> A medical report issued by the New York medical examiner's office a year after his death showed that Atkins had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension.[10][12] His widow refused to allow an autopsy

My point was mainly that there have been out-of-the-mainstream doctors advocating for this diet for 3 decades. They continue to be out-of-the-mainstream.
I don't know much about figma but you can save .fig files from the browser app to your hard drive (I just did it to check).

I'm not sure if any other apps can make use of .fig files so you may well still be tied to the app in that sense but you can at least own/archive your working files.

> No one can release anything Google disagrees with on Google Play

Recent Android versions made it ever easier to install apps without using the Play Store: I have F-Droid installed and whitelisted (so no warnings every time an apk appears), which required toggling a permission switch the system pointed out to me.

As for Chrome, apparently various vendors ship their own browser as default although it seems they still have to ship Chrome as alternative.
You write about Gmail as if no one had email before that. GMail doesn't have a single meaningful feature that other clients didn't have before. And those clients didn't completely redo the UI every 3 months whether you want it or not.
This has real upsides, but it’s a large part of why poverty is such an issue in Japan. It’s GDP was higher in 1995 for many reasons, but forgoing efficiency has real costs.
No, that is not the idea.

Unless you mean the idea is "how do we make it look like we're doing something about building performance without hurting volume house builders' feelings?".

The 'proper' solution all homes should be built with is low air permeability (no trickle vents) and a whole house ventilation system, ideally with a heat exchanger.
How about AFGA, then.
Sketch to me is like Sublime Text, every time I try a new shiny toy (figma, adobe xd, framer/vscode, atom) I keep coming back to Sketch/Sublime Text. I really like their latest big update, it made the UI so much cleaner and easier to use.

No assumptions. We were gathered around the TV in the conference room after the first one hit and part of the conversation was whether it was terrorism, since it was pretty obvious you don't just happen to ram into the side of the tallest building in the country.

But your comment is a non-sequitur regardless- even once we all knew it was a terrorist attack it was replayed endlessly on TV for months, including the people throwing themselves off the building.

I haven't watched any of the footage of the New Zealand attack, but to somehow say it is exceptional to watch the footage is historically speaking, incorrect.
We don't do enough adversarial testing.

We are increasingly reliant on systems that have poor closed loop behavior with little to no memory. We need to design systems that are redundant, that have short and long term memories and have domain knowledge to compare their internal understanding of the universe with. And these autonomic systems need to alert the operators on what they are doing, why they are doing it and how to turn it off.
Looks like an awesome read!
20% not being caught is surprisingly high to me. I would have assumed the majority of the upload attempts would be byte-for-byte identical, and that even if there were a dozen minor variations of the same content, they would be able to deal with >95% automatically.
There is never anything wrong with writing "n/a" in any kind of form. There was a long overlap during which any form that took contact details already had fields for email address and mobile phone number, but before either of those were as ubiquitous as they are today; nobody processing those forms ever ignored one with "n/a" for email address.

Granted, it might be less prudent to skip some fields than others, of course.

It looks like the 13 year old Thinkpad R60 I keep as a backup (mine also has a mini trackpad). With 3 gigs of RAM and a 480gig SSD. The first version of Windows 10 Pro works on it, but I can't get the Windows 10 Pro product key to work on it. More recent versions of Windows 10 Pro do not install on it.

Anyone know how to get a legal Windows 10 Pro product key working on the first (July 2015) version of Windows 10 Pro?
Similar video with a test pilot pushing a 707 pretty hard. Includes a barrel roll, which isn't hard on the aircraft, but unusual to see with a passenger aircraft.

My main point is that a global CPU graph helps you identify acute CPU consumption as it happens which is the main mechanism that helps me identify things like Spotify getting stuck in a spinlock or a browser tab devouring my battery. Seeing "Google Chrome" show up in Activity Monitor's energy chart when you check it periodically isn't as helpful.

Good point about iStat Menus consuming its own resources. It has two processes afaict with its main process staying below 1% CPU. I bet that number sees an increase once you start turning on more HUDs like the temp/fan sensors and jacking up the update frequency though.
Thanks. Looks like fun. Ordered it.
So this is actually about banging right?
Yes, huge companies can make their own stores by levering a huge hit game, lots of cash and opening the gaping security hole that is sideloading apps. Firefox could also be downloaded from getfirefox.com. That doesn't mean Microsoft didn't abuse their monopoly with IE.

Btw. also the same Epic that paid a developer to pull their game off Steam and make it exclusive to the Epic store after the game had had lots of advertisement on the Steam store. That is twice Epic has abused one store to promote their own. They are even worse than Google. At least Google pretends not to be scummy.

But that is beside the point.

