It 100% absolutely is, you're just too deep to recognize it.

It's what's happened across Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook over the past decade. You've all built platforms intended for social discourse but instead built extremely brittle systems subject to gamified manipulation by showing people which opinions reward and punish them. And those are then manipulated at-large by outside groups responsible for elevating a particular way of thinking about a given topic.

Conversations do not need a algorithmic popularity mechanism.

I wonder if that is at all possible. Could there be someone alive today who has no blood kin ( father, mother, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins 1st, 2nd, etc )?
There are certainly theoretical reasons why it might help. There is definitely a link between AD and blood sugar. Having diabetes doubles your risk of AD. The brain regions hit first and worst in AD have the highest levels of aerobic glycolysis (in which cells take glucose only through glycolysis and not oxidative phosphorylation, despite the presence of adequate oxygen).

To the extent a keto diet can reduce resting blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, there is good reason to think it is a candidate to slow AD.

Assuming that it's always high noon when you're talking about solar power plants is more than a little rough for napkin math.

I give up. The wattage of a power plant is its benefit per unit time, and bird deaths are a detriment not per unit time.

Show HN: I indexed 10M Shopify products to build an API
Hi HN! I'm Param, founder of Agora.

The Agora API enables developers to search, purchase, and track orders for 10 million products sold on 25,000 Shopify and WooCommerce stores. You can search by text, image, URL, or location to find products.

Every Shopify store has several public JSON files that are available on the same URL route. The file for general store information appears at [Base URL]/meta.json. Product information appears at [Base URL]/products.json. Variant and inventory information appears at [Base URL]/[Product Route].js.

Every WooCommerce store has a similar file that has a different data structure. The store information appears at [Base URL]/wp-json/. Product information appears at [Base URL]/wp-json/wc/v1/products.

I bought a list of e-commerce stores and built a crawler to index the store and product information. The crawler runs every day to add, edit, and delete product information for all stores. When you retrieve product details via the API, we dynamically check the price, stock, and variant information. This ensures that we only sell products that are currently available, at the real-time price.

We're starting with 25,000 Shopify and WooCommerce stores and will soon have products from other e-commerce platforms and marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, Wix, Squarespace, and more.

I'd love your feedback!

> They have overwhelming support for every major issue: abortion, gun control, corporate taxes, HNI taxes, healthcare, social security, climate, gay rights. All of them. And yet they lose.

The dems spent this last election cycle distancing, downplaying, and reversing each of these issues. Is it any wonder why they are losing? Rather than play to their strengths and party positions they endlessly and relentlessly try and shift right.

Do dems actually support abortion rights? Kamala didn't really campaign on that. How about gun control? Kamala was all too happy to talk about how she's a proud gun owner.

The Kamala/Biden campaign took painstaking measures to try and quash every single one of these issues rather than centering it in the discussion. Instead, they wasted an entire campaign talking about how much Liz Cheney loves them.

Even now, Schumer is saying "let's just sit back and let people watch what's happening" rather than pressing his advantage and Jeffries is saying "It's not great, but God is in control".

Dems desperately hate their base. That's why they lose. They simply transparent in the fact that the only thing that matters is corporate campaign contributions.

Mostly people who grew up in too pristine of a world, who think that everything should be easy following established procedures, that anything being difficult is a sign of a medical issue rather than just... a difficult task.

You cannot force any given person to care about any given topic as much as you want them to or think they should. Or you can, but then you no longer know who that person really is, and your concept of them becomes inaccurate, setting you up for surprise when that person isn't what you wanted them to be.

Note that Z[i] is called the "Gaussian integers" -- you don't have to keep repeating "the ring of integers with i adjoined"!

Also I should point out that in general Z[r] for some r (note obviously r doesn't have to be real!) will contain more than just a+br; it'd only be just a+br if r satisfies a monic quadratic over Z.

(I also have to nitpick and point out that these results apply to rings of integers -- actually more broadly -- but not to the fields. Yeah unfortunately mathematicians often abuse the language here, using "number field" to refer to the ring, and it's annoying. But Hilbert's 10th for Q remains open to my knowledge.)

