I've seen this sentiment on HN several times before. Just about any time there is an article discussing problems with the state of news, the most prevalent conversations on HN are always about how much better life is when you don't know what is going on. They argue that being informed isn't going to change anything, and yet they're perfectly happy to opine at length about whatever slice of current events happens to make it to the front page of HN as if they have all the context they need.

He went to Harvard. He described his own high school efforts as "mediocre grades". Clearly smart and driven, but taking lessons from his experience is probably unwise.

Try it yourself if you don't believe me... I dare you!

Lay down in a comfortable place. Begin breathing deeply and comfortably but quickly, leaving no pauses at the top or bottom of your breaths. Keep a steady rhythm of 1-2 breaths/second. Keep doing this for up to 5 minutes... or as long as you can stand to. Well within 2 minutes your lips and hand muscles will cramp up.

That's tetany, and it's a very clear sign of respiratory alkalosis. No pH meter necessary!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_alkalosis

You are free to keep going if you can handle the intense and unusual sensations. It will get more intense. Take it as far as you'd like. At some point you may begin to experience some psychological discomfort, so I'd err on the side of caution if you are easily spooked by unfamiliar states of mind.

I've experienced quite severe tetany from controlled and deliberate hyperventilation ("bioenergetic breathing"/"round breathing"/"breath of fire"). When I did this exercise, I was involuntarily convulsing as my lips and hands became uncontrollably tensed and misshapen. It's surprisingly easy to do and is an extremely powerful experience.

After doing this exercise I felt a profound sense of well-being and relaxation as I laid and stretched in the sun.

---

Let me state more clearly my point: eating or drinking a certain way in order to moderate your blood pH is useless if you're not paying attention to your breathing habits.

Breathing is an actual way to quickly alter your blood pH.

By the way, on the flip side, some people might experience blood acidosis because of hypoventilation:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/...

> Hypoventilation in the absence of alkalosis to inhibit ventilatory drive is a primary respiratory problem. This can result from CNS depression caused by trauma or by some drugs that inhibit respiratory drive such as barbiturates. Hypoventilation increases PCO2 and leads to acidosis. There can be no respiratory compensation for a primary respiratory problem.

You don't need to be an astronaut or scuba diver to have CNS depression/trauma. I can attest to that personally.
Hello I am interested. Won't you make an android version for it?
Nice works mate! I will download and use your software :) No need for the gift card ;)
I could see an argument about WSL being that. But making your software work on the linux desktop/server? I really don't see how that lets you get into a position toward extinguishing anything.
> The 2nd doesn't follow from the first

We'll have to disagree on that. I did not assert there is a 100% correlation. I did mean to imply there is a high one.

> many Christians don't believe that miraculous events still happen.

I reject that assertion. I believe nearly all Christians engage in intercessory prayer at least once in a great while. Doing so shows they believe in the possibility their prayer coming true.

> It doesn’t follow from that premise that these people were against removing her feeding tube because of that belief--

You are overlooking the fact the main court challenges were by her parents on the basis she was not brain dead when in fact as a point of knowledge she was. They held the belief she might recover even after numerous experts and medical scans showed the damage was irreconcilability permanent. They then went further to cloak the case in religious themes. There were several organizations with strong ties to faith healing working with her parents. There was a large volume of innuendo and direct appeal to faith healing for the duration of the event. Some of it's even still around if you look.

This was similar to the Dover intelligent design case in that the side holding supernatural belief doesn't come straight out and say what their true beliefs are, and for good reason. Instead they attempt to sow uncertainty in court, in hopes of what they belief will come true.

> there was no national debate about miraculous healing.

You're right on that mostly, but only because it's very rare to find the open questioning of another Christian's supernatural beliefs in America. Even Mormons are generally afforded that. I won't speculate as to why that is.

Tools affect how you think. If you have got a hammer then every problem is a nail. If you have got a screwdriver then you don't realise that it might be a chisel you need, or a tyre lever or a paint stirrer.

jQuery is a layer of extra stuff on top of javascript. It was great in the days before standards compliant browsers as it spared you from having to learn the quirks of every different browser and you could get on with the task in hand knowing that your code would work.

But this came at a price of not knowing how to do things with javascript. Javascript has changed. You can now actually select stuff pretty easily and do those animations with CSS instead of with some jQuery. HTML5 means you can use the native form validation things and you don't need to validate on the frontend with some jQuery code. Then when you submit the form you can use fetch instead of the once incredible jQuery ajax wrappers.

