I suffered from a wide variety of issues (inflammatory symptoms, weight loss, extreme fatigue, severe joint issues, gastro etc...) when living in a moldy house. At first I was sceptical that mold could be the cause because there is no scientific or medical consensus established for mold and the huge list of symptoms I was experiencing.

My GP tested me for Aspergillus antibodies and I came back very high. My GP remained open-minded and went along with treating me with cholestyramine (a binder that can supposedly bind up mold spores, according to the "Shoemaker Protocol") and I'm gradually getting better. My Aspergillus antibodies have dropped significantly. I'm functionally 80% better now but I still have a bit of a road to travel to return to how I was feeling before all of this happened. I generally avoid discussing this too deeply with friends because I know they would be sceptical (as indeed I would be if I had not experienced it directly).

It's difficult to explain how it feels to be in a situation where you've been healthy for your whole life and you suddenly come down with a whole host of symptoms in your late 20s for which doctors can find no biological markers. You get used to recognising the "internal eye roll" from doctors when you list your symptoms. It wasn't mentioned directly but you can tell they are dismissing it as either hypochondria or depression (I have no history of either and never even visited a GP before any of this started). The most positive thing that I can take from these last couple of years is that it has thought me a much higher level of empathy for other people and their experiences.

I'm embarrassed to say that I wasn't aware of Keats' writings and your comment sent me to get more educated about him, which I found very interesting, so thanks for that :)

Not sure in what sense you find the view reductionist, but I suspect it could be from inadequately expressing what I mean
for example if it's cold outside, the cold air expand, leading to less relative water.

Isn’t it more about the ability of warmer air to hold more water versus the expansion of colder air?

Relative humidity is percentage of water (versus saturation) at that temperature.

If you have 50% humidity at 50F, and heat the air to 70F, that becomes 27% relative humidity.[1]

*Her point.

The problem with calling it a mass suicide - besides the fact that hundreds of people slaughtered were children (who had no idea what was happening), the elderly (threatened into submission) and people forcibly held down and injected with poison - is that it leaves room to think that the majority of these 900 people CHOSE to die, and Speier's account shows that they overwhelmingly absolutely did not, regardless of their previous allegiance to the church.

Subsequently, we can joke about people's stupidity instead of having a conversation about how to recognize demagogues like Jones and prevent their rise to power.

I believe Speier's implication is that calling it mass suicide assigns culpability to the victims and away from a murderer.
The author didn't say "most", she puts the number murdered at 300. Either way most people rightly describe the incident as a massacre.
> But google is big enough to push through that problem

Not really. There are hundreds of millions of home routers deployed that all do NAT. And they all don't support NAT for SCTP. And many do NAT with hardware support, so it's probably not even fixable with a firmware upgrade, which isn't even an option for a ton of unsupported devices anyway.

So, I think encapsulating in UDP is the only realistic option if you want to gain any adoption any time soon.

Also, SCTP has the same problem that TCP has in that the network can look inside the protocol, and thus you would get protocol ossification. While Google does this for selfish reasons, I think it is a really good idea to establish a protocol that is completely opaque to telcos and should ultimately benefit the public. Telcos really don't want to be dumb pipes, and they tend to abuse any power they get, as they have demonstrated time and time again, and the only way to force this issue is by simply making it impossible for them to see or manipulate anything at all. So, while we may have to live with the UDP encapsulation forever, and as stupid as that is, this at least ensures that anyone in the future can trivially invent and deploy new protocols, as it is trivial to masquerade anything at all as QUIC. The adoption of QUIC for the web has the potential to get all ISPs to fix things so that QUIC actually works reasonably reliably over their network. And the fact that as far as the network is concerned it's just UDP packets filled with random data ensures that as long as your new protocol is UDP packets filled with random data, that will work as well, even if you use completely different mechanisms for framing or flow control or multiplexing or whatever.
Buckets creation/deletion is a global operation, namespaces are all global for it. When us-east-1 goes down, so does bucket creation. All other operations proceed merrily, but yeah as we see over and over again, whenever us-east-1 has an outage everything seems to shit the bed because they've built everything out in us-east-1. Hopefully us-east-2 is starting to eat in to that.

"The limits are calculated each fiscal year depending on the total number of family-sponsored and employment-based visas available. No more than 7 percent of the visas may be issued to natives of any one independent country in a fiscal year; no more than 2 percent may issued to any one dependency of any independent country. The per-country limit does not indicate, however, that a country is entitled to the maximum number of visas each year, just that it cannot receive more than that number."

The advent of digital accessibility is far more impactful for local museums in smaller markets. These institutions now have access to global audiences who may never have heard of the museum (or even the town / city), would certainly never have visited in person, but are perhaps searching a wider database by artist, genre etc and encounter these small collections thus beginning a fruitful journey of potential engagement.

