Well this is alarming. Glad I ditched all our "teflon" coated cookware about a decade ago and have steered clear of store bought chocolate cake.
Thank You for Your insight. Yes performance was one of the bottle necks, took me few days to rewrite critical API calls from PHP to GO. Still load is higher than 0.5 seconds, but now it takes around 1.5-2 seconds to fully load. Will try to increase performance further
I ride extensively around the Providence, RI area. Cars are simply a scourge to biking here, at a time when we need less global and local pollution and we need to improve health via air quality and exercise.

We have VERY few protected lanes, mostly there are "sharrows" aka faded pictures of bikes on the road that do absolutely zilch. I am routinely honked at and ignorant/rude people yell things out of their car windows at me, usually because I'm going too slow/am in their way on the very narrow (designed before cars) streets. Cars simply dominate due to the wealth and political power of all the car owners (many of whom have Florida plates to avoid local taxes). Do any of the politicians even ride bikes to their legislature or have any understanding of cyclists' issues?

An illustrative example of our inadequacy is going in between two fantastic/picturesque protected paths: the East Bay Path along Narragansett Bay to the Blackstone River Path. You have to pass through 5+ miles of the urban and narrow streets of Providence, Pawtucket, and Central Falls. It's honestly a nightmare, I'd rather bring my car to transport my bike from one path to the other than ride in between myself, breathing in exhaust from old clunkers and trucks, experiencing road rage and petty rudeness, and of course nearly getting hit on multiple occasions.

Let's get our act together and make a network of protected lanes across the North East corridor. With electric bikes coming to the fore, I'm hoping more and more cyclists will be able to cover longer and longer ranges, thus facilitating low-emissions, healthy inter-city transport.
Hello,

Most mental illness is definitely society's product.

Without the immense pressure to conform to insane, abusive and destructive standards in combination with living in a harmful environment with poisonous "food" and "medicine" in competition with others who are likewise fighting to keep their head above water; I suspect most mental illness would disappear by itself.

Treating mental illness like some kind of natural law which can't be avoided, only stops us from finding the real causes and progressing towards a more humane society.

Ok, but what if your opponent also uses the Iocane Powder Strategy? Just the assumption they can puts you back at square one.

"You are using the Iocane Powder Stragety against me."

"I found it appropriate considering the terrain."
No just a growing understanding of a phenomenon that has likely existed as long as cognitive capabilities have.
may I ask which videogame did you use?
Would this cover a marketplace scenario? For instance, we use Connect and transfer a purchase balance to our Connect account users after a purchase is made. If we encounter a chargeback, we also have to come up with the full cost of the item sold to cover the loss because the seller has already been paid. I'm wondering if this new service would cover that scenario.
In what ways is the world worse?
"So why does it feel like the world is in decline? I think it is partly the nature of news coverage. Bad news arrives as drama, while good news is incremental—and not usually deemed newsworthy."

"The towns are typical of China’s command-led approach to its economy."
I've always been curious about initiatives like this.

What happens if there becomes resource exhaustion and similar problems? How would the safety of the inhabitants be ensured in events like that?
You’re kidding, right? A 15 minute daily meeting would’ve been wonderful. My average work week usually involved three or more 4am starts to travel, three or more after 3am finishes to catch up, 80+ hours at my desk and at least ten hours of meetings. Some weeks would see me spending every daylight hour sat with clients or development teams, and every dark hour pounding out code, emails and proposals. It took a lot of drugs to keep going.

Also, you say “every day”, but I suspect you’re not including weekends and the days people generally take as holidays. I spent far too many Christmases on conference calls, or launching sites (it’s the quietest commerce day between October and February), and weekends were a thing other people had.

I only slowed down (and finally quit) when the hospitalisations for starvation and dehydration started getting really frequent.

I’m through burnout now and out the other side - I no longer have any interest in being a productive member of society, no ambition, and I’m finally something like happy.

Either way, I’m sorry, 15 minutes of scrum a day is not a burden.
It's not one sided though. The colonists who brought disease over were also dying from the disease (and they didn't bring it over to explicitly wipe out the indigenous population). The destruction of the environment affects everyone, we pull our food from the same land as the indigenous peoples. And again, we didn't destroy the environment to explicitly wipe out indigenous populations. Indigenous people aren't alone in experiencing these issues, you can't just add them to your list to give weight to the "genocide".
There is worse misunderstanding/bikeshedding upwards in the thread, although it's more artfully worded. And at least one of the replies to this refers to useful resources. This is, in fact, exactly why math should be posted on HN.
Breaking up may be an early 20th-century solution, but it has the virtue of being a solution that works.

