I think it boils down to ketosis/water fasting/calorie restriction.
I had the same thought.

It's $2.495 per gallon, according to [1]. That's €0.57 per liter, which is about a third of the price here in Sweden so "yes" to me.

Libertarians of various stripes derive a lot of their concept of ethics from the non-agression principle. Of course, then left and right libertarians argue over even the details of something this simple, for example, left libertarians consider private property to be forceful in nature. [2]

The integrated dishwasher I installed in my previous apartment had a red light shining down on the floor when it was on. The only bad part was that it didn't turn into a green light when it was done. Otherwise, pretty much perfect.
> I meant the current trend of digital products which are, in my opinion, more like a TV than "computers".

That is true. But I really wonder if the hacker/consumer ratio has shifted over the years or not.
No, other protocols may have solved those design problems, like Mina (formerly Coda). This is just inherent to Bitcoin’s gen 1 design. https://minaprotocol.com/
This should be considered criminally negligent politicking...

That looks pretty cool. An up to date link would be cool. Maybe do a show HN post for it when you're at the next update too?
It's not that bad, maybe 10x of nothing.

There are much bigger fish to fry when building a large network solution, most prominently getting the thing to be debuggable on live machines!
They are allowed to. That is why they did. Just as I am allowed to call them scummy for it
How is the trackpad? Does it support Windows Precision? What material is it made out of? How does it compare to an Apple trackpad?
So they were both reduced hours and beholden to their jobs with no time off?
I have few tricks in my sleeve, but my laptop project stalled with quarantine, and appearance of other things to spend money on.

NBC and a few other companies have been doing this for a very long time for many positions. They get away with it by using third party agencies and there isn't any recourse for the employee.
This seems like a great resource living within the overlap of Stack Overflow and Genius. What's the business model look like?
I think you hit the nail on the head with "Element is much more like a chat program than a phone messenger". Me and a friend experimented chatting with Element (Riot at the time), and while it certainly "worked", the process of getting everything working was not something I would expect a non-programmer to be able to figure out. We had to finagle different keys across different computers and phones and it was fairly painful. Both of us are software engineers, so at some level we have fun figuring this stuff out, but I cannot see a universe where Element catches with the general public unless the process is as quick and painless as Signal.

I feel like Element works better as a competitor to Slack or IRC than as a competitor to Signal or Whatsapp.
You didn't provide criticism, you made a word meme. There's a big difference. Your reaction does not add to this discourse and furthermore I'd say it damages it.

Consider this: If I disagree with the sentiment that "if a trans person is offended, then it is transphobic" and someone reads your reactionary comment, guess how much more work I have to do to positively engage with someone? The answer is a lot. Said another way, your reactionary statement justifies someone else's extremism.

If you cannot debate people positively, maturely, and without reaching for tools like reactionary statements or sarcasm then please just sit the conversation out.
What would a good solution for this be? Ask that creators upload a separate premium version of a video with no ads and with bigger payout for views?
> The LinkedIn Crowd is just as bad as the Instagram influencer crowd

No, it's more fake and forced.

I once sat through an hour meeting about "representing the company" better on LinkedIn which was triggered by a post by a sales guy which had been dutifully reshared by colleagues until a board member saw it and decided it was sexist. The post in question was one of those awful only-on-LinkedIn stories involving our hero, the sales guy, bumping into a distraught stranger recently laid off by the industry vertical he was selling into and comforting her with words of sage wisdom. It wasn't sexist per se, but it was pretty nauseating and probably bullshit.

After this, I think my colleague responsible for drumming up social media engagement better understood why I was uninterested in helping the company hit performance metrics by posting on a biweekly basis with random people in my network @mentioned to beg for likes.

Give me a feed full of poses in improbably expensive clothing in front of a Santorini sunset, 31st takes of overly technical "improvised" guitar solos and artfully posed kids any day.
They are great! Use them every year. TurboTax is a scam in comparison. Use code FREETAXUSA10 to get 10% off that already-cheap state filing (federal is free).
I liked your first point.

The second reads like so much resentment of an amorphous group. I'm not sure why I should prefer your brand to the other.
I also found the codility bit off-putting, though I think that company may have improved their product since you used it.

Otherwise, I've always found Toptal personal; even the next algo interview (a Skype-based one) was pleasant and friendly. Just one person's limited experience, though =)
We start with the most victimless crimes (drug possession for personal consumption) and go from there.

