> Participants were adults in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study (NIH-AARP) cohort; the PLCO Cancer Screening Trial cohort; and the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort (eFigure 1 in Supplement 1). The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study began in 1995 to 1996, when questionnaires were mailed to current AARP members who were aged 50 to 71 years and resided in 1 of 2 US metropolitan areas or 6 states.

> The PLCO study was a randomized cancer-screening trial that enrolled 154 887 participants at 10 US centers between 1993 and 2001.23 Participants were aged 55 to 74 years at baseline.

> The AHS enrolled 52 394 licensed pesticide applicators, 4916 commercial pesticide applicators, and 32 345 spouses of private applicators who were aged 18 years or older from Iowa and North Carolina from 1993 to 1997.

That sounds like more a broader approach then just "middle class and above types".

If you're gonna invest in an aircraft builder that sometimes forgets to put the bolts in, I think only losing 8% is a pretty good deal.
There is outsourcing of e.g. the engines, various hydraulic/electrical systems, electronics etc. etc. and then there is outsourcing bits of the fuselage, which is maybe not such a good idea. I mean, I understand how this came about - e.g. Spirit's location in Wichita was originally an independent airplane manufacturer (Stearman Aircraft, which was bought by United Aircraft and Transport Corp. and then became part of Boeing after UATC was broken up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_AeroSystems#History). Airbus is also made up of bits and pieces of various (former) European aircraft makers, so they also have assembly plants spread all over the continent, but these parts actually got more tightly integrated over the years, while Boeing took the opposite path.

isn't this question in the context of a face to face interview already? so you're setting aside time to talk to these people for 30+ minutes anyway. is it really that difficult to spend a few minutes scanning the company website / eng blog and finding at least something that you could say looks interesting?

i feel like if you're talking to so many companies that this would be too much work, it's probably useful to focus on tightening that funnel so more early interviews turn into offers.

Actually, it is possible to overdose on vitamin D, though it’s relatively rare. Vitamin D toxicity, also known as hypervitaminosis D, occurs when there is an excessive amount of vitamin D in the body. This can happen through very high doses of supplements over an extended period or by accidental ingestion of high-dose vitamin D supplements.
The debate over multivitamins tends to miss the forest for the trees, in my opinion.

One, there is no real downside to taking them other than their cost.

Two, there are definite and dramatic benefits to taking specific vitamin supplements if you're deficient. E.g. if you don't get enough vitamin C in your diet a supplement will protect you from getting scurvy. A more modern example is iron deficiency, a third of American women are iron deficient. Vitamin D supplementation is recommended in the winter, etc.

So the idea behind the multivitamin is it may help you out with stuff you don't know you need, basically, and also it may not, but you have nothing to lose by taking one.

To date I haven't come across a study which attempts to frame the issue in this light. A study about longevity doesn't really change my point of view: I take them after a night of drinking where a hangover is probably incoming and god knows precisely what I'm deficient in the next day. The medical system's only advice is don't drink and I already blew that one :)

Pretty much this (and it was doctor prescribed - as much as this might be debatable)

> > Additionally, a horizontal stabilizer in the back needs to be pitched down relative to the wings, creating downwards lift, pitching the plane up.

> Naturally, this is a fundamental source of inefficiency.

It's also not correct. The stabilizer in the back (or more generally: the wing in the back) needs to have a smaller angle of attack than the wing in front. In the common case (wing in back much smaller than wing in front) the wing in the back often is designed with negative angle of attack to create enough margin, but it's not strictly speaking necessary.

There are planes (like the Lilium you mention, or the planes designed by Burt Rutan) that have a small wing in the front (a canard) and a large wing in the back, providing most of the lift. In that case the wing in the back obviously needs to have a positive angle of attack to create the lift for the plane to stay in the air.

That may look like a special case, but it is not, aerodynamically speaking. The rule is the same for all types of planes: for stability, the back needs a lower angle of attack than the front, and that does not necessarily mean it needs to be negative. It also means the plane's center of gravity does not necessarily have to be in front of the front wing.

See https://www.av8n.com/how/htm/aoastab.html#sec-basic-stabilit..., and more specifically https://www.av8n.com/how/htm/aoastab.html#sec-canard-same.