> Microsoft historically saw developers as customers they wanted to profit from

I think that's exactly why they've tended to be so developer-friendly.

Historically, there have been three categories of dev tool producers. There were the IBMs and friends, who packaged the dev tools as freebies baked into a product that was mostly marketed toward business folks, and only made life good for developers to the extent that the business folks demanded it. There were companies like Microsoft and Borland, who sold more directly to developers, and therefore put out some really nice, productive dev tools for those who could afford them. And there are the open source projects, which are by and for developers, and are therefore also generally quite nice as long as you don't mind the things that aren't fun to work on in your spare time being kind of janky.

Microsoft falling into category #2 does not make them inherently evil. Nor does it morally obligate them to market toward hobbyists. The prices they charged were high, but not unreasonable for corporations, especially given the level of support that tended to come with those packages.

Apple falling into something more akin to category #1 doesn't make them inherently good, either. It's just a part of their product strategy as a for-profit company. Besides, does anyone actually like working in XCode? Like all cost center-produced software, it's kind of famously flaky.
For me, the issue has a couple of layers:

First, there's little I can do about it, even if I'm not on gmail. So many people are, so Google has copies of most of my email even if I'm not using them.

Second, this is a small wrong in the world; I've literally never heard of political violence linked to someone's use of Gmail, while I have heard this about a variety of other services. It's a little disturbing, but there are "evil corp" things much closer to home that I reserve my change-the-world energy for.

Third, on a basic level, there's nothing wrong with this service, or any of the various privacy-invading services. The problem is that, right now, the mega-corps are all so unrestricted from passing my data around to one another, building giant profiles.

What I want is to be able to share my data freely with anyone, but for them to be heavily restricted from sharing it, under serious penalty, until I say it's okay. I want a cultural and legal shift around privacy to take place, so that companies have to respect my ownership of my data as a primacy, but then I want them to be able to do whatever cool stuff they want with it.

Location sharing? That shit's awesome. If you're meeting up with people in a new city, there's no better way to do it. But my telco and mapping providers had better be under corporate death penalty not to share that with anyone, under any circumstances.

That's the world I want, not one where these things don't exist, just one where I and every other user of the tools is in charge of what we do with them.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to, and making money. As long as the decisions and direction of a corporation are generally reasonable there's nothing wrong with community interests and the actions of a corporation aligning.

Frankly, I trust MS a LOT more than I do Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook or Twitter. MS tends to make money when you make money. The rest will bury you to make everything you used to.
I'm confused. Is the posted article not a direct counter-example? Google is scanning your email contents and at least, cataloging your purchases.

I used to work across from a Starbucks and I'd routinely have three venti light brews over the day, 60 oz is 5 cups. And Starbucks was very high in caffeine content for drip coffee, plus light roasts have more caffeine.

For me, it was something I could sip all day long, especially as black coffee is a tasty zero-calorie beverage, and at least in the morning I'd feel that rush of focus. Eventually had to give it up due to insomnia.
>notably, for all its merits, the taiwanese system still positions the government in an information vetting capacity, which may lead some to think that it is merely another system of propaganda or quasi-censorship

This is kind of how I see it too. I think if your goal is to combat disinformation or propaganda you should just come out straight up and say it because it's a perfectly defensible position to hold, but creating a government counter-narrative isn't any more harmless than just censoring something, it's just sounds nicer than having to use the word "censor" which tends to make people in some parts of the word jump up in panic.

Ask HN: What's so special about “Dark Mode”?
Everyone and their mother is talking about dark mode on different apps as if this a new thing or as if it does anything revolutionary. Dark themes have been around forever. I don't get it. Are we really out of innovative things to celebrate and rave about that "Dark Mode" is at the top of the list?
What would a free market for parking look like? It'd look a lot like Japan
I agree. The biggest cause of issues between cars and bikes has got to be speed differential, so if I'm on the appropriate bike i always ride in traffic. The bike lanes always get the worst sections of road (the curb) with cracks, drains and debris, Plus cars right hooking you, a car door biting you or a jaywalker on their cellphone are not infrequent risks.

