So, if I understand things correctly, your doctor would otherwise probably look at you and be like, “nah, don’t need to worry about this guy’s heart.” Is that fair to say?

Not OP, and I’m sure as hell not a cardiologist, but I would have fit that description. Wolfes-Parkinson, and would only rarely raise its head under narrow circumstances involving exertion. If you looked at my heart (which they did) and it didn’t repro the problem, you’d never know the difference. Former Cat 1 bike racer, and pretty damned good distance runner, I was for sure fit. But you can’t outrun genetics.

HR of 145bpm an hour after exercise told me, “something ain’t right”, abalation fixed it. I’m not diagnosing, and odds are darned good that OP doesn’t have my problem, but if it were me I’d pay a visit to doctor. Being fit doesn’t exclude one from heart problems. Wolfes-Parkinson killed a college ball player many years ago, and I personally witnessed a 35 year old Cat2 bike racer drop dead mid-race from what I suspect was Wolfes-Parkinson or a similar heart-related anomaly (again, IANACardiologist).

And as a side note, I wish the Apple Watch were around fifteen years ago. In an attempt to get a repro, I wore this inconvenient contraption for a few weeks (no repro). I know it’s only single lead, but at least I would have had something to record data when the problem repro’ed. And were the watch to have picked up something, I would have gone to the doctor a lot sooner because at least I had a tool that’s probably better than Dr. Google. As it was, “I should make a doctor appointment. Meh, probably nothing.” Men...amirite?

Tool to learn about 311 complaints for NYC housing
This has been a rough couple years personally and professionally for me. My dad almost died last March from multiple pulmonary embolisms. My mom had breast cancer for the second time. The Highrise drama. But the real weird underlying thing has been this constant chronic pain and other symptoms. I could barely move my left shoulder without a ton of pain. I stopped pushing doors open with my left arm for example to deal with it. I also couldn’t walk up stairs without pain. My knees were awful. I chalked it all up to either stress or just mid life getting old. Then I started getting a ton of fluid in my ears. I thought it was some allergy that I just couldn’t fully combat with antihistamines. It made me feel like I head a head cold. Cloudy. A little dizzy. And this just went on for a couple years.

I thought 40 was just my inevitable peak and it all sucks from here. Life took on a real grey hue.

Well. My wife made us go on some “anti inflammatory” diet. No gluten. No dairy. No sugar. No alcohol. Low carb. No snacking. I moaned about it for days.

After 5 days my body was dramatically better. All the joint pain disappeared. The fluid in my ears is either gone or drastically more manageable right now.

I’m still on a similar diet today but not as strict. And I remain feeling really good. I can’t believe I was living with all this chronic pain this long and could have just changed up my diet.

So I drop this story here because I bet there’s some other folks out there that could see some impact in their life just being a bit more aware of their diet.

For me I have no idea what the real cause is. Sugar? Alcohol? Dairy? I’ve heard from others they have a sensitivity to a food and had similar symptoms. I took a food sensitivity test at everlywell.com which mentions a high sensitivity to brewers yeast. So maybe it’s that. Maybe my body just needed a detox to reboot. Who knows. But I feel great.

(The diet I went on was in an ebook from a healthy heart Facebook group https://m.facebook.com/groups/thehappyheartproject/) but it isn’t magical or mysterious. You can just figure it out yourself by staying away from the things I mentioned above for 5 days.
Yeah this is something people keep forgetting. The reason fossil fuels have such an impact is because the industry is happening at such a scale.

Solar and wind are working at miniscule size ... and ... "no" impact (well, wind clearly has impact already, but ... let's forget that).

Well actually, solar does have an impact. In Spain there's a couple large wind farms I visited and ... not that it should surprise anyone but there's nothing growing near or below them. Below the panels there's dried out, sad grass. Now I guess this is what you'd expect, but still. It kinda sucks.

What happens when we have regions in every country the size of a decent state/province essentially covered in solar panels ? Habitat destruction, of course (even in deserts).

But for now, when we're talking a decent number of football fields, we can all happily pretend no impact.

Truth is, for the amount of power it produces, nuclear fission is not just amazingly, but almost absurdly low impact (meaning you'd get laughed out of the room if you predicted it in 1950). Far LOWER, not higher than solar, in impact, in danger (in lives lost / KwH, even if you include nuclear bombs), in place occupied, in nature poisoned/displaced ("environmental impact"), ...

Fusion can do better. That makes it worth pursuing.
No you're right. There's always someone on the other side of the trade. The cynic in me thinks though nothing changed because the person on the other side of that trade more often than not is always on that side of the trade -- the winning side -- and the schmuck who bought at 20k and is selling at 3k is usually at that side of the trade -- the losing side. So those that have capital now have more of it -- since all economics is just the transfer of capital and goods from one entity to another.

There are useful things to come out of bitcoin even though I want the whole idea of alt-coins to die: the blockchain is novel and I think could have some really good uses.

> My point is that you think cryptocurrencies have a negative impact on global warming so I think you probably feel the same way about mineral extraction.

