Do people really expose their or their employer's source code to random third party convenience services?

I do understand the convenience factor here, I just think it's dodgy to encourage developers to be so flippant with privileged access.
I've heard from my doctor and from other patients about cases where some steroids helped or even resolved tinnitus completely. I'm currently investigating this option.

In my case, years before my tinnitus onset, I started having a lot of discomfort on my right ear (my tinnitus is mostly one-sided, just like my floaters).

Firstly, my right ear started getting clogged with wax really frequently. Then, I developed extreme sensitivity to cold. So, cold air would give me acute ear pain.

Immediately before and after my tinnitus onset I had mild vertigo quite frequently.

Ever since I developed tinnitus, my ear feels full and clogged.

And this sort of response is why we can never have a real conversation about this topic in Toronto. Not once did I ever say that there aren't terrible drivers in Toronto putting cyclists in danger. I thought this was a pretty clear conclusion just from reading the article. I agree we should change things to make things safer for cyclists. I just wanted to offer my own perspective on where the anti-cyclist sentiment may be coming from in the first place, given how many people I know have complained about aggressive cyclists. The reason these people all hate aggressive cyclists is because they don't want to hurt or kill someone with their car, not because they hate bikes.
I'm not asking the mods why Argento's story was flagged. I'm asking the community if HN has a double standard on what news are "acceptable".
I've been using a standing desk for about 2.5 years. I stand almost all the time but I tend to take few mile walks every few hours to break up coding / thinking, etc..

I no longer do it by a schedule because my mind will tell me when I should go, but to begin with I would just set an alarm and go get up every 2 or 3 hours, and if you're close to finishing something important (say 10 minutes), finish it first and then go.
It is interesting to see Indians talking of themselves and India as a separate entity. Now, I am fine with people moving out of the country and I can understand the appeal. A lot of problems in India have been long solved in the west and there are problems which are unique to India. But it is hypocritical to blame the ills on "India" as if it exists without it's people. Citizens make a country and they are equally responsible whether they like it or not.
I don't like when "recreation" is something that is aggressively optimized to be addictive, err, I mean to "increase engagement". Billions are spend to keep people scrolling through their feeds as long as possible. That's different from taking a walk in the park or playing a game of cards with your friends.

Work at a Startup – How to Survive in a Rocket Ship Pt.2
Don't forget that prescriptions are free in Wales and Scotland.
Sure, you're right. My original point was to point out the hypocrisy of the government policy. But you have raised a related point about IITs.

Aside from being underfunded (in comparison to global standards) there are systemic issues with IITs which make it underperform in research - first, they were designed as undergraduate institutes. The administrators constantly harangue, and block the ways of the colleagues who want to do research - for example, disallowing travel during the semester etc.

More importantly, the best PG students in India do not go to the IITs. They go to IISc or abroad. It is the PG students who do most of the research in a university, not the UG students.

Think of this: no teaching university in the US is a top-tier research university.

When faculty systematically underperform in research over 60 years, when many of them were good researchers before they join the IITs, and many of them continue to be good researchers after they leave the IIT system, we need to rethink.

Faculty must be allowed to do research 90 % of the time, travel freely, and spend very little time on teaching/administration. You can't have your legs in both the boats.
Bump in the wire: bufferbloat workaround for the masses
"People don't become servers to make minimum wage"

People don't take jobs at fast food places to make minimum wage either. I'm not sure anyone takes a minimum wage job to make minimum wage. People take the jobs to make money and try to survive. Being a server is no different.

Tips are unreliable and depend greatly on place and hours you are scheduled. Sure, theoretically you get minimum wage, but not all employers make sure you do.
It was the first published program but not the first.

To be the first, you have to believe Babbage designed a general purpose computer that could accept instructions and never wrote any instructions.

https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/ada-lovelace-original-and-vi...

