I was not taking about specifically Tai Chi. But I remember from public health classes in medschool that it is known for increasing flexibility and mobility, as well as improving balance and reducing falls in elderly. I also remember something about backwards walking/sageru exercises in Japan, but it is difficult for me to find much online about it.

I was talking about the broader culture that values Tai Chi. Tai Chi is one of “morning exercises” in China. Others include just walking. But my point was about a culture that incorporates morning exercises as a norm. Japan has “radio taiso”, which is a similar phenomenon. I think the West had a similar culture in the 80s and 90s. I was actually growing up in the Central Europe then, and it was normal in elementary and middle school to start the day with a 30-minute exercise lead by school staff.

I don’t know how to label this culture but “culture where it is the norm to exercise daily”.

Yes, as you say, obesity also has many, many other causes. And many other cures. It’s definitely not so one-dimensional. But exercise is very effective, and a culture that promotes exercise daily for everyone, at all paces, would benefit us a lot in the West.

I think people tremendously underestimate what 30 minutes of daily body weight exercises like push-ups, squats, and sit-ups, plus a little bit of walking can do for the said weight. There are many, many technology workers that now just work from home and barely walk at all. Not the majority, but many. There are many more office workers that just commute to work with their cars and never walk more than that demands. In that context, 30 minutes of morning exercise is quite a lot.
I'd say that "centralized" action should first and foremost counter the "centralized systems" that cause this. food lobby, medicine lobby, car manufacturers. All their marketing, sales and "information supply".
One can argue that e.g. Coca Cola or Mac Donalds are mere players in a vast decentralised market, but everyone knows they are at best oligopolies and at worst centralized monopolies with a clear financial incentive to sell their inherently unhealthy products. Your local farmer, selling stuff for home cooked meals isn't anything close to a true competitor to these multinationals.
They had a neurotypical control group, their effect size is massive, and clearly separates the autistic group from the control group. They reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the groups, and argue from literature for an alternative hypothesis. What's the problem?

It's ironic: in the US you have the freedom to kill, but not the freedom to be saved in a hospital. Just the opposite of Spain.
I didn't read it as an endorsement of theft, but defining theft as malum prohibitum, contingent on a time, place and legal system, is a flawed argument. Laws can be wrong. But the fact that a bad law or an unjust system bans theft does not make theft ok. Lots of bad laws enable theft (e.g. those enacted as post-justification for land theft), which also doesn't make it ok. No bad law can sanctify what is morally and universally wrong, and no rebellion against a bad law can sanctify it either. When we say a law is bad we mean: There is a larger moral framework in which it is unjust. Therefore the same is true in resisting bad laws: Resistance can't justify morally repugnant behavior. That was the point I was trying to make.

I didn't pick indigenous land theft to score points, but only because it's the most obvious example of some type of unregulated theft still being universally recognizable as wrong - and it's frequently brought up by many of the same people who make the case that other types of theft are in the service of justice.

Tell HN: Google has started injecting sponsored listings into emails randomly
So, today I logged in and saw that my email inbox is full of alternating mails with "Sponsored" labels. Maybe I am part of some cohort, but it shows normally only in sponsored tab, but now it seems like it is spilling across other tabs as well. WTF Google? That's the last straw.

I am not some free user yapping about it, I am actually a paying customer of their Workspace product for a bunch of users and last I checked it includes Gmail too. Is there a way to turn it off or should I simply migrate to another service provider? What are some better privacy-aware alternatives that will make my transition worry free? It actually made me realise how much reliant I am on Google. All I need is a decent email provider and some storage solution so I can get rid of Google.

Thanks in advance.

I understand what you're saying, although my experience with Windows was the opposite.

I would have had much less motivation to switch from Windows to Linux all those years ago if I could rely on Windows to just work. Except for some brief optimism surrounding Windows 7, nothing I've heard in the intervening 15 years makes me think that Windows is more stable than it used to be.

I'm not sure what Linux you tried before, but your mention of requiring an updated and stable environment without much work makes me suspect that you never tried a rolling-release distro. Or maybe you did, but didn't update often enough? I've tried a few different rolling release distros, and invariably find that they remain both stable and bleeding-edge so long as you remember to regularly give them a quick update. That way, if there is something wrong with one package, it's easy to identify what changed and roll it back for a bit, and it won't affect everything else in a systemic way.

