Ok, that's fair, but maybe only for a tiny percentage of the cases?

Setting up such a "content farm / honeypot" and making it reach the top results of Google/Bing/Yandex/etc... used to be simple but is nowadays probably successful in only very few cases (as search engines are nowadays more and more context-aware), and Google/Bing/Yandex/etc... can still see & use "how to deal with my XXX infection", but whoever doesn't use directly their services cannot.

What I mean is that, in my opinion, the privacy measures in this case centralized even more power in the hands of few companies with very little added/improved privacy.

In my case, running a small techy website, the search keywords were very useful because they allowed me to understand e.g. which keywords forwarded the users to my website by mistake or correctly, to then correct appropriately the contents of my articles to make it more clear what my articles were talking about, or to see that the users had a very specific problem that I did not take into consideration when I wrote a certain article, etc... . Now I cannot see those infos anymore without using Google Analytics which I don't want to use (or, by using the plugin mentioned above, which is good, but for which I would still have to pay $/year, which is bad as it increases fixed costs).
Dumb question: Can it run a 2FA app (not over SMS) like Duo or Google Authenticator?
Is this the new superpower 2020?

I have heard the same horn be tooted in India over the last 2 decades, and India is no closer to the that goal than it was 2 decades ago.

The problems India faces can't be solved in 20 years. 1 generation for that is too little.

I do however think that India will undergo a massive push ahead the second we have a few cities where expats can return to without incurring a major loss in QOL or effective wages.
> Does more engagement equal app usefulness...

Obviously no. I think it is fairly obvious that there are many apps that are highly engaging that are a huge waste of time for many people.

This is fair, and not inconsistent with other public speeches I've found, which mention the failures of "Pan-Islamism" and spurn the idea of a caliphate. So I think I was off base about Ataturk. He was also a hardcore nationalist by any modern standard, which helps a lot when trying to get people in a nation to do stuff. I still think that, in the US at least, sneering at religion or defining it against science is a terrible way to further science.

There are really 2 types of "religious" people in the US [1], the "USA #1 + God" group, and the "church every week" type. These need to be approached a bit differently, I think. The first group's opinions really fall into the existing political polarization issues more than any explicitly faith-based concern. In both cases, understanding and using the groups' language would help a lot to communicate science.

"Best practices" is a bit of a red herring. Every company differs considerably, and online blogospher experts throw the term around as sort of a gatekeep-y way to keep the order ("What do you mean you don't know (arbitrary) best practices??!?!") The only way to learn best practices is to work at multiple companies / projects.

For example, I worked at Intel, Lucent, Apple and DEC. Each one had significantly different "best practices". When I look at how we did code there vs something like, oh, the GNU project, they were WORLDS apart. So even if you made the claim, you'd still fall short from the new environment.

If you're lucky, eventually YOU'LL be the one defining best practices.
I'm waaay past trusting that network. I tell companies to text or email me. And texting is also starting to get spammed out.

Right now, I can't even use apps like Hiya that implement prefix blocking. My method right now is to forward ALL calls to a google voice number, and those are transcribed or what-have-you. If you don't leave a message, I don't care about you.

We need a signal, at the highest of levels to basically make the decision on what's going to happen to the phone network, because honestly, a brand new system is what I expect at this point, not a patch.
Doesn't reducing spam phone calls directly hurt their bottom line?
Esketamine doesn’t have the same activity as racemic or Arketamine (S- hits some of the dopamine receptors harder and doesn’t bind with the sigma ones iirc). Patients seem to find esketamine more pleasant because of this and it’s eliminated faster than R- so patients can (probably) get back to normal faster.

(Edit: had my right from left mixed up. It’s been a while)
From what I remember from the Hamilton's Pharmacopeia episode on Ketamine, this synthesis is actually quite complex and a high-yield synthesis (which is presumably being used currently by manufacturers) is not published in publicly available literature.

However, ketamine is widely used as an anesthetic, so I think the "cheap to make" refers to Ketamine redirected from the pharma market to illicit channels, in which case "making" ketamine is just drying the solution to crystalize the sole ingredient.

I don't think it exists, the reason is that if your user agent is Linux you can download the ISO using a browser, so there is no big inconvenience.

If you are running Windows though, Microsoft will actively redirect you away so that you cannot download the ISO.

One might argue that downloading the script on other OSes is more hassle than visiting the Microsoft website to download the ISO...
I wouldn't say that... I'll often put in "for next time, look at..." type advice in Pull Requests from more junior coworkers. Sometimes working is more important than ideal.

