The implication that a "good" farmer should not be able to afford a car makes your statement about being pro-small farmers seem disingenuous. While I've read similar comments a few times recently, the "but" is alway

Poor amino-acid composition is a major problem with non-animal protein sources. Every time we think we can "cheat" nutrition by reducing nutritional value to a small set of cherry-picked nutrients, we find that it leads to deficie

The <30 category is a whopping 30% and more relevant to the subject. The difference in "LGB" categories can be explained by the fact that women are an order of magnitude more likely to self-report as bisexual than men.

I don't know how accurate this is, but recent statistics show that far more men self-report as single compared to women in the US, by as much as tens of percentage points if I recall.

The amount of people I know in their mid-20s who are (relatively) well-adjusted and successful and can't find a partner is astounding. Being very introverted and with a low sex drive, the current dating landscape seems insurmountable.

Yeah, it's mostly wishful thinking. The primary audience for records is not audiophiles, it's collectors who often don't even own a record player putting them up on display. Unless an artist/mastering engineer has a part

Visual Studio 5-10 years ago with C#/.NET Intellisense was a great experience and high performance. I have yet to replicate that in the bloated Electron IDEs these days, there are still constant issues with autocompletion and navigatio

I don't know how these myths keep getting regurgitated to this day, but plenty of people lived to old age back when life expectancy was low due to high infant mortality. People in blue zones also ate meat regularly despite some claims

The 8080 instruction set opcodes have logical bit patterns, so you can identify the operation and operands through bit masking instead of requiring a huge LUT. Beyond that you can simplify a lot by sacrificing timing accuracy.

Look, accessibility* is great and important to many people, and if you can afford to prioritize it early on in your product development, that's great - but it is not productive to treat commercial products like critical infrastructure,

Metformin has been under scrutiny in recent years, several big studies failed to reproduce, and I'm pretty sure the consensus right now is that it's ineffective. NAD precursors are going through the same thing right now as far as

I recall him saying he wouldn't recommend people younger than about 40 take mTOR inhibitors too, worth noting for young longevity enthusiasts. As I understand mTOR activation/inhibition is a tradeoff between promoting and inhibiti

Not very interesting. These are all very popular, Americanocentric, and "mass appeal" shows, nothing that indicates specificity in recommendations. Which is in line with expectations for GPT-3.5/4.

I'm not saying you shouldn't view mainstream media with suspicion anymore, but coverage is definitely more balanced than it used to be (not everywhere, but in some of the traditionally trustworthy publications like the New York Ti

This article is really not helping by labeling something like half of the US as bigots. I actually believe that mainstream media is more balanced nowadays compared to a few years ago. I think that they've caught on to the fact that tru

If I were attempting to create a less "captured" Wikipedia alternative that's what I would do - start from there and try to keep it synchronized while hacking at it slowly, instead of taking a from-scratch approach.

It will be interesting to see if this project ends up being seen as a success or a failure as things evolve, hopefully it inspires zoning reforms if it works out. I expected the article to be race-baity because of the gross comments here bu

I see what you mean and how that ties into Barbie, although this worldview is definitely rooted in neomarxist revisionism. But I don't have the time and energy to derail this any further so I'll leave it at that.

Nah, I don't think so. Every time I've seen something criticized or praised for its "entertainment value" it's been code for less challenging, simpler, easier to watch. It's fine if you like that, but you can&#

Now America was fascist and authoritarian in the mid-post WWII era?? Are you guys competing for biggest contrarian or did I accidentally step into a neomarxist forum?

Calling Barbie a better movie because it's easier to watch is something I didn't expect to witness on HN.

I doubt that's true unless the degree is extreme. Humans evolved with "disordered eating" and fasting is well-researched.

Poor people's parents don't have the money to bring them to vacations, enlist a violin teacher or drive them to baseball on the weekends, so clearly they have more time to allocate to studying and thus are advantaged. Conclusion:

More like "Soviet-style propaganda ads". The use of terms like mis/dis/mal-information is simply the contemporary mechanism through which propaganda is peddled.
