Anecdotal evidence says this is a valid theory. I personally caused a shingles infection when I was breaking up intramuscular tissues with a lacrosse ball. As well, most massage therapists will have stories about “toxins coming to the surface” for clients after being worked on (especially in first-time clients) (Source: I’ve talked to about a dozen massage therapists about this).

I’ve been working on a SaaS tool that combats link rot for writers.

The service periodically checks the original sources and redirects broken links to the archive.org snapshot automatically when the sources fail. Any redirection can be customized or fall back to an author’s website.

The usual problem is that anything that is supposed to prevent link rot itself is prone to rot.

Which is why my SaaS solution has a self-off boarding function: writers can use custom domains for their links and export a fully functional nginx and Apache-based redirection config file at any time. I also have a contingency plan for the next decade, which includes setting up such a low cost redirection server myself.

I needed this service for my own books. So I just built it. Dogfooding is what I recommend to Bootstrapper’s anyway, so I am my first customer.

It’s highly reliable (it’s a 301 forwarding system after all) and very cheap to host.

What to say, very solid work
There are a number of ways to move to Europe, or any other country for that matter. Your exact options depend dramatically on your specific situation. Things like which passport(s) do you hold, specific skillset, etc.

In general, my advice to folks looking to move to another country is "simply" to get a job in that country with a company that will sponsor your visa.

Now, one thing that I noticed over the years (and the reason for the double quotes around "simply") is that getting a job overseas is often times not trivial.

Many companies will be reluctant to even consider your application. Maybe they are afraid that you will get home-sick and leave after 6 months, maybe they do not want to deal with visa paperwork, maybe they see your hire as too expensive, maybe they are afraid of language issues... whatever the reason might be.

Whenever I changed continent, I have had most luck applying to companies with a large, mostly international workforce. These companies routinely hire people from all over the world and are used to the associated bureaucracy. They usually have immigration lawyers, which helps. In some cases, they might even have agreements with their host country that will make your visa paperwork much easier and much faster. In some cases there will be no need for a visa at all. Examples include universities and research institutions, large multinationals, NGOs etc.

You say that you do not have a degree. This might matter more in Europe than in other parts of the world but it will not make it impossible for you to find a job. I assume that you already checked out the monthly "Who's Hiring" threads and identified companies sponsoring visas. That would already be a good start.

Hope this was somewhat useful :-)
Two words: Public. Sector.

At least here in the UK (think NHS back office / government jobs) I can tell you, it's sort of unbelievable how little attention anyone pays to work getting done. At times I seriously looked around me, thinking "wow, nobody does anything, nobody admits it, and we are all in on it".

Fair word of warning, I didn't go into it wanting little work. I went into it wanting to accomplish something / get some work done and it nearly drove me crazy over the year I spent there.

There were many weeks, where by the end of the week I wasn't sure whether I had done any work at all. There will be meetings, which will take up most of your time, but outside of that, by the end, when I had given up on trying to achieve anything, I literally sat there coding all day and nobody batted an eye.

There was some remote working ability, which by now, thanks to COVID, will probably have increased a fair bit.
> Sales tax is a joke to the very rich and powerful. A guy with million dollars does not have to spend 1000x more on products and services than a regular guy with 1000 dollars. He uses that big money in different ways that do not get taxed by the sales tax.

They literally do spend a lot more of products and services than a regular Joe on the street, a sales tax would be taken at the point of purchase. Flash cars, fancy furnishings etc don't just come out of thin air.

> On the other hand, inflation taxes every positive-valued bank account roughly the same.

Inflation wrecks (the typically meagre) savings of regular people. It does not affect the wealthy who will have diversified investments and that will include things that are a hedge against inflation such as (but not limited to) precious metals, overseas investments etc. etc.

I don't wish to be rude but you haven't thought this through.
Of course that's a naive analysis, but so was grandparent's.

Actually that's why I mention Singapore, Monaco or Liechtenstein, all of their surface is inhabited, or their population concentrated around a single city, but their death rates aren't dissimilar from those of their surrounding countries.
Maybe in the US it is not explicitly stated. My previous contract stated explicitly that I had to work from 9:00 to 18:48 five days a week, and do 1:00 of lunch between 11:00 and 15:00. Anything deviating from that would be accounted in the Bank of Hours and be subject to additional laws regard pay.
Playing devils advocate here:

<devils advocate>

The NSA is arguably having a credibility problem at home in the US. It needs to convince the tech industry that there are enemies abroad who threaten their security, and attacks by nation states (who aren't the US) is something that is real.