It's when a Junior-Mid dev has to add a feature that's made difficult by their own choices and then rethink to make things better they tend to learn. That said, plenty of Jr-Mid devs don't advance with more practice, they stay jr-mid.
Everyone else likely missed it, but I want you to know I appreciate this joke.
Well... faster than what exactly? You have to do the virtual DOM pattern (generating new DOM state and then diffing with old state) with virtual elements. You can't compare proper virtual dom to using real DOM elements instead of virtual ones in a virtual dom pattern, it wouldn't make any sense.

But there are other non-virtual-DOM ways to manage DOM state efficiently and in a maintainable manner. For example, my own library uses Observables to drive precise DOM updates and works with trees holding real (not virtual) DOM elements, so it doesn't need to do any diffing at all: https://github.com/raquo/Laminar

I don't think it's a given which of these techniques would be faster, it depends heavily on the particular use case and the implementation of diffing (for virtual DOM) and Observables (for my pattern). If both are well optimized I'd expect virtual DOM to lose in a lot of cases.

As someone who has gone down that road (and managed to get off), I can't emphasize enough how important it is to not take those drugs forever.

It simply isn't possible, at some point your tolerance will become so high you will be forced to find something else. The withdrawals from benzodiazapenes are some of the worst of any drug and will require medical intervention in order to keep your seizure threshold properly regulated.

The Ashton Method has worked miracles for many including myself.

It is hard to find a doctor who will support you with that treatment, but I went through it and am successfully benzo free now.
I admittedly didn't test the response times between the two, but just felt adding additional dependencies was unnecessary. I don't realistically expect the speed to be too different between the two, but the less I have to rely on external libraries the better. If I can get the job done with urllib3 why use Requests?

Though admittedly, after reading OPs statement, I see that Requests might actually have some extra security that urllib3 alone might not have. But barring security improvements or the need for extra features that Requests has, seems like using Requests for my usecase would be adding unnecessary complexity.
There's a lot of great phones in the $200 range today. I've helped a few friends buy one at MVNO's like MetroPCS, and they walked out with a 5"+ fast Android under $200 and it always impresses me what they get for 1/6 the price of the phone I carry.
It's curious that for my first software enterprise I'm already doing those things. It's a lot of A. just starting, B. pushing through pain, C. keep pushing.

Strangely, there have been very few customers who have been unhappy. Many have even written long glowing reviews that have had a great positive impact in profits.

Those who give negative feedback seem to always have a problem or a pain. Being kind of a bloodhound to discover what that pain is and where did it come from seems very valuable.

Two most difficult things for me seem to be: A. drawing borders and limits on my time and what to do and when to say no, B. pricing

They say just surviving long enough mean you win, but turning a business to make profit seems really a herculean task, even as a solo dev.
I want a "good cheese, good wine, good bread" price comparison metric. By that measure, my money in the US only goes like 1/2-1/3 as far as the same amount in France, since it takes about 2-3x the money to consistently match the quality of their bog-standard stuff in those categories. Usually a good bit of travel time, too, in the case of bread. :-(

[EDIT] actually 3x might be low on the bread. 3.5-4x, probably, around here, to get a baguette that's on par with your average Parisian one, for instance. You don't even hit "kinda OK" until $4 or so, and you're still not guaranteed to be getting something that tastes like a baguette at all, let alone a decent one, at that price. Croissants too. I've had exactly one in my city that was close to the real thing and it was crazy expensive. They burnt it, though. So close, yet so far.
In my 20s. I suppose it's remotely possible that I contracted HSV since then without ever having any symptoms, but my understanding of HSV is that with all forms the initial infection is obvious so that's quite unlikely.

We're not talking about HPV, which I (and you) very likely have wether we know it or not, without vaccination.

If you sit in the niche that needs C++, cool for you.

For everybody else there IS a better language. There is zero reason to saddle yourself with the baggage of C++ in this day and age if you don't have to.

I’m moving back to India soon (NYC -> Mumbai). My quality of life will likely increase; wages will not even be close (savings rate might be the same though). Which cities are on your mind for this?
Can't speak for others and this is not indicative of the idea not having merit but...

For me, I wouldn't. I've owned multiple properties and have rented out those properties without much issue. If anything at a certain scale having a reliable yet affordable option for property management makes more sense. I just never got to that point to feel about the existing property management companies in my area.

I've considered that, but times have changed and unlike 25 years ago, there aren't payphones dotting the urban landscape, and people make plans expecting to be able to contact you when you're already out in the world and away from your computer. For the once or twice a month that I need a phone, it's a necessary evil.

Same with the definition of mental conditions. Yet people wield the DSM as science and use it to bludgeon people who are not politically in line with their worldview on mental health
Depends if they're thinking short term or long term. I think I've seen numbers showing phone calls are dropping already. Increasing spam will exacerbate that.
Uggh, 330e for a candybar phone. Oh right it has designer ringtones and it's monochrome icons have been drawn millimeter perfect. Let's be serious, one of the major feature people (or maybe let's say me) want when switching to a dumbphone is a "no bullshit" design. Low-tech means to seek to be standard, have normal screws, basic modem, widespread battery, default form factor, nothing fancy. The fact they put so much into branding and marketing says a lot about how superficial this "focus on your real task" is. I don't want a tool i will like, i want a tool i can use.

