Are microplastics fat soluble and/or bound with the cholesterols and sugar alcohols that cake the arteries?

Cellulose and Lignin are dietary fiber:

- "Dietary cellulose induces anti-inflammatory immunity and transcriptional programs via maturation of the intestinal microbiota"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7583510/ :

> Dietary cellulose is an insoluble fiber and consists exclusively of unbranched β-1,4-linked glucose monomers. It is the major component of plant cell walls and thus a prominent fiber in grains, vegetables and fruits. Whereas the importance of cellulolytic bacteria for ruminants was described already in the 1960s, it still remains enigmatic whether the fermentation of cellulose has physiological effects in monogastric mammals. [6–11] Under experimental conditions, it has been shown that the amount of dietary cellulose influences the richness of the colonic microbiota, the intestinal architecture, metabolic functions and susceptibility to colitis. [12,13] Moreover, mice fed a cellulose-enriched diet were protected from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) through changes in their microbial and metabolic profiles and reduced numbers of pro-inflammatory T cells.

But what about fungi in the body and diet?

What about lignin; Is lignin dietary fiber?

From "Dietary fibre in foods: a review" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7583510/ :

> Dietary fibre includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, lignin and associated plant substances.

Ah, so you were referring to the second section? I considered that as a bit of a tounge in cheek, but frequently AAA titles would create tasks for most of these positions. In indie development, sure some or all of these roles would be combined into a single or several persons. That does not mean that all (most) of these would not be done, though.
Aviation is a big one. The SR71 was in the sky in 1964. The gap is probably even closer to 20 years for "consumer" Aviation tech.
I’m not arguing one way or another, but why is it hard to lock someone in the car with the fob inside? The fob isn’t the only way to lock a car…you would just press the lock button inside the door, but him inside, then shut the door.

I have a normal 2016 car which can do this no problem— maybe it’s impossible with other cars but that would seem very odd to me.

I've never understood why people think "more features" is a flex. "Faster compile times" isn't even the primary benefit of fewer features, it's just gravy. More features, even with fast compile times, is a failure (which is probably why most of those "more expressive languages" are no longer with us unless one includes the JIT languages and--disingenuously--only measure the AOT compilation).

Brazil, India, and South Africa seem odd bedfellows with increasingly authoritarian China and Russia.

There are not property rights and there is no security except the security that human beings create for themselves and, ultimately, one another. "Property rights" do not descend from the platonic realm to protect you if someone invades your home. You may protect yourself or your neighbors may protect you or, as is more generally the case, I believe, a general sense of bonhomie shared by human beings everywhere, does most of the protecting. But the rights are a mere convention cooked up by people, for people, and even then they are more a symbolic act against the barbarism of the sorts of sociopaths who show up with soldiers and decide they are the kings.

It's true that now those kinds of people are often directed towards politics and become the elected officials which you assert justify the borders, but in fact most of the borders we live with were never drawn with any consent of the people living there. The vast majority of borders are pure objects of fiat power (especially the border over which the immigration you have a chip on your shoulder about, which was quite literally determined via war).

Herein I'm not advocating charity, which is, nevertheless, a fundamental human virtue. I am advocating that human beings, if they have any rights or dignity at all, have those rights and dignities by virtue of their humanity and not by virtue of where their parents happened to be when they were born. Communities of humans shouldn't tolerate freeloaders, but the people coming across the border are by and large the exact opposite: people willing to work harder for less than many people living here. If you are really so concerned with social parasites, let me suggest you look to institutions like health insurance companies, landlords, etc.
>But every ad I see lately is just right-wing idiocy like PragerU.

Any ideas why the algorithm is feeding you those ads?

I agree the ads suck, but I'm mostly getting drop-shipping junk and crypto.
Not sure the NY Times online operations make more money with ads vs subscriptions, and I’m pretty sure subscriptions are growing much faster.

Do you have data or do you know where to find data?
Depends on what “possible” means. A simulation can never faithfully recreate what it simulates. Can it simulate 1% or 0.01 of reality?

Maybe it simulates 2% of reality but the programmers (being natural reductionists) think that it is 80%. Now the the decision makers can wreck havoc with the pseudo-learnings from the simulation.
The article focuses on over-parenting as a source of anxiety. I think it's interesting how much this view has in common with Freud.

According to Freud, people repress thoughts, memories, and desires. This repression is necessary for people to live in a modern, civilized context. But repression also causes negative emotion, including anxiety. In Freud, parents are key to initiating their children into repression. Over-parenting could lead to overly repressed children, which could in turn cause more anxiety.

> General writing and technical communication skills are a must

Perhaps that is what he is trying to get at? I am sure my communication skills are poor, but I found utility in using these tools a year or so ago. Whatever gibberish I was able to give it often produced a good result. These days I can't seem to get anything usable out of them. It does seem, like the parent suggests, that they have gotten worse.

It may very well be that said tools are no worse, if even better, where communication ability is stronger. However, if we have chosen to optimize these systems for those who are great at communicating, at the cost of those who are not, that doesn't help with the topic at hand. The non-software engineers – implying Average Joe – are almost certainly not going to be great technical writers.
If you know what you want to build and how you want to build it, then maybe I would agree. You want a crew team of a half dozen interchangeable rowers and the fewer boat rockers the better. It might be a miserably bland social environment, and the jokes are all going to be the same, and they all have the same ideas, but they can probably work pretty efficiently because there is no translational loss between the team.

