I didn't realise you weren't the guy from earlier, so fine.

I am not shrieking, I'm cool a cucumber. In general I try to avoid this subject because of how divisive it is and because the loudest voice in the room is the one decrying the subject despite all evidence to the contrary.

It is absolutely reddit-tier to say "grass isn't actually green because these two people say so" only in this case the grass is behind an abstraction that requires a bit of minor gathering and analysis, yes my own analysis counts for nothing I am aware, but I encourage everyone to do it themselves, the data are free and ubiquitous.

Do I see myself as HN? no, but evidently the original guy sees himself pushing back against the tide of uninformed HNites without realising what that actually implies.

Not nonsense, not debunked, not shrieking. Muddying the waters? maybe but I'm fed up of this fucking stupid shit popping up every other week on here and having sandal-clad neo hippies and anti-science right-wing fruitcakes sperging out.

Politics has nothing to do with it, it's about data.

I'm right of centre and think RFK is a fruitcake, I have no idea how the guy above is aligned politically but I do know he doesn't know wtf he's talking about.

no it is an identical plot on the graph, not an overstatement at all.

The standard of living for the median worker has improved significantly in forty years let alone two hundred, lifestyle inflation is definitely rapid as you would expect with progress, wage growth has outpaced inflation for everyone but public sector workers.

Bad as things may seem now, we are all richer than ever before.

The more someone’s diet falls on the ultra-processed end of the spectrum and the less they eat of unprocessed foods, the higher the rate of health problems.

False, based publicly available data, even data pushed by the UPF cultists there is no correlation between UPF consumption and 'Life Expectancy at Birth', 'CVD Deaths per 100K', 'Heart Disease Deaths per 100K', 'Cancer Incidence Rate per 100K', 'Stroke deaths per 100k', '%age Population with High Blood Pressure ISCED standard', 'Mean Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHG)', or shockingly 'BMI'.

In fact, in some cases there is an anti correlation such as life expectancy, now it would be absurd to suggest UPFs increase longevity of course but the reality is richer countries eat more processed foods and richer countries live longer.

as I said if you remove china from the data the trend is identical.

But regarding China specifically it has been the gradual transition to a more market led economy.

or at least not in the selfish sense

Wasn't a requirement, self interest doesn't imply malice.

capitalism only allows selfish self-interest to flourish

How's that then?

Capitalism is a form of authoritarianism in that it really only serves a few

You're cooked, market liberalisation has led the world from >80% in poverty to <10% in under 40 years, even removing huge entities like China.

I stopped using Perl in the early 00s but I've heard rumours, how bad was it?

because you like the drama? It is quite entertaining but so tiresome.

Drama driven development is the truly modern paradigm, and if you think it's limited to Python you're blind.

It's not community, it's meddling, toil, and folly.

Bread can be rationed but cannot be hoarded.

there is room, bear in mind such a device need only provide minute advantage for it to be significant.

But the substance of the post appears to be word-salad and I've already had my five-a-day.

My god El Reg has fallen off, that was the worst article I have ever read.

Game looks really fun but I would love it if it required the player to configure an agent driver, then you could have global leaderboards etc.

it's funny watching cooks and amateur chefs come to the same conclusion that professionals reached over one hundred years ago, I assume nobody asked, but with steak for example you use resting in a controlled environment to ride the temperature up to chosen doneness, nobody has ever (to my knowledge) thought it to do with preserving juices.

and another delicious L for James Lopez.

Being a pilot is an epistrocratic privilege and they should welcome the input of the less advantaged.

it is truly excruciating

DRS directly dictates track behaviour, and the rules around track position have effectively killed the idea that "If you no longer go for a gap which exists you are no longer a racing driver", because doing so would run counter to the rules.

It even feels like you have to wait a few days post race for the FIA to decide who actually won.

Whenever I watch WEC or Rally I'm reminded of what real racing is, the comparatively light touch the FIA have with those series has led to much more exciting sports.

it has a few dings on the frame and I'm not especially attached to the form factor more significantly I am addicted to it and need a viable alternative.

I'm still using a 13 mini, it's fractionally too large, I think the original SE is perfection.

Regardless, battery life is horrendous now, and it's starting to lag and fail so when the new ultra watch is released I'm going to replace my phone with it.

hash collision

lots of rich people died during the war too, noblesse oblige saw to that.

async scales better than sync in this context as on larger teams you might need a queue.

isn't this a tyramine/noradrenaline thing, rather than a gut microbiome thing?

I think it's definitely geek-bait, I wore one for a few months and would say that unless you have diabetes/pre-diabetes it's a waste of time.

as someone who eats relatively healthily but has no problem consuming processed foods (but tends to avoid excessive sugar), when I wore a cgm out of curiosity it was very clear that such a device offered me nothing, as a non-diabetic, non-pre-diabetic person the data showed that the body responds in line with input never exceeding tolerances.

It was impressive just how uninsightful it was, I love quantifying my workouts, my nutrient intake, etc, but the cgm added absolutely nothing.

I have kids and this post is the first I'm even hearing about it, but you're right I'm not rushing to the cinema, remortgaging my house only to surround myself with feral kids, I'll wait until it hits Disney Primeflix.

Musk said it himself "that's $100mm every time but it's the taxpayer footing the bill and they should get value for money" (paraphrasing), I can't remember the show but it may have been his Rogan appearance.

Sorry to burst your bubble on that, even if it is just carrying Starlink satellites it's still at public expense, not limited to the rocket itself but the infrastructure, and oversight from third parties.

it doesn't help that the craft of writing is being forgotten, even if you don't read you can see the same issue in film and television.

If you spend your own money sure why not, I couldn't agree more, but it's the taxpayer's.

This very same individual was until recently trying to highlight frivolous government spending, surprisingly coming up short, obviously it'd be very cynical of me to suggest even a hint of hypocrisy let alone a conflict of interest so I'll leave it.