“I confirm that the manuscript evidence clearly shows that Babbage wrote ‘programs’ for his Analytical Engine in 1836-7 i.e. 6-7 years before the publication of Lovelace’s article in 1843. There are about 24 of such ‘programs’ and they have the identical features of the Lovelace’s famous ‘program’,” adds Swade. The historian says that the new tests are “unarguable” and that they “do not support, indeed they contradict the claim that Lovelace was the ‘first programmer’.”
Well it's really both. Definitely a great example of survivorship bias (we only remember the good books), but also it's so easy to publish a book these days compared to 30 years ago -- publishing is cheaper and "print-on-demand" means that tail-end publishers want quantity over quality. And publishers can do mass reachouts to potential tech authors all over the world (and they do -- if you have even a small blog with a "how to" tutorial on, you've likely been contacted by PacktPub, etc.).
Well, what you call here "design issues" I would call "flaws of an imperfect solution". They are design issues similar to how CAP theorem is a "design issue" with dbms-s or how concentration of wealth is a "design issue" of capitalism.

His system solves a previously unsolved problem, but it has flaws. Do we know a better solution? Well, it's being worked on. However, Bitcoin has been here for ~10 years.
You make some extremely large claims about ZProc, what advantages does it have over every other message-passing library for every other language ever built? (including the other zeromq bindings?)

TBH, you're claims sound like you've just "discovered" message-passing, of which many, many languages, runtimes and operating systems have been using for many years/decades.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing)

In other words... its not a revolution.

ZProc seems to simply be a simple library to pickle data structures thru a central (pubsub?) server.

This is not the way to get remotely close to "high performance". What you've created here is pretty much what multiprocessing gives you already in a more performant solution (i.e. no zeromq involved).
The only problem with lots of excrements being regularly trow to water courses in a single point without treatment is that is illegal in EU.

Recently Brussels fined Spain €12 million for failing to treat urban waste water in nine points of the coast. The idea of dutch floating farms being allowed at the same time to throw faeces and enteric bacteria directly to a populated port in the heart of the EU would be, obviously, very difficult to explain to the public opinion.

And I'm not even mentioning the powerful mussel's farm industry in Holland. They would be extremely upset.

If the west tariffs developing countries there will be an outcry over neocolonialism and forcing the poor countries to our will and whatever.

The only thing the west is allowed to do is putting money into developing countries without any guarantees and hope they do something useful with it. It's frustrating.
Reminds me of the spam text generated for linkfarms and such --- probably because they use the same algorithm. It gives the same "uncanny valley" feeling of looking like it was written by a human, but upon closer inspection becomes much less believable.

Then again, some of them don't look "Markovian" enough and appear to be verbatim real article titles.
> c-section w/o insurance runs $25-$30K -- cost me around $5K with insurance

$30K without insurance is insane! I live in another developed country, where childbirth isn't covered by insurance (since it's elective, right?), but the whole C-section procedure + 12 days in a private room in hospital cost a bit over $5K. Almost $4K of that were then paid by the city government (nationwide program to help cover birth costs).

Said humans were giving the elephant more than the standard technically given that death to an animal that kills a human was a longstanding standard and would be mocked as absurd hicks even in their day. A monkey was hanged as a possible French spy and again regarded with mockery for being so stupid to think it was possible or mistake the poor creature for a cabin boy. The precedent of animal trials indicates it doesn't help the animals or justice and usually indicates a profound detachment from objective reality. Judging ideas on human precedent alone isn't a good idea. Even precedent by all judges in the 20th century.
Thanks a lot for pointing these out! I've corrected them.

While in general it's true, and probably applies to India, I'd like to point out a major gap in your analysis: external factors.

North Korea is basically propped up by China. If China would stop backing the regime, either the local citizens or intervention from South Korea could make the regime collapse overnight.

Eastern Europe had regimes enforced by the USSR. Same story. See 1989 (luckily for these countries).
I agree the tone of the parent comment could use a little work, but think it's a valid point - I'm not sure it can count as denigration if it's something they've actually done.

In terms of "put up or shut up" I should make clear I'm not advocating Mozilla shut up, more that they put up next time something like DRM in browsers is on the table (which they ordinarily do, which is why I use their browser).

I've been lucky enough not to be asked to implement stuff like this, but I also don't work at a B2C business. Maybe that's the secret.

I've reached out to many sites though that what they're doing is distracting and annoying but the only response I've ever gotten to that was that they would hire and I could do it better. Yeah right, as if they'd let me remove all the popups.
From the second link,

>Interestingly the indicators are incandescent bulbs…

>an odd choice as they have used LEDs as indicators on the PCBs as we will see later.