Phrased as such, it sounds like you're calling me or the GP a hypocrite. But to be clear, I do care about mineral extraction, and I try to make choices as a consumer that limit my (relatively small) effect on the overall market.

I have quite a few friends who work in the cryptocurrency space (either at ICO'd firms or as professional auditors), so I'm familiar with the economics of choosing clean energy sources. But that neither factors in the net increase in grid demand nor the double-bind of hydro power in places like China. So I don't think we're off the hook, morally speaking.

It's true that the most successful cryptocurrencies doesn't generate revenue to any _one_ business, but that's because it is open source and the tokens themselves are sold on secondary markets, not by the developers themselves.

Okay.
In the 80:s, when I was a child, I was part of study about something called DAMP - Deficits in Attention Motor control and Perception). The DAMP diagnosis was roughly similar to ADHD, and kind of a precursor to it, invented by psychologists in the university in the city I grew up on. Back then, this Swedish university was very influential in the area of child psychology. Several renowned text books are written by researches on this university and so on. Luckily for me, I was part of the control group and not among the kids they thought suffered from DAMP.

Anyway, Gillberg the professor who led the study had promised all participating families total anonymity. But in the mid nineties, other researchers started to doubt the veracity of Gillberg's results. They thought they had found flaws in his methodology and wanted access to the raw material to double-check his results. Gillberg refused, realizing that anonymizing the data sufficiently so as to not leak any identifying details would be impossible.

Eventually, the other researchers went to court and got a court order demanding that Gillberg give up his data. At which point he destroyed all the raw data thereby completely removing any scientific underpinnings the DAMP diagnosis had. There is a lot more to be said about this controversy, but one thing is clear and that is that you shouldn't promise anonymity if you can't keep it.
I’m sure I’ll get buried for this, but it’s a shame that as a whole, we’ve spent billions of dollars, created tons of carbon, and wasted untold man hours on this blockchain and digital coin fad. At least nobody can say the concept wasn’t fully explored.
People here saying the underlying concept is worth a allot. I don’t see the use cases for a distributed consensus algorithm outside of coins. Even a distributed ledger shared by multiple companies is probably not useful compared to the status quo. You can always shove a square peg into a round hole, it could go in but is it making the situation better?
I wanted to start with the basic usecase and validate the idea if it will be useful. Now that i see there are lot of people found it useful, i will try to add these additional usecases aswell. Thanks for the feedback.

"The Internet was done so well that most people think of it as a natural resource like the Pacific Ocean, rather than something that was man-made. When was the last time a technology with a scale like that was so error-free? The Web, in comparison, is a joke. The Web was done by amateurs."

What's so great about the web, that makes you say it is one of mankind's greatest inventions? I get that you think it is a "mirror of society," but is that very great? AFAIK, the web is mostly used to 1) browse memes and 2) get informed on new things to be outraged about. I'm genuinely curious what expectations you see the web as having "greatly surpassed."
Thanks, thats one things i'm not very good at. still learning!

There absolutely was an epidemic of hijackings, in the 1970s. Then new laws were put in place banning weapons from planes.

That's the system that was in place up until 9/11, and it was run by private airport security. The TSA was a response to that.

But it wasn't the only conceivable response. Changes to private security screening rules would have been another option. The TSA isn't just there in a vacuum. And if people who try to sneak items past it can succeed, then its mandate isn't very effective.

Part of why another 9/11 hasn't happened is that terrrorists know that people know that hijackings can be very deadly. So people wouldn't be so passive anymore. The 9/11 hijacking was done with box cutters. That feat couldn't be repeated again, even with box cutters on the plane.

For this reason, a long term goal of mine is to move to New Zealand. In retrospect, we probably had a more likely chance than not of the Cold War turning nuclear. There were several extremely close calls averted by dumb luck.

In the next Cold War, especially in light of instability from climate change, we might not be so lucky.

Also, this is a very frequent topic here on HN. A lot of people complaining, some suggesting similar things as everywhere on the Internet.

I am really surprised there is this gap here. Maybe it's because anything targeted to fight social isolation is bringing strange people in? It's natural to meet people in college, but meetups are known for bringing creepy people in that only want to hit on women.
Didn't CryptoKitties bring the Etherium network to its knees? Not saying the issues aren't solvable, but can't we agree that nothing "never goes down," especially complex distributed systems.
There's no competitive Jaguar EV yet. It's not competitive until it's actually out there competing, with a margin above costs, in quantities above 1,000 a month at sedan prices. Right now it's a concept car being shown around; you can't buy one and have it delivered, the announced model will be high-end and c'mon man: seriously, there's no shortage of EV concept EVs in the world now.

From an article published today: "The I-Pace SUV, launched this week..."
"I-Pace starts at $119,000, about $35,000 below the Model X, Tesla’s SUV."
"Test drives of I-Pace started this week..."
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/motoring/jaguar-makes-...

