No, it is not quite so. The real wealth and prosperity was to the south, in Bukhara and Samarkand. The territory of (present-day) Kazakhstan was not particularly affected. Some rudiments of civilization were in Kazakhstan in the pre-Mongol era. After that nothing much happened there, there was a steppe where nomads grazed their cattle. I think that's where the history of those you call “they” begins. Great development and industrialization took place only after WWII.

"Allen says artificial intelligence and machine learning could transform this even further – algorithms could look at your previous choices when you last visited a restaurant and suggest other items you might like.

“The restaurant industry has probably spent tens of billions of dollars over the years trying to understand menu design, menu engineering and psychology,” he says. “But the opportunities presented by the fourth industrial revolution are huge. Imagine being able to order a meal that has been designed to include your favourite foods with a single click.”

Well, no, as the article suggests, AI will instead be used to direct diners to the most profitable menu item.

Color me a bad reader: what does this mean? The abstract pretty much leaves me in the abstract.
> why structured editors haven’t taken over the world: most programmers find them so annoying to use in some situations that they don’t view the pros as outweighing the cons.

Seems like "annoying" refers to a user interface annoyance.

I'm guessing the following since I couldn't tell what structured editing is like from the article:

Keyboard entry is immediate, but prone to breaking the program structure. Structured editing through specific commands is an abstraction on top of key entry (or mouse), both of which add a layer of resistance. Another layer might come from having to recall the commands, or if recognizing them, having to peruse a list of them, at least while learning it.

What does the developer's experience with incremental parsing feel like?

I see, at the first time it sounded more like questioning the project's reason to exist...

E.g. Chromium, Firefox, clang, including debug symbols will be quite sizable - Chromium sometimes trips me up when I somehow (usually accidentally) enable the debug config, and the only thing I see is the linker complaining that my 32-bit Arm target will be unhappy with the 6GB+ executable... I imagine some people do this intentionally, hacking on these projects directly.

> Did you not notice that your Newsweek article rates this claim as false?

Yes.

> Definitions are always imprecise anyway.

That's the same conclusion the article arrives at in order to claim it as false, when in fact, it has to admit, the definition _was_ actually changed. You're happy they're waving their hands the same as you happen to be. "Complete horseshit" is really absurd thing to say in the face of this reduction of yours, isn't it?

> and it was changed because mRNA stuff is the first time something didn’t work that way

It was the first time something didn't work that way and was additionally being mandated. The concern was raised that mandating something which fails to meet the previous definition of vaccine was a flaw in policy and so the definition was, in fact, changed. You ironically seem to notice that it was changed as a result of public policy and not due to any other obvious reason.

> This is obviously wrong because no vaccine provides total immunity.

Most vaccines provide total immunity. That's because the disease they target is not a flu that has rapid genetic mutations and where the introduction of a leaky "vaccine" does not create evolutionary pressure on the target disease.

You can move the goalposts to debating weather a Tetanus "vaccine" meets the definition, but Tetanus is caused by a bacteria, so almost no definition of "vaccine" will apply to it anyways. Other than this oddity do you have even one other example?

> your first thought should be to look up what the old one said and see if it was actually an accurate definition

So it changed, but it was to make it "more accurate," so my claim that it was changed is somehow actually wrong? You've fallen into a tautological trap. You see why I consider you to be ideologically possessed?

> And you should have the basic knowledge to be able to understand when it was clearly deficient.

Yet they felt the need to change at the same time they introduced an entirely new vaccine and also decided that people needed to take this new vaccine or have their civil rights removed. That seems to be the "deficiency" they were trying to correct and were not at all suddenly concerned with improving accuracy at just a really unfortunate time.

So are there any other goal post distractions you'd like to hyper focus on in an effort to ignore the original point?
> As populations move and shrink, people are leaving long-occupied places behind. Often they leave everything in place, ready for a return that never comes. In Tyurkmen, Christmas baubles still hang from the curtain rails in empty houses, slowly being wrapped by spiders. In one abandoned home, a porcelain cabinet lay inside a crater of rotted floorboards, plates still stacked above a spare packet of nappies for a visiting grandchild. Occasionally, abandonment happens all at once, when a legal ruling or evacuation sends people scuttling. But mostly, it is haphazard, creeping, unplanned. People just go.

This always confuses me. If I were abandoning my home of my own volition, I'd take my possessions with me.
Not sure what you mean regarding pricing as we do have a pricing page. For authentication we do use a third party provider and perhaps you are right that we need convey trust a bit more on sign up flow.
The reality is that almost no one makes any good money in the food industry. For a lot of people in that industry, if they tried to find jobs that better aligned with their skills (except in food), they'd likely be better off. A lot of people take jobs in terrible places and get complacent, maybe far too complacent.

A healthy economy is one where money, people, skills, and intellectual property has high velocity, meaning people quickly reorient their productive capacity to where it's most useful.

Well, this would all be true if the UK wasn't going through a lost generation economically. Serves them right for Brexit!

Ironically, borsch is actually a famous Ukrainian soup and has about 20 ingredients (sometimes more, it depends on a region, village and family). Why one would reduce to only 4 ingredients and continue calling it borsch is beyond me.

Regarding cabbage, it is indeed the only ingredient of a different soup, called "schi", which (perhaps unsurpisingly) is of Russian origin.

> The presence of terrestrial microorganism within a sample of Ryugu underlines that microorganisms are the world's greatest colonizers and adept at circumventing contamination controls. The presence of microorganisms within space-returned samples, even those subject to stringent contamination controls is, therefore, not necessarily evidence of an extraterrestrial origin.