Linux is a massive foot-gun in the hands of someone random, it is built with certain assumptions in mind that don't bode well with how companies want to ship you stuff, and how they envision to "keep you safe".

Of course if a company wants to ship you something linux-based is going to be brutally adultetred, or otherwise you might even be able to really own the thing and do whatever you want with it, which is very much the opposite companies want when they sell you something.

I agree with his description of the Arch forums, I've been using them for years as a source of info for solving problems along those provided by Gentoo, and never felt in the mood to write anything there because the community seems pretty hostile towards any kind of ignorance while asking for help or even worst, in the very strongly enforced forum rules. Pity because Arch is really a great distro and provides a solid base for other distros as well. Maybe is not always like that but... Arch forums feel to me like highly elitist and unwelcoming with newcomers. Not even bugzilla.kernel.org feels like that.

Desktop operating systems take vast resource to be consistently behaved and presented.

And the strength of Linux is that it is the inverse of consistent…… it’s a bunch of stuff that works well together.

Function over form.

I’d never use a Google desktop os but I might use steam. Steam seems like the most likely desktop os contender, and they have the designers and the developers and the money to make it consistent. The problem is there’s no reason why they’d make a desktop Linux.

Survey 100 working class Americans and ask if they think another working class American should receive a ticket for driving 65 in a 55 on an Interstate.

I’d be shocked if even 5% of them wanted that outcome.

50 in a 25? Sure. 100 in a 55? Sure. But I doubt they want perfect enforcement, which is the topic being discussed here.

It seems like someone at apple thought that having mdfind always return 0 even if I didn't find anything was a good idea.
But that's exactly the point of SPAs - they load once and run locally even when changing "pages", syncing just data. It's just like a normal desktop app embedded in the browser page.
If they expose the PWA manifest they can also be installed so that they won't require the internet even for the initial load.

The old school MPAs were the ones that required the network for every single interaction.

Antena3, lol! This is one of most sensationalist TV channel in spain.

The media always look for this situations and portray they because are shocking.

This is not okupation, and has nothing to do with the movement.

This laws primary are there to protect families and people who rent.

I know at least 15 okupas, who lived +4 on bank unused, and still unused, properties. This okupas helped to not saturate the market. They all worked in touristic areas where housing is scarce, and this makes hiring people very difficult because workers doesn't have a place to live and rent is crazy high.

> Most European countries have them and they are as uncontroversial as passports.

> Countries without national ID cards are not especially more privacy minded

Two interesting things here: They are uncontroversial because people are so used to them and, yes, the UK is much more privacy minded than, e.g., France in that regards.

In France everyone is used to carry their ID card with them (ID cards include the person's address and finger print is taken when ID card is used to anyone older than 13). Police have the right to ask for proof of ID without cause, and failure give them the right to detain the person until ID can be assertained (which means being driven to the police station). The history od ID cards in France is indeed one of state surveillance and control, and, tellingly ID cards became mandatory under the Vichy government in 1940 and although they have no longer been so in law since 1955, they de facto still are in daily life.

In the UK people are free to go about their lives with no ID and the police have no right to stop and ask someone to identify themselves (or any other questions) without cause. There is a big resistance against creating ID cards.

I read other comments that in the UK driving licences are de facto ID cards but I think this misses the point above. Of course they are situations in daily life when one needs to prove their ID (banks, etc). But the point is protection against the state/authorities and against being forced to identify yourself for no imperative reason.

Not really a big deal IMO, MacOS has loads of great software available to improve workflow. BetterSnapTool, BetterTouchTool, MOS, Dropzone, Slidepad, Raycast, TotalFinder (visor feature), iTerm2 (dropdown shell) etc.

BetterSnapTool is probably what you are looking for - for normal monitors the keyboard shortcuts for window management (modifier + arrows) are great, and for giant monitors the custom snap zones are great. My favourite feature is the ability to move/resize windows by holding down ctrl/shift while hovering over them.

These kinds of things are a big reason I stick with Mac, great ergonomics and automation.