Most people I talk to who ask me about Upwork are the types who are just starting out and don’t have any connections. I too started on upwork and while certainly not a large sum, my first year offering design services I made 50k. I know this is a laughable sum by most salary standards for people who typically browse HN, but it’s nothing to be a shamed of for someone who went from unemployment to some sort of income on his own accord.

I know of many freelancers who typically do between 40-50k on upwork plus other projects outside the platform. Personally, I have moved into consulting and do not rely on upwork. While still not a lot of money by standards here, I’m on track to 100k this year. I think the huge benefit is that I don’t have to deal with a lot of stress that comes with employment or nonsense the kind that the author talks about with upwork. Consider that platform your path to a sustainable freelance or consulting career. Gotta put in the grunt hours to move up. Of course there are many exemptions if you are in the right circumstances.
The sheer size and power of today's monopolies is mind-boggling to me. To think that the US has laws on the books to prevent this state of affairs but isn't enforcing them angers me.

Sure. If everyone hates your opinion, the obvious step is to start comparing yourself with Galileo.

Of course you would get the exact same pushback if you were wrong, or your ideas potentially harmful. So the two possibilities can't really be distinguished by the reaction alone, making this essay fall on the "unactionable" side of the Paul Graham obvious<->unactionable scale.

But when everyone disagrees with me, Bayesian logic tells me that I'm the only one who knows Bayesian logic and probably right.

If they are anything but completely stupid (admittedly, not unheard-of for startup jockeys), they have competent legal counsel, who can explicitly draw the boundaries for them and write the appropriate notices.

Relying on some kind of quasi-plausible timing/delay issue, as does the parent comment, it's even less of an excuse.

The more I see, the more clear it is that Upwork are

If they were going to give proper notice of what they were doing, they should have done so simultaneously with shutting off service. If not, they're also wrong.

It really has narrowed down to two choices:

1) Upwork are completely incompetent to even perform their primary functions

2) Upwork are playing a very unethical game.

Either way, they are not qualified to operate their business, and shouldn't be hired from either side.

I was born and raised in New Zealand, but left soon after graduating university for Australia. The pay in New Zealand is just not that good, especially with house prices rising the way they have been over the past decade.

Upon saying that, if I grow old and have kids, I'd love to move back. Good work-life balance, relaxed lifestyle, and ready access to the outdoors. 30% of the land in New Zealand is conservation land owned by the government and publicly accessible. If you live outside of Auckland, you can get outside the city in half an hour, and be in proper wilderness within an hour. All the major cities are coastal too, with great beaches in the summer (although the water is rather cold year round).

It's definitely a great place if you have children. New Zealand is an incredibly egalitarian country due to its small size. I noticed a big contrast between NZ and Australia when I moved to Australia with how much people here talk about their background. People in Australia talk a lot more about their cultural heritage (e.g. whether their ancestors were Italian, British, or wherever else), and there's a lot more elitism about where people went to high school (private schools are very popular in Australia, not so much in NZ) and where they went to university. Since NZ only really has one university per city, people don't really care where you went to university, whereas Melbourne has like 7 universities, and there's a lot of elitism about what university you manage to get into.
But you haven't cleared anything up at all! What do you mean "determine what it is"? Do you mean compute its digits? Can you have an irrational number? a rational number with a non-finite decimal expansion? And what do you mean "operate on it"? By which operation? And what do you mean "quickly"?

In any case, the relevant program (assuming a fast random oracle)

emit "0."
loop forever:
x := query random oracle for one bit
emit x

seems to fit all your criterion. You can compute as many digits as you like very quickly. If you can have pi I don't see why you can't have this number (if you can have any random number at all).

>> tinfoil hat privacy

I thought privacy concerns around RFID payment and identification were more to do with abuse by private parties, like recording, spoofing/replay attacks, or just private collection. I think I remember some emphasis in early press coverage of e-passports on the idea that they would only be scan-able when opened, (although I'm not sure if that is either true, or helpful). So I guess State Dept. was concerned enough to discuss it.

It is common knowledge that large scale industrial surveillance exists, and contributes to fraud as a side effect. In such an environment, privacy concerns about RFID in payment and govt. ID cards hardly seem so outlandish that they should be dismissed out of hand.
From wikipedia [1]:

> HTTP/3 (originally named QUIC) is an experimental transport layer[1] network protocol designed by Jim Roskind at Google,[2] initially implemented in 2012,[3] and announced publicly in 2013 as experimentation broadened

and then

> In June 2015, an Internet Draft of a specification for QUIC was submitted to the IETF for standardization

Unless you count 'developed independently by Google and then three years later submitted to IETF for standardization' as 'developed from scratch by an IETF working group', I fail to see how your assertion is backed by actual events.

For the record, SCTP has been standardized since 2000, and it was actually developed by an IETF working group.