Basically that preventing terrestrial contamination of extraterrestrial samples is super tough, and in the specific case of Ryugu the study concludes that contamination did occur.

> I really fail to understand why "writing HTML mixed with JS" is okay for React, and mixing regex with what-not is okay for...like...everyone, but it would not be okay for so many ORM people to actually have properly bound SQL in-place. Really boggles me down.

There isn't anything that can change remotely that would break the local code.

ORMs being in charge of table structure and queries give them an overhead view that helps deal with changes like that. Not perfect by any means, since you have to change the ORM queries anyway, but it's a little bit better since the model definition provides an abstraction for it, and since the queries are in the local language there are refactoring tools to help find and do the changes.

> "writing HTML mixed with JS" is okay for React

There's a third piece to frontend: CSS. There are additional abstractions on top of it in React-world to help limit its scope, to help prevent similar "break something somewhere else" problems, such as CSS Modules.

I protest! It's not a "both sides" thing. It's an empirical observation, and in my experience quite a reliable one.

There are infinitely many facts, and the choice of which facts to select and how strongly to weigh them is not itself a fact, it's a choice made by humans. When those humans are busy advocating for a political position, you can be sure that this is what's dominating their choice. As I pointed out once before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25973366), it only takes a little self-honesty to notice oneself doing it.

or buy them, but obtain a pirated version to recover what's yours when they lock you out.
This is an anonymous blog, and the author conceals their identity, which is already an issue for me. Let's look at the alternatives to PGP that the blog recommends, I will paraphrase:

1) Sign software with sigstore.dev

The issue here is that you delegate trust to places like GitHub or other OIDC providers. You also have to trust Fulcio and their CAs. <https://docs.sigstore.dev/about/security/> for details. Maybe you don't want to do that, in part because you're not guaranteed that the service will remain free, or perhaps you're more serious about security than GitHub.

1-alt) Sign software with minisign.

Maybe I don't want to use Ed25519. Maybe I want to revoke the signatures. There's many issues one may have with minisign.

2) Signing git tags/commits

Advises to use SSH, no explanation why. Advises Ed25519, why not Ed448? The explanation to not use RSA is by linking to <https://blog.trailofbits.com/2019/07/08/fuck-rsa/>. I will only quote one thing from this article:

>RSA was an important milestone in the development of secure communications, but the last two decades of cryptographic research have rendered it obsolete.

You can't say it is obsolete when it is still in use. I'm not sure what the author(s) mean by "obsolete", but it is not true that RSA is obsolete. (If Ed25519 breaks but RSA doesn't, who will be obsolete?)

3) Sending files between computers

Here it recommends Magic Wormhole. That's shocking to me, I don't understand why it is recommended. Why not rsync? If you look at the 2016 presentation for Magic Wormhole <https://www.lothar.com/~warner/MagicWormhole-PyCon2016.pdf>, the pitch is that it is especially useful when the computers are unrelated. How often is that the case? Rsync is a much better solution for anyone who wants to transfer files between servers they have access to.

4) Encrypting Backups

Here they recommend tarsnap as "the usual recommendation", I've got to say, it's definitely not the usual recommendation.

5) Encrypting Application Data

They say to use Tink or libsodium. Tink has many implementations in each language, (how does that help security?) and libsodium doesn't support RSA, two things on top of my head that may be deal breakers.

6) Encrypting Files

They recommend age; wishful thinking as most people do not use age. In fact most people do not bother encrypting files, and it is not something that is done often. The author likes to talk about footguns, well there's certainly many footguns to file encryption. This is where the most analysis is on this blog article too, but this is a niche case.

7) Private Messaging

It recommends Signal. What about e-mail?

>(Unless you’re legally required to use PGP because of a government regulation… in which case, why do you care about my recommendations if you’re chained by the ankle to your government’s bad technology choices?)

It comes off as know-it-all.

Let me close with this: Cryptography is infamous for debates. It never ends, and many people have ended up with egg on their face for their claims. Tread carefully and don't rely on others too much!

I think they're not dumb and they already know it's extremely difficult to figure out which brand fits that criteria, if any, so it's not worth it because it's such a gamble.

"it's all about the money now"

Newsflash: It's always been about the money. I first went to Canary Wharf in 1995, a friend bought a small house there and it was a shitty place. I visited him again in 2001 and the place had changed "a lot". I ended up living in the same area for a few years around 2017, and CW has nothing from 'that' time.

As of right now, nobody makes LPSO alloys in commercial quantities. Fuji Light Metals has a pilot plant that does small-scale production of extruded strips and plates, but their customers are all researchers and R&D labs.

That said, we can extrapolate from mechanical properties. If we assume that both materials are tubes with the same wall thickness, and that we're looking at T300 carbon fiber (by far the most common type) in epoxy resin vs a standard research grade of LPSO, then:

- The CF will be stiffer

- The CF composite will be slightly less dense (1.6 gm/cc vs. ~1.8 gm/cc)

- The CF composite will have a slightly higher tensile strength, but the difference is very small and could be nonexistent in practice.

- LPSO-Mg will be more damage tolerant -- with better resistance to abrasion and better capacity to flex in a recoverable way in response to extreme mechanical stress. (Cast Mg alloys are undoubtedly worse than CF, but LPSO-Mg is a lot more like an aluminum alloy in this respect. It's a pretty ductile material.)

- LPSO-Mg should in principle be cheaper, though this is likely not going to be the case for a long time.

- LPSO-Mg will have better mechanical damping properties, so might transmit fewer vibrations to the rider.
