The restriction is contractual in nature, and contracts are enforced by the courts system through civil litigation. The courts can overturn the contract on antitrust grounds, but that will never actually happen at scale, due to a set of interconnecting reasons:

1. Courts do not consider hypotheticals. In order to get the issue before a court, you have to actually buy the land and actually get sued over it.

2. Most people in a position to start up new grocery stores barely have enough capital to start one store, and cannot afford to tie it up in litigation for the next five to ten years.

3. Those in a position to attack the deed restriction are other large chains, who all have class solidarity and would never dare of attacking their own business practices.

Sometimes the logic behind #3 breaks - usually when a business in one industry tries to expand horizontally into other industries. This used to be a lot more common back when we had functioning caps on business consolidation, but now pretty much everyone owns everyone else. And sometimes someone decides to commit financial suicide, breaking the logic behind #2. But that brings us to the next reason:

4. Courts really, really do not like getting people out of contracts, even - and especially - really, really unfair ones.

Because...

0. Courts do not want to be arbiters of fairness, because fairness is arbitrary. Laws and contracts carry the illusion of impartiality, which is often good enough to trick otherwise bright minds into getting lost in the weeds of caselaw and clauses instead of asking "Hey, aren't we playing into someone else's hands"?

Assuming that this suggestion of “pushing up” CSF is possible, if taken literally, it would increase intracranial pressure (ICP). The normal ICP range is around 7-15 mmHg, and pressures outside this range can reduce cerebral perfusion, with increases potentially causing cerebral ischemia and brain herniation. Therefore, maintaining normal ICP is crucial for brain health. Let’s assume this supposed technique alters ICP minimally enough to stay within the normal range. I am not aware of any evidence suggesting that ICP at the higher end of normal (or anywhere within normal) is associated with health benefits.

They also stray far afield of what would have been typical of Judaism at the time and in the place where Jesus was practicing (Jesus also was a bit far afield but was more or less reasonably within the tradition of messianism at the time, especially since the Roman conquest. Within Judaism of that time the whole Jesus story or similar isn't all that crazy).

Now clearly Jesus was controversial in many ways and maybe not super Orthodox, maybe it has some more Gnostic explanation...but I just find that highly implausible compared to the much more historically plausible story told in the non Gnostic gospels.

It's fair to question whether the Gnostic gospels are being faithful to a historical movement or whether they are a form of hellenistic fanfiction for lack of a better way to describe a lot of that content. I think they are interesting...but looking at Judaism of the time and the religion in that area and then landing on "Gnostic Jesus" really seems like a stretch. If anything, I would suspect that somebody like Paul probably played up Jesus' acceptance of some Greco-Roman cultural stuff during his ministry to try and lessen the culture shock. If gnosticism was accepted and taken seriously I really doubt Paul's writing would be what they are.

Strategically, putting myself in the shoes of somebody trying to spread the religion of some Jewish guy who maybe got a little liberal with things but was definitely an actual practicing Jew from the Middle East and living in a Jewish culture, the writings we've actually got that are attributed to Paul (as well as the regular gospels) make a lot of sense in the context of the ordinary gospels and new testament canon, and the Gnostic stuff doesn't really make all that much sense.

Sure, much could have been suppressed or destroyed. But it would have had to have been a pretty thorough destruction for a hypothetical Gnostic canon to have been coherent enough to be remotely competitive with what wound up winning out.

In other words, while the Gnostic texts are indeed very interesting and can be fun reads, and there is some debate to be had over canon (but I think a more productive debate would probably be over something like Enoch), the early church and councils and whatnot probably made the right final decision w.r.t most of the Gnostic texts. That's just my opinion of course.

It's always more fun to believe there is a big conspiracy out there trying to supress the true story. But I think a simpler and more realistic explanation is just that the Gnostic texts kinda suck, read a bit like fan fiction by somebody that is culturally disconnected with what they are commenting on, and don't really fit together very coherently and introduce a lot of unnecessary or irrelevant questions. I don't think it's a big mystery why the early church wound up dumping them.

This isn't actually a very good attribution to specifically anthropogenic global warming. But it is a decent one to anthropogenic factors broadly. The metaphor of laying a fire is quite literal here: if global warming increases the number of sparks, that's actually the smaller piece of the problem. The bigger one is mismanagement of forest and ecological disruption leading to more and bigger fires laid for those sparks to catch.

My guess is there could be future impacts around the condition of forests that leads to susceptibility. Drought comes to mind as a serious risk. But a forest of dry trees is still a much harder environment for wildfires to form and spread than a forest of dry trees and no proper forestry to manage it.
Next step: turn it into a web native custom element instead, and then trivially have a React version of that too by making a component that just correctly wraps the custom element.
I mean they called it systray.exe, it had no other name in the Windows 95/98 interface, so what else should we have called it?

