I've figured out that every online group, subgroup, subreddit, whatever, has its own dogma aka "religion." Very often the religion diverges from the stated goals and bylaws. If I like their religion, I stay. If I don't,

You mention "legacy" C++. Just so you know, I'm told that modern-day C++ is completely different, looks like a different language than Stroustrup's creation.

> The casual racial stereotyping is where you lose me. Nothing "casual" about it. Very deliberate. White people completely unwilling to see blatant racism (e.g. in hiring) when it stares them in the face.

Note that this ban appears to be only for faculty hiring. Most MIT employees are staff. I don't know if MIT requires DEI statements from staff hires, but I know other universities do, e.g. UC Berkeley, where I used to work. And yet,

I did a deep dive on this recently. (Well, it's pretty shallow once you look.) Huy Fong isn't the "original" Sriracha after all. The sauce originates in the town of Si Racha, Thailand, where Huy Fong's founder was b

The same is not true for running shoes.

The first time I ran barefoot, I was older than you probably are now. (Since this is HN.) I understand your skepticism, since I used to be the same way. What I've learned is this: good running form isn't "pogo stick," it

The materials in running shoes cost under $10, and many people seem to do just fine without them. E.g. I have run two marathons barefoot with fewer problems than when I ran shod. And I'm not genetically blessed. It's impossible to

I used to work for Sun. As for Cray, did you know that Cray used AMD chips on many of their supercomputers? I bet you didn't. As for the rest of it, you think that forcing arch rivals to collaborate on their key products, in other word

The question was about (hardware) "devices," which tend to be limited by chip technology, not browsers. Are you suggesting that Arm and AMD and Apple and Huawei and Intel and Nvidia and Samsung are all colluding to stay at roughly

Star Trek shows me lots of devices we'd like. What's your evidence that the device you want EXISTS TODAY (or could exist, given existing technology), but Apple and Google or whoever are gatekeeping it? E.g. do you think Apple coul

Capitalism gets people to buy tons of unnecessary and unhealthy crap, that's for sure. (Like $150 running shoes, and sugary drinks and junk food that support the diabetes industry.) But you're claiming something different. What&#x

Tony Hsieh tried that (and even wrote a book). He made a lot of money, but overall it did not go well for him.

I'll emphasize it again: dietary fat is essential. Dietary carbs are not. You can live forever on zero carbs. Therefore it's extremely unlikely that carbs are more "valuable" than fat. Whether "extra calories"

I think it's telling that rather than address any of Nina's very detailed analysis, you launch an ad hominem attack. Also, by your logic, almost all journalists (except those who happen to have a PhD in the relevant science) shoul

It's a meta-analysis. It's not a controlled study like I asked. And if you go back and dig through the original studies, not a single one of them is a controlled study. Not one. They always require people to fill out cards of what

The vegan-funded research (that gets published) always finds that a "plant-based diet" is healthier. Check out the Stanford twin study. Check out the rebuttals. Nina Teicholz is a good place to start for that. (Obviously you don&#

That's fine. Then show me controlled studies on bacon being bad. I have no problem with that. That's what science should be. Don't lump bacon in with "processed foods" like all that sugary crap.

What I've observed is that nutrition, including nutrition research, has become as religious - meaning, following faith rather than data - as religion itself. A few things I notice: - "Processed foods" are lumped together as i