Lightbulbs have well-understood failure mode (open circuit) and detection of such failures; it's exceedingly rare for a lightbulb to fail half-way. Contrast that with LEDs which can fail while remaining as either open or closed circuit. This (costly & lengthy airworthiness certification aside) is why even modern airliners use lightbulbs for avionics indicators - often in redundant pairs. One of very few maintenance items commercial pilots are allowed, and indeed trained, to perform routinely is replacing the indicator lighbulbs.

"The efficiency issues are not public vs private. Its mostly regulatory burdens."

The phrase 'doubling down' comes to mind here.
I would have felt this way a decade ago. Since traveling for a work a fair amount in Europe, it's very pleasant to just add up the figures and arrive at the total. The VAT is well-known, so I think the transparency aspect is covered.

Want more transparency in the US? End payroll deductions and make people pay their income tax and FICA contributions all at once. That will do much more to drive transparency, I think.
I had the same problem. Tried the standing desk, no go. Couldn't get in the zone ever (and I tried it for 2 full weeks).

My tip: drink a LOT of fluids. You will have to keep going to the bathroom which is a natural break point, and not something as abrupt as an alarm; the urge to pee sort of creeps on you, so you can stay in the zone until you really gotta go. The hydration is good for your brain/body anyway, so win-win.
The 174 point Weinstein story you mention has as the top comment... someone complaining it got flagged, and a big [flagged] in the headline. So yes, it got flagged.
>The problem is with pop science headlines, like it is in any other journalistic field. I think it's less of a problem though, than many think. Publishing in the popular press needs to be understood as "academics working on X" not "X has been proven."

Writing a headline that misrepresents a single study's conclusion as "proven" or what "scientists say" -- especially when the conclusion is contradicted by most others on the subject -- should be considered by journalistic ethics watchdogs as an extreme violation bordering on an outright lie.

The media seems simultaneously bewildered as to why the public no longer trusts it, while incapable of recognizing and responding properly to obvious breaches of the public trust like inflated science headlines.

> and future generations will pay the price for using fossil fuels instead of nuclear

IMO this is pretty short-sighted and ironic in itself - I really don't think future generations will be thankful that we left them huge chunks of radioactive waste.

All the pro-nuclear folks seem to miss another important thing - uranium isn't growing on trees, the mining is probably as destructive as coal mining, and the worldwide supply is finite - we simply couldn't mine enough uranium to power the entire world for a long time.

It also harms the tipped worker.

How many times have you seen a young service worker prostitute their feelings towards some arsehole or bitch, because the worker really needed the income?

I live in a mostly tip-free country, and I am sure most front line workers here have a lot more agency to deal with nasty customers. Although the downside is that service staff have few ways to earn more except by changing jobs...
Is that a recent change? I was under the impression that people who buy their own insurance can’t deduct it, or at least I haven’t ready any 1040 instructions that say you can. What if you’re employer doesn’t offer health insurance and you buy it? Then you’re not an independent contractor, but you still don’t get it from employer.

Ask HN: How do you take notes?

I live in Germany, what the US tourists usually call "bad service" (because they were being rude or not happy enough) is simply expected here. Nobody where I live expects servers, cashiers or taxi drivers to talk to you beyond the necessary or fake a smile, in fact, my sister worked as a server and was told on no uncertain terms that faking a smile was an absolute no-go. (Though this is less common in the southern European states, especially tourists locations)

Tipping is generally only restaurants and taxis, where you simply round up to the next 5€ or 10€ and the waiter keeps the rest.

In my experience, I find US servers very unpleasantly/uncomfortably nice/happy while not really focusing on the service quality itself (food quality, accuracy of order or similar).
"Too expensive" seems like a flaw, as does radioactive waste.

so true. Stress leads to burn out state which has to be one of the biggest productivity issues. The body and mind go into this odd state where they are looking for instant small boosts to feel good. Food is an obvious feel-good with many obvious 'next stage' boosts that people opt to get 'rewards' from. You could write the same article about alcohol, excessive gaming or excessive social media consumption. Personally, keeping an eye on the level of burn out is one of the most important lessons so far.