I don't really know whether canard configurations solve the inefficiency problem of horizontal stabilizers with negative angle of attack: canards necessarily have a high angle of attack, which also creates drag.

(Note that all of the above is only relevant for planes with classic static stability (which is almost all of them); planes with relaxed static stability and fly-by-wire are kept stable by computer instead of aerodynamics.)
everything including water can be toxic at high doses. when I say its not really a thing, it means that it is indeed very uncommon compared to the amount of people who take supplements.

Raivo OTP (2FA) resets data without warning
I today came to my raivo OTP - a popular iOS 2FA app - just to be greeted with an initial setup screen.

Upon completing setting up a new master password I came to an empty screen. I'm locked out of all my providers without any warning due to an update that resets the application (thanks iOS for auto updating).

The "file bug" link in the app item leads to a deactivated github issue section and the maintainer is closing and deleting comments that people - in understandable panic mode - leave in PRs.

I'm aware that I can restore 2FA with backup codes, still this behavior is highly unprofessional and people should be warned IMO to switch to a trustworthy application and avoid the developer of this application completely.
I'd personally target the "source" of the addictiveness: outlaw behavioral analytics that, on those apps, analyse any detail of your navigation (how fast you scroll, where you stop etc.).

A: Many people are not aware that's a thing: "I did not click like on a racist video, but it keeps showing them to me", when in reality, the algorithm detected that you slowed down when shown that type of content so decided to feed more of it to you.

B: I targets your worse instinct (oh a half naked girl, maybe she has something interesting to say?), and if you're not aware of point A, it's a loosing battle. If you are aware of point A, it's constantly tiring to have to adjust you speed scroll etc.

I would personally make a GDPR type law that would require:
"Any feed of user data must be presented in a non-opaque way, such as chronological, ranked by upvotes etc. Any personalized feed based on expectations of user preference should be entirely transparent, by allowing the user to access, modify their profile, as well as locking them (preventing future behaviour from changing the type of content you see).
Obviously it has disappeared because people have been pulled into global networks. Its like becoming part of the Borg. Can you imagine the Borg without a network?

More complex the network, less control any individual has on anything.

That has to be reimagined to escape the current trajectory.
Quite right. I recently started taking multivitamins, and was told by the doctor I need to take 800IU per-day (based on my blood levels) of Vitamin D (I have "Olive" skin), the multivitamin provides only half of that (400IU/10uG).

You shouldn't double up on the multivitamin or you'll be overdosing on other vitamins it contains, so an additional Vit D is required.
> The UK govt recommends a 100IU supplement [...] current understanding is that an adult needs 1000-2000IU

(That page also says 400IU is what adults need, do you have a source for your 'current understanding' by any chance?

The one-sided pattern matching seems to be a peculiarity of Elixir. The post above discusses an implementation of full unification without that restriction. To clarify, unification is not generally restricted to one-sided matching only.

Is unification unnecessary for pattern matching? I think that depends on what you meany by "pattern matching". In programming cirlces "pattern matching" usually means matching strings. Now, unification is Turing-complete pattern matching, meaning that it goes well beyond e.g. regular expressions that can only match the set of strings recognised by regular automata. For instance, in Prolog, you can unify a variable with an entire Prolog program and call the program at runtime, etc. So if you need "pattern matching" only to match strings then you probably don't need the full power of unification.

If I understand correctly (not an expert) Hindley-Milner type checking, the type checking that uses unification, relies exactly on that ability of unification to match entire programs. Anyway that kind of type checking is indeed pattern matching by unification. So it's not different than pattern matching on strings with regular expressions. The difference is only in what kinds of strings can be matched.
you typically dont behave the same way when you receive a check from someone. just like people dont openly criticize their boss at work.

Unfortunately a vast section of the population are are classed poor or in poverty, and so cant afford anything better than wonder bread. This is why fortified foods were introduced in the first place.

Its not a conspiracy to make you think that chemically created foods are as good as naturally produced unprocessed foods, its so that people who cant afford or dont have access to healthy natural food dont get deseases like rickets, spinal conditions, or other growth mutations which are common from malnutrition.