NIMBYs seems to be the new slur for "exerting property and voting rights". That's democracy and capitalism.

Why Are Human Teeth So Messed Up? (2017)
It's a little of both, and some other factors as well. People joining risky ventures with vast visions all the time, in all kinds of places, you just never hear about the ones that fail. And for the companies that do succeed, especially in SV, there is always a post-hoc founder story told retroactively in order to keep the troops motivated and investor money flowing. If you actually look at FAANG they all started with very focused products with the vision scaling just ahead of their successes to propel hypergrowth for a long period of time. And doing so, btw, takes a lot more than just innovators, it takes an army of people who are mostly focusing on the right things at the right time.

The advantage of ex-Uber, ex-Airbnb folks is not that they are more innovative—it's that they have experience in solving the organizational problems of doubling the size of a company over and over and over again within a very short time frame. If you only get people who are good at making innovative small-scale projects then they'll hit a wall when the organizational challenges of hypergrowth suck all the productivity and alignment out of the team. If you get people who only have experience operating at huge scale they won't be able to prioritize short term goals needed to get and maintain traction.
TIL a community that votes on their own zoning laws is NIMBY just because you think you have the right to rent a cheap hotel room there.
I quite don’t get the math behind this. That’s a 50 person company with 100M of revenues. Their yearly operating costs are probably around 5M. Even if said revenues spanned 10 years they would still be making 5M in profit each year. Since they most likely have some amount of growth, last year’s profit has to be much higher than that.

Then why bother raising $20M? Isn't that amount a bit small compared to what they already made in yearly profit?

In the beginning, when Gmail was only accessible by invitation, the killer feature was the relatively huge amount of free storage it offered. 1 gigabyte vs 20 or 100 megabytes at other providers.
Consumers are multi modal, though. Many can't be bothered to dig in and debug or want a sleek highly integrated product. Some others care less for those things and want an upgradeable, repairable product.
It's my hope that economic solutions will find the resources accommodate both modalities.
People can do whatever they want, but if they're truly "highly capable" maybe they should try something a little more challenging than following the herd?

I hold no ill will against all of these people getting rich this way. Let's just not pretend like they're innovators, though.
> I know that Google is super powerful and has great products but what exactly are (if any) examples of Google showing anti-competitive behaviour?

At least at one point, they nagged you incessantly to install Chrome when you used Google Search. I would attribute Chrome's current dominance [1] to that fact, and that fact alone. That's uncannily like the anti-competitive behavior Microsoft was judged to have used to push Internet Explorer into a dominant position and drive Netscape out of the market.

[1] If Chrome had been allowed to grow its market share organically, I think would have still been popular, just not dominant. Firefox would have a bigger market share than it does now, for instance.
I’m interested to know what kind of software system you work on that you “need” github code to prove that a candidate is good. IMO your hiring practices need to include processes that can evaluate a candidate based on their talent and experience, and not what do in their spare time.

> GMail doesn't have a single meaningful feature that other clients didn't have before.

I'd say that its search-first paradigm to mail handling (and related to that, labels) was rather unusual at the time, and for the most part it still is.

Disclosure: I work at Google and get my regular exposure to GMail from there. I run and use my own mail server for everything that is not work.
"The chance you finish within a week is higher than the chance you finish within a day, but your chance is no higher after a day than before it."

You seem to be ignoring the fact you've just been spending a day rolling die, where if you had have rolled a 6 you wouldn't be back the next day.

That's survivorship bias.
No simulator accounted for a borked AoA sensor being able to nosedive the plane, or the altered aerodynamics from the different engine configuration.

So while yes, runaway trim is a thing, the circumstances under which an error could happen are substantially different.

For instance, a pilot could check the maintenance log book and see some work or inspection was done on the auto-trim subsystem. This would prime the pilot to be more on the alert for the possibility of trim misbehavior during the flight. Crisis averted, right?

But no pilot would look at an entry for an AoA sensor being off or worked on, and would think, "Boy, better look out for that safety system I never knew existed that could cause a trim runaway because my previously airworthyness agnostic AoA sensor is unreliable."

Flying and complex system diagnosis in time sensitive conditions requires extensive ahead of time mental model creation ahead of time.

Yes I'm using it myself but how is that making Google Play less of a monopoly? F-droid can't sell apps on the play store without using Google.

10 years ago I certainly would have purchased Google Search, Google Maps, Chrome and Gmail. I currently pay for Android. Nowadays there are a lot more alternatives that have caught and surpassed some of these products. I have switched back to Firefox and am currently switching to ProtonMail but yes Google has made quite a few amazing products that for years had no competition.