That said there is a big biking population who should not be riding in traffic so without separated bike lanes can't get to parts of my city
The goal of this project is to destruct carbon credits (tradable certificate or permit representing the right to emit one tonne of carbon), it won't at all capture or even offset CO2 emission, it will only slightly raise the price of carbon credit. It is a totally misleading for the website to say that it will reduce your carbon footprint.

And you can't win government contracts with that, because they favor Chinese companies only ( so not published anywhere)

And you aren't going to realistically sell anything, because Chinese companies always win.

And after partnering, you can't easily get your money outside of China, that was why BTC was extremely popular there, untill it got regulated. Even for an individual, the limit is 50.000$/year for exchanging money.

Give me an example of something that launched there that was not a luxury clothing good ( eg. D&G)

Even something as steam needs a local partner to launch there. So the "wholly owned" thing is not a solution.

It just "exists" for the sake of an argument. My parent company sells in the entire world except China because of that ( and some very small other countries). So I'm not exactly an outsider, it was my question to the "top guys", sort of speak :)

It was also what I thought before I asked it. So yeah, it is a thing without a doubt.

Spending a considerable amount of time in both Taiwan and China for work and personal reasons over the last 10 years I'm always shocked to see the huge difference between those two countries that have a common origin.

As a European I think Taiwan would be one of the easiest and best places where I could relocate in Asia. Mainland China on the other hand would be a nightmare.
Where is here? I assume you mean either China or USA?

Anyways, Land Rover and Jaguar are Tata brands and present in both the above.

Feels like a ton of business could just benefit from automating various spreadsheet tasks via Zapier. I mean this stuff exists and it’s not rocket science but people don’t care to figure it out. I think part of it is people also not wanting to replace themselves out of a job. Does Betty really want to take that 1 hr daily task and turn it into 5 minute weekly task? I don’t know... maybe not.
When Microsoft pointed this out many years back (they had some controversial ads pointing out Google reading your mail) they were confronted with criticism.

It's good that finally the public and media is catching up and we have discussions around these issues.
TLDR: "Anyone I disagree with is justifying incorrect opinions." Your argument cuts both ways and can be applied to any issue, and is therefore illogical.

While i agree that much of the technological progress happened under soviet times, USA also abolished slavery in the 1860s, so this is not a very good data point for comparison.. one could make the argument that most 'western' (in a loose sense) technological progress beyond initial industrialization happened from WW1+ ... which would imply different things for different places

In NYC I think they're counterproductive to safety. Cars use them for temporary parking and pedestrians use them as a sidewalk.

When I visit Europe and Japan they seem to be far more effective.

I think it comes down to etiquette and that goes both ways - non cyclists need to respect bike lanes and cyclists need to obey traffic laws. Admittedly I don't obey traffic laws when cycling, but I would if they were enforced.
Because collecting data and sharing data are the only actions that affect privacy. Gmail neither collects nor shares any more data than any other email provider. The only difference is that it provides additional value on top of that data through better spam filtering and assistant functionality, neither of which affect the privacy implications of the service.
> When we parametrize complex systems in studies such as this, I feel we tend to lose the forest for the trees.

I think that's an unfair accusation. The study set out to answer a very specific question, and did so. Knowledge often progresses by building big pictures out of the answers to lots of little questions. In terms of your forest metaphor, I would say that the study is "identifying some specific groups of trees in the forest".

Friday (fridayfeedback.com) is async communication software for teams who want to spend less time in boring status update meetings and more time doing deep work. We're rebuilding the app and could use some help :)

Specifically, we could use some help us with backend engineering/architectural decisions. I'm flexible on hours and when you work, but for the Summer, up to 20 hours/week would be ideal.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to talk more luke [at] myfridayfeedback [dot] com.
I'm totally exhausted too. This morning I googled "migrate from chrome to firefox" because I remembered reading on HN a couple of days ago about a promotional site Mozilla had launched in the spirit of their old "getfirefox.com" campaign but this time it was about how to make the jump from chrome to FF. I needed Mozilla to motivate me to make the jump. I mean, FF is already on all of my PCs. I just can't seem to bring myself to actually make the jump. I just can't convince myself to marry yet another browser, as you do when you sign in and sync to the cloud. It's out of the frying pan into the fire, to me.

Google gave me an instant answer on how to migrate from FF to chrome. I immediately closed my default browser, went and played some Tetris on our Sega arcade machine, and tried to forget I'm both extremely privacy aware and extremely disappointed in Google.

I was going to say - I've yet to see a biker keep up with commuter traffic, which would make the speed differential a problem.