Did I not call that out enough? My apologies if so. Stop wasting time prosecuting what doesn't provide value in prosecuting.
The Berliners should have the meeting entered in their calendar as 10 AM Chilean time. At any given moment when the meeting time must be evaluated or displayed on their own calendars, it can be converted to European time using the current time zone conversion rules.
Yeah. I don't think it's a bad thing. Many of the articles posted are short opinion pieces anyway.

If it's a technical article on a subject that's interesting to me, I'll usually give it a skim, check the comments, and then go deeper if needed.
Perhaps we will just find that the wages paid for scrubbing toilets will increase, till we find that people are indeed willing to scrub toilets. Why shouldn't a job of that sort be well-compensated?

Universal basic income doesn't intrinsically mean less work being done. It just means different leverage in the negotiation process.
In my experience, state AG's can be very helpful with consumer complaints.
Getting into programming is easy. It only requires some baseline level of interest. There's no formal certification. You don't need specialized tools. With a laptop and an internet connection, you can be up and running making toy programs on day 1. How many other fields look like that?

On the other hand, creating and managing a large code-base is no mean feat. Making production code that does something people are willing to pay for usually takes time and effort.

And as usual, learning to program is one thing. Becoming good at it is quite another.
My only gripe with it is that being Amazon, it has no excuse for being so slow. The revenue it must bring should justify better servers.
Ultimately, I want a mouse that will so radically and miraculously rearrange my life that it is no longer necessary to spend so much time every single day in front of the same screens for hours on end. Short of that I could do with one that fits to my palm better. I recently picked up a Logitech g502 hero, there's a whole subreddit about that mouse I guess. Before that I had a Mionix Naos 8200, which was also quite good.
I guess?

TBH, getting acquired by a big boring corporation in my early 30s, and having the startup into which I had poured countless late hours' worth of blood, sweat, and tears become a long and joyless coast into mediocrity, was possibly the greatest thing that ever happened to me both professionally and personally.

There was a brief period of anxiety over all the corporate bullshit, and the loss of edge, and all that good stuff. But, after about 6 months of that, a magical thing happened: I started leaving work at work. My demeanor became more placid. My sleep improved. I found hobbies.

I guess maybe, in some poetic sense, it's sad that I'm no longer driven to build exciting things. But, in a more mentally healthy (for me -- I'm certainly not going to begrudge someone else for continuing to be ambitious and driven) sense, that was benefitting a bunch of strangers more than it was benefitting me. I've done my time, and I'm now content to sit back and watch the young'uns take their turn to run themselves ragged chasing dreams around the office all week, and then watch my own young'uns run themselves ragged chasing each other around the yard all weekend.
This whitepaper is not the whitepaper I wrote back in 2017. We took that down because it was ultimately not the design we implemented. The full system design can be found here: https://github.com/UkoeHB/Mechanics-of-MobileCoin/blob/maste....
Telemarketing and spam are advertising. It's all the same game as digital advertising, just different mediums.

Your hostility to the idea that advertising is a net societal ill reminds me of the quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
> This optimal system of social and political order emerged in the English-speaking world, based on property rights and the representation of property owners in elected legislatures.

I'm not sure this is a fair statement. To me, referring to a system as optimal implies a sense of finality, as though we have a rigorous, tested proof that this socioeconomic system we've developed in the West is optimal and complete. Again, to me, this is an absurd notion.
The thing is, the market can be right without knowing why it is right.

The market thinks that in some fixed, relatively near point in the future we will look back at now and say "Intel was already hosed, it just didn't know it".

It may be that the market is currently only expressing interest in the hopes of others that this particular future will come to pass, but that is the only way it will.
This needs its own blog/HN entry :)
Kinda weird.

If a rando retail person pulls out their iPhone and asks me to tap... that's kinda strange in my mind. Something about "how do I know that isn't their personal phone?" would pop in my head.

But things that seem awkward can become commonplace.
What the heck? There are millions of us. There are several industries revolving around people who "hack" their weapons. Whether its a new handguard on your AR-15, or buying 10 lbs of gunpowder there are people that can help you out.

In fact, I'd say that there are more of them, than hackers.
is google believable too?
The obvious thing that would correlate with the south would be average household income. Not all of these mobile only households are carrying $70/mo voice+unlimited text+large 3g quota plans, many of them are likely on $5-$15/mo prepaid options because they are cheaper than carrying a landline.
Really? At $10 per extra phone (on my parent's plan) having a land line is more. Free caller id, voice mail, plus the ability to call between phones for free make having a land line a little silly.
I don't think it's all that shocking that we don't measure the dead people in that metric. That's not pedantry, that's deliberately twisting words to make a true statement false and then chortling about it.
I think the line was pointing out Shakespeare's tendency to just make up words and coin phrases as he needed. Had someone been "protecting" the language, the English language we know today would have been dramatically different.