I personally use a double-sim 2G nokia 216 i got for ~50e. Has a flashlight, can hold some music, has radio, low-def photo, timers. edge is painfully slow and no hotspot ability so i actually disconnect from internet when i'm not in some kind of office: no email, no chat, concise sms, i'm forced to call people and i'm rediscovering how talking actually works well for efficient communication.
Usually if you are the smartest person in the room it's time to move on to a new job, otherwise you are only hurting yourself especially when you are still in the early stages of your career where you'd want to learn fast.

Otherwise I'd suggest to look at projects that the "community" deems well written.
I really want to get the MP02 but the reviews on /r/punkt are all pretty damning.
No. When you get a spam call, the caller ID is often not random. It's usually the number of some other person on the spam caller's list of people to call, often someone from your same area code. That way, you see a call from your area code and are more likely to answer it. If you get upset and call it back, you won't be calling the spammer. You'll be calling some other innocent victim of the spammer.
Yes - a contact whitelist is all I want from iOS with two features: a button to temporarily allow all calls for 30min (for Uber/door dash) and the option to allow a second call to come through from an unknown number if it’s within 2min of the first.

All other calls should go to voicemail by default.

The way Apple allows you to interact with CallKit makes this hard to implement because a blacklist of numbers is required and a blacklist of all numbers is huge.
I just never answer calls or listen to voicemail anymore. I use WhatsApp etc. and give folks that ID. Maybe in a few years the phone companies will implement some of cool stuff mentioned in the article but until then phone calls from everyone are blacklisted.

Ask HN: When is a [dupe] not a dupe?
For what it's worth, it seems to me that posts are being marked [dupes] unhelpfully. For example, recent posts linking to articles about Beto O'Rourke's hacker past are being marked as [dupe] even though they may offer unique analysis or perspective. The interesting thing is not the report of what has happened, but the interpretation or analysis. Varieties of valuable interpretation/analysis are sometimes missed when posts that are only superficially related by subject matter are marked [dupes]. Not a huge deal obviously, but HN might be helped by a slightly more judicious use of the [dupe] marker.

General relativity, or maybe some stuff that Ramanujan figured out? But probably other people would have eventually figured those things out if they thought about them long enough. In general I think the answer is no. There's a fascinating book called The Sociology of Philosophies that explores this question. The author's main idea is that intellectual ideas arise from competition and variation among different intellectuals who are related to each other through intellectual networks and that only ideas that are creative, but not too creative, get remembered and extended, refined, or rebutted and passed on to later generations of scholars.
IIRC most of the money spent on the development of a successful drug comes from the phase 3 clinical trial. R&D does make up a lot of a drug company's budget but that's because you do the R&D for the 10 drugs you start with, not just the 1 that makes it to market.
VS Code is often very favorably remarked on for its good, consistent performance. Azure Data Studio shares a lot of dependencies/components directly with VS Code and has what appears to be a very similar build infrastructure. Microsoft seems to have very good quality in their HTML/JS/Electron apps.
Yes, good point. Usually you can filter blogs by reading the comments and seeing the reception it got as well as the popularity. If it is an open source project, you can see the stars on GH and read through the issues on the repo to further filter. Books get outdated very quickly for modern tech stacks. I would recommend them for the fundamentals, but not contemporary stuff. You obviously have to do your due diligence here. Researching the author is also important obviously if you are going to truly heed their advice.
I've been using GV since it was Grand Central... love it. I really hope it doesn't get killed, I'd happily pay $25-30/year just for what google voice adds over regular phone service. If they do kill it, I'll probably do a virtual PBX to get at least similar services I can control.

As an aside, I showed the email thing to a coworker pretty early on, it was pretty wild in the old days.

> So if someone understands nothing about science at all, and worships it like a religion, at least they had the good sense of picking a religion that puts food on their table, makes their planes stay in the sky and makes them healthy again when they fall sick.

Religion has proven capable of welding large communities together, and that sort of shared belief system wins wars.

If you ignore the fact that the doctrine is more allegorical than factual, religion has a lot of utility when resources are scarce. Being part of a large group is frequently more important than being part of a technically correct group.

I think the last 200 years of history has demonstrated that science is a superior strategy, but it isn't obvious enough to be hand-waved. There is some evidence that to successfully abandon religion societies have to first have an ungodly surplus of resources. The new trend towards no religion hasn't been tested in a war yet either; back in WWII religious/nationalistic sentiment was famously high.
Because it's a platitude (as most other comments in this thread).