Sometimes well meaning tools that make everything easy are only any good if you know how the well meaning tool works. An analogy, a server with a 'cpanel' control panel. Great in principle but there is a sea of icons and you have to know how to do things the special 'cpanel' way. Which is fine, but if you know the command line and what to type on it then you are going to be done before you have found the icon in the intuitive interface of cpanel. Plus, if you don't know what you are doing, things are documented for doing stuff the command line way, they aren't if you are doing it with the special icons. The longer you spend mastering 'cpanel' the less likely you will learn the command line way and therefore not feel comfortable without it.

As mentioned tools are great but they affect how you think and how you solve problems.

So it is not a question of not being hip. We just don't need the arm bands and extra guard rails any more.

I think it's not really needed in today's browser landscape unless you're working on a team that uses it.

I prefer fetch, document.querySelectorAll, and animate.css for 90% of what you would need with jQuery.

Migrate from jQuery to React. You make it sound trivial but it is essentially a complete new way of developing the front-end. Not necessarily a SPA, but certainly a front-end with more interactivity than a few buttons and dialogs.

In my experience React front-ends are more driven by separate data retrieved and stored at the server, while jQuery front-ends are mostly server-side rendered and jQuery is used for some degree of dynamic flexibility.
Can average TV speakers emit sounds outside the frequency of human hearing? I didn't think they could.
I would actually argue that it's more meta than you're saying. The people who are unplugging are largely arguing that the majority of todays "fast media" is unverified, poorly sourced, and otherwise low quality. By consuming it ravenously you may feel informed (and angry, because anger is mostly what sells), but you still don't actually know what's going on. So it's easier to be happy by just accepting that you can't learn what's really going on from the media and quit listening to it.

Although to be fair this belief is nothing new. Per Mark Twain, "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you're mis-informed."

I don't have much to say regarding your work issue with IPv6 and a K8S cluster. However, I do have some comments regarding DNSSEC:

As I understand it, there you have basically 3 options for local DNS w/ DNSSEC - 1) you can run a local recursive resolver, such as BIND; 2) You can use a non-validating stub resolver which requires that you trust the the recursive resolver you use _and_ the channel to the resolver; or 3) You can use a validating stub resolver. The problem with option 3, is that I don't believe it's possible to do DNSSEC validation for a record without fetching a bunch of parent records - so you end up running something that looks a lot like a recursive resolver with a cache, so, its really not clear to me why someone would do this over option 1.

Anyway, that basically leaves you with two options: a recursive DNS server or you have to trust the recursive server that you do use and the channel to the server. While its fine to run your own recursive server if you want to, there are legit reasons someone (such as myself) wouldn't want to - its another service to manage and it may not perform as well as a shared cache in a recursive server someone else is maintaining. What that leaves me with, is that I want to use a non-validating stub resolver and I suspect that is true for most people as well.

Unfortunately, as DNS traffic is not encrypted, when I use a non-validating stub resolver, it's easy for anyone that can eaves drop on my traffic can log where I'm going. Anyone that can modify traffic, can send me whatever responses they want. It doesn't matter if the domain I request is protected by DNSSEC if someone in the middle sends me back a bogus response that my resolver has no way to verify.

DoH actually works alongside DNSSEC in some situations - by encrypting the channel between my stub resolver and a validating recursive resolver, it means that DNSSEC validation can't be easily stripped out by someone that controls whatever local network I'm connected to.

Even with a local validating recursive resolver, you have little protection against NXDOMAIN substitutions and the like unless the domain you are talking to has DNSSEC enabled. However, DNSSEC is being slowly deployed and, in my opinion, it's very unclear if it will ever get to 100%. Unless it does, something like DoH still has value in protecting users from interference on the local network for non-DNSSEC domains.

My points: I don't think that a Local DNSSEC resolver running on everyone's computer is realistic; DoH actually benefits DNSSEC by securing the channel between a stub resolver and a validating recursive resolver.

Google News is a very useful tool for a lot of people trying to find coverage from sources other than the select few that they might often frequent. I use it to find how international articles affect my country, my area, etc. I also use it to find articles in other languages.

Aside from that, Google News content is heavily integrated into the normal Google Search pages. It's not simply a matter of simply ignoring it; Google makes their Google News results some of the top results for searches for current events.
The same is true of this billionaire's net worth.

