Can someone please explain what 'inflammation' means IRL.

All kinds of studies linked to from all sorts of health obsessed forums online would have me believe basically everything causes 'inflammation'.

Meanwhile I'm here, living my life, eating all kinds of foods, without feeling at all 'inflamed'.

Agreed on geoengineering. But given that AC is a non-trivial fraction of current energy use [1] and that there are ~2B low-energy consumers in the tropics who would enormously benefit from AC, the in-principle impact on GHG output here is substantial. Install to cool the earth: no. Install to cool human-occupied spaces: yes.

Hm, not sure the neighbor is the best example. A neighbor giving a copy to a neighbor would still fall under private use.

Being a for-profit business is more likely to change the equation. On the other hand, that's not that much different than selling a VHS recorder.

Actually, discussions like this are a good example why we need a copyright reform. But the issue there is that every time that was tried in the last years, it was used to add more uncertainty and less rights (in the proposals). We would need the contrary.
2-Don't follow the herd and the hype. When given a problem, keep drilling the problem until it is absolutely clear to you and then only work on solution

This is one of the most frustrating things I've had to deal with when developing with a team. No one wants to take the time to think about a problem before working on a solution. Almost always, the people I work with would rather spend weeks coding than spend a few hours thinking about the problem, just so they can present a solution "first". It drives me crazy!
'Random software' should not know anything about which file system your drive has.

As someone who has been married for 14 years, I heartily encourage you to attempt a more modern approach with whomever you may be able to convince to try it with you.

I was a big fan of the subplot of The Office (US) where Dwight and Angela drew up, negotiated, and signed a procreation contract.

The real problem is not defining your personal relationships as you see fit, but in getting the government to recognize that you should have the power to do so. Some politicians are very keen on defining marriage in a particular way, as though it would stop certain forms of relationship from existing, when in reality it just denies to some people the ancillary rights that others freely enjoy by default.

As long as you don't mind the legal discrimination against you, there is no reason for you to get married in the traditional, legally recognized sense. But an awful lot of people like the benefits available only to married couples, which are largely unavailable to those in some other kind of family partnership.

The advice I give to all young people is to never get married, ever. But at some point, many of them will discover seemingly sound reasons to discard my advice, and will do it anyway.

As trial begins, GrubHub looks to defend itself as a 1099 employer
Well, if some people need a nanny, and most don't, how do you make those who need a nanny to buy the version of the product that has the nanny? Either you force everyone to get the nanny version (heavy-handed, especially to those who don't need it), or you rely on people who need the nanny version getting it (which only helps those who can admit that they have a problem).

The only other alternative is something like having some objective event trigger a legal requirement to have the nanny version. For example, a driving-while-texting ticket could trigger a legal requirement to have the nanny version of a phone that won't text while you're in a car.
why are we still stuck with this 2000yrs old tribal behavior instead of moving on with a more modern approach?

Mussels use byssus threads, which are a keratin+polyphenolic protein core coated in an adhesive protein mix. The keratin/polyphenolic core provides the strong part, then the adhesive obviously adheres it. Both parts are very important, and I imagine it'd be hard to have the adhesive work well by itself.

The process of creating the threads also seems relatively difficult, but Google seems to have some byssus-based adhesives. Who knows, maybe you'll end up with something interesting.

Particularly this, seems like it might not be too difficult to make at home with some equipment and knowledge: https://www.livescience.com/6974-glue-derived-clinging-musse...
What are you trying to accomplish here?

It looks like a nicely structured rigorous filtering tool based on values. But when you view the details for any company, it's not really rigorous. It's a narrative from the company with a clearly positive bias.

Now, getting more narrative content about companies is great (most companies don't do much of this) but the value you're creating here is a better "what's it like to work here" page that a company might want to share with prospective employees. It's not going to really help people find meaningful values-based matches, because the "pick your top N" ranking methodology is lousy and too subjective. As other have pointed out, there should be some max-hours rule if you want to claim to value work-life balance. The degree to which a culture is Eng/product/design/data-driven is really important to gauge fit, but this rank methodology will not give you credible answers to that. It would be better to look at the backlog of work and count who wrote the tickets - that would be eye-opening, and also help you identify negative attributes ("driven by highly-paid persons' opinions"). Other important things you've identified, like "high employee retention", would be far better off as quantitative data points instead of self-ranking.

On the other hand, maybe this is a feature, not a bug. You're trying to get engineers to voice preferences on values, and if that gets them to pay attention to your site as a source of jobs, and you continue to feature awesome companies that are great places to work, you will place some of those engineers in those companies. In this case, your product should probably do a better job of helping an engineer understand her own values. Again this would be better served with tradeoffs (Would you work 60-hour weeks in order to work with world-famous engineers? If most of the company participates in a push-up competition, would you find that exciting or off-putting?) than pick-8.

