minimize their dependence on others, living in a cabin in the woods and finding their solution for food and water is progress. That obviously doesn't fit for a larger society where the goal is generally increasing dependence and trust on the larger society, but neither is right or wrong.

The vast majority of Canadian immigrants come from India, China, and the Philippines, none of which I'd consider countries too dangerous to live in.
Since you asked for someone to steelman, I’ll chime in to say this graph looks great to me.

As Canada has grown rich, our fertility rate has gone down. I have no moral problem with that, but it does cause a problem: as the population ages, the ratio of workers (who pay tax) to retired people (who carry a tax burden) shrinks. The options are increasing the taxes on workers, cutting the benefits to the retired, or increasing the working age population via immigration.

As to grocery stores, housing prices, etc. I think these problems are more related to a lack of competition. A free market can handle an influx of consumers.
I was wondering why there seem to be so few libraries that enhance html tables.

I still use the ancient datatables from jquery. I have found some few alternatives, but they often were worse.

Not sure how you can look for them or what you would call such components. HTML table decorators? As for the design, I never do anything fancy for tables. Maximal readability and no fluff, probably alternating colors for rows if you indeed have many columns. Other than that...
Everyone said it cracked, but it didn't look like cracking to me. It looked like carbon vapor deposition/metal vapor deposition.

Yeah, but it's in your text/comment. The logical thing is that it makes 0 sense. Columbus to not take the real circumference makes 0 sense. Let's go to Mars, start a civilization there. It'll be a lot of change for us humans. And only if you live somewhere you can really solve problems. Maybe it's a good plan against a nuclear war, whatever.
I also wondered about the strategy of joining the first and last church. The authors switched to a regression for their last test, but only on the Mercator projection.

(I actually remember in 7th grade that our math teacher had to repeat time and again that a line of best fit does not necessarily need to join the first and last dot. For some reason it's a very instinctual thing to do.)

I know it's completely illusory considering the vastly different fatality rate, but as a pedestrian I often feel more at risk dodging cyclists, who completely disregard traffic signals, ride on sidewalks, and make frequently unpredictable movements, than cars, which follow traffic signals 95% of the time, don't generally operate on sidewalks, and tend to be more predictable, although the results can be catastrophically worse when they are negligently operated.

The number of fatalities caused by cyclists is very small, but still non-zero. Here's some stats for New York City:

> In 2022 (the last full year for which there is data), three pedestrians were killed by cyclists, while 131 pedestrians and cyclists were killed by car and truck drivers. In that same year, 313 pedestrians were injured by cyclists, while 13,190 cyclists and pedestrians were injured by car and truck drivers.[0]

I've also seen numbers that there are about 600K cycling "trips" taken each day in NYC[1], versus 4 million cars per day driving in or through the city[2].

While those stats aren't measuring exactly the same thing, it appears that there's basically a 10x order of magnitude difference between the two forms of transportation. With that in mind, looking at the previous fatality numbers, bikes are still admittedly 4-5x safer than cars given equal use.

Even so, if we managed to get rid of 80-90% of motor vehicles, we would reach a point where in raw numbers people would be more likely to be injured or killed by bicycles than cars. At that point, I wonder if insurance would be required?

What is the difference in user experience between this and Yabai? I don’t think the SIP issues for Yabai is a big one, no one I know who uses Yabai disables SIP, and they seem to enjoy it.

Personally I use a utility that allows resizing and moving windows with the mouse from anywhere on the window when holding a modifier combination, like Fluxbox.

The farm and farm-adjacent population make up such a small segment of the population these days, even in farming areas, that nobody has to appeal to them. However, the government is legally obligated to buy back the quota, which would be a devastating cost. Ain't no politician (outside of those going to crazy town, like Bernier) would ever touch that even with a ten foot pole.

It was done for tobacco in 2009, but the tobacco industry in Canada was already essentially nothing. The cost to get out was still massive, but only a tiny, tiny fraction of what it would cost to get out of dairy, poultry, and eggs.

Scary, despite being totally arbitrary, having an inflation target helps stabilize prices.
If you wait to cut until you're at the target, you're already behind the curve and could cause unnecessary economic system damage. Similar to piloting a supertanker; you have to account for direction and momentum. In this case, it is time to add power.
This won't save time for people if you think about it.

What it does mean is that you defer the meeting results to a time that they can be read, instead of deferring the work you would have done attending the meeting. So there's no less work there...

Then the realisation hits that the LLM made a wrong choice, for example you realise others in a meeting had a better idea but your LLM misrepresented yours.

Then you have to arrange another meeting to fix the result of the last meeting, but have to do it in person, not only that but you have to do it urgently to stop others proceeding with the original outcome...

