Life is political. Believing that it’s not only means that someone who is also pretending that life is not political will make the rules.
But X for them is an echo chamber of opposite beliefs.

The premium account system where comments are not sorted chronologically but where paid accounts post first (on top of a poorly moderated platform) leads to drive-by toxicity, not intelligent discourse.
You are stuck in a centralized mindset where the only way to host content is to pay someone else with a static IP address and a reliable connection to host it for you, and to pay a domain registrar to link to it.

Why shouldn't hosting a webpage or social media content be as easy and reliable as seeding files on bittorrent? Programs like syncthing are proof that this model works in other domains, for example "cloud" storage.

That was Van Halen. They used the "bowl full of M&Ms, but no brown M&Ms" requirement as a simple litmus test, after repeatedly showing up at venues that lied about fundamental problems like doors that couldn't fit all of the band's equipment.
There's also the likely chance your business doesn't have good documentation on how features should work, there are no tests and the thing you're testing is fairly custom tailored to your business that you need to have someone with knowledge of the product and history of it to tell you "oh yes that's supposed to happen that way".

Sure if there is a law written down or past written regulations your business follows, that's easy. You've got docs.
I'm sure they could have, and still might.

But, if that's notably more expensive than tossing the butter in the trash, then tossing it in the trash makes sense. We have plenty of milk and cows. We can always make more butter.

> alex jones made a big mistake in vilifying the victims. But please do not take that as a pass to do the same to alex jones as he did to his victims. An eye for an eye will make the world blind.

I'm sorry but this really undersells what Alex did. He didn't make a simple mistake and he wasn't taken to court quickly.

Those kids were brutally murdered in 2012. The first lawsuit against Jones over it was filed in 2018. Jones spent 6 years calling it a hoax, calling the parents liars, and paying "reporters" to harass parents, family, first responders, and government officials.

The parents ended up moving, changing their names, hiring private security, getting shot at, and one died by suicide. One parent said they knew when Jones mentioned them because new harassment started shortly afterwards.

Jones was contacted by the parents, asked to stop, and one parent would issue dmcas to stop him from continually sharing his deceased son's photo.

In Jones' text messages, he and his crew called the sandyhook experts crazy and used sandyhook as a shorthand to crazy conspiracy garbage.

So why did he do it? Because he would daily track his sales and noticed that days where he talked about sandyhook brought in more money.

This was all proved in court and depositions.

Alex Jones is far from persecuted. And I'd love living in a world where someone who dedicated 6 years of their media empire to harassing harassing greaving parents, that person loses their money and company.

To expand your last paragraph, I've been wondering about how the whole thing will affect geo-politics (as well as national politics). I wonder if there's a forum of people doing thinking about all possible scenarios. Things like the world pivoting towards China because, hey, Xi is a despot, but at least he isn't volatile...

The joke was, when Putin invaded Ukraine everyone turned from epidemiology experts into geo-political experts. I wonder where the proper experts are now.

I'm sort of wondering too if this isn't news telephone where each source is plagiarizing the last.

I found this: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-butter-recall/

That links to the two recall notices. (You have found one already.)

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/index.cfm?Product=210580
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/index.cfm?Product=210581

The article goes on to say,

> General guidelines from the FDA advise consumers who have purchased any recalled food to dispose of the product or return it to the retailer for a full refund.

Which is a bit of a different statement… general guidelines would have to cover things like a recall for E. coli … and isn't perhaps the best advice here. But I'm wondering, did that get twisted into TFA's

> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is urging customers to check their refrigerators for specific product codes and to follow its disposal instructions if they find affected butter.

…when no specific urging for this is taking place, which is what I think most readers would think?

(But holy heck. Why do those recall notices not appear on the FDA recalls[1] page?)

Dunno who's down-voting you but:

My life did not change because you called me racist in this particular conversation.

If my regular social circle or work environment thought I was racist however, my life very definitely would change.

