   I searched for "CQRS" in both the HN thread that I linked and the article that that linked, and the only mention I could find was this: > Companies burned hundreds of thousands of engineer-hours migrating from monoliths to mi

   Processed/refined sugar for sure. But our ancestors in many parts of the world would have had plenty of access to fructose and other natural sugars, which can certainly cause tooth decay.

   Yeah, some US (and British and other) businesses had dealings with the Nazis as documented on Wikipedia [0], and some industry titans admired Hitler. I agree that there are parallels with today's tech authoritarianism. I'm not con

   At this point we're suggesting that we shouldn't implement some guidelines because there exist developers who will naively take it to extremes and stubbornly refuse to budge. Those developers will be an issue practically independe

    Personal training sessions with experienced staff at my David Lloyds in London are around £50-60 for 45 minutes. That's entry-level cost for therapy, which can easily go north of £100 per hour around here. I reckon the reason people us

    By "personal trainer" I just mean someone that you pay for a training session 1-3x per week. It's a comparable expense to therapy (depending on qualifications etc...).

    Thiel is probably the most obvious example, being explicitly anti-democracy and pro-authoritarian. Musk is also known for endorsing fringe far-right views and activists. I wouldn't be surprised if there are many more such attitudes in

    Wait, do you have kids yourself? Childcare days with my 2yo are much more draining than most work days. It's never a case of just sitting and watching.

    The point I'm making is that we don't see people dying from malnutrition because they generally end up in hospital rather than dying. However, I also just saw that the article I linked excludes children below the age of 18. This a

    I suspect that this is really about liability. When AWS goes down you can just throw up your hands, everyone's in the same boat. If your own server goes down you worry that your customers doubt your competence. It's actually kinda

    Yeah. Since the comment mentioned grains specifically, I wondered if it was coming from a "paleo" diet perspective.

    I can understand that. I guess what makes me uncomfortable is the implication that these are novel insights obtained through the power of the rationalist lens.

    I mean I agree that that's not the perceived thrust of the article. However, parental neglect is largely a product of the environment. Parents rarely just naturally don't care for their children. There's usually other factors

    So? One million kids going without food, shelter or warmth is scandalous. It's scandalous if it's because welfare payments are too low. It's scandalous if it's because we're failing to identify neglect. Scandalous e

    In the UK at least, we don't generally know how much money people make, nor how much of it goes to debts or other dependencies. Income below £10k does not have to be declared.