North Korea is a great scape goat. They can deny it all they want, and we don't care about the diplomatic costs, because it can't get any worse. People can't demand sanctions, can't demand recall of ambassadors, the only thing anyone could demand would be going to war with them, but for the most part, we don't care. They're the crazy uncle of the world stage. So basically, the only problem would be if the NSA got caught lying about it.

</ devils advocate>

However, getting caught would probably be the worst possible thing for the NSA (remember, there is likely still a leaker inside); as it would jeopardize the main benefit from doing this in the first place. So I don't think the risk versus reward pans out. That said if North Korea IS behind it, the above motivation for speaking out is still valid.
I believe the reason this is "a big deal" is due to how the average US citizen reacted over the recent Sony Breach and the US Government's blame of NK (I might add with no supporting evidence, most industry professionals in high doubt, and even some security companies providing evidence to the contrary of statements by the government).

The average US citizen was outraged that some other government would have the audacity to hack anything in the US. This article's goal seems to be to point out that the US Government is hacking all other nation's governments, including NK. (pot calling the kettle black)
I'm lucky to have worked in several places where there was no specific in/out time as long as you get the work done. As a result, I don't use an alarm. I've realized that sometimes, it's very hard to predict the amount of rest my body would need on a particular night, and having no alarm on, permits me to often be well rested. I've also realized, that I have rarely slept more than 8 hours, so looks like this does not lead to oversleeping. I recommend trying this out if you can.
As an analogy, you might be hard pressed to tell the difference between two burgers cooked the same, but made with different kinds of ground beef. (Grass-fed, organic, etc.) However, you might well notice the difference between cooking one rare vs. well done, or one cooked on a charcoal grill vs. fried in a pan. Hand brewing vs. using a Mr. Coffee or an Aeropress is much the same. It does make a difference in how it tastes, and the big difference is a matter of preference.

There's also the matter of doing things right vs. wrong. Whether your ground beef was from Whole Foods might matter a whole lot less than whether it was properly refrigerated or whether the cook burned it. When it comes to coffee, Americans have been trained to tolerate beans and grinds that are a bit on the old and stale side. Some people go to a shop for beans roasted yesterday or today for the improved flavor, and some go to that shop as a matter of conspicuous consumption, and for some it's a mix of the two. It's the same as any foodstuff.
I think the post should have been titled 'How I destroyed my startup by competing for the only girl in the office with my cofounder'.

Small offices are no places for dramas. A bit different in large organisations where you are in different departments/buildings. Still a very tight rope to walk though.
Right. I'll just give up then. It's a good job no-one wasted time trying to apply machine learning to speech recognition, cuz there's no free lunch you know. Or handwriting recognition. Or housing prices. Or game strategies. Thanks for letting us know that there's no point searching for a solution via ML. Phew!
Calling them 'documents' vs 'files' is a minimal difference. People are usually referring to the document itself when they say 'file,' not the file-in-a-folder-in-a-filesystem paradigm. If you open a spreadsheet in Google Docs, people still will view that as a file.
> "I told him that if he did not go my way, I’d stop doing the programming work. He said if I did not go his way, he’d stop the staff from working."

This quote struck me because it's a surefire sign that a project is probably going to fail. Every time I've seen people holding a project hostage by threatening to withhold their skills, those projects have either ended in failure, or even when successful, the people on the projects had very low morale.

In my experience, it's very important to create a culture where people do not use unique skills to hold a company hostage. For instance, a designer should be willing to implement a design that is (to her) sub-optimal from a design perspective, e.g. when A/B tests indicate that this design generates more money.
Even Newton's laws had exceptions, i.e. general relativity. No theory in physics is perfect, and neither are the theories in this article (they're just a lot less perfect). The usefulness of laws is in their simplicity and their predictive power.
Confused and no patience for the above link!
I thought this a very nice, even-handed treatment of the various religious wars and the reasons for them over time. Of course, I also prefer Lisp, so I am predisposed to agree with the author.
Why does Facebook need to respond to this? Why do they need to tell us they're responding to this? "This is important. We are important. Ergo..."?

