> If you go on listing the issues, you wind up writing the requirements document for a password manager.

One difference, though, is that most of the issues can be addressed by some sort of persistent data store that does not need high security. Once you've taken the passwords themselves out of what your password manager stores, I think this is the only thing on your list that requires storing highly sensitive data:

> What about extraneous crap like security questions, phone PINs, emails, related sites, &c.?

For the rest, such as some sort of per site version serial number to handle password rotation, or a map from current site name to original site name for sites whose names have changed, it is also sensitive data, but it is on a level of sensitivity like a contact list or browser bookmarks for which your ordinary OS security mechanisms for file protection should be sufficient.

Coffee Meets Bagel CEO on turning down $30M on SharkTank and working with family
Totally agree how the thermodynamics and the economics doesn't add up. Solar panels on cars never really made sense for a reason. The view factor and efficiency of a solar panel on a car would produce very little energy. I would be surprised if it's more than 500W without some sort of breakthrough technology. People forget that 50 kWh (the standard range of a Model 3) is a shitton of energy. A full roof can barely keep up with those number, let alone a car amount of solar panels.
Thank you all for the ideas! I'm blessed to work at home and think I'll definitely look into either building (trying to improve my wood working skills) or buying a standing desk. Maybe a gym membership should be in my future too or bulking more gardens haha.
Show HN: Camemoji – Facial Recognition to Emoji
When I was applying to grad schools in 2016, the online applications all sat on top of a Salesforce build. It's clunky to build on for sure, but there has to be trade-offs when you're using a pre-designed "lego blocks" type system to build an app.

You can sign up for a free SF developer account, which gives you access to a dummy account that can support 2 users. Go to Salesforce Trailhead, their training site and look at the modules to figure out which one might help you create a prototype you can use as a proof of concept for your team.

> if they both disappeared at the same time

They didn't disappear at the same time. I was on antidepressants for a year and my time on antidepressants was pretty much independent of the degree to which my sleep problems were fixed. I probably was slightly less anxious while on the antidepressants, but this was far overwhelmed by the fact that I get/got anxious & depressed after the nights my sleep was poor and I don't/didn't whenever I sleep well. I was able to narrow it down to this specific direction of causality (bad sleep -> anxious the next day) through the fact that my sleep was often affected by exogenous physical factors.

I apologize for not going into too much identifying detail on a pseudonymous account, but I solved it by completely ignoring the medical establishment, reading voraciously about the problem, and experimenting on myself until I got myself to an 85% solution that at least allowed me to get back to work. This happened at a far, far slower and more grinding pace than the counterfactual in which I had any competent doctors around me (or rather, if competency wasn't ludicrously uncommon within medicine), since 1) I was sick, 2) I was employed until I quit to focus on the issue, and 3) I don't have an educational background in medicine the way that a doctor (ostensibly) would.

I'm far, far, far more comfortable reading papers in noisy epistemological environments than most people; I can't even imagine how horrible and expensive and drawn-out this process would have been had I not been had the confidence or ability to take this route and had to rely on the medical establishment.

After getting most of the way there myself, I still have issues sleeping once every week or two, and I decided to visit the relevant specialist to use them as a reference to expedite my path to a 100% solution[1]. It's a criminal indictment of our medical system that the only recourse for patients with complex, multi-factor health problems is to themselves navigate both medical knowledge and the medical system until they've narrowed it down to a fairly well-defined, simple solution. To the extent that the system's abdication of responsibility is driven by individuals' decisions, they should be ashamed of themselves (though again, I will reiterate once again that I think that the problem is systemic; I think most people of average intelligence would behave similarly in the situations that doctors find themselves in and I haven't seen any evidence that leads me to believe that most doctors are particularly extra-bright).

[1] At which point regulatory BS popped up again and I was legally required to have a perfunctory appt (at the cost of several hundred dollars, of course) with a doctor to request a referral to this type of specialist
Nolo claims the opposite.

In a handful of states, including California, Michigan, and Nebraska, you must appear in small claims court on your own. In many states, however, you can be represented by a lawyer if you like. But even where it's allowed, hiring a lawyer is rarely cost efficient. Most lawyers charge too much compared to the relatively modest amounts of money involved in small claims disputes. Happily, several studies show that people who represent themselves in small claims cases usually do just as well as those who have a lawyer.

Interesting bit about the other person who had stuff stolen receiving the exact same emails from KitSplit. If they bothered to have created a script for this it means that they're probably dealing with this stuff frequently, more than one in 10'000 times as they claim. They also are probably shamelessly lying when they say that they discussed the case in length with "Kristina" but that she ultimately decided to deny the claim. Makes it sound like they're really trying to help while in reality they're only deploying diversion tactics. They've been misleading him all along.

I'm a ~30 year old meat-eating male in a family with a history of anemia on my mother's side (including my sister).

It was discovered sometime within the past few years during a routine blood test that I had low hemoglobin from a moderate-to-severe Iron/B12 deficiency (no full blown other condition, though)

I was never recommended injections, however. Doctor told me to take an off-the-shelf supplement and to eat more red meat. (I rarely did)

When I don't follow through with those items I do notice. Following his advice has greatly improved my overall feeling of well-being. I would otherwise feel tired, foggy-headed, weak, faint, anxious, nauseous at times—sometimes a mix of all of the above. Used to think my blood sugar was just low.