"the most important single contribution to adoption and usability that Ubuntu have made to date."

To be fair, Ubuntu isn't really in the business of making changes, just packaging up software other people write in an accessible way. Most of the projects and changes that people praise Ubuntu for hit Fedora first because they're developed by Red Hat engineers, or because they're developed by 3rd parties and Fedora picks them up first because of their whole "bleeding edge" thing.
It should also be noted that there's an active progress for targeting iOS and Android targets with HaXe. So if you're an experienced Android/iOS programmer you may consider lending a hand.
I don't think it's that 'telling'. I'm a big fan of Huxley and I realize what he tried to do, but BNW is frankly a much better novel than The Island.

On another note, The Machine Stops and The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas are also pretty good.
That's funny...

When Lehman Bros went down, the US economy went to hell.

When MtGox went down, the bitcoin price returned to its previous level within a couple days.

Clearly we need more oversight of bitcoin.

How this isn't working for me:

"I disagree with or dislike this man." therefore "He must be trying to take freedoms from me."

How this is working for me:

(To prevent any speculation, I do not currently own any Bitcoin, nor have I ever owned any Bitcoin. I was however once tipped 10 doge on reddit for a rather clever dick joke... I do not have any sort of financial bone in this matter.)
If the basic drone delivery model were viable, it seems to me as if today it would be viable to have a Kozmo 2.0 sort of service in urban areas. It might have higher labor costs (not at all clear as you could use pretty low wage workers) but it would have a whole lot less capital requirements and we know how to do it today. I guess Amazon is doing this in a very limited way with Amazon Fresh.
You statement is essentially just another way to say "it's just a small matter of programming"

All the technology exists for me to build a drone swarm to patrol my house constantly on the inside and out, deliver me a video stream, and to deter intruders with non-lethal force. That doesn't mean I just need to order the parts, assemble them, and use.

There is no off the shelf remote fly-by-wire for an Airbus A320 or any other passenger jet. Plenty of companies have done it as a one-off thing. This is for either testing UAV systems or using the plane as a crash test vehicle. This usually involves the same team of engineers that equipped the aircraft monitoring every single parameter in real time. The military has actually received criticism for conducting weapon systems 'tests' in this manner.

There is a huge difference between that and commercial operations of such a system. In a commercial environment, you can't have a team of engineers on constant standby. For planes flying for research purposes over unoccupied areas a high risk of total loss of control is completely acceptable. Commercial and military remote control aircraft all have systems that intentionally crash the vehicle if communications is lost and it leaves a designated area. This prevents potential loss of life due to mundane software bugs. You can't ethically build a system that intentionally crashes an airliner full of people as a response to a software bug.
Come now, I love that you know about all this stuff and as someone who used to order Esalen catalogs as a teenager, I share your fascination with it—but this is an extreme stretch. These guys aren't doing orgone therapy, rebirthings, or (heaven help us) immortality. Also, it's a category error to conflate Wilhelm Reich, Leonard Orr, and Stan Grof. Those are three completely different figures. Totally agree about the fascination of Reich, though—he is unsummarizable.
Sad if true, they were a cool company in Madison, WI.
That's cool.

I take it the inputs are recorded with tick-level accuracy? Otherwise rand(time()) would screw everything up.

Is that all there is to it, or am I missing something?
Yes, drag and drop is widely used in OS X and it works very well. Your windows aren't tiled all the time, but Expose puts them into a tiled structure, and it works with drag-and-drop. So I can have all the windows open I want, in whatever configuration I want, start dragging something, enter Expose, and drop it wherever I want.
The existing deal already has enforcement mechanisms under Article 37. If Iran violates the deal, the UNSC sanctions are reinstated by the P5+1. If the P5+1 violate the deal, Iran scales back its own commitments. All of this is in the existing treaty.

And there is no guarantee that meeting the new demands would result in sanctions stopping, rather than in more sanctions and demands.
Look up "Multi-channel Fulfillment", Amazon ships off-Amazon orders for 3rd party sellers.
> Then they are stealing the same as others. It's just their theft is popular since it lets people access stuff for free.

As has already been pointed out in this thread, the work has been bought and paid for by taxpayers. Your work is based upon the work of others, isn't it? I'm sure your work is filled with citations of other works that were taxpayer funded.