And within a few days: "While the I-Pace is an athletic prodigy, it doesn't do much to advance the EV state of the art. The sole battery pack, a 90.0-kWh unit, is EPA rated for 234 miles between charges. Tesla's Model X earns a 238-mile rating with a 75.0-kWh battery, and a Chevy Bolt covers that distance with just 60.0 kilowatt-hours. Perhaps the Jag's inefficiency is the price you pay for an EV that doesn't look like a suppository."

Why shill for this firm? It's really great at hyping itself. Production is the test, it may happen, and Jaguar might even be able to compete at the very high end: but it's not out there competing now, and won't be trying sedan sales for years, if ever.

You only have a second-mover advantage if you have a better tech that can leapfrog the first tech; Google did, Watt did, Westinghouse did but this is the exception, not the rule.
Yes, useful but doesnt have official embassy link, visa application link, fees link and document checklist, which i think are super useful for many.
I also spotted what I believe to be inaccurate about Vietnam. I think passport holders of some countries can visit without a visa for up to 14 days, but if you're travelling for longer, visa is required.
No, you can't spend Bitcoin at Amazon. They don't accept it.

The others depend on whether they choose to accept it or not. It's not the same as legal tender, where they must accept it.

much of ideas behind bitcoin itself was to replace traditional financial system. and traditional financial system is not zero energy use industry. in fact it uses a lot of energy. rough comparison from 2017 - https://hackernoon.com/the-bitcoin-vs-visa-electricity-consu...

granted - having both traditional and crypto financial system at the same time is net negative, but we can't really switch one on and another off instantly.
I have an iMac, iPad, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods...and so on. My friends and family also have Apple devices in their homes. My workplace is 100% Mac.

There's no chance I'm getting anything but an iPhone, for those and a number of other reasons.

With that being said, there are significant improvements year over year in the camera hardware used across the industry regardless of manufacturer. There's also really innovative stuff going on in camera software and computational photography from both Google and Apple among others (shoutout to Halide Camera).

I'm not going to swap out my entire phone operating system and integrated workflow for a single software-feature like Night Sight (even though I think it's very cool).

I was just making a statement about how smartphone cameras (as a category) will continue to get more impressive through a combination of software and hardware. The step function improvements in the camera experience alone are enough for me to consider upgrading even if the rest of the experience is only marginally better. The point being that even as someone with more expensive cameras and lenses, the camera on a phone is still extraordinarily important to people like me because it's the camera we end up having with us all the time.

I get that you really want to turn this into an Apple vs Android thing, but I'm going to play that game with you.
Everyone seems to be seeing this as an Android vs. iOS debate, but I see it as a smartphone vs. dedicated device debate. If you're serious enough about photography, you don't complain about your smartphone camera's limitations, you get yourself a DSLR and multiple lenses. So if you're this serious about music, why not get a dedicated device? Look at what companies like HiBy and Hidizs are doing. I have, and my ears haven't been this happy since the early aughts.
Good work! Just something I reacted to as a Swede is that the Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are listed as separate countries. Citizens of these areas hold Finnish or Danish passports respectively.
Also, compare OS updates: Android has significantly more critical security fixes than iOS, every single time.

Maybe it means they are finding more bugs and fixing them, or maybe it means Android is basically security Swiss cheese. my money is on the latter.
I wanted to first validate the idea, now that its proven useful, i will add these features aswell. Thanks for the feedback.
Bookmarked. Thanks for this!

Some feedback based on first impression:

The title on the front page says "Find countries to travel to" but then I'm suppose to specify my "home country", which I find just _slightly_ counter-intuitive. I'd suggest to change it up a bit so that I can specify home country and, optionally, a destination I have in mind. Then I'd get results specific for that country only (including, eg, transit visas). I'd also replace "home country" with "citizenship", since I may have a passport of one country, but live in another (which is fairly common in some parts of EU, for example). Many people also have dual citizenship.
This is somewhat tangential to the specific issue here, but I was surprised by this:

At the center of the Sun, fusion power is estimated by models to be about 276.5 watts/m3. Despite its intense temperature, the peak power generating density of the core overall is similar to an active compost heap, and is lower than the power density produced by the metabolism of an adult human.[1]

So practical fusion power requires producing much higher power densities than are found in the Sun.

My previous company (AirFox) did an ico, we had a bank account, and we sold everything. We also did KYC/AML for all purchasers. Most of the USA firms did.

However, the SEC also just settled with AirFox for selling unregistered securities, so that didn’t exactly go as planned!

> I don't think the web has changed

> I do think the amount of shitty content on the internet, and unregulated/moderated social media makes the problem a lot worse, because it’s harder to find interesting things in an ocean of shit

The change is not that the good content is gone, it's that the noise level has risen significantly. That "ocean of shit" is the change you don't think exists.

most of these bankruptcies are due to firms holding reserves in crypto. I don't think all companies combined spent that much of resources on employees in recent years, and most of the lost money is due to plummeted market, and that means that someone else got these resources to deploy more efficiently. so not all is lost in waste human work (if we would agree that it is indeed waste human work, which I personally do not agree with)

also, all that money spent on human work ended up in someones else pocket to spend further. In a way it is a "bitcoin tax on capitalist (or wanna be capitalists)"