Regardless of whether they abuse their monopoly power or not, it is undeniable that Google is either a monopoly or member of an oligopoly in several areas, including: search, advertisement (adwords), email (gmail), cloud infrastructure (GCP), navigation (google maps), SaaS productivity suite (google docs), mobile operating systems (android), web browsers (chrome), etc.

Google certainly isn't as bad at abusing its monopoly power as it could be, but, well, it certainly isn't perfect either.

Doesn't necessarily take much of a budget to do these sorts if things. I've seen this for example in towns where the traffic light control boxes are colorfully painted by local artists.
The "or" in the question is a false dichotomy. Many historic examples of monopolistic abuse originated from market power that was initially acquired via excellence in innovation or execution.

Also many anti-competitive behaviors, like certain pricing/tying/bundling/cross-subsidization strategies, are perfectly legal for a small operator, but become illegal when a firm gains immense market power. And there is rarely a "bright line" for when a firm crosses that threshold, and the things it used to do become illegal. The firm pretty much has to wait for pushback via prosecution – actual or threatened – and of course will keep denying there's anything wrong with their habitual practices indefinitely, as a matter of corporate culture.

If you listen to Kanye's music, he is highly self-critical and introspective at many times. I think this is a type of fearlessness, specifically the ability to be so publicly vulnerable (though I don't know if that's what GP had in mind).

Kanye's public image is reflective more of the pressures of his industry and how our celebrity culture depicts famous artists. However I think it goes beyond that to broader social and economic factors. Consider how many conversations there are on HN about dealing with imposter syndrome; if you compare Kanye's media portrayal and his music, I think there are strong parallels many people here could identify with.
Hi I found your comment interesting. Yes, we have free speech forums where you can say and share anything without censorship. Yes, there are illegal things there although 99% of the content is legal. The idea is that you are in control of your own experience. You can & should blacklist entire sections of the website.

It's all peer-to-peer and onion routed. The only one who can censor things is the owner although moderators might be able to curate content on their boards (similar to what HN does). Oh, and if the owner throws away his private key then it will keep running just without new updates to the site.

People are afraid of freedom but it all works pretty well in the end.

Also, I agree with the Ayn Rand definition of free speech, i.e. the term censorship only applies to governments. When a company (such as Facebook) censors something they are really just expressing their private property rights.
I do mean the media platforms.

That 757 video was played on repeat for weeks on all of the major channels in 2001. Hundreds of people turning into a fireball over and over.

It made it real for us.

By hiding the video from ChristChurch, people have to imagine how awful the event was. And they'll fall back to the stylized Hollywood notions of violence as a reference point. There are no heroic close-ups in this footage (I found a copy).

If you want people to get upset about this and take action, you show them the truth. It would repulse almost everyone.

So, since a very very small part of Internet consumers venture out of the big social and old media sites, by not hosting it there they will never see it.
Call them AGFA and we can buy film from them.
> I know that Google is super powerful and has great products

I'd say Google used to be a whole lot better.

Chrome:

- how they push it (massive advertising, bundling etc)

- how they use their massive web properties to make other browsers look bad
> There are quite good reasons to not replace, not least of which is that replacement valves are nowhere as good as your native, particularly if it’s still functioning.

The flow dynamics of newer metallic valves (like the Onyx) are superior in many ways. Not the least of which is consistency and durability, with a reduced risk of aortic dissection. Always go with a metallic.

> can be a massive pain and cause other complications.

The complications are not from the valve, of course. The complications are from the surgery which can disrupt electrical pathways (scarring of the chambers) with a worst-case pacemaker (additional risks and effects). _AVOIDING THAT RANDOM STRUCTURAL RISK IS THE BREAKTHROUGH_

The blood thinner is a cautionary medication for the newer valves by policy, until there are a few decades of field data. That being said, taking Sodium Warafin can cause common side effects like light sensitivity and chronic constipation. The excessive bleeding is overblown for a standard long cycle INR target of 2-3. When you get over 4 (due to triple doses or some other unusual circumstance), you will start to have bleeds that don't stop easily, in my experience.
That isn’t what the article says. It concludes with this:

> In summary, this article shows that the idea that self-driving cars need to drive hundreds of millions of miles before we can be convinced that they are safe is full of flaws. It is misleading to just focus on fatality rates where many other correlated measures for reliability are available that are easier to measure. It is wrong to focus primarily on accidents; the focus should rather be placed on the avoidance of safety-critical situations.
Moving towards Medicare For All is bootstrapping a new system before tearing down the old one, as is many progressive policies (labor regulations, unions, etc).
It's harder like people think static typing is hard.

It's more about how many concepts you need to be aware of to write something. Garbage collection is a complex topic you can ignore at first, for example. Rust pointer management takes immediate investment. Even freeing pointers you can be lazy about at first. Rust makes it easier to write good code at the cost of making it hard to write bad code.