I feel like your argument has its heart in the right place, but is incredibly uninformed.
What if the origin of Osiris-Rex (Asteroid) is higher energy debris from a major impact to Earth during the early stages of organic life on the planet. Wasn't one theory (?) for our moon's creation such an impact and then a large mass splitting off to form the moon? I could easily imagine smaller bodies with higher local concentrations of energy being ejected from such an event.

I wonder how many people talking about self-control have a good relationship with their phone? I don't know anyone personally who likes their relationship with their phone.

I've been considering and trying to practice being kinder to myself, my phone, and my relationship with it. I still want to use less of it, but it's now a part of us, and will take time to almost amputate. I want to just stop feeding it, and let it die off slowly, peacefully instead of amputating it with a hacksaw.

Any kind of self-control based on shame seems doomed to be a vicious cycle.
Well, I have to say that German supermarket bread stacks up pretty well against so-called artisanal bread in many other parts of the world, and definitely against their industrial bread. (That's purely a judgement of taste and texture. I'm not making any health claims here.)

The German supermarket bread is obviously produced on an industrial scale to keep the costs down, but given the preferences of German consumers, the bread still gets enough time to ferment and there's no sugars nor shortening added. (One of our my goals here in Singapore is, funny enough, to recreate a 'normal' German bread, a so called Mischbrot, in my home kitchen.)

So it's not so much that industrial is bad, as that certain types of processing and ingredients are probably bad. I agree that especially corn syrup seems very suspicious, whether lovingly hand crafted or industrially produced.
I prefer modal editing. It feels the best to me, but that could be because I learned it.

I had to learn vim back when I was a basic system administrator so when it came time to start doing real coding it was an obvious choice. I also prefer properly open source software, and if possible, non-corporate backed. So it checks all my boxes especially now that I'm not "missing" anything from VSCode.

When people ask me though I recommend VSCode to most normies, I don't think vim is worth it nowadays.

Scratch is much simpler and less powerful than Lisp, missing many of Lisp's most important features, like first class functions, complex data structures, and other first class objects. You can't even pass lists around as parameters, or include lists in other lists, and it's missing homoiconicity (representing code as data), reflection, macros, special forms, or even user defined blocks and control structures, etc.

But Snap! goes way beyond Scratch, since it was inspired by and visually similar to Scratch, but is just as powerful as Scheme, including functions and everything else as first class objects, lexical closures, continuations, user defined blocks, macros, special forms, etc. It's much more powerful than Scratch, but uses the same visual interlocking block syntax.

An Open Letter to the United Nations
Today, a group of technical experts involved in the development and maintenance of the Internet and the Web, including Vint Cerf (Internet pioneer) and Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web), published an open letter calling on the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General and the Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology to "uphold the bottom-up, collaborative and inclusive model of Internet governance that has served the world for the past half century" as part of the upcoming Global Digital Compact (GDC).
The Newtonian explaination of lift is partially but not completely correct. It only explains some of the lift which is empirically observed. Particularly the "push air down" model; the tops of wings also pull air down along themselves (assuming there isn't flow separation, e.g. a stall) and direct it down. To really explain that flow you need fluid dynamics.
It is an absolute truth in the sense that it is true for all code that was not specifically written to be formally proven correct. So, given an arbitrary piece of code, it's impossible to verify it (because of the halting problem).

To be honest I think you can find people interested in anything, or get them to be interested. The problem is, having passionate employees rarely translates into revenue.

> The solution is easy: make a chat-only version mandatory.

I'm not sure how well that work work given the very fuzzy lines between "enough to connect with peers" versus "everything else". For example, a "show off your pictures" company could obey the letter of the rule but break the spirit, but not allowing the images-being-discussed in the chats, making participation pointless.

I think a more-robust approach would be a scheme permitting the development of third-party "frontends" for these services (possibly already permitted by law [0]) with the compromise that they must pass-through any non-personalized ads the service makes available.

That way it creates competition of "kid safe" versions--whatever blend of functionality that really means--and companies come under pressure to have a not-too-shitty version of their own.
