Baby formula is one I often think about. There are a lot of people who need it for biologicial reasons, but for the rest most of the research I hear about says that breast milk is better overall. For the same reason we cannot catalogue and add every essential nutrient and vitamin into a 'meal pill', I wouldn't trust them to be able to do it for baby formula either.

Yet the formula is very popular, especially in China (they have to limit the quantities per person here in Australia since they grab so much to send home). So sometimes I wonder if this is a problem or not.
I don’t see how that’s relevant. Can’t the same thing be said of the OP’s main character? Why have a story at all?

The point was that Mark Z had the same attitude about the people who shared their data with FB, and the history is replete with FB abusing that trust in myriad ways. Is Mark Z still a teenager? And furthermore, that other CEO guy reformed. Does that mean the story is pointless?

Here is the real point. Both this CEO and young Mark Z were right. They were selling crap and people were buying it. People really did simply share their info and back then Zuck was a little taken aback. The point is that we all collectively as a society buy De Beers and we have collectively begun thinking it’s totally cool to trust some third party with all our private data just so they can connect us. So this is actually a critique of society and how we do exactly the things that they said were pretty dumb - and we really enjoy doing them!
I did a test recently -- today! -- myself on this, and found that the butterfly keyboard does slow me down a bit compared to my usual rate, which I wouldn't have actually predicted; I'm slightly slower on it in terms of raw keystrokes and also slightly less accurate. But it's not an incredible difference, and there are other keyboards I've used (like the much-hyped Brydge keyboard for the iPad Pro) which had more deleterious effects.
I had a Chinese driver's license for a while, and did a little driving there over about a month.

I had a simple rule when driving. At every moment in time, imagine the most asinine/ignorant thing every driver around you could possibly do. And that is what they will do.

But.

They will do it slowly. So when somebody just merges straight into you while you're in the straight lane, they'll just ease it over slow enough that you can react.

They'll cut directly across from the left lane to the right lane, ignoring the lights, to make the turn they feel like making. And run over a little old lady in the process, and scream at her body.

I was all like "I know the rules, I'll follow the rules", and I'd do batshit insane things like stop for pedestrians because they had the right of way. They'd look at me like I was a serial killer just waiting for my chance, usually until they noticed I wasn't from around there. Then they'd laugh at me and walk.

China has great rules of the road. Nobody follows them.
It's absurd that someone thinks they can buy a BRAND of keyboard and expect it to meet what they want their typing to be. There is a HUGE range of UX factors involved with keyboards - ask anyone who's custom soldered up Cherry MX boards to get what is "just right" for them. There are factors like travel distance, and "clickyness" to consider, not to mention contour of keycaps.

But then ask yourself why Apple doesn't offer different keyboard styles based on typing style.

My wife and I decided on getting a Moissanite stone for our engagement ring. We highly recommend it. Due to the lower price, the stone is much larger than what we would have bought at diamond prices. Due to its refractive index it catches the eye a lot more (far more vibrant than a diamond) and it gets a good bit of notice. People often comment how impressive the stone is, without knowing its not really a diamond! I highly recommend this stone to others, its really a good deal especially since the patents on making gem quality/sized stones has run out.
Office 365 allows you to install the latest version of word excel ... too in addition to their web versions. It’s actually the superior part of the offering, even though Hm tends to focus on the web part (why superior ? Automatic upgrade to latest so no mismatch of versions inside your company, no expensive acquisition cost merely add less than ten euro a month to add a new user, disable the next month if it didn't work out).

The installer fails on wine last time I checked, but porting an installation from windows works fine, and the account and license connection is fine too.
And they replace it with a keyboard with the same design flaws. I have replaced mine several times now and am left without a computer for a week every time.
Ha, sorry, yes. I confused 10 times as long with 10 times as far... I should have double checked the math.

Most of the Dutch cycle at 15 mph on upright bicycles. No wonder they don't need helmets. For bicycle sports or even fitness rides I would say the helmet helps a lot. I was lucky to wear one two times.
I loved working there. The people are amazing and I made many great friends. But I was an engineer and not involved in business decisions. To me, making file formats hard to parse to the detriment of your users for business strategic advantage is smart business but wrong.

Show HN: ToyCycle the best way to buy and sell used toys and baby gear
From https://nosneezes.com/resources/pollen-information/ :

"The highest pollen counts ever recorded anywhere in the world occur annually when these trees cut loose."

That source doesn't give any further information to back this up, but it doesn't seem too hard to believe.
Your mobile site is messing with my back button.
Another way around this for power users and devs that a lot of people seem to overlook is to get a 6-core Mac Mini and a mechanical keyboard. With a retina monitor, it's a great combination.