It does not matter whether I'm actually racist (by some imaginary objective standard) or what "the world" would think about me. Nor what might qualify or not qualify in some other part of the world and whether or not I was wild. What matters to each person is always their own current local reality. Whether they like it, whether it's fair, whether it makes sense objectively, or not.
Who's getting sick from this regulation? Presumably not people with allergies to the regulated items
> HN is literally owned and operated by a VC company

So? I have never seen instances where YC's organizational viewpoint controlled the overall discussion, and I think dang is probably the best moderator on the planet.

Sure, HN has a focus around the "tech startup ecosystem", and that may attract a certain type of viewpoint, but I've never seen that viewpoint pushed from an institutional perspective.
Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have physical releases for most of their games that they can't take from my cold dead hands. Valve has singlehandedly killed that market for PC games.
The whole point of the allergens section is so that people with allergies do not need to read the whole ingredient list every time they buy the product.

In the specific case of butter the whole ingredient list is small enough that reading it every time would be no big deal, but many food items contain dozens of ingredients and the manufacturers often make changes to the recipe. If people cannot rely on the allergen list at the bottom they would have to read the full ingredient list of everything every time.
It would have to be by law.

I'm skeptical of this. Sounds ugly.
I'm sympathetic to arguments about consistent labeling but don't sit there and pretend like there's no downsides. Enforcing rules to the point of absurdity damages people's trust in the FDA. That has consequences too.
Yeah I don't understand this either, because the same is true in Latin American countries. What's worse is immigrants who never had allergies in their country of origin come here and develop all sorts of seasonal allergies.

Everyone tells you it goes fast but you really can't prepare for the whiplash you get when 20 years have slid by.

You can work around both, but I agree that's a big point of friction.

You can extract your data, but you can't import your posts on another Mastodon instance. It's fixable, but thorny.

Personally, I think Bluesky is a mix of NIH with a dash of wanting to be a central point of control, that is doomed in the long run - anything that works well for Bluesky can be copied, but the real benefit for the Fediverse in the long run is that Mastodon is just one of many services, or types of services. Every new service gets to hook into an existing network instead of starting from scratch.

CUE has a package (cue/flow) that has a default implementation but also allows you to build custom tasks on top of the engine & evaluator. The nice thing about this setup is that it infers the dependencies between tasks based on the references to inputs/outputs between them. The main drawback of most of these things is that they don't scale beyond a single machine. That's why people choose tools like Airflow.

I found both, actually. They're both in the "event" link I provided, but you can't get a detail view for recall F-0122-2025. This seems fine to me, given that all of the data you'd find in the detail view for each seems to be present in the "event" view that displays them both.

> (But holy heck. Why do those recall notices not appear on the FDA recalls[1] page?)

I think because of this: " Press Release Not Issued For This Recall ".

Oh, that's an excellent spot. Yeah, a game of lazy telephone is probably exactly what happened.

Wrongly framed. The price of not shutting down coal is an planet that would uninhabitable. That would cost more than all of the value humans ever created, create, or ever would create had we chosen more wisely to stop killing ourselves for the temporary "crack high" of profits today. Now, the challenge is in decarbonizing energy and all other industries one-by-one to limit the damage and destruction that has already been set in motion by energy already imparted and will be retained using the sky as an open sewer.
We have a long way to go to shut down coal power. Here's a graph of current global fossil fuel consumption in exajoules. China uses about 84 exajoules of coal power, and is approaching 4 exajoules of nuclear, so that's a big job to replace with nuclear. China plans to triple their nuclear from their current ~50 plants, but that's still a smallish fraction of total demand.

https://www.voronoiapp.com/energy/China-and-the-US-Are-Respo...

For current coal consumption:

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Coal/Global-Coal-Production-Hits...

> "Global coal consumption also hit a new high, exceeding 164 EJ for the first time. This represented a 1.6% increase from 2022, a growth rate seven times higher than the average over the previous decade. China remained the largest consumer, responsible for 56% of global coal use. China’s coal consumption increased by 4.7% in 2023, more than four times the country’s 1.1% average coal consumption growth rate of the past decade. For the first time, India’s coal consumption in 2023 surpassed the combined consumption of Europe and North America. Meanwhile, coal consumption in both Europe and North America dropped below 10 EJ each, marking their lowest levels since 1965."