Still, it's great to see someone starting from the premise that personal value should align with organizational ones. Best wishes!
It's not about parsing being difficult or easy (e.g. you would still have to parse an abstract structure into a syntax tree specific to your language semantics). It's about making a structured form be the canonical baseline (instead of the canonical being a 'sequence of lines' i.e. text).

Consider that every programming language and every config language first invents a new syntax to encode a tree like structure (typically using a combination of curly braces, other brackets, keywords, indentation etc.) but the code itself is saved as 'text'. This is a lossy encoding - all a generic reader such as `git` or `grep` can now infer is that the file contains a 'sequence of lines' and can then only offer line based operations (git diffs are line based, grep searches are line based, etc.), when in fact a more meaningful operation would be the tree structure based.

If a tree based format was the canonical baseline, diffs could display the location of the node added (e.g. 'Added <Class X> -> <Function Y>'), without having language specific parsing knowledge. Similarly, most editors could provide 'tree view' and 'jump-next', 'jump-up' etc based on context, again without knowing language specific details. Further, many internal representations of programs (e.g. intermediate representations in compilers) also use trees, and could potentially be exported into one of these forms, to make the plethora of tools work with them.

(BTW, I'm not saying a tree is the best generic structure to replace text, but just using it as an example to argue for advantages of a generalized extensible structure over plain text.)
So you're saying Google and the likes should ignore the very principles of the web that made them successful and even possible unless they're sued or regulated? That they can do whatever the freak they want without respect towards the environment (meaning both the web and economical/legal/political environment) they operate in? That's how you destroy ecosystems, economies, even political unions.

That's probably my biggest grief with many big companies today (and probably most big companies ever), the lack of respect and decency (in general). The few big tech companies I see that show a decent amount of respect (but still a long shot from perfect) are either run by Elon Musk or Apple, with Microsoft slowly but steadily digging themselves out of their rabbit hole.
> surely it would be extremely beneficial to have at least 1 open source filesystem that has good support across all platforms

The comedy of this is that there are actually plenty of FSes common to all three of these OSes, they're just not considered "modern"; FAT32 is still the most commonly used FS for interop, even as it shows its age with poor support for very large files (2+GB) and file systems, but you also have ISO(9660) and (the best answer we currently have) UDF supported by all three OSes natively and openly without patents or other licensing restrictions. The latter two are not commonly used as read/write filesystems, but have zero inherent restrictions on being able to be used in such a way.

However, the problem has been largely supplanted by having a fast and well-functioning network and people moving to "The Cloud" for, well, everything. It's hard to know how much of the Great Cloud Migration is caused by these kinds of intentionally engineered interoperability fails, especially the monumentally stupid exFAT patent... It's interesting to ponder given the people likely to complain the most about filesystems today are people who want to move large files (4+GB) between OSes without anguish, where the network is still just too slow to handle the task well.

Please consider adding value ranking.
For example, many people might value both meritocracy and diversity but valuing one more highly than another creates a completely different culture.
P.S. Please consider adding "meritocracy" as a value.
The number of calls probably wouldn't be the same, though. A process might make hundreds of system calls while a unikernel might make one hypercall to do the same work (because virtio has batching).

Anyway, I don't personally think reducing system call overhead is interesting but it seems to be one of the arguments unikernel people make.
That is surprising.

Can you point me to a concrete reference about the 50x50 number?

Modern SAT solvers should be able to handle that, maybe with a few problem specific tweaks.
Why not reimplement it and prove the filesystem can be reimplemented sanely, and furthermore now has multiple implementations to test the specification against?
I think that's kind of just applying a bandaid to a wound that already has an infection. If you don't treat the underlying cause, (greenhouse gases) it's still going to get worse. Still, a massive planetary array of space radiators sounds badass.
>Google PR confirmed

Confirming confidential information something to someone under NDA doesn't violate the NDA.

>to a reporter

One's occupation has nothing to do with the legality or enforceability of an NDA.

> on record.

This is not a legal term, and has no legal value, but a practice in journalism. A journalist can publish things "off the record," it's fully legal it's just a way to ruin their reputation.

>Once you publicly disclose, the nda makes no sense.

Every serious NDA I've signed (dozens of them) has had a clause which basically says, "Once it becomes public it's no longer covered by this NDA."

However, Google didn't make the information public. They were talking to an employee of a business they have an NDA with (an employee which I'm sure has signed an NDA with Forbes and an agreement to honour all of Forbes' NDAs). Again, it's completely irrelevant that they're a reporter - as it should be. Could you imagine if Bezos/Amazon could violate any NDA they wanted as long as they passed the information onto a Washington Post reporter first? From the perspective of them being an employee of a company under NDA, this is clear as day.
> If Free Speech is suppressed through societal pressure, it's just as bad as the government doing it.

