It's an interesting discussion. I've chosen to exist within the confines of societies laws. Prison is itself a different world, and I don't claim to know very much about it or the mindset behind the different types of criminals that exist inside the prison system. In layman's terms, I hear about violent offenders, and non-violent.
The US system also offers capital punishment which is another extreme and final judgement. Possibly, more 'natural' than the bureaucratic system. The country I live in does not use such a punishment system.
Has anyone conducted studies to see if these prison incentives are at work? I would suspect comparing national systems is a pretty common practice in public policy academia. I've definitely seen fairly sensational articles on privatization of US prisons leading to corruption in the justice system.
I'm not sure if hackernews can have these types of discussions without massive downvoting from one side or the other.
So if you eat less, your body eventually adjusts so that you're satiated earlier. People say that your "stomach shrinks" when you eat less, but it's really just your appetite that does.
When you eat a meal you should also try eating slower, or having more frequent but smaller portions. Have you ever noticed that you're still hungry after a meal, but after a few minutes it goes away? That's because it takes ~20 minutes for you to feel full after eating.
There's also appetite suppressants (both naturally found in certain foods + prescription drugs), that can work wonders for weight loss.
Also, if you ever try fasting, usually your appetite is strongest for the first 2 days, then falls off. With natural fat stores + an intake of water/electrolytes/potassium/magnesium, you can fast for many days at a time without feeling hungry.

I have heard anecdotes from people who say this is true and anecdotes from people who say it is very much not true. It is certainly more comforting to believe that people who've gained weight aren't permanently doomed to hunger, but I'd love if anyone could drop a supporting source.
Getting to level 99 or playing hardcore mode isn’t the objective for 99+% of players.
Diablo 2 is a fairly forgiving and moderately casual game imo. Most builds require only one skill for damage, and respeccing and how easy it is to get a character rushed means it’s easy to experiment or fix builds.
I played D2 pretty obsessively for a few years during my teens and never bothered going higher than 92, rolling new builds was always more fun than endless baal runs for me.
We’re looking for someone exceptional to scale our Go backend.
We’re a bit of Minecraft, Discord, and creative chaos thrown together.
We’re a small team of four with 50 years of combined experience and 7-figures of combined losses in social and crypto. We’ve shipped world-class products at Houseparty, Instagram, Facebook, YikYak, and other top social companies.
We get excited about working with people that look a lot like entrepreneurs: dependable, relentless, and obsessed with the community and product we’re building. We want to be your life-long supporters from your time at Sonar and beyond.
Sonar is built on Go, supports smart contracts, and looks a lot like a game, so it’ll be helpful if you have experience with these.
Most of us work out of a brick and timber loft in South Park, San Francisco but are happy to work with anyone across the globe.
European versions have this rule [1]. I wasn't aware that the US version allowed adjacent ship placement until I bought a commercial version for my kid last Christmas and started looking into strategies.
Yes. Bitcoin can be validated with with regular hardware, thus full nodes are cheap and ubiquitous and results in a system that's highly decentralized. Even if a 51% were to hypothetically happen with miners, the full nodes will stop it.
Ethereum and many others with massive blocks cannot be validated with regular hardware as there's too much computational power/storage involved. The majority of Ethereum nodes are by 3rd party services which use cloud services such as AWS. Additionally, essential services such as Infura which the majority of apps rely on are basically entirely centralized.
You can sync a full ethereum node (all blocks with all transactions and fully verified current state) on a rasberry pi with a 1TB ssd. With 3TB of ssd space, you can even have an archival node (the above, but with all the state history changes cleanly indexed by account, which is only really needed if you want to run a block explorer).
The issue for ethereum flat out isn't the hardware requirements, its laziness. Infura, Alchemy, et al make a very convenient shortcut for impatient folks and that is why they get used. The good news is that there is a ton of real development going into light clients that can trustlessly get and interact with with the current state of the chain within a few minutes of launching and can even run within a web browser.
If I refuse to trade with the world, the world becomes infinitesimally poorer, but I become radically poorer. Russia is relatively small compared to the global economy and will suffer much more than everyone else.
