Sounds like a combination of you just getting unlucky and having very low pain tolerance.

Personally I don't mind it hurting a bit sometimes, for smaller stuff I usually even opt out of the local anesthetics because I don't like running around with a mouth that feels like it's full of cotton.

Those are medical procedures after all, they are not supposed to make you feel amazing (at least during the process) they are supposed to "fix you", as such the process can be quite uncomfortable like many other medical procedures.

If pain is your issue you should try looking for dentists offering less-conventional methods, like hypnosis or electric anesthesia. But I doubt there's anything anybody could ever do to make a visit to the dentist "comfortable" for you, short of full anesthesia so you don't even notice what's happening.

I guess I got lucky because I don't really mind, never did.
As kid I would hate going to the haircutter, but I loved visiting the dentist because of all the cool tools he had.
Being weird sometimes has its advantages ;)
This may explain why Poland doesn't seem to understand the concept of a laundromat. As a tourist, this can be quite annoying. (Hotel laundry service is usually per-piece and thus way too expensive.)
> To be fair if all ads were as unobtrusive as Google's we wouldn't have a problem.

Youtube ads are about as intrusive as ads can get, short of bikini-clad flashing popups.
Allowing your codebase to develop organically is a lot better than trying to fit the square peg of your domain into the round hole of the chosen framework.

Its a fair argument to make but honestly I've never worked on a web app where I didn't think that using an MVC framework like Django or Rails made sense.. Do you have any examples of web apps that would be better off without a framework than with?

Also there are plenty of PHP codebases that were developed "organically" (i.e. without a framework) that are absolute eye sores to look at because without a structure in place its too easy for developers to write bad code.

I wouldn't add another HTTP layer for a functionality that is within my own app / network, unless I were to expose this as a service for outside the network as a service.

I would think that this is bad design - call a http service that wraps smtp, when pretty much every language has an SMTP client.
Having an implant takes a lot more maintenance than regular teeth and no one really knows the long-long term results (modern implants haven't been around long enough).

While an implant may offer a much better quality of life vs having a severely poor tooth (or none at all), don't be fooled into thinking you just get one and then you're set for life.

They are considered an excellent option in a lot of cases, but you should never sacrifice your real teeth. You trade in worrying about cavities (real teeth) to worrying about a bunch of implant specific problems. All of which are waaaaaay scarier than cavities.

There is. They don't do nothing. They run some basic metabolic tests. If there's something specific (like you have pain in a particular place) they'll run more tests.

But when your complaint is something like "I don't have any energy", there are just too many branches in the decision tree. They need more to go on.

It's really weird that Youtube Red isn't available in countries outside the US. Many of the Youtube ads make very little sense outside the US (not all of cause), so one would think that there would be more money to be made from Red than in the US, vs. having ads.

Even the localised ads are for the same five or six companies, it's really annoying at this point. I do feel bad about using an adblock, because I do think that content creators should get paid for their work, but by not offering Youtube Red here, I'm deliberately being prevented from paying for content.

They have hybrids of current models so assume that they are hedging their bets and taking it slow. Heavy investment in the wrong direction could destroy a company even the size of VW group.

Tesla is a youngling with heavy investment and no guaranteed future. Like so many tech firms it could be gone in a flash. Once the Euro EV subsidies and tax breaks disappear as the have begun to do in Denmark Tesla will be on a level playing field. Expect the opposing teams to foul if it means scoring goals.
If you go to the Radio Times website there's an ad that pops up several browser windows - and loses the page you were looking at AND triggers the phone vibrate.

That's the beauty of a blockchain (and the rules that dictate how it is written) - one does not simply "remove the offending data".

There are enough different parties involved that acquiring consensus to make historical changes is practically impossible. The data that is there, at least several blocks prior to the current block, is permanent.

An attempt to do this would scare the market, affecting the value of bitcoin. The miners don't want that, so they will act in their greedy self-interest - which means they won't attempt to do such a thing.

> It's not a pleasant feeling but it's not an unbearable pain either in my experience.

Indeed, the way worse version of that is having your gum bags cleaned out, it's literally scrapping everything out between your gums and your teeth, one of the more painful things I went trough in my life.
There are more issues than just being unobtrusive. Ads are used to spread malware and that happens even on popular, vetted networks. For example https://www.businessinsider.com.au/android-malware-spreads-u...

Even if some simple ads could be tolerated, the distribution networks failed. Not even Google can be trusted to show approved, nice ads. They either need a massive change, or they will be blocked completely.
Apple's silence reflects the cynicism of consumers that buy Apple products.

Apple is mainly selling a brand and not a product. Apple is archetypal emotional brand. It's intimate with its customers and it is loved.

As most global companies, Apple as a company has no morals. It takes moral stance when it's builds up the brand without hurting the sales. Only way to make Apple to sacrifice something is to threaten the brand and make Apple users feel dirty.

More stories like this. People must stop loving and identifying with brands. All brands.

Thats not what he says. He says that these ideas "can be useful in any programming language". Which is the point that I disagree with.

So a library to organise the code which interacts with other libraries? Sounds an awful lot like a framework to me?

Are you partitioning the matches by MMR, or just doing global suggestions?

> To expand its user base, Power asked users to provide their Facebook credentials and then—with their permission—sent Power.com invitations to their Facebook friends. Facebook, naturally, didn't appreciate this marketing tactic. They sent Power a cease-and-desist letter and also blocked the IP addresses Power was using to communicate with Facebook's servers.