As a touch typist and massive terminal keybindings user, I won't compromise on the keyboard. Apple needs to wake up and realise which slice of their market they are alienating. I'd say it's the most important one—the developers and creators. There's a sense that at Apple HQ right now, the "Pro" in "MacBook Pro" no longer means "professional" but rather "prosumer." That is wrong, so a major course correction is in order before creative types start fleeing the brand in earnest (judging by this thread and others, they may have already).
Nope, it was Lululemon, they were all making sporting apparel which you could wear while working out, but were nowhere close to the fabric, design, and style that Lululemon had, and they were completely clueless and neglecting the women's market.
They eventually realized and have IMO caught on ( UA and Nike have great lines which have great fabrics, but am a guy, if you ask my wife she will go with Athleta, which is lower priced than Lululemon, but is comparable in a lot of aspects).
A dysfunctional legal department at Google. Who would have guessed? The founder/CEO Gates marrying someone in Marketing. The CEO of a software company I worked for having an affair with his secretary. This is what one had to tolerate to work in the software industry, and now has to tolerate to work in "tech". A complete absence of ethics and common sense. Pathetic. Other industries employing intelligent people are not like that, not to the same extent anyway.
They already do that - https://www.itnews.com.au/news/dta-becomes-microsofts-first-...
My boss has one of those. She usually goes back and fixes her mistakes, but when she gets stressed and in a hurry she gives up on the corrections.

We just pretend that she's drunk in these cases. Or that this is just how the cool kids (with the expensive gadgets) talk these days. Or that the stress of the job has uncovered a long lost speech impediment.

Overall, I think the keyboard has been a really positive thing for team cohesion.
For Tech Companies Going Public, an Unwanted Side Effect: IPO-Related Lawsuits
> The manufacturers noticed that helmet sales were declining, and all of a sudden “new science” appeared with a theory about concussions being caused by brain rotation and MIPS technology helps prevent that.

> There isn’t an ethical test for blunt force trauma in real life conditions, and bike crashes are very rarely reported if they don’t send the rider to the hospital.

There's one ethical source of data - televised bike races. Surely there are enough crashes recorded in publicly accessible videos to provide a fairly representative sample of how a human head moves when the helmet it's wearing hits the road.

> They can get away with it because it’s such an easy marketing sell- most people think their life is worth more than $250, so any helmet tech is a bet on the order of Pascal’s wager.

It's exactly the same with motorcycle helmets. You can get a DOT approved helmet for $150, but the general perception in the community is "if you have a $150 head, wear a $150 helmet". Then everyone pays $800 for helmets designed to European standards which are meant for racing, and give dubious benefit if any at normal road-going speeds (eg. see https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/automobiles/27SNELL.html).

Wow! awesome stuff.
So I've actually done a fair amount of research on this speech, and there a few skipped points most times people report on it.

Firstly the audience loved the jokes, they laughed at them all. It wasn't like he delivered them to stunned faces and immediate shock. The only thing that brought him down was a newspaper reporter noted it down and newspapers pushed it as an artificial scandal. Everyone buying 5 pound earrings knew they were of very low quality, they just didn't want it being shouted at them in their daily news.

Secondly it wasn't even the first time he had publicly made these sorts of jokes, in fact it wasn't even the first time they had been published in the papers.

This was entirely a newspaper driven downfall, they wanted to see him fail and wanted to sell papers about a scandal, so they did.

I wouldn't go that far. He may well not buy in to the social hype, but understand that it exists and begrudgingly play the game his own way for appearances only. It'd be the smartest move in many cases. The game is rigged so lying to beat it isn't something I'd condemn, especially if his wife is of the same mind.

I definitely agree with your last point, but wasting resources to display fitness is found all across the animal kingdom and sadly it doesn't seem like we've moved past that yet as a species.
Hi guys,
I am Sarfraz co-founder of TOYCYCLE. We built our platform originally to enable families to connect locally to swap free used toys. Families in the Bay Area expressed excitement about the possibilities, but we found that it only worked for about 20% of those who signed up. The majority reported they just didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with the mountains of outgrown toys and gear they were storing. So, we pivoted to a much more convenient option, taking the hassle out of buying and selling used toys and baby gear. For sellers we now offer full-service consignment. We come pick up your stuff and then handle all the details of the sale. For buyers, we offer a large selection of fully vetted items in an e-commerce environment with local delivery and nationwide shipping.