The problem is that most companies don't have savvy enough leadership to actually know what they need to build. In those cases you want diversity of experience, education, culture, etc. so that you have fertile soil in which to grow your solutions.
Wow that's interesting. I'm in Longmont, Colorado. Boulder's annoying little brother with a chip on his shoulder. I was born here, and when I was growing up it was predominantly white. As more Latinos immigrated here white people in my mom's generation went through some rough transitions. Some of their racial bias rubbed off on me at the time.

Funny you should mention private school though because my mom did send me to a private high school. At its most diverse it was probably 90% white, and I wonder if that colors my experience. I did decide to learn Spanish there and ended up minoring in it in university.

One of my daughters goes to a predominately Latino high school, and my other daughter goes to a mostly white Jr. High. My oldest doesn't get any harassment like you describe, so my advice is to come to Longmont. Maybe because it's still a city in flux we humans haven't had a chance yet to revert to our normal xenophobic ways.

Haha but yeah when I go to the tortilleria to try my Spanish the people behind the counter almost always respond politely but pointedly in English. I feel like such a dork.

> payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic

Maybe it is wrong but I did not read much about China blaming US for pandemic outside couple of articles claiming that on US media (including this one) while a lot American media, politicians and ordinary people used to blame China for pandemic since the beginning. I think this is just trying to justify this campaign as a reaction mechanism by the author while he admitted that it had put lives in risk and probably was indirectly cause of death for some. And the rest of article is good.
My brain is slower than my fingers so my edits are never that surgical. If I goofed a few letters in a word I just ciw and retype the whole thing. I never use insert mode when bot using vim either.

Thanks for the high brow dismissal (hey, it's better than low brow). I do quite a lot of reading; I also know that Americans like telling everyone how they are the only ones with the truth and their world view is gospel. I think you guys believe in your own version of history so deeply yourselves that not only do you never question it, you are very effective preachers.

And there, there. You are smarter than anyone foreign. You read more, your mind is more open, and you are always right.
I think you're right - thanks!
I had no intention of posting this to HN (someone I don't know posted it!) and also didn't expect more than the 10 people I shared it with to actually read it - no vote bait intended! I'm happy to take your feedback on a better title that is less baity and more apt.
You're not editing code in the CLI. You're editing code in your preferred editor/IDE. ipython + %edit works wonders. That's one of the main reasons to avoid notebooks and stick with CLI-based or similar tools.

Jumping into the middle of a script and editing is often a bit dangerous. You usually wind up with something that can't be reproduced, as it depends on modifying state in a way that wasn't recorded. You do often need some sort of caching during exploration, for sure (it's not really feasible to wait an hour every time you want to tweak a visualization), but it's often better to break pipelines up a bit and do disk I/O rather than leaning on cells in a notebook.

I do agree on the remote client part, though. Browser-based interactivity often is a good solution for a dev instance + a local thin client. It's slower than native for a local solution, though.

Brilliant. Bravo. Well said. Look at the companies in any recent YC batch and it’s mostly just a long list of ridiculously simple SaaS ideas that anyone who knows how to use a spreadsheet doesn’t need. It’s amazing that so much money and talent in the West is dedicated to expanding rent-seeking and financing, instead of actual innovation or economic productivity. No wonder we have a housing crisis and a stock market decoupled from reality.
Hello, there was no "Nuland-designed Maidan coup", and no, there was no indigenous violent rebellion in the Eastern regions.

Nuland was so personally involved that she was handing over food and drinks to "protestors"

And still she had no effect on the actual course of events. The whole Nuland story exists entirely in the lefty/peacenik blogosphere; but it's a complete non-story within Ukraine. You will literally not find a single educated person who gives any credence to it (outside the usual 5 percent of population who are ready to go off and believe anything).

Where is POSIX actually useful today?

Is it mostly for shell scripts? Aren't people targetting bash or basic bourne shell features intead of posix? Is shellcheck checking for best practices instead of POSIX compliance?

And for other applications (GUI, servers, etc) strict POSIX compliance might be too restrictive?

And with many things being Linux (or Linux-like like WSL) the need for this might be less?

Are Android and/or iOS fully POSIX compliant?

Any good blog or presentation describing the current state of POSIX?
So let's look at the United States. By your definition, this "property right" is still not fundamental, as Property Tax seems to be a thing. [1]

According to the US Constitution, property is outlined as a right but not inalienable. Clearly it's possible for governments to take property with due process (i.e. a process written down) and they don't mention taxing them at all. Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights also doesn't mention taxation, so I still don't see how any of this supports your argument that property taxes violate property rights.

That is what I was wondering. They don't share what version of Opus they are comparing against, and that new version was a huge step forward.
That's surprising from today's perspective, but when I imagine the thought process, it seems reasonable, especially for math and science purposes where multiplication and division operators usually get grouped into a series of multiplications above the division bar, and a series of multiplications below it.
It depends how the rc files are initialized though. I remember last I check I couldn’t get it work on one system (that I don’t have control over those in /etc and those set in my home is not initialized at that stage.)

> I don’t have to go to France to see the Mona Lisa, there are pictures of it online.

True but the Mona Lisa was painted around 1500, so it was about 500 years before the work was digitized and widely available online. There were prints before the internet, but that’s not exactly the master’s work.

I think the music/art should be freely available, but I’ve also been talking about this album for 10 years and until yesterday hearing the 5 minute sampler for the first time, I had never heard a second of it.

In entertainment mediums it often feels like a last-minute band-aid. A novel ramps up too slowly, test readers are giving up on the story before the interesting stuff happens, so the editor suggests "let's just put that cool fight scene in chapter 10 in the beginning so people know what the book is really about".