Sure, there is the odd case like yours where you funded your own work. But to argue that the world should be denied access to all scientific knowledge because a tiny, minuscule portion of it was privately funded is pretty lame.
> we basically have NO DATA on single dose schedules for Moderna/Pfizer vaccines

I wonder if anything can be deduced given knowledge of the mechanisms these vaccines use compared to other vaccines against other viruses.

I know there are vaccines like for HEP-A that confer immunity for at least 10 years given a single shot, and a 20+ years of immunity if a booster is given in six months.

It appears that the FDA doesn't want to offer any information outside of the studies. This cut in half the number of people who can be protected during this winter's covid season.
I wonder what the local zoning commission has to say about the guy building a personal toxic metal death ray in his backyard?
Compare this slap on the wrist to Aaron Swartz:

Federal prosecutors later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[15] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.

I didn't say that System76 needs to pump out an M1-comparable laptop off the bat.

In fact, my comment specifically notes "non-rebranded laptop shell" as that would go a long way to turning around the cheap feeling they currently have.
"If you do focus on a dollar amount, focus on the first $10,000- This usually means you've found some repeatable process / minimal traction."

For extra effect do this in rapidly growing and/or rapidly changing markets. You may stumble upon an opportunity much larger than one likely to be left open in a mature and stable market. Doing this also give you a lot of the advantages mentioned in the post.
If you already have a NodeJS person, it would be far better than having to set up a static-optimized web server from scratch. You can't just replace your big fat Drupal (or worse) site's web root with a bunch of HTML files and have it perform as well as a static-optimizer server.

And even if you don't have anyone on-hand, it is, unfortunately, cheaper, easier and faster to learn all this crap and deploy to Netlify, than it is to set up a solid Web server from scratch (or even get good enough "just a folder" web hosting).
Perhaps I'm biased because my father is a real estate broker and I've heard his stories, but there is a (probably overpaid) profession of people whose only job is to sit down together and dicker over how much commercial real estate should actually sell for. It isn't a T-bill, where you can just ask the computer, or a stock, where you can just look at the transaction for a fungible unit which sold 5 seconds ago, or even a pork belly, which for an agreed upon quality of delicious piggy goodness can be treated as "implements IPorkBelly" and sold quite easily. (Hiring questions: what methods does IPorkBelly offer...)
Maybe it is an appropriate term here? Pire throws out the advanced/complex features of Perl compatible regular expressions, so the authors are arguably following the "Worse is Better"[1] paradigm.

*Simplicity
The design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the implementation to be simple than the interface. Simplicity is the most important consideration in a design.

The whole story could have been a deliberate leak by a Yahoo insider to drum up public support against shutting it down.
Since you mentioned this, I registered wordlens.co and set it to redirect to their website. I emailed the info and asked them if they want it. That's how awesome I think this app is - I'd rather spend my own money to make sure they get a good domain.

$35K per month for a team of 4 seems ridiculous to me. And $500 for a desk, really?

I live in Vietnam, serviced room in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City, eat out in restaurants daily and spend about $1000 per month.
This is a pretty special case.

Indeed, they weren't that reach at all, and they were on the forefront of the proletarian movement.

But now we have all the benefit of the hindsight, and we cannot go back to thirties, and tell that to masses going crazy from destitution, and poverty.
You mean the areas that did not have a verifiable paper trail went for Trump?

Do you mean to imply tampering is "checks & balances"?
Good point. I use irc more than any other IM and nobody ever complained about lack of e2e there. When the usecase is more about meeting new people it doesn't apply as much.
I agree that the "best case" scenario should probably involve some impact from the lockdown (after a delay), but given the experience in California (which was that the lockdown didn't slow things down much, if at all), it seems at least plausible to look at what happens if the same is true in the U.K.
Wow, do you truly believe heart disease is contagious?
Good thing Adaway blocks Facebook hosts on a system level so I don't have to worry about the Facebook SDK so long as I keep my hosts list updated.
People back then could print anything. We have more population of people in the country, more then ever - and more outlets but it does not change how information is disseminated

- from Thomas Paine Common Sense, to getting all the farmers with pitchfolks to revolt over whiskey tax to the newspaper boy shouting on the corner.

It's really the same coin.
It can be mitigated somewhat if you have pcid enabled for the processors, so that a flush can be process specific instead of cpu-wide. There’s still a performance hit of course but you’re going to lose some locality with a context switch anyway.
How about "Document A (succeeded by Doc B)", "Doc B (succeeded by Doc C)", "Doc C (current)"?
