I am surprised to hear that sugar consumption peaked years ago. I was under the impression that when accounting for sugar added to products, it has continued to increase. As for obesity, I blame the weaponization of the sugar/salt&#x2F

Planting floating seaweed forests seems like a more feasible thing to do at scale. It might even help with marine ecology.

In America, I imagine this is why people promote Nationalism -- to build a sense of the American Tribe. This seemed to work especially well while we had the Soviet bogeyman. Today, attempts to describe others as 'not real Americans&#

I love the quality of the keyboards in these old machines. Is there anyone out there building all-in-one keyboard computers w/ Model M-quality keyboards?

Loads of people criticized Silver for not having "predicted" Trump's electoral victory. I imagine Silver's language was trying to hand-hold people to an understanding that even 20% probability events happen 1 out of 5 t

I don't have a concrete proposal. I was just trying to illustrate that there may be a model inbetween total and zero regulation. The line of demarcation could be storing personally identifying information, interfacing with advertising

FINRA is a non-government, industry driven (self-regulatory) organization for the US stock market. It exists to discourage fraud and bad practices without requiring a heavy hand of government. The SEC mostly focuses on lawbreakers. Inter

This is very cool. I've been playing Nanochess since it popped up on HN ( http://www.nanochess.org/chess.html ). He has a similarly sized and restricted version, but remarkably includes the full rule set and competitiv

For some people, it's probably a happy reminder of a time of growth, anticipating a new chapter in their lives.

Until it costs $1 millions for everyone, then the system breaks down. Every actor is trying to make as much as they can before the music stops.

If you're going to compare performance of C++ maps, you may want to consider std::unordered_map, which is a hash map implementation vs std::map's red-black tree.

The L1 repeaters along the path add very little latency and require no real presence.

There used to be less sensitivity to the receive-side time by exchanges, but in many cases there had been an emphasis on fairness and high res timestamps (they sell colocation services). Now, many times the first through the post wins. Th

I think it is healthy to feel regret at having caused hurt, even if you consider it collateral damage related to your own personal growth.

Even in those cases, you can learn empathy and perspective. Introspection, understanding what you were feeling and why you acted/reacted the way you did is opportunity for growth. A lot of times, you can trace it back to a root insecu

This is a subtle, but underappreciated sentiment. Hindsight is 20/20. Beating yourself up when things don't go your way is a destructive form of regret. Learning from your decisions to get better at forward prediction is more c

Managing risk is important for business owners. It is extremely expensive to remove a tenant who stops paying. For a small landlord, it can be devastating. Also, for an employer that has a significant investment of capital in physical inv

How much sleep are you getting? I found that was the case for me, but once I started sleeping and exercising more regularly, I feel like that dissipated.

Is there a virtualization app/service that can sit between the OS and an app that allows me to see or restrict what an application actually sees? For example I may allow it to see my public contacts rather than all contacts. Or, I

I think my comment to the parent post also applies here. I love to learn things and home repair is no exception. A lot of it is a skill that requires practice, though. Even if I don't end up doing the work (and I try to), at least I

The problem is that the experts have been priced out of the market and have been replaced with salespeople.

It is a business, so I imagine the fairness goal ultimately serves that end. Expanding the rating system probably has to be driven by demand and there has to be a cost/benefit trade-off. Can anyone comment on the comparability of Mic

Your story reminds me of a story about heroin addicts in Russia who started taking krokodil (a homemade version that causes slow body death and decay). Addicts retreat into their addictions to hide from their problems. It gets harder and

Noticing differences in people is natural and starts at an early age. I observed this in my own children. However, what we identify as racism and sexism is learned behavior. It emanates from stereotyping, prejudice, and bias.

I've also been interested in this project. Several years ago, I was toying with the idea of building a Kafka-compatible broker implementation with it. Although I didn't get very far, it's a very powerful and well-designed f

I think this was probably in the early 80s. It could have been a replacement. I wonder if an Asteroids cabinet was converted over.
