Not much to think about we completely and totally are.

One of the things that came out of Snowden releases was just how bloody efficient and interconnectef GCHQ is with the NSA.

It's rather typical that the most efficient government body appears to be the one used for spying on its own (and everyone else's) citizens.

It's ok though as the new home secretary is a stable and sensible...no wait it's Priti "I had to resign because I had secret undeclared meetings with a foreign power" Patel[1].

We are totally fucked.

Is there something special about deadlifting that achieves this effect over, say, squats? I'm a skinny distance runner but deadlifting is my favorite strength exercise and it does seems to increase libido. I just attributed it to feeling pumped. Wouldn't any heavy weight workout produce the same effect?

How open to non UK (yes EU) workers are those state digital agencies ?

Some indication would be :

- Out of the last 20 people (really) employed at X state digital agency i've talked to, Y have probably not a UK passport
Sadly not - the code belongs to the company I worked for. I should cleanroom it from scratch and open source it.

The title is incorrect. The Schengen Information System does not keep data for "all EU citizens", it only keeps such data for wanted persons, missing/stolen identity documents or objects (like cars, boats and so on).

There is no centralized database for EU citizens photos or fingerprints (not even at national level in many countries).
We have a massive number of those greenhouses here in The Netherlands too. Fruit here is fairly cheap - it's cheaper to cook yourself than it is to buy read meals as long as you get the portions right and cook whatever is in season.
I feel like I'm almost reading my own writing here. I have very similar experiences.

> Its an aspect of startups people rarely talk about or warn you about.

I agree, and it should be talked about more. The same is true for other high performance jobs (e.g. investment banking or consulting), where high performance means working a lot of hours.

I also think Ycombinator could improve on this as I remember Sam Altman saying during a Startup School lecture (paraphrased): if you get a burnout, fix it. I felt like he implied to just make it work somehow, it doesn't matter how.

In fairness, most of these people aren't mental health professionals and somehow had to deal with these things themselves as well and they are simply sharing their views on how they dealt with it. What I wonder is if they reflect on the idea that some people that this as advice and moreover take it to heart. Taking a personal strategy of someone else to heart seems quite dangerous to me.
It would be actually nice if someone had the foodnotes.

Why Psychological Safety in the Workplace Is Important?
Well, right now there is extra hot weather, little wind, little installed solar power in France (and reduced solar power output because of the heat) and no problem at all either. There is a lot of spare gas capacity, the gas plants are mostly unused right now, and the nuclear plants are more than able to cope with the power demand, as less than 60% of installed capacity is needed now.

There is really no reason to think there is, or could be any problem in summer in the foreseeable future, since we are already in a worst case situation (highest temperatures ever recorded, basically no renewables used, nuclear as almost the only source of electricity at the moment) that is not problematic.
Here's some questions we can ask to help answer the question:

- is this preference common to all known cultures?

- is this preference found in other mammals, including our closest relatives?

- if taller partners were selected for because they 'can offer greater protection to their partners and children from other men, and were likely to have been better providers of food and other resources throughout our evolutionary history' then are women with a higher fear of crime more likely to prefer physically formidable and dominant males? And do women who score lower on dominance show a stronger preference for taller men?

No, this is different an may come from a very different source. I worked in the city and was expecting to meet spoilt brats in suits, well why not, they earn a fucking fortune some of them[0] they don't need to bother with manners.

At a personal level I found them very decent and considerate, deeply and genuinely so. The problem in the city of scarfing up too much money seemed to me to be down to them just not understanding how much it hurt other people. They were born, if not wealthy then certainly nowhere near poor, so never understood what the stress of not knowing you can pay the rent does to you. I felt it to be an ignorance problem not an attitude problem.

Though YMMV as americans say.

[0] which mostly they didn't deserve. They were no more competent than the average man on the street and in fact considerably less so in some ways as they'd been 'poisoned' with abundant corporate money - they didn't understand you can get a lot done with moderate cash; they expected to throw cash at everything. It produced a very inefficient way of working, exactly the opposite of what the capitalist culture should have done. It made them stupid. It made it an incredibly frustrating place to work and I had to hand in my notice.

I read somewhere that the designer of the original ARM cpu said his boss had given him 2 great gifts, no money and no staff. These were not gifts the square mil hands around easily.

Edit: sorry, I realised how far I've wandered off-topic. Happy to delete if you wish.
Absolutely. It seems to have become popular to value "experiences over things" as if that's somehow virtuous and makes you better than materialistic people who just want to accumulate stuff.

It's really just another branch of the same kind of materialism.

The mating signal thing is crazy too. I recently dabbled in dating apps (hopefully, never again). It seems virtually every woman on there is obsessed with travel (has "wanderlust", or wants to visit "30 countries before 30", or "couldn't live without my passport", along with a bunch of photos of them posing in front of familiar stock-photo tourist sites).

It's almost always like this: an obsession with travel itself, rather than a passion for a particular culture or region or language or activity that requires travel. (Which might not really be any better, but I'd identify with it a lot more easily).

