It's a vague aphorism from a guy who went nuts with no added context to explain why it's relevant here. It's not offensive so much as low-quality and unrelated to the link.

People are upset when part of the commons is lost. Open source software available under a license with few restrictions is part of the commons, and any added restriction is a loss. I think it's important to understand that Redis as a w

I very much agree with this. For an integration where you have control over both ends of the pipeline, CSV is not optimal unless there's existing work to build on, and even then it's a legacy choice. Parquet and Avro are widely su

A lot of "these people" are passionate about both. Long-term thinking shows the appeal in both renewable infrastructure on earth and space exploration. Maybe sometime on the far future someone will say we evolved for tens of thous

Does it go down for the people committing crimes? Prisons are full of inmates with poor impulse control, and/or who aren't capable of understanding risk. I understand that for the average HN reader the known presence of guns in an

What I meant was that the general population can't use those vaccines anyway, unless they do the synthesis on their own or get into a clinical trial, so it's disingenuous to talk about them in the context of public safety. Making

There aren't any vaccines I can think of that made it past clinical trials and were a net negative. There are possibly some cases where they were a net negative for a subgroup of the population or where a batch was contaminated, but I

That's close to how I do osso bucco, yeah: finely diced vegetables that go in at the start and will become part of the sauce, plus more attractive larger chunks when there's about 40 minutes left. Soggy fibre is a good thing in th

Honestly, yeah, as far as I'm concerned you've got a right to anything I leave behind. Maybe with some caveats like "...once everyone who knew me is dead" or "...excluding the obvious things like passwords and priva

This is in fact a study on humans with an abstract that happens to start with "In mice," which is the exact opposite of how this normally works.

Interesting paper. Anyone know if there's a hint of a conflict of interest between the authors and Prolon? (Prolon being the FMD package they used)

That's funny, because I thought it sounded a little too romantic in the other direction. Perhaps Australian family farms aren't old enough to count as peasantry, but from what I remember the men and women who worked then spent les

This is a bit of a misdirection because it equates jobs, which are work done for someone else, with all work. I am sure that the majority of people would still do something that can be considered work in a world without jobs. It's obvi

Note that even though Opiliones aren't spiders, Pholcidae - which are also commonly called daddy longlegs - definitely are. This article is about Opiliones.

What do you mean there's no evidence? Consider e.g. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2466/pr0.1995.76.1.4... : > children's birth order and family size are consistently related to styles of

Perhaps it's the result of small families for completely different reasons than you posit. On the first child, parents are still learning. They're risk conscious and worry about everything. On the second child, they've picked

People tend to cut the lower limbs off trees in parks for the sake of appearances, and to leave shady areas of lawn underneath. If you want to help kids climb your own trees then you can leave a foot or two of each branch as a handhold and

It's almost impossible to run a good UV exposure association study because going outside correlates with health. Everything clever you can do to get around that (UV-B areas are what the article chooses) runs into issues with introducin

The thing I find unconvincing about zombie movies is that the zombies are running around powered by human physiology for weeks in the middle of winter and yet their numbers are inexhaustible and they can get through security doors. It seems

BMI is wrong, but unfortunately it's wrong because it overestimates the number of healthy people. See https://www.researchgate.net/figure/BMI-versus-body-fat-perc... from a study of the Greek population and note h

A week is difficult because I don't track everything, but today for lunch I had about 200g (50kcal) cabbage, 230g potatoes (120kcal), and 110g carrots (40kcal) as with 140g of corned beef (350kcal). No added fat other than the meat, no

Hang on, you don't need infinite money if you've got a sampling rate, do you? Drop the sampling rate (mentioned in the article: they do use sampling) from 0.01 to 0.001 and you've reduced the data ingress by a factor of ten