The planet thus continues to head full tilt towards Pliocene conditions last seen 2-5 mya. A rational civilization would at this point be investing in a massive infrastructure project on a global scale to adapt to these new conditions, while simultaneously stepping up wind/solar/storage deployment at scale.

>having to agree to a code of conduct is a gate, but I don't think we want to remove that one

depends on who you ask.

but in general I think that the goal of gatekeeping should be to filter out bad candidates without filtering out good candidates. You could imagine that for a medical degree, if students were graded on exams based on their handwriting and spelling that many otherwise good candidates would be eliminated, which is bad. So we want to avoid arbitrary gates and uphold meaningful gates.

If we are talking about gatekeeping new technology, we might want almost everyone who uses it to grasp it well, so it does not become a system of organized control. It may be reasonable to allow the technology to filter those who struggle with its inherent problems, but it would be good to avoid filtering out people due to the tech's unnecessary complexity (complexity based on its implementation, for example). So it is good to cull this unnecessary complexity of the system.

For example, a good gate for technology is making sure users understand the modular aspects of it (for example on linux this would be commands and unix pipes) and how to repurpose those modules for their own needs. A bad gate in this case might be bash syntax.
Speaking as someone who has a severe peanut allergy, it does help.

Like Dr. Gupta said in the article, it is "so disappointing" that companies add sesame to products that didn't originally have them (they've done this with peanut flour too), but it's absolutely worth the tradeoff of getting sesame added as a "must label" allergen.

There's so much uncertainty surrounding food allergy safety (particularly regarding children), and it can be heavy knowing that each meal could be your last.

Barring impossible-to-avoid circumstances like the 2015 cumin fiasco (where suppliers cut spices with ground-up peanut shells), it's a true weight off your back knowing that a product does not contain an allergen
Frankly, the heuristic I've developed over the past few years working on a team that sounds like yours is: The data scientists are probably right.

If you're actually operating on an object, ie. the equivalent to a single row in a dataframe, then yeah, it's silly to use a dataframe library. But if you're operating on N value objects ... yeah you probably want a dataframe with N rows and a column for each field in your object.

Your mileage may vary I guess, but I resisted this for quite awhile and I now think I was the one who was wrong.
DataFrames are easy to use, everyone knows how to use them, you can move fast, and it's easy to iterate and test differences between things, and reviewing the code is a breeze.

That said, my team moved to polars about a year ago and we haven't looked back.

_Maybe_. That'd take up more space on the packaging, and things with small packages may not have enough space to put the whole table.

What do you do when the package is too small to contain the whole table? Do you leave things off? Now all of a sudden your standard table isn't so standard. Do you make the table smaller? Make it too small and folks who can't see well are proper fucked.

I'm not saying your idea is BAD, but I am saying that it's likely the FDA thought about it and rejected it for not-entirely-unreasonable reasons.

As HN generally standardises on "X has died" for obituaries, it's possible to search most obituary notices through Algolia. Collating by popularity / votes is a pretty good proxy for significance:

<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>

At this writing, Stephen Hawking, Bram Moolenaar, Keven Mitnick, Paul Allen, Queen Elizabeth II, Gordon Moore, John Conway, Dennis Ritchie, and Joe Armstrong are the top ten matches.

Note that this misses a few entries, e.g., Steve Jobs ("has passed away": <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3078128>) and Mike Magee ("Mike Mageek is dead": <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41285851>).

I'd emailed dang regarding the last, noting that not only does the entry not follow the HN "has died" convention, but it misspels (as an in-joke) Magee's name. Dang defended that as in the spirit of the site (and arguably Magee), but it does make searching for the obituary more challenging.

Also worth noting that Stephen Hawking's obit remains the top HN story of all time by votes, for going on eight years.