It's like at my current company, we have a legacy product called Volcano, but we don't sell it anymore. However components of it still exist in our current products/platform, so when the Volcano service fails or needs to be reconfigured, the management types get upset that we still call it Volcano. The only problem is that specific component, while not customer facing, still exists and they never renamed it. Don't bitch at me because I have to literally communicate to the support team to fiddle the Volcano button

Moral of the story is, if they didn't want it to be called the system tray they shouldn't have named it system tray dot executable, and should've been more intentional in documentation and elsewhere at publicizing a different name

For sure, they were written earlier. The point is two of the purported authors claim to be of the 12 disciples; the other two were scribes to two apostles. There is no evidence that this is true. It seems weird that the authorship was not reported for 140 years and then suddenly the authors were rediscovered.

Why does it matter? It is the difference between eyewitness testimony and hearsay. Either type of testimony could be true or false, but generally speaking we put more weight on eyewitness testimony and far less on hearsay.

I think the counter-point to that would be that if you're writing infrastructure as code, and your architects are using a specific language anyways (Python in this case), it makes more sense for data governance and editing reasons to just keep things in the existent ecosystem and not worry about having to procure another license.

It’s not completely wrong, it’s just way too specific. Autoimmunity usually has an important (known) genetic basis.

I just wouldn’t word it as something so simple as “a genetic alteration”. It’s usually more like “a combination of hundreds of genetic predispositions”, which could comprise acquired mutations as well as natural variants of various genes. And that is quite often mixed in with a few dozen environmental or epidemiological factors.

Show HN: Langur – consistent, observable LLM agents
Hi HN! I've been working on a new type of LLM agent framework designed with consistency and observability in mind. The agent behavior is represented as a directed graph, you can save/load agents, and the agent representation is JSON so you can store agents or send over the wire. It's also designed to have modular behavior that can be customized, and makes it easy to connect to real-world systems.

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts!

And so I'm not sure the video was about this specifically. To me, it was more about how narrative and tribalism easily overpower critical thinking in general. Being decided and then unwilling to change your mind is one thing, but as the video details, the issue discussed actually exhibits itself with open minded people more.

Interesting that they say this cable is “potentially for AI” - I really wonder to what end? The ‘Ask Meta AI’ thing they’ve put in Facebook and Instagram seems pretty useless, the comment summaries are potentially kind-of useful but surely actually reduces the engagement (if it makes people less likely to read the comments and therefore less likely to comment themselves, or like or reply to comments).

So that mostly leaves “AI generated nonsense content” for Facebook and Instagram which surely people are going to get sick of fast…?

Just really not actually seeing where they actually get a useful product out of AI here…

This is a blip. Anti-ship missiles were expensive and sophisticated so we had expensive, sophisticated defeneses.

Interesting question.

I agree that video calls are a special hell.

I think I am reasonably high functioning in in-person settings, but I suspect I don’t read body language very well. I find eye contact difficult to maintain for reasons I do not know.

On the phone, I feel like conversations can be slower and more deliberate. I feel a freedom in not having to control my expressions and show my interest. I can just focus entirely on their voice, and I feel I have become very adept at this. I love podcasts and audiobooks and such, maybe there is a connection.

My wife describes very differently dynamics. She wants to meet with folks in person to “read” them better. She thinks my preference for phone only makes no sense.

Someone talking to a "yes, and" dialogue tree about intrusive thoughts is a recipe for obsessive behavior. Therapists are trained to recognize when someone is using therapy to exercise (and therefore strengthen, "outlet theory" is thoroughly debunked) a dangerous paraphilia, which can often be subtle. Oh and is an LLM a mandated reporter?

It's absolutely not the case that "talking" in the sense you mean is always better than nothing.
Or maybe the author did that on purpose: made up a prophecy, to make Jesus look like a prophet. He did not mention fulfillment of that prophecy because all his potential readers already knew about that.
On the Farrer hypothesis, Luke used Matthew as a source, accounting for their shared material. Mark Goodacre may be the current leading academic proponent of the Farrer hypothesis. His article ‘Fatigue in the Synoptics’ (https://www.markgoodacre.org/Q/fatigue.htm) is a short read that makes part of the case.

>Land tax cannot be passed on to tenants or businesses.

Correct, and the parent post is proposing taxes on things other than the land itself.

If I sell rights to hike across my private property, or make a contract with nature conservancy not to chop down my trees, I still have the land (and pay taxes).

To make the nature conservancy pay property taxes as well for contract rights they own is just like having a tenant pay for private use of my house, or a consumer for a shared access right to my gym.