What's driving this? Is it covert (or subconscious) signalling that they want a mate with the resources to fund this lifestyle? Or simply a feeling that this is expected of them to seem fun and interesting?

As you said, not nearly enough has been written. I wish a great writer with the requisite knowledge of culture and psychology would dive into this.
The reverse situation is not getting stared at by local farmers when you visit a foreign country; but when Chinese tourists visit your country, walk into your private garden, and stare into your house through the windows.

Which is exactly what happens in many countries. In the Netherlands this is a common (and recent) issue with Chinese tourists visiting folkloric villages that have normal people not living there who are not part of the tourism industry as well — like picturesque canal-strewn Giethoorn.

It may be, there may be several classes of "generic fixes".

Could it be that we identify a way to improve the genetic machinery itself, so that replication errors are less likely.
or maybe a way to maintain DNA already in place in an individual (be it that the individual is born with it or gets it later, like cancer)

Supporting Thread in particular is an interesting choice, because as far as I'm aware Thread is one of the most open-source IoT stacks[0]. Thread isn't really used in consumer hardware, which is probably the reason it's so obscure within the hacker community, but there's a lot of buzz around it within industry groups. Companies like Google, ARM, Amazon, LG, NXP, Samsung and many others are supporting the development of Thread.

What's interesting about Thread is that it takes advantage of IPv6 to allow any device on a network to talk to the World Wide Web. Usually, you can only talk to your IoT gateway over the web, and then tell it to control its children. Thread simplifies all of that and lets you directly talk to any child via its IPv6 address[1].

Compared to some other IoT protocols, Thread also takes a strong stance on security: unlike other protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy, you cannot create an unsecure Thread network[2], you must have the correct credentials to talk to any Thread network, and all communications are encrypted.

I believe that Thread is going to be a very important part of the future of IoT, and I'm excited to see what comes next.

See also street photography, where just asking people if it's ok to take their photo makes life nicer and easier.

Photographers are mostly allowed to take photos of people in the street, but some of them can be pretty obnoxious about it.
Agreed, on your second point. But these stories are not “meh” because it reminds us how important it is that the UK leave the EU once and for all
Ah Thx! Should have checked the code myself. The library looks good. Not too much documentation (https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/267, https://github.com/pkg/sftp/issues/247), but straight forward and battle tested.
The worst thng about that, at least for me, was that I actually liked it. I felt alert, productive, full of energy. Things moved gast and I felt on top of them, it was just great.

When things changed, arguably forvthe better, I kind of wanted the previous status back. Took me quite a while to cool down again, yet I still prefer high pressure high speed environments.

Funn thing is, my body felt good too. I was healthy as check ups showned. I even managed to trian more than today. Strange period that was indeed...

Yes. This was the case I had in mind. Path to madness.
There’s the patio11 way of doing things which he’s written plenty about.

But there’s also the more classic knows-where-to-put-the-screw consultant. Something is broken and bleeding money and after being jerked around by underlings for a few weeks some director is desperate to fix it.

There’s are many many companies out there that can be losing tens of thousands of dollars a day or more because something isn’t working.
There isn’t a database of every US citizen’s fingerprints.
I don't find challenging work particularly stressful. In fact, I usually find them less stressful, because I just try to do my best, and accept the possibility of failure.

The most stressful situation for me is when I have a relatively easy task but that failure is not an option.

For example:

- Climbing a vertical cliff with full protection: challenging but not stressful.

- Walking on a beam on top of a 10 story building: easy but stressful.
It's also because of environmental requirements in France, and I expect in Germany as well.

Nuclear plants could use warmer water, but regulation forbids them from releasing water at a higher temperature than 30°C.

The title is misleading.

The allegation is not that the UK authorities made a copy and gave it directly to the US authorities.

The allegation is that the UK authorities made copies for its own and its contractors use. These contractors include US companies- IBM is one example.

It really sounds like poor regard for security measures / lack of ownership and enforcement in the UK rather than anything malicious.

It is also noted that several other member states have similar issues.

It should also be noted - certain US authorities probably have or can get copies from various non-uk states and the UK. But that isn't what this incident is about.
The link suggests that this was announced in April this year. Do you think all the necessary DBs have already been connected? I would expect it to happen next year earliest.
Wildly profitable in the short term. A lot of funds also fail. In the long term there is too much money to be made by demonstrating your ability to consistently beat the market for the type of smoke and mirrors you're talking about to be a real thing.
Surely their legal argument would be: we intended at that time to cut prices. Events in the market since then have forced us (unwillingly and with great regret; tears in our eyes even) to revisit this decision and raise prices?

When I’ve tried to cut a jigsaw with a laser, the kerf between pieces was too large and it fit together a little too loosely to have that satisfying “snap” when pieces came together.

>But I doubt the paths in the brain will ever go away. It will be like a overgrown path in the end but it is still there.

While this aligns with current knowledge of neuroscience, provided the 'healthy' paths overgrow the stress-pathways over time (maybe using methods described in CBT or MBSR for example), theoretically the latter ones should become a non-issue over time. Picture a road being built over a footpath. Notwithstanding building that road requires a lot of conscious effort. But it seems doable, both based on scientific data and anecdotal evidence in myself and people around me.