They have other controls. For example, a game does not need to know your precise battery level (respect the low power mode setting), or precise screen brightness (respect the dark mode setting), or precise storage or volume (appropriate is sufficient). They really don't need to know if you're using wired or bluetooth headphones, and can request a specific entitlement if they have a valid use for that information.

99% of games do not need precise location (some exceptions are pokemon go, etc). They can request and receive an entitlement.

No, it is not correct.

I often find primary sources of news more interesting than analysis that mostly summarizes widely-known facts. Nothing against, say, The Verge -- but their article about this will probably just summarize things folks here already know about the program. I also don't think, for example, linking here is a better experience for HN: https://www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-irs-easy-filing/ or the right wing version: https://nypost.com/2025/02/03/us-news/elon-musk-claims-far-l...

And with traditional news outlets, sometimes they make it impossible to find the actual primary source because they refuse to hyperlink things (though the Verge is good about that).

Then again, if the entire front page were X links, I'd find that less interesting than more thoughtful, longer analysis. So I agree and disagree.

> many adolescents who start as trans desist and come out as gay

Citation needed. The actual hard evidence with respect to regret rates with GICs are very clear that "desistance", using your word for it, is vanishingly low (less than 1-2%, c.f. knee surgery with 20-30%), and that lack of social acceptance is a huge factor in deciding if someone desists or not — the less social acceptance, the less likely someone is to be able to comfortably transition socially, the more likely they're going to "desist".

In other words — not only is the "desistance rate" for treatment vanishingly small, there isn't a straight line between "desisting" and "not being transgender", and one of the most recurring explanations for "desistance" in the study groups basically boiled down to "society has bullied them into hiding themselves".

> people on opposite sex hormones start developing behaviours and preferences of the opposite sex

Citation needed. In the 70s - 80s there were experiments to try and treat both intersex people and transgender people by giving them the "correct" (cis) hormone, and the subjects involved found it so intolerable they committed suicide.

> body dysmorphia results in distorted perceptions of one's own body

Correct! And given that you know this, you should also know that treatments for body dysphoria do not work for gender dysphoria, and that for almost 100 years now, the only effective treatment for gender dysphoria has been transitioning.

>> You think you know how to build the new version, but you really don't. Years of improvements of the old version, years of bug fixes, years of business knowledge are below the surface.

This point has always baffled me. The old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." but then in the past decades of everybody jumping on the JS frameworks and whole heartedly believing by moving to "X" framework, they can eliminate all the issues you have or had with the older version.

In my own experience, it never goes this way. Oh sure, do you want to be working in legacy code that's 10 plus years old? Probably not, but the idea that every new shiny thing has all the answers to all the issues you had before is a sure fire way to get a lot of people fired for overpromising and underdelivering.

True, but that works both ways. "Surely everyone else gets distracted this much".

> the bystander effect in open source is very real.

Outside of open source, it was a NYT excuse for the NYPD failing to save Kitty Genovese. The number of witnesses was greatly exaggerated, and the police were called at least once.

I don't think you mean to refer to the bystander effect, because the bystander effect says that the likelihood of intervention goes down as the number of bystanders goes up. You don't seem to be arguing that people are less likely to look at the source because the source is available to more people. More just claiming that people don't look at the source as often as you would like? That open source isn't always perfectly bug and backdoor free? Because I don't know if:

Has been claimed about many large pieces of software, proprietary or not.

How do they know the internal microcode structure of instructions or even format?
I don’t think there are many people who drop money on a new receiver every time a new standard comes out. The idea here is that when the time comes to upgrade—say, they update their TV to support Dolby Vision that requires latest HDMI standard—chances are they wouldn’t have to because the standard would already be supported.

Logic and the history of open-source software (OSS) also dictate that as a project gains popularity, more people tend to contribute, so hopefully, new standards would be adopted more quickly.

It's a good question, though!