No, because while you own your house, the billionaire owns every house on the block. What happens when all of those houses get liquidated at once? First, local market is flooded, they no longer hold their original value. More importantly, and the part of the quote you left out, is that in this analogy, the houses can no longer be rented and a revenue stream dries up.

So no, it’s nothing at all like your home equity.

It is theoretical because it is based on the estimated, guessed, or made up value of assets. If all you have to your name is $100, your net worth is $100. If all you have to your name is a used Nintendo Switch, your net worth is theoretically $100.

Or they could do actual research instead of reading the "news" - which largely amounts to professional blogging these days. Following the news does not make one more knowledgeable about politics or current events necessarily. Some of the most ill-informed people I know watch news regularly.

Hmm, mass communication wasn't easy back in the time the First Amendment was written and the problem was "we don't have enough free communication". You could just as well argue that it wouldn't exist if written today.

There were never practical limits on 1:1 communication even in the worst dictatorship because you can't have a policeman in every house. The first amendment was always about public discourse.
The Supreme Court example isn't very good, because you can't act on the outcome in a sensible democratic way.

A better example would be news that brings X to attention, so you can voice concern to the government. Or in the case where politicians are the focus of attention, it can affect your voting choice.

E.g. the internet filter law proposal in Europe. It's not practical for me to review every individual piece of legislation, so I rely on journalists/news platforms to highlight the important bits. As a consequence of the MEP vote I have now blacklisted one political party I considered moderate before. They will never get a vote or a good word from me again, ever.

Other examples you could have mentioned are stuff like the Panama papers and Wikileaks. If I heard a local construction company was funneling money to tax havens, I'd email my municipality and/or IRS.
This plays counter to the popular idea that rich people are hoarding their wealth in cash. They don't, the money is all in investments which create things and employ people.

I think the reason why this discussion causes so much resentment is the failure to acknowledge that people don't only get rich thanks to their parents and the implied accusation that wealth is the result of privilege, not effort.

I think the American point or view is skewed by politics and the fact that the country didn't have catastrophic events in the last century or so.

My parents and grandparents have zero wealth because they have been born in a socialist country, and I have 100k in savings by age 30 which I consider a huge achievement. Surely you can see why I might be appalled by the suggestion that my money was earned unfairly and more socialism is the answer.
That also runs counter to the popular narrative that wealthy families only grow wealthier.
I have started reading the news differently in recent months. If the story seems to incite outrage, I paint all actors in the story as acting in good faith. This is obviously not true, but it helps break the cycle of feeling like the world is going off the rails, and I think it is a good method for figuring out what's actually going on.
I’m not sure why you are being downvoted. I do not have any reason to believe men are any more resilient to harassment than women are.

The fundamental point of the argument that software wasn't to blame was that the problem wasn't with the way the software was implemented, but with the way it was specced, and that it was performing to spec, and therefore blaming the software was pinning the blame on the wrong folks as the software folks didn't write the spec (and the people who wrote the spec didn't control the factors that led to the need for the spec, etc).

> We should want and expect software engineers to have the agency and bigger-picture thinking to do more than just design for inadequate inputs.

Saying software engineers should have bigger-picture thinking doesn't help if the software engineers aren't empowered by management to make the necessary changes.
If the going price for a used Nintendo Switch is $100 then that is your net worth, not your “theoretical“ net worth. You don’t get to redefine common phrases with specific definitions.
I dont want google to preload ANYTHING for me. Thanks.
While it might not be exactly equal to $100 cash. That Nintendo switch still represent real value. The value could be based on what the market price.

You seem to assume that jquery isn’t already cached by the client. Given the widespread usage, while granted may be shrinking, the “bundle” may never be downloaded again; Assuming that’s the case, the download is moot, and more favorable, verses the SPA with some cache busting mechanism (that may release once per week or once per hour).
"Regressive" is not a synonym for "flat" - a flat tax is neither progressive nor regressive. And these terms are purely descriptive, defined via their effect on the effective tax rates.

That seems to redirect me to the same page linked earlier in this thread (https://myaccount.google.com/security). Taking a look in my admin console, it looks like "Allow users to turn on 2-step verification" is unchecked, so presumably 2-step verification is not enabled for this account. That's exactly what I want, but it seems Google is failing to abide when they think I'm a "hacker". Other people have had the same frustrations[0][1] but there is apparently no way to stop Google requiring additional verification at their whim. Ultimately that means Google controls when I can and can't login to my account, so it ceases to be a usable product for me.

I appreciate your help, though!