We’re super excited about the initial engagement and we want to make our service a truly valuable solution for our customers. We’d love any questions, and especially feedback. What do you want from an e-commerce experience? What makes it most convenient? What are some of your pet peeves with buying used products online? Shipping issues? Advise for improvements? Growth Hacks? Happy to hear it all!

Interesting point--I suppose many common foods could be freshly branded as vegan -- black bean burritos, garden salads, aloo gobi, lentil soup, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, guacamole, salsa, tempura, juice, beer nuts, bottled water, cola, cotton candy, spaghetti in marinara sauce, falafels, tortilla chips, fried rice, popsicles, single malt scotch . . .
Formula is pretty popular in Australia too, it's just that middle-class Chinese don't trust the local product to be safe (and arguably rightly so, given the number of issues they've had with it).

Just for the record: I obviously could have googled it. But although I'm German, I spend a good amount of time in the "American internet" - and never heart of ACH. Plus the submission was upvoted like crazy. So I was pretty confident that this was either spam or I'm having a brainfart.

It seems though that there are things like ACH that are somehow very common knowledge but I've never come across until now.

Well if, as they say, this is leading to the extinction of the ultra-rich then, the environment will almost certainly benefit.
Am a guy and buy mostly UA ( their quality is kickass and they fit well). But people swear by Lululemon's quality and its ability to hold up well. IMO they've managed to become Patagonia-like, in gaining a cult-like following.
I'll preface this as stating I am not a gem snob and truly do not care what people wear. My wife and I went with a moissanite and we're perfectly happy with our decision for her engagement ring, and will probably buy more moissanite in the future.

That said, when it comes to cubic zirconia the stone will definitely scratch with regular wear over several years. If you see a clear stone with scratches, its obviously not a diamond/moissanite and probably cz. To a careful observer, its also not incredibly difficult to tell the difference between diamond/moissanite/cz with the right lighting. Cubic Zirconia lacks the refractive index to really match the brilliance of a similar diamond/moissanite.

Ultimately though I fully agree with the idea of wear whatever you think looks good.
Outlook webmail works fine offline. You need to enable some setting though.

You often get the impression that leaders are more upset about the fact that people are defying them than any underlying issue with people wanting different governance.

You'll sometimes see leaders proudly support independence movements abroad while insisting people pushing the same sort of ideas at home are criminals or terrorists.
What momentum towards independence? Everything since the handover has been going against independence. Maybe the difference with Singapore is this cold reality:

I wholeheartedly agree - Thunderbird is awesome, one of my favorite programs out of the ones I use daily, and has worked well for me for over a decade. I know of no alternative that is suitable for me.

While there is a bit of room for improvement, I dread the types of changes to Thunderbird that are so often discussed. Now that a generation has been raised on webmail, it seems that very few even understand the many benefits of Thunderbird or why someone would not want webmail.

I'm not the right person to try to teach people about the benefits of Thunderbird or educate them on why webmail is a scourge. Thank you for your comment - at least it will help people start to realize that there might be a silent majority out there like us that find great utility in Thunderbird and that aren't looking for a Gmail clone or a copy of the Apple equivalent.

How to Create an AR Shoot ’Em Up Gallery Game – Part 4
> Where would you even start to be able to get value out of this data?

Much like excel for certain professions, I work on a piece of software that is used all day by people in another profession.

One thing we do is look at which features are used most (and least). We make it easier to find and use the most popular features and we make rarely used features less prominent (and in some rare cases we might remove them altogether).

In our most recent redesign, we elevated some of the most commonly used information to the point where the user doesn't even have to click anything to gain some high level insight (previous versions needed at least 1-2 clicks to get to that same info).

We have about 30 power users who we work with continuously. Some of them are nearby, and we often go look over their shoulder and pick their brains. Some of them are in other regions where we get valuable global feedback that we wouldn't otherwise get from those regions.

They get early access to new features and they get to help shape the product that they rely on for their livelihood and help us decide on what we should be working on next. It's win/win and I would recommend forming this kind of relationship with a subset of your user base if you can.
Interesting. I wish there could be a corpus of data on this to help understand what makes the keyboard better for some and worse for others.
Most of the crashes I've seen in televised pro races were shot from only a single angle some distance away, and often with obstructed sight lines. So I'm skeptical that those videos will give us useful data on head movement.

I did well with keyboards on the old powerbook g4, and the 1st gen intel macbook pros. Once they went chiclet, I developed wrist fatigue, finger pain, and other issues. They are an ergonomic nightmare scenario for me, and are basically unusable undocked for any significant length of time. I imagine the new models will be even worse.