Best case, this would be just another case for application of preexisting policy. Without more fuel for the flame of those feeling victimized, rightly or wrongly, by bias, persecution, and conspiracy. Certainly mass violent action of this general kind was well within the scope of foreseeable outcomes during recent policy discussions. We saw similar photos of smaller events in at least one state capitol in the past year.
Truly accept the meaninglessness of life. Then choose a meaning for yourself. Here’s a good one: help reduce the amount of suffering in the world. Millions of people around the world are in a constant state of suffering (poverty, homelessness, war, mental issues, etc.); they’re not lucky enough to have their fundamental needs met in order to contemplate the meaning of life. Help just one of them to have a better life (donate, volunteer, mentor, ...). It shouldn’t be too hard; look around you.
I kept a fairly close eye on /r/The_Donald, specifically looking for signs of that behavior. Personally, I didn't see any. They pretty much kept to themselves, at least for the last year or so. That doesn't mean there wasn't any, but they had a far higher bar to clear than other subs. It also seemed like quite a coincidence that they were banned just before the crucial period leading up to the election.

You say "issuing death threats" like it was mandated by the mods. As far as I could tell, the mods were doing what they could to keep everybody contained within their zone. And the premise of Reddit is that anybody can create their zone; if you don't like it, you don't have to view it.

My point is, the counterargument that they were banned due to bad behavior seems to be slightly misleading. Every sub has bad behavior, and I know for a fact (because I saw it!) that the mods were clamping down hard on anything remotely like what you mention. The community was downvoting such comments too.

along with the left leaning subreddit chapotraphouse which engaged in similar behaviour

Can you be more specific? /r/LateStageCapitalism is still up, and they seem to "issue death threats" just as frequently. For example, they frequently reference guillotines while gesturing towards the rich.
"Here's the game: whenever you wake up in the morning, you ask me whether the fortnight is over. And you count how many times I say no. Ok?"
Because this time one side asked their voters not to use mail-in ballots and vote in person. So mail-in ballots tend to be skewed to the other party.

It's nothing more than a fig leaf to justify tossing ballots that are predominantly for one party in most states.
> I can obviously not cover every single one, but just seeing a random van and claiming it's full of fake ballots doesn't make it true. In many of these states, the entire counting was livestreamed.

I'd like to have the VA thumb drive handoff and the GA under-the-table ballot stash explained please.

> In many of these states, the entire counting was livestreamed.

Some of these videos purportedly show poll workers scanning the same ballot multiple times.

> Anyone can give statements, but election fraud requires more than just hearsay.

There are lots of sworn first-person statements, which aren't hearsay. Also fraud requires evidence of intent. Its much easier to show that serious, legitimate questions can be raised about enough ballots to sway the outcome than to prove why observers were prevented from observing.

> Numbers are easy to play with, see p-Hacking. In the majority of the cases, if you apply the same calculations to previous elections, or hell, even red counties in this very same election, you get very similar strange looking results.

Can you link me to those majority of cases? Quality of the statistical arguments varies widely and only the non persuasive arguments seem to have been responded to.

> Just because you've been told that it wasn't taken seriously doesn't make it true.

In a situation like this, demonstrating that the concerns are being taken seriously is more important than actually taking them seriously. The apparent legitimacy of the President is likely to have more of an effect on everything than who the president is, at this point. When these allegations aren't seen to be taken seriously it creates the appearance of illegitimacy, regardless of the facts.

> Courts have gone through the evidence for 2 months and none of it went anywhere.

Actually many of these cases never reached the stage of preventing evidence. And 2 months ago there hadn't been enough time to investigate and we were already being told that it had been debunked. So its not enough to do whatever they have done, it is necessary for it to be known that they have done what is correct.

> But for some people, being proved wrong means not being taken seriously.

Can you show me some of these claims "being proved wrong"? Thats a stronger claim than there not being evidence and if you could substantiate this it might help reach some people.
Nit: the first issue of Marat's "L'Ami du peuple" wasn't published until several months after the fall of the Bastille and thus played no role in radicalizing the populace prior to the Revolution.

But the broader point that the French Revolution was proceeded by a radicalized literature [0] is accurate (Sieyes' "What is the Third Estate?" is the most famous work [1]). Though it's contribution to the origins of the Revolution is the matter of some debate [2].

