We work in the sleep space, and this isn't new.

I was at a conference last week, and for the first time heard about a study that suggested that the cycle is that a build up of amyloid, tau, lew bodies, and other metabolic waste in the brain reduces the slow-wave power which is responsible for clearing out this metabolic waste (via the glymphatic system).

This cycle is still not proven, but it was an interesting early hypothosis.

We've been developing slow-wave enhancement technology for the last 4 years which increases slow-wave activity, and the first 3 studies in Alzheimer's and MCI are now published. These are early studies with lots left to go.

It’s not that black and white. Over the long term, shareholders are better off if the journal can maintain a reputation of impartiality, so it would be difficult to prove mismanagement in this case. It’s like when Apple cared more about customer satisfaction and doing the right thing than short-term ROI. Sure, shareholder could sue, but they would likely lose.

The idea that a company must only do what brings shareholder money immediately is a meme that is widely propagated by a certain class of people who stand to profit from it, but the law does not impose that behaviour.

Japan’s labor shortage (the reason for this effort) is the future of all countries, the US will simply get there later due to immigration affinity.

Also, Japan and its workers have a different relationship than the US and its workers. The situation is much more adversarial in the latter.

The need to protect jobs from automation is diminished when workers naturally have job security because there is no concept of surplus labor.
He didn't retell the nativity story because it didn't matter to the Greek speaking gentiles, instead he told them Jesus is the Logos (unfortunately translated as Word in English), which was already a core concept in Greek philosophy, especially Platonism and Stoicism.

The nativity was important for Jewish converts, partly because of descending from kind David (you'll notice the lengthy listings of ancestors in the synoptic gospels).

Literally the author states it's unverifiable data:

The chart has unverified information "The average mineral content of calcium, magnesium, and iron in cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach has dropped 80-90%

> The two things I learned from my experience at the Christian "University" are . . .

You also seem to have become a bit of anti-intellectual yourself. Dismissing a fundamental question in textual criticism (about one of the most influential texts of all time) to a mere "interesting puzzle" and "fodder" for academic journals strikes me as openly hostile to scholarship as such.

But even leaving that aside: Do you really think it would make no difference to our understanding of early Christianity were it conclusively demonstrated that a collection of Christian logia were circulating prior to the writing of the canonical gospels? Or, conversely, that no such collection existed?

People have devoted their scholarly lives to this, because the question is so rich. Did Paul have any knowledge of this collection (and if he did, why doesn't he appear to quote it)? Did only Mark have access to it, or is it the source of sayings in more than one gospel? What is its relation to the Gospel of Thomas (and is the GoT itself a "sayings gospel" akin to Q?) If Q existed, why wasn't it preserved? What if (and this isn't a mainstream view) some kind of "proto-Matthew" existed in, say, Aramaic? Could Mark -- again, a minority view -- be, as some ancient commentators seemed to have believed, a condensation of Matthew?

It just goes on and on. I fail to see why the idea that "most Christians" (an already problematic generalization) are bored by the subject has any bearing on whether this is important work. It's like saying, "theoretical computer science has no bearing on the lives of working programming. So who is it actually for?"

The answer is, other scholars trying to understand the the subject at hand more deeply.

It's not a format :)

It's simpliy about linking metadata from a json to a corresponding image or video file, like pairing data003.png & data003.json to a single, virtual record. Some format use this approach: open-image or laion datasets.
There's also the confounding factor that software engineers, historically, were more in demand as a baseline, so in an environment where you think you can get a job if you're fired, people optimize more for higher risk/higher reward plays, while having job security improvements much more heavily benefits industries where you're seen as more disposable.

> All companies are more powerful than individual workers

Nonsense. Maybe once a business reaches a certain level of power that becomes true, but as a small business owner, the individual workers who work for me have way more power than I do.

> Unions look out for workers. That's their priority. They should not cater to the business.

A worker union is just a collective of workers who have agreed to associate. It would be unusual for workers to look out for anything other than themselves (humans are selfish), but theoretically nothing says they can't cater to the business instead. It depends on what they want.
Yes. Let's use that above.

