Our child was pretty good at sleeping overnight, barring a few frustrating weeks.

Mostly we found it fair to divide the night into half for her, and half for me; if he woke up between bedtime and 1AM my wife would deal with him. If he woke between 1AM and morning I would deal with him.

Having two hours of sleep total? That would kill me. But waking up for a few minutes, then going back to bed a couple of times in one night? Not as bad as you'd think. I know I zombie-walked a few mornings, but it didn't seem to cause too many actual problems. Of course when we were in this phase we'd often try to go to bed ourselves as early as possible.
Meaning literally ever worrying about finding yourself in a situation where your watch is dead. Or looking at the battery throughout the day and worrying about whether it'll make it through. Or worrying about bringing its charger on trips, etc.

If you enjoy your watch, that's cool and totally great. I stopped wearing mine and it was mentally freeing not having one extra device's battery to monitor throughout the day. Would definitely recommend.
My question is, do they forfeit the RSUs given to the laid-off workers?
Disinformation Demystified
I do sometimes get FOMO - I think it's just natural, but I try and look at it as an opportunity to improve myself and practice being mindful.

Essentially I have two options if I feel a bit envious:

1) Feel envy and get depressed because I start thinking I have a worse life.

2) Share in their joy - send a like, write a positive comment or sometimes just do nothing except focus on being excited for them . By sharing in their joy, I get to experience a bit of their happiness for myself. If I write them a comment, even if it's just 'Congrats!', then there's a chance I might even make them a little happier too - which in itself makes me happier.

This did not come naturally to me at first. I've worked on cultivating this attitude for many years. It's one of the best investments I've ever made in myself.
Strongly agree. And even if Gates did know Epstein was convicted of soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008, is it that wrong for him to take a meeting with him? He’s not becoming friends with the guy, partying with him, or endorsing his behaviour in any way. If Epstein was just a means to an end for Gates, the end being raising money for aome great causes, then I get the choice to meet with him.

For example, if you’re a head of state, diplomat, etc., you’re going to take meetings with guys like Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, or their henchmen. That doesn’t mean you approve of the murders they’ve ordered or the people they’ve oppressed. You’re taking the meeting as a means to an end - maybe it’s the best way to get a trade deal done, so that entrepreneurs in the two countries can buy stuff from each other.

Or a closer to home example - say you’re a sales person trying to sell SaaS software to BigCorp. You have an important sales meeting coming up with a BigCorp employee, you do some research and find out that 5 years ago, he solicited an underage prostitute for sex. Do you cancel the meeting? The odd person might, but most would just take the meeting anyways. You wouldn’t become friends with the guy, but you’d still try to sell some software to the business he represents.

If people have close personal ties to Epstein, investigate them. At the very least it’s morally reprehensible, and if they participated in the sex rings/paedophilia, charge them. But taking the odd business meeting with a bad person is not a big deal on its own IMO.
Why does every article about the Chinese government doing terrible things have someone saying 'the west is just as bad'? It not only is pure whataboutism it usually isn't even remotely true.
For mission-critical software like avionics or a nuclear power plant? Absolutely! At design time you better figure out what all the error cases are, and blindly steamrolling over them when they should be triggered makes a bad problem worse (e.g. look at Cloudbleed where unchecked out-of-bounds reads starts disclosing other people's banking information).

Assertions are also usually turned off for performance reasons, not to allow the program to plow through invariants being violated.
Like if they took all the collaboration tools from google docs and mixed it together with confluence, they’d be onto something.

Google docs does collaboration very well, but it doesn’t do all the structured inter-page navigation stuff at all
Unfortunately, the 12V system in mine is limited to 10 amps. the raw 48V from the battery would have no problem running an AC inverter, but on mine at least, is not accessible
It take roughly 100 times longer to charge a car than to refill from a fuel pump so chargers need to be WAY more popular than gas stations.

The “obvious way to handle this” is to build cities without cars at all, where people walk and bike and take the buses and trains.
So what's new? China sometimes murders people. What can be done? Boycott Chinese products? There aren't enough people who will give up their favorite electronics to make a difference, and most diplomatic currency is used on trade deals, Taiwan, and various disputed islands.

What ultimately motivates Xi and the Party? What are their objectives?

Are they simply doing whatever they think will increase China's relative power? And they think unity — suppression of multi-culturalism and dissent — will serve that interest? Or have they gamed out a strategy for 50 or 100 years that's more subtle, and this totalitarian BS is just a phase they'll outgrow?
Really interesting proof of concept, not to mention the page is pretty! The majority of concept pages are super ugly.

One minor criticism, the "using 20 prescheduled audio events" sequence cannot be stopped by the stop button, it seems to just continue running (on Firefox at least).
Can’t you just run it through a cdn somehow?
The central dynamic when someone is lecturing is that there is some sort of audience learning from the lecture. Hopefully willingly :)

Listening to a lecturer is very helpful if the listener already has a fair grasp of a topic and uses it as an opportunity to critique and refine their own opinions. I've been to lots of lectures in my time and I found it very counterintuitive that I got more out of lectures when I already had a deep understanding of the topic. They are much better used to figure out what a smart person's perspective is rather than for picking up facts (better done from a reference manual or other book).