So the time you possibly save from good AI meetings is quite likely to be supplanted by the bad meeting outcomes' time loss.
Mental models to add to your thinking toolbox
Its not Spain's problem. Its the real estate sector's problem. Both the legitimate okupas and illegitimate 'professional' okupas do serve the purpose of forcing the real estate owners to actually USE their real estate instead of being able to let them sit empty. They either live in them, sell them or rent them - which helps to address the housing demand.

Compare this to the US where such a phenomenon does not exist:

> What typically happens is that they are just bought up by one of the big 3.

Perhaps, but as they are owned by the customer (or government in a few cases), that would ultimately be on the customer to decide. If future service, price, or quality was of concern, they could easily reject the deal.
We'll soon need reinforced, precision machined, well oiled cubes for robot tournaments ^^;
If handiwork and producing or finding your own food is what makes you happy, then why does it matter whether you are outsourcing to society?

The second sounds like a separate goal unto itself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that goal, or with having multiple goals, but if you start by saying doing X makes you happy then it doesn't really make sense to say doing X won't actually make you happy because you aren't doing Y.
Tesla and Twitter come to mind.

How much risk? How much Xylitol? Disappointed those numbers aren't mentioned in the results section. Without seeing more, leaving that out leads me to suspect that the risk is low and the level of Xylitol is quite high. The links to get access to the article weren't working for me. Anyone have another link?
Fully agree with this.

Used Yabai at first last time I was forced to use a Mac. Hated it with a passion. It was "close", but not close enough, and so I felt I was fighting it all the time.

Ended up running most applications full-screen instead, and relying on tiling in iTerm2 or the applications most of the time instead. It helped that I was connected to a second monitor most of the time.
That is wrong per the article.

The article says organic and conventional are essentially the same with mycotoxins except one toxin where conventional is worse.

'Danny Rice helped build one of the largest natural-gas producers in the U.S. and became a billionaire. In his newest venture, he is still betting on natural gas—but this time as part of an unusual process that aims to clean up gas-fired power generation.

Traditional gas power plants spit CO2 out of exhaust stacks, contributing to global warming. NET Power, a company that Rice took public in 2023 in a $1.5 billion SPAC deal, has developed a gas plant with a different process, using the carbon dioxide it produces to spin a turbine and create electricity—a technology it says will eliminate almost all CO2 emissions.

A move toward renewable power sources reinforces the need for natural gas, Rice argues, as wind and solar can’t crank out energy around the clock. NET Power, he says, aims to offer utility companies an affordable way to make the grid carbon-free.'

...

'NET Power’s patented process consists of burning natural gas along with oxygen to create heat and a mixture of pure CO2 and water that spins a turbine and creates power. Some of the CO2 is reused in the system and the rest is sequestered underground—which means that a plant using the technology will emit virtually no CO2, according to the company.

A traditional gas power plant burns air, mostly made of nitrogen and oxygen, along with natural gas—which is mainly methane—creating a concoction that CO2 can’t easily be scrubbed from.'

> Do you thing religious followers, such as Matthew, see god/heaven/etc as being merely a metaphor?

No, I'm not suggesting that. The alternatives to just reporting facts are more than "merely a metaphor".

> works of fiction doesn't purport to either. They might have morals, or subtexts

Disagree - I think they distill patterns from the factual and present them in the form of stories, encoded in the structure of the story. If you're a materialist you might say that the story is less true than the factual manifestations of the patterns, I'd say it's more true; and that it's telling something about the world.

While I have not cycled in Amsterdam, as a Parisian cyclist I can confirm. Paris is currently overwhelmingly better than what's in most other big cities, but still far away from being as good as the Netherlands infrastructures.

There are still a lot of oddities, insufficient infrastructure, and cycling no-man's land.

But yes, it has overall made things better for everyone, even for the remaining motorists: as reduced demand have kicked in, the remaining motorists (as far as my observations go) experience less traffic. Of course, there is a LOT less cars now.

Though now, bicycle lane jams are actually happening ... Which is a good problem to have I guess.

There was nothing noble about it. The squatters stole someone’s house and prevented them from occupying it. This wasn’t noble squatters versus evil landlords leaving houses empty. My friend literally bought a house for his family and someone squatted in it before he could move in.

Amazing that such a comment would come along and prove the point I was making: Some people can look an obvious injustice dead on, ignore the details, inject their own imagined narrative with victim and perpetrator reversed, and claim moral superiority for the perpetrator.
Right, that's the biggest thing. If medieval builders were deliberately placing these in a line, there would be documentation and discussion about it.