"It's a well-documented phenomenon that nutrient levels in produce have been declining for decades. ... There are several reasons for this, but most of them are due to modern agricultural practices. These reasons include: ... higher CO2 levels in atmosphere diluting nutrient content in plants, ... "

The author then links to an X post with a chart that shows relative carbon and nitrient levels and that says that "exposure to high levels of CO2 reduces the nutritional value of plants". It's not clear to me from the chart that spinach raised in high CO2 levels would contain less nutrients per kilogram than regular spinach. The chart only show proportions of the nutrients to carbon. Does the amount of carbon per kilogram of edible spinach stay the same or go down as CO2 increases? It's not clear.

About footguns, I'd like to mention an important one: in Go, it's hard to deserialize data wrongly. It's not like python and typescript where you declare your input data to be one thing, and then receive something else. It's a feature that makes server code, which after all is Go's niche, considerably more reliable.

Safety isn't 0% or 100%, and the more a language offers, the better the result. Go is performant, safe, and fairly easy to read and write. What else do you need (in 99.9% of the cases)?
> This sets the bar ludicrously low for "security footgun". If this is a "security footgun" then what is string evaluation in a dynamic scripting language, a "security foot-nuke"?

Not really. Apart from dangerous serialization formats (e.g. Python's "pickle") it's not at all easy to eval a string in modern scripting languages.

String evals are also not widely used anymore.

> knowing the definition would have answered their question.

This is often untrue, though—words will evolve along parallel tracks and often diverge quite significantly in how they're used across different contexts. In those cases the homonyms make for fun etymological deep dives but don't help much for deriving the specialized meaning from the more general one.
I think it's a reasonable observation but it isn't a fair comparative security criteria. The subtext behind error checking critiques is that languages with idiomatic sum type returns avoid authz vulnerabilities, in the same way that memory-safety in Go eliminates UAF vulnerabilities. But authz vulnerabilities are endemic to the mainstream sum type languages, too; they're much more complicated as a bug class than just "am I forced to check return codes before using return values".

Sum types are one of the few things I miss when switching from other languages back to Go. I like them a lot. But I think they're wildly overstated as a security feature. Sum type languages have external tooling projects to spot authz vulnerabilities!

Pride myself on not keeping things to myself in personal and professional life.

Ive been in a prisoners dilemma situation where i followed protocol and stayed quiet, but the other narcd me out. We shared blame and they actually ended up with a harsher punishment because it was another incident in a series of issues.

A different time a coworker I told explicitly to consult me before pushing code to production ignored me and broke prod on a Monday after hours. The next day management grilled me and it was him or me. The truth is that its the whole team for not having a better system, and the business for not providing budget when we've requested budget to improve the system, but these non-technical managers didn't accept that. They clearly stated they wanted to find who was at fault. I pushed him under the bus.

Never felt worse about anything professionally. Sometimes jerk managers force situations where the one of two people will get blamed for a screw up and if the manager is unreasonable to a certain degree the practical option is to narc. Work sucks.
Poetry in theory works fine but I found it a pain to use on Windows. As in flakey. A project works, then a dependency can't be found, so I reboot and then it can.

I was broadly agreeing with this in the parent post:

> Do you think bias is a one-dimensional tug of war that cancels each other out when combined?

I am not saying that we should not seek other sources, just that quoting the union on one side of the dispute is not better than a reporter paid by the journal on the other side. Even worse, because a journal has some incentives to keep a reputation for being truthful, while communications from a union are purely partisan. (That’s not some criticism and unions play an important role; journalism is just not it)

The point is, two wrong points of view do not magically average out to something right. Ideally someone reporting with some distance would be better.

I certainly sympathize with the underlying sentiment, but this post seems to boil down to "managers should be better!" which... yes, definitely. But how?

If you're not going to to use metrics (agree that we are very limited by what can be measured), and not supposed use peer reviews (agree that they can be rife with bias), the only way to reasonably expect the median manager to know the ins and outs of everyone they manage is to have a small ratio of managers to team members. But that means more layers, and people hate that too!

Also let us not forget that the alternative presented ("It's the job of a manager to know what their reports are up to, and whether they're doing a good job of it, and are generally effective.") boils down to "does your manager think you're good" which is it's own giant can of worms.