> Facebook sued, claiming that its cease-and-desist letter made Power's access unauthorized under the terms of the CFAA. Power disagreed and argued that having permission from Facebook users was good enough—it didn't need separate approval from Facebook itself.

How can be illegal if users are giving their permission? What happens if I give my permission to an external service to extract my own data?

Gmail is IMAP and SMTP, and Google Talk is (or was) XMPP, all on port 80 in the same browser window. Others are more metaphorical. Twitter is IRC on port 80, although one primarily listens to users instead of channels — but listening to channels is still possible, if one uses a client that can follow hashtags, and the syntax is even the same. Dropbox is FTP on port 80. Reddit is Usenet on port 80.

Finally! WebExtensions (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions) have slowly been becoming an adhoc standard for a little while now, but with a few tricky small differences here and there between browsers (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Ch...). So far it's just been Firefox and Edge slowly building a close approximation of Chrome's existing API, but a proper standard for this would be great, and make it much clearer what extension developers can _depend_ on, and what's optional.

Right now you basically write your extension once (probably for Chrome), and then port it to the others, often with various small manual changes or workarounds for incompatibilities. It's much better than it used to be, but still pretty inconvenient and error prone.

I can see at least a couple of differences with current implementations though, like using the `browserext://` protocol instead of `moz-extension://` and `chrome-extension://`. Does anybody more involved with this have a summary of the differences between this spec and Firefox, Edge and Chrome's implementations?

A lot of styles are being applied without you having to set a class. For example, all tables are styled. This can get in the way really fast if you want to do your own styles for a element.
I think the problem isn't that the ideas/reasons for privacy aren't being communicated. It's that a lot of people are seriously worried they will be a victim of a terrorist attack (and the government tells them this invasion of privacy will protect them from that) and when they hear the other side's arguments they are happy to fall back on the 'I've got nothing to hide' argument. Honestly it's a nice mindset to be in so I understand why it's hard to convince them otherwise.

Not to steer this completely off topic, but despite a lot of setbacks in Poland, Hungary and Russia the economic situation post USSR in Eastern Europe has been tremendous (Poland was the only country in the EU not to suffer negative growth in the Great Recession), the political rights to the citizens (such as being able to vote for more than one party), the freedom of the press increases (even in Poland, despite the recent setback with government intervention in public service media) is far beyond what China has mustered since the Deng deregulations started in the early 80s.

If you're Polish or even Russian you are far more likely to have a nice car, food on the table, a nice house, the ability to blog about whatever interests you, read what you want and even run for office than if you're a citizen of the PRC. So, again, it sounds like it's mostly ignorance, or expectations that democracies never experience setbacks.

Sorry if I'm naive but another thing I've always wondered about that is the exponential size of the blockchain.

I mean if Bitcoin ever gain real traction isn't it pretty inefficient to store all the data and replicate it around? Storage now seem infinite but practicality it is not, won't current blockchain be saturated to the point of uselessness when/if it reach usage level of an actual banking network?

"Let think about scaling later" is maybe not a good idea for a currency implementation...
Sure, you'd know that right after a CS high-school - however, if after that school you go on to work on real problems for a decade or two, then you won't know that anymore, since outside of very specific domains you don't really write such things from scratch anymore; you'd always want to use existing, optimized&tested implementations of all the common and less common data structures and traversal algorithms instead of rewriting them.

You forget what you don't use, and this is stuff that you don't use.

IMHO the big problem is that they're missing the point on why we ask students do do these algorithm implementations - it's not so that they'd learn how to do that (though a bit of general programming practice is useful), we put them there as hands on exercises so that students would understand the usage of these algorithms better.

The implementations are just a learning aid, not a learning goal. Asking to reimplement a red-black tree is somewhat comparable to asking what was shown in a particular instructional video or what practice problems were assigned in that class - checking if you remember the details of a particular teaching instrument.

No, they can be slippery as all hell. Ask a question by e-mail, expect a definitive yes/no answer, instead receive a phone call that's instantly claimed to be "off the record", and receive a parable about a nameless other customer who had this one situation this one time.

This is radically different to the above questions (which you may not find personally useful, but to the more bootstrap/entrepreneurially minded HNers are often pretty helpful or interesting.)

They are general information/discussion posts.

This post's a direct service connecting HNers with assets to HNers who want to buy them. Assuming there are a reasonable number of both, and the replies in the thread so far suggest there are, it's useful to have it recur for the same reason that "Who's Hiring?" is useful.

As for your question on whether anyone's ever bought a side project from a thread like this - the comments on this thread alone suggest there's a fair bit of interest in purchasing side projects, at least.

>> I think there should be as many unions as employees like.

I don't know enough to speak to the 'being forced to pay dues' point but having as many unions as employees want defeats the purpose of a union. You need everyone to come together as one to have any power. Have multiple unions and the company can play them off against eachother.

>> To the extent that employees have collective bargaining power, they can just use it. Get a group together, write a letter to Elon, and threaten to quit. See what he says. If you have any leverage, you can use it. If you don't have any leverage why would the union fare any better?

If people that work on the production line doing unskilled tasks got together and complained about safety and refused to work until it was fixed the company could easily fire them and hire another bunch of people tomorrow. If the union comes to the company with the issue on their behalf the company has to listen because the union members will include skilled workers too and they company can't afford to lose them.