Seems a better situation than the alternatives? You need a defensive mindset with Windows with their behaviours over the last 5 years

I'm not up on gaming on Linux because I'm not a gamer (in last 12 months I played no more than 10 hours for that Stellantis game I found on Steam because it's natively compatible with Linux, and never tried emulation/whatever in last decade), so I guess you're right. But usually the need for advanced games is one of the (few) reasons that I consider enough to "allow" a friend to install Windows instead of going for MacOS. Anyway I'll try to catch up a bit about the state of the art of Linux gaming, just to give an alternative to anyone that seeks for any kind of help in that.
I applaud the enthusiasm but I'm not that interested in Norway's medical system. I'm making a point about the larger issue of using foreign data. I spend a lot of time arguing with people on the internet for fun and education; and it is extremely common to get a cheerful comment which - after a few hours of investigation - appears to be an incorrect interpretation of data.

It is hard enough to do for systems that are part of the English speaking world or big, easy to track metrics. It is substantially harder to do for fiddly data series from foreign systems where the primary source material is in a different language.

> And if you're after methodology, analysis or understanding medical data, they follow WHO standards and publications are all in English on pubmed.gov

This goes to the main point - if it turns out that they don't follow WHO standards in an area or there is critical data not on pubmed.gov, what is the expected path for finding that out?

Because in English I have a much better chance of being able to figure that out. The countries are familiar and there is a better chance that the criticisms of the major institutions are well known. In a Norwegian context that already rather challenging task is even harder.

EDIT

An example occurs to me a few minutes later; there was an interesting theory that Japan had a lot of old people because there were unusually strong pension & tax incentives to lie about elderly relatives being alive when they were in fact dead.

The Japanese stats office could be following WHO standards and publishing all their information on pubmed.gov and the series would still be incomparable with other countries if there is an unusual incentive for the stats to deceive coming form an unexpected angle.

Keeping on top of that sort of thing in foreign legal systems is simply hard.
This is all, and will forever be, a fantasy.

You cannot make a product without profit. Linux wins in the data centre because the corporations who make money off selling compute have commoditized their complement. "Linux" wins when it's Android because Google used Linux as a kernel for their offering - which IMHO is still worse than Apple but fine if you prefer Android. It's not open source, though, none of the apps people use on Android are open source, it's just a cheap software component. The Steam Deck, again, exists to sell closed source games.

I used Linux on the desktop for about 10 years. I left it and never looked back. I have a residual affection for the people who actually write open source. But the zealots, with their rants about evil corporations, their Boy Scout fantasies about running the digital economy on volunteer effort, their response to any criticism with "it works for me, you must be stupid/lying", their poor sod grandparents for whom they've kindly installed Arch ... those people are toxic and deserve to be laughed at.
Yes, they do individually chose to use social media. But fewer do. And those who do, use social media less. It is a cultural difference with very little government guidance. And it makes a difference in how profitable this business model is here, as well as what laws are passed in the EU.

Yes, I agree with naturally arising collective action through culture. I argue that this may be all we need and we can do just fine without government intervention. I don’t think government intervention can be as robust as cultural norms, anyways. Tech companies constantly find ways to dance around laws. They can’t dance around their primary source of income choosing not to be exploited.

And this doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. As more people will value privacy, a culture will develop that will reduce exploitative business practices like surveillance capitalism. If fewer people will value privacy, a culture will develop that will enable their exploitation. It’s gradients.

This is not how government databases work. Government is optimized to produce as much papertrail as possible in a lot of different places, including actual paper in a huge journal, listing the entries in the order of their acceptance.

Database is just the cache of current state of things for convenience, but all the events that contributed into reaching this final state are also recorded somewhere multiple times and those pieces of trail capture a lot of duplicate information regarding the previous state of system.

Government itself (as big G) doesn't tamper with data really. There is no point to tamper with data if you can control the rules to reach the final state and can legitimately feed events into it. Individual employees do tamper with data all the time and eventually get caught if somebody else cares enough to point it out and dig enough papertrail to make a point.
> The Windows team systematically dropped the ball / refused to believe the ball existed

Oh, they had a very good go at killing the web or trying to tie it to their existing APIs: the IE6/ActiveX era.

I'm not really sure what they could have done, though. Other than modernize away from WinForms properly; they have repeatedly dropped the ball on UI frameworks and failed to modernize all their own stuff.

Conversely, Apple appear to have "won" despite (because?) completely ditching all backwards compatibility for their APIs on multiple occasions.

Also, if you print your addrs in hex: '0x5fdbbf654600' you can see its aligned to some place. if you'd do number >> 8 it will be '0x005fdbbf6546' which might be more useful if you don't want the least significant bits to be all unset in your random value.