I work in the sales and marketing world, and the best way describe Salesforce is it's the infrastructure sales is built on. Especially in the B2B world, it's just as big and heavy hitting as any of the other FAANG companies, if not more.

And I want to stress how big and clunky SFDC is even for people familiar with it. I am sure everyone and their mother can build a faster, more elegant CRM. But that misses the point. It's infrastructure. The fact that it's legacy is the feature! I'm sure we can design more elegant roads and pick smarter rail gauges today, but having consistent and interchangeable standards is important to build on. It's enough for a company to constantly track their changing market, they don't need to risk losing customers because they upgrade the CRM every couple of years.

Besides the standard PiHole VPN so on I have several RPis I use.

Couldn't that just be attributed to a log that is compacted to a count? I would imagine a system like change.org needs to handle plenty of people all of a sudden signing that a append-only log would be sufficient for.

Of course I could be entirely wrong but I can see if a technical reason why it wouldn't go up cleanly, similar to YouTube views, they're not realtime.
There is a TON of money in Salesforce. I'm rolling it out at our company right now and it's mind-boggling how many associated costs there are when you want the Salesforce connector for your existing tools:

* Data enrichment service plugging into Salesforce? Extra $10-20K/annually
* NPS service piping responses in? Upgrade for an extra $8K
* Preloading account data? There are like 5-10 sources you can have, each one with a different purpose, each one a potential $25K/annually
* How about a note-taking app that lets you modify Salesforce fields in the app? Another $40/user/month
* Hiring a consultant? $150-200/hr, and it'll take 100 hours to get it done

All that's on top of the $150/user/month Salesforce Enterprise list price

Is poor financial sense justification for not helping someone out that needs help?

I dunno, these all seem like kinda tenuous justifications for not giving. By all means, it's your money. I'm not telling you how to spend it. Just that I don't agree with the core idea that poor people should live like hermits, that you know everything about people's lives, that not being taught finance by anyone is a solid justification for not giving.

It seems rather post-hoc. Personally I don't think any of thse things should justify someone losing basic human rights like food, shelter, or health. This isn't to say the problem should be solved by private charity, it shouldn't. Can't, I would even say.
It's also the principle of the thing. I USED to have a subscription, but they would never give Bernie any print time which pissed me off and I gave up on it.

At the time, my healthcare was fully paid for with small copays. Went to Dr as needed. The issue is, that until I saw the Paxil add talking about social anxiety. I thought I was just very shy, so why would I talk to my dr about that?

Surely in this type of instance (looking at a scan to answer a yes/no question) the human and AI act independently, with the computer being a useful aid because it separately picks up a few of the human's false negatives. Assuming false negatives are a lot worse than false positives, this can only be a good thing.
We live in an aging society, so the GDP metric is misleading.

Although, we certainly do spend irrational amounts on healthcare, partly because consumers don't bear consequences for going with the pricey procedures.

There's also numerous layers of regulatory capture, artificial scarcity, and rent-seeking in order to protect various industry-wide or regional cartels. The combination of that with consumers who have no reason to care about price is a potent recipe for price gouging.

>. Consumers are not qualified to decide what prescription drugs they need and can easily be tricked.

>It's not many steps removed from selling radium water.

Except you've glossed over the critical extra step: you still need a prescription from your doctor, who presumably considers whether the drug a patient is requesting is appropriate.

Also consider your doctor is not aware of all of your problems and all available drugs, nor is the average patient aware of what conditions are treatable. For example, medications like chantix for smoking cessation may be brought up by patients without doctors necessarily aware of smoking habits.

I don't like ads, but I'm not convinced that ads for drugs are too much more evil than others.
TLDR: Idiot handed something expensive to a complete strange he met through some website you've never heard of until now, with no collateral, and now it's gone.

If you rent a $3500 something to someone, you're supposed to put a charge in about that amount on their credit card that is reversed when they return it. Or some other form of reasonable collateral.

If Home Depot lends you a $100 tool (or one that was $100 new), they will put something like $200 on your credit card. If they never see you again, they made a nice profit.

> Why would any sane person rent out their gear to a stranger unless there was a third-party to keep each person accountable and provide insurance if something goes wrong.

No; the question is: why would any sane person believe that some startup website for connecting owners and renters would actually take on liability for renters who steal?

Why would any sane person just form beliefs about how things are, and not read the legal fine print?

Why would you use use some website that takes your money for finding a renter, yet provides nothing else? Such a site should provide the service of handling the collaterization that individuals are not set up for. Or, else, where is their value over a hook up site like Craigslist?

I did something a bit different- at the end of the term, I would rewrite my notes. A v2.0 of them. In the process I was going over all of my previous notes, but by that point I had a much greater understanding of how all the things fit together, which details were important, etc... and my new set of notes, which were also not written under duress of trying to keep up with the teacher, were much better written.

The second set was always much cleaner, much better organized, and much more deeply ingrained in my brain.

As an aside, when I went to college, my first semester Computer Science teacher was vehemently anti-notetaking in class. He would chastise people who were taking notes either on their laptops, or in notebooks, saying "The slides will be online!" I really struggled that first semester, and found it hard to pay attention, hard to retain the information, hard to even understand what he was talking about, and it took me awhile to realize just how powerful the act of taking notes was.