However, it is much more expensive on a PPI basis compared to western countries.
It can be incredibly handy if you are doing a computation with a lot of state. I'm currently working on a tool that does chip design, the state for which runs into hundreds of gigabytes. Being able to redefine a class without restarting can be an absolute life saver in a situation like that.
I'm not from the US either but from what I've seen the media and the sites I visit - they were largely bashing his every move indiscriminately.

I mean this was always the game in politics, right media hated on every Obama move, left attacked Bush, etc. But Trump really lowered the level at which the game is played, and the opposition followed right down - so everything became ridiculous, infuriating, simplistic talking points and tribalism.
COMMAND-F "adioso", happy to see it's you :)
Yes, that is actually a sign of good reporting. Most news sites would not tell you that they had not verified this message, they would just publish it as truth. It also may indicate that they tried to verify it.

Of course, they could have decided to hold onto the story, until it was verified, but in the online world, news travels fast.
They use Amazon S3 for storage in the past, not sure if it is still valid for now.
What doesn't make sense is the incredibly huge task of moving all that work to somewhere else, as well as leaving an area that you have setup to handle such a huge amount of work.

If this is true, it is just in the planning stages for years down the track, or they have been planning this for a long time.
IANAR, but if I was I'd be offended by the comment on the snowflakes and vindicated by the recognition that many people gave their lives to defeat Germany.
C is just an abstraction over the underlying machine. The amount of tooling to required to make C programming bearable is staggering - how much leakier can you be?
it really would be awful. look up compulsory positive thinking in communist societies.
Yay I know I was a unique guy, being neither artificial nor intelligent!
Of course. Are you suggesting that this isn't true?
And/or that you need to demonstrate your feelings for someone else through an object that has inflated worth...
Using package.json is simpler when you're working on multiple projects.

It also means that if you decide to contribute to a random project, you can simply run "npm test" to make sure your changes are valid. No need to screw around installing mocha or karma or whatever test framework the project is using.

You can safely assume that everyone that's using node will have npm, so it makes sense to keep tasks contained in npm.
Even after decriminalization, you still have the problem of giving the monopoly of an entire market to outlaws. This can be fixed with legalization of (heavily controlled) production. But, sadly, this still is politically unpalatable in most places.
There are geographical differences.

Once in the South, I was fine just with an online receipt. Another time, going from LA to SF, I had to buy another ticket because my name was misspelled(seriously).
Founder here, let me know if you have any questions! Upvotes would naturally be greatly appreciated to get the word out in the US :-) Right now we mostly have large (and small) hosting providers in the EU as customers.
No, the commenter asked a specific question about why we optimize for growth at the apparent cost of a negative interest rate, and rapidly rising salaries as well as housing prices.

"When do you consider the economy big enough?" is rhetorical question which doesn't even touch on the trade-offs apparent to what's being asked.
The reason I know you're lying is that anybody that I have met that has done any time says they wouldn't wish it on their worse enemy.
Not all is lost for Meerkat if they do FB connect. The Twitter first strategy only works for SV.

As a caveat, Meerkat did make a bone headed move by abusing the twitter api with auto follows. Twitter probably stepped in to far also by cutting their social graph.
Because buying and selling drugs is a mild crime which carry too harsh sentences. Especially considering the awful prison system which makes no attempt to help inmates become productive members of society.
I wrote a Python script (called synesthesia)[1] that'll colorize input based on regex matches, and any matched text will be the same color for the same content.

The use case that drove its development was needing to keep track of UUIDs across multiple logs - and grep --color will colorize its matches, but not differentiate between ones that have different content. With this, I could watch both logs as data was passed from one to the other and keep track of e.g. the orange one.

I also thought it would be nice to be able to use patterns from logstash's grok, so I wrote grokpat[2] to find patterns for me. A lot of grok's patterns use atomic groups, which aren't available in Python 2, so I wrote redi[3] to convert them from grok's syntax to Python compatible syntax.

So I can now colorize logs easily as follows:

tail -F program.log | synesthesia "$(redi "$(grokpat uuid)")"

I'm not sure why you think the majority of Hacker News would be against you.

There are uncomfortable uses of state power in the drug war, like FISA warrants and civil asset forfeiture. This is not one of them.

Edit after reading replies to your comment: Well, I guess I predicted wrongly.