Robots with legs are probably not an option, they are both costly in production and energy usage. Something more akin to https://farm.bot but on a larger scale would probably work better. Maybe a hybrid solution like a CNC bot built on top a frame with wheels that could simply drive around a field and work on different quadrants would be a way forward.
I don't think OP was intending "minimal" to mean it would be easy to get to the stage where it's possible, just that once you've got all your infrastructure-as-code stuff set up correctly, you ought to be able to just be pressing buttons / running scripts and have your infrastructure up and running in another cloud provider.

Even when working in small companies with small infrastructure, I've kept recreation of infrastructure as one of my high priorities (one reason it really bugged me in one job to have to depend on Oracle Databases that I couldn't automate to the same degree.)

In my mind, it's not different from the importance of having, and testing restoration of, backups. If your infrastructure gets compromised somehow, or you find yourself up the creek with your provider, you've got to be able to rebuild everything from scratch.
Yeah, I know. I think the cat showed me that when it walked on the keyboard. :-)
I just want to say, what has kept me away from LISP has nothing to do with parentheses. There are two "facts" that I can share to represent why I dislike LISP.

The first is a quote bathed in absurdity from an actual LISP manual:

> setf can also be used with any of these functions to change an existing component of x, but setf will not make new components. So, for example, the car of a cons can be assigned with setf of car, but the car of nil cannot be assigned with setf of car. Similarly, the car of the car of a cons whose car is a cons can be assigned with setf of caar, but neither nilnor a cons whose car is nil can be assigned with setf of caar.

I think this sums up the aesthetic horror that LISP is to me. Pretty sure it was written by Dr. Seuss.

But a far more important factor exists: There are no decent paying jobs for LISP programmers outside of the browser which is a personal hell to me. Besides Clojure, I know of no real foothold in the professional world. I have no doubt there are outliers, but, that's just not the kind of thing to bet on.

So no, not bothered by the parentheses. Bothered by lack of real words with real meaning and lack of motivation to tolerate the ugliness.

One of the reasons I moved from Wellington to Melbourne was the earthquake risk. After the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016, I realised how vulnerable Wellington is if there's a similar sized, magnitude 7-8 earthquake centred on Wellington (which there is a significant risk of). There's only one highway into Wellington, and if that gets cut off after an earthquake (which is very likely, it was down to one lane after the 2016 quake due to a storm at the same time) then Wellington is only accessible by boat.

The 2016 earthquake also showed that despite efforts to earthquake-strengthen buildings in the city, it's still very vulnerable to earthquake damage.
It depends where you are walking if you want a realistic answer. Lots of people walk around denser areas at night with commercial stores/nightlife and residential areas near transportation. Walking around the suburbs when it’s 12am and there is nothing open is probably going to raise suspicions because it’s uncommon and there’s not many places to walk home from other than a friend’s house. (Not to mention it’s dangerous with all the people speeding/not paying attention to the roads when less cars out at night). IMO, I would say the more empty an area is the more suspicious it would be to walk around at night. There’s legitimate reasons to walk around at night like going for a stroll or walking a dog, but for the most part police would stop you to let you know “you do know this is risky?” and let you go on your way as long as you don’t seem like you are planning some criminal activity or acting erratically. Plus, it lessens their chances of having to go help someone out of trouble if they just advise that person reevaluate their decision.

We had an issue a few weeks ago where the google front-end servers were mangling responses from Pub/Sub and returning 502 responses, making the service completely unusable and knocking over a number of things we have running in production. Despite paying for enterprise support and having in a P1 ticket, we had to spend Friday to Sunday gathering evidence to prove to the support staff that there was indeed a problem, because their monitoring wasn't detecting it. Right now I'm doing something similar (and since Friday!) but for TLS issues they're having. Again, because their support reps don't believe there's a problem. There are so many more problems than they ever show on their status page...

GP is talking about how the design of iOS is preventing one from doing all those tasks in a satisfactory way, but not the hardware.

For example I could be editing a movie and waiting for it to export. Then I switch to a different app and start editing my photos. There is a Task Completion background API to allow the former to continue to run, but there is no guarantee nor any notification when iOS decides my new photo editing app is consuming too much resources and jettison or kill the movie app. It contributes to this nagging feeling of needing to switch back to the background app so that iOS would keep it alive.

It's just an app management model ill suited to professional work.

I think you're missing the point here.

Yes, the externally assessed value of the house will vary depending on where it is.

The cost of public services apportioned to the house is not linearly correlated to its' externally assessed value.

If you move a suburban flat into the centre, slice it into the middle of a skyscraper say, it'd be worth way more, but it'd cost about the same to maintain the roads and take the bins out.

(Actually it'd probably cost less in the city, so in that particular case the public costs would be inversely proportional to value...)
In particular with Blink, the app will actually recognize the monitor as a second screen, and use it at full resolution (as opposed to mirroring the normal iPad screen). With tmux, this means you can arrange as many horizontal and vertical splits as you can fit onto the monitor.