You're confusing the market of free ideas with speech. Governments have militaries and police forces. Societies have public opinion. Are you suggesting that societies shouldn't have the ability to guide themselves by rejecting speech that is harmful to itself (i.e. racist/sexist dogma perpetuated by a majority that wants to get rid of its minorities)?

Honestly, this all sounds like nihilism which I know is all the currently all the rage to wealthy and white Silicon Valley, but I'm sure your perspective will be altered if you should ever be unfortunate to have nazis start targeting you.

This is what I think about at the pump.

More and more I see gas pumps ask if you want a receipt BEFORE the gas is dispensed. This seems risky.

If you decline the receipt and then dispense gas, the pump could cheat on the amount of gas dispensed with less risk, as a papered record of the purchase amount and price is not produced.

If on the other hand, the pump waits to ask if you desire a receipt until after the gasoline is dispensed, the dispenser will not know if a written record will be requested, and cheating the customer is riskier.

Therefore, I always request a receipt if asked prior to dispensing my gasoline.
I don't understand your reasoning here. Make can call any program, and contain as many build targets as you would ever need. If some task can't be accomplished in Make itself or existing CLI programs, you write something that does that one task well, then ensure Make runs it whenever needed, even if that's every build.
>> It's hardly a choice if you have to write that check to buy medicines for your sick kid.

This is certainly a tough scenario to argue against (way to choose a truly heart-wrenching emotional situation ;-), but the fact is, if you are writing a check (even for a good cause), knowing that you don't have money in the account, that also is a choice. Certainly there must be another way... use a credit card, get in a time machine and convince last_year_you that you need to create a small (or large) emergency fund for these sorts of things... etc.

Not if you have foreign holdings and don't repatriate all of the profits.

I also don't think you could easily manage raising the effective corporate tax rate very much without seeing further offshoring of profits, which is the present situation. We presently live in a world where capital movement has been liberalized and the movement of people(Schengen notwithstanding) has not. So even if you have some sort of profit/income agnostic flat tax, any business that can seek lower tax rates abroad will.
I'm curious about the WannaCry situation. If the killswitch was truly to detect being in a VM, could they still not have bought the domain and just left unresponsive, or even better, just generate a random new domain every single time.

I guess they just didn't foresee someone buying the domain.

In addition to location, you'll also want to filter on:

- company size

- years experience desired

- compensation offered (one of the things that makes AngelList jobs and the monthly HN jobs post so effective is that it's the norm to include comp info)

- tech stack (to know if I have relevant experience to get in the door / if I want to use those tools)

- roles (you should put into standard buckets like AngelList does)

It's not just the unit itself, but everything the sun shining on nearby heating the air which is getting blown through the coils. The temperature increase effect is also superlinear; the efficiency goes down as the temperature increases so 250W extra heating might cause an extra 120W of loss (that number is made up, but the amount is greater than zero).
> Linux has also been developing its own ZFS-like filesystem, btrfs. Since it's been developed in the open (unlike early ZFS), people tried earlier ("IS EXPERIMENTAL") versions that had serious issues, which gave it something of a bad reputation. It's much better nowadays, and has been integrated in the Linux kernel tree (fs/btrfs), where it is maintained and improved along with the kernel code. Since ZFS is an add-on developed out-of-tree, it will always be harder to get the same level of attention.

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status

So long as there exists code in BTRFS marked "Unstable" (RAID56), I refuse to treat BTRFS as production ready. If it's not ready, fix it or remove it. I consistently run into issues even when using BTRFS in the "mostly OK" RAID1 mode.

I don't buy the implication that "it will always be harder to get the same level of attention" will lead to BTRFS being better maintained either. ZFS has most of the same features plus a few extra and unlike BTRFS, they're actually stable and don't break.

I'm no ZFS fanboy (my hopes are pinned solidly on bcachefs) but BTRFS just doesn't seem ready for any real use from my experience with it so far and it confuses me. Are BTRFS proponents living in a different reality to me where it doesn't constantly break?

EDIT: I realize on writing this that it I might sound more critical of the actual article than I really am. I think his points are mostly fair but I feel this particular line paints BTRFS to have a brighter, more production-ready future than I believe is likely given my experiences with it. BTRFS proponents also rarely point out the issues I have with it so I worry they're not aware of them.
Finding most frequent words/phrases will tell you a lot. There's also topic modeling if you have enough text.

Ask HN: Buy SaaS Time Sheet
Hi everyone,

Created this new account to ask for your help in finding a SaaS Timesheet (like https://clockit.io/, https://www.boomr.com/ etc.) that a founder is no longer interested in maintaining or using it. I do not expect it to be feature-rich like the above examples but do hope clients can sign up immediately along with processing their credit cards.

I have scoured through flippa/empirebuilder/etc. but they tend to be mostly Google Ads/Amazon FBA etc. (nothing wrong with these businesses, I am just interested in something else).

Why SaaS timesheet? I am interested in learning to apply some of the selling principles I have learned through my readings.

Thanks for your time.