I'm totally with you. I wonder if UK should have left the EU even earlier and saved themselves and us a lot of hassle.

I hope that the EU-friendly states might join again, but I think they would need to break up the UK for that, don't they?
The article makes multiple references to the fact that he could have infected the islanders, I'm not sure what led you to this conclusion.

>Blog spam 2.0. [...] I don't see why one wouldn't want to link the source and at the same time support the writer directly

I wasn't the one who downvoted your comment but in this particular case I disagree. I wouldn't call this "blog spam". The petapixel post is more like the author strategically choosing syndication[1].

As a reader of articles, I find the petalpixel url more relevant than the photographer's own website. After I'm done reading the 1 article, I can see more "trending" articles on the righthand side to read more.

In contrast, the photographer's website is less relevant because I'm not interested in buying prints that cost $1100 to $13000 USD or contacting him to book luxury expeditions.

Just wanted to provide a different perspective and why I think the Petapixel url is more appropriate for the HN audience. In fact, sending a potential "HN hug of death" directly to the author's website with virtually no one "adding to shopping cart" while using up his hosting bandwidth seems to be the opposite of supporting the photographer.

This is a very well done and pretty comprehensive tutorial.

However, there are plenty of pretty good basic web development tutorials out there, and few, if any of them address what I think is crucial. Once you have all your HTML and CSS and JavaScript all ready to go, how do you actually got about putting that webpage online the right way for the modern internet, including basic security best practices.

As the website name says "interneting is hard," but I think the hardest part for an absolute beginner isn't throwing some HTML but actually getting it online. Googling around will present one with a lot of choices and advice for what to do, at various levels of complexity and it's not at all clear what applies to their particular case. Questions that often need answers are things like:

- What's a domain and how to get one?
- What kind of hosting solutions are there and how do I decide which is right for me?
- How do I point my domain to my server?
- What's a certificate, do I need one and how do I set one up?
- How do I make sure I don't get hacked by a script kiddie?

For an absolute beginner web developer, learning HTML and CSS is pretty accessible, they can write, test and iterate on their machine and they can pretty much figure what questions to ask of google and quickly see if the answer works, but when it comes to actually hosting their site, it can be hard to even know what kind of questions to google, much less how to choose the correct answer.

If someone were to ask me to recommend then a tutorial for making a website, I'd probably link to this or one of the other similar tutorials online, but at this point I'm not sure if there's a similar authoritative, modern "How to get your website online" tutorial, although I admit I haven't looked all that hard.
I don't have the exact figures - I'm sure you could FoI it. But, anecdotally, I work with people from around the EU, Canada, USA, and beyond.
I simply wondered if I could play devil's advocate by looking up some research about men spending money for cars in order to attract women. I mean, most psychologists are men right? Surely, someone had the bright idea to look into this (I wonder if anyone has done it regarding the other way around, I'm too lazy to look it up since I can't play devil's advocate with that). As it turns out, there is research on it!

The introduction is the most juicy bit as the particular article I found is about intra-sex competition but states a few interesting studies in their introduction about being desirable to women.

In short what I skimmed so far related to this idea is:

"And indeed, a man who was seated in a luxury car was perceived
as more attractive by women compared to the same man seated
in a nonluxury car (Dunn & Searle, 2010). Hence, men appear
to use showy spending to attract women in intersexual competition contexts. Sundie et al. (2011) further revealed that men’s
flaunting of luxury goods signals their desirability as a shortterm (rather than long-term) mate."

Personally, I don't car about any of this. However, academically (from an evolutionary psych. view, lol): yes, men are seen as a more desirable mate!

If this conclusion is also actually true (and not subject to whatever ails the field of psychology) then I'd chalk it up to most of humanity being vain and if you want to get vain people you need to be the vainest of them all and get the sports car, the fancy house, other desirable 'high value' women in pictures and all that jazz. Though, why not just immediately go for the private helipad and private jet with built-in Jacuzzi? Nothing attracts as much as offering young people in general a trip around the world in pure luxury! Or so I presume. So don't buy the sports car. Buy the helipad with helicopter on top.

The goal of this is to be hosted on a router. I'm assuming it wouldn't go around NAT as much as replace NAT by replacing router's firmware.

You've guessed correctly that this is one of the most painful parts of the setup. I use a different open source product for the same purpose (Home Assistant), and it allows me to go around NAT manually (use dynamic DNS service, open up the port on a router, route it to a local device, issue a Let's Encrypt certificate) or pay them a few bucks per month to ease the pain.
I meant "restaurant" as a system that converts raw food into money.

McDonald's, franchise or not, counts. Though to my understanding, they're not doing the franchise model as much anymore and are managing it themselves instead.

The linked article supports my view and is actually a little more profitable than expected. It quotes 20% net profit, which is amazing when most of the restaurants I see make close to 0% net profit.

Franchises add quite a lot of value. The hardest things in running a restaurant are marketing, product development & training, and supply chain. They supply all of these. If you want 'passive' income, franchises are the the closest thing to it.