I might have a bias towards technical lectures with a few equations on the board, but most students in a lecture hall that I've seen don't understand the subject well enough to get much out of the lecture. It becomes more a process of reading the slides to them rather than anything that a lecturer is needed for. There will be three types of students in the hall, in order of best to worst performance; not taking notes because they already understand the topic; taking notes to aid them in private study, and not taking notes because although they don't understand the lecture they also don't know how to use notes in private study later on.
I wrote a bad metronome using setInterval at some point (http://server.saagarjha.com/metronome) and had somewhat different issues: if you moved the page to the background, my browser would throttle it and coalesce the events so it wouldn’t actually “tick” at the right rate anymore. And for whatever reason, in WebKit setting 60 bpm just doesn’t make any noise at all…
Hi all, thanks for reading. It’s late here but excited to read comments tomorrow. Please be patient with the site, it’s getting the HN hug and keeps going offline.
It is a short story but here are 'summary exerpts' that perhaps will serve as interest to others, to read the full story.

- The Communist Plot to Assassinate George Orwell

- When George Orwell returned to Barcelona for the third time, on June 20th, 1937, he discovered that the Spanish secret police were after him. He had been forced to return to the front in order to have his discharge papers countersigned and, in his absence, the Communists had initiated a purge of their perceived enemies. Orwell was on the list.

- David Crook, a young Englishman .... He was eager to join up with the International Brigades and fight the Fascists. He was descended from Russian-Jewish immigrants ... Like many young men who grew up after the First World War, he was attracted to left-wing causes. He moved to New York City, where he attended Columbia University and embraced radical politics, joining the Young Communist League.

- He (David Crook) .. Recovering in Madrid, he socialized with the literary set ... At this point he came to the attention of Soviet intelligence agents. After recruiting him, the NKVD sent him to a training camp in Albacete, where he was given a crash course in sabotage and surveillance techniques.

- ... He compiled reports on the Orwells, Kopp, and McNair and, at meetings in a local café, delivered them folded up in a newspaper to his handler, Hugh O’Donnell (code name “Sean O’Brien”). ... Crook reported that Kopp and Eileen were having an affair, the kind of information the NKVD valued for blackmail purposes.

- While on the run, Orwell persisted in the “ineradicable English belief that ‘they’ cannot arrest you unless you have broken the law,” even though “practically everyone we knew was in jail by this time.”

- The Orwells and their friends made it to France and safety (the first newspaper they read contained a premature report announcing McNair’s arrest for espionage). A secret police file, dated July 13th and prepared for the Tribunal for Espionage and High Treason in Valencia, denounced Orwell and Eileen as “confirmed Trotskyists.” The report was compiled with information from Wickes (and almost certainly Crook). Orwell had fled just in time.

- Orwell needed to tell the world, and most importantly his fellow left-wingers, the truth about what was going on in Spain.
Just shut the place down. The grants won't be coming in any more. Let's not pretend otherwise.
It may have more to do with the "haha lol", which is an antipattern for rational discussion.
Ok so dumb question I always wanted to ask, about the arbitrary prices. Let's say I have no insurance and I collapse on the street, get rushed to the hospital and revived, after which they send me a bill for $10k. I didn't agree to any treatment; I didn't sign anything. What prevents me from saying that I won't pay it - not in "you can send it to collections" way, but in a "this is a fraudulent bill" way, like I don't owe anything at all? If the hospital can claim by fiat the price was $10k after the fact, how come I cannot claim by fiat the price was $100, or send the hospital a counter-bill for $9900 for having had the privilege of touching my chest? I mean, a car dealership cannot send me a bill after the fact for an extra $10k for driving off the lot?
(Semi-)serious question, actually. What would they do? There's no contract.

Even if I did sign something in an emergency, I may be able to claim to not have been capable enough to reason about it, due to shock/mental issues given the emergency.
Nice read! Love this trend of including "X minute read" on articles these days, great to see if it's worth a look!

Xinjiang is my hometown, the riots is terrible, many people died in the event(most in the first 2 days), I was impressed becuase I know one man's two twin girls killed in the riots, and the angry man orginized many workers in the next day's riots(revenge...)

It's a complex thing, as I know, there's too many media misleading, in both side.
They were a bunch of bored engineers... they weren’t thinking straight!
Migrating Confluence Server to Confluence Cloud has taken so much time and support that it would take a strong company to handle migrating out. Of course there are specialists in this migration process, whom I maybe should have hired.

As an engineer, I love Confluence, every business I've interviewed with has used it, and I'd be slightly worried about how a company survives without it. I don't care about Jira, except for how it works with Bitbucket.
Absolutely love this. Right out of Mr. Robot. I like the concept of anonymizing versus just obscuring the face. Gives the viewer something to focus on without revealing identity.
It's such a shame that Hashcash never took off. It solved many of the problems with decentralized messaging a long time ago.

You register with this service, get a new phone number from them that they auto-answer, then provide this number to the security service. When the security service calls this number, it will play back DTMF codes to simulate whatever buttons you need to press to enter your code key.
This is a really neat concept! I love how you can see other people and their literal sightlines.

Some people have said that they wish movement was faster; I completely agree with that.

I also wish that more of the interface were integrated into the "museum" -- it would be nice to be able to go to other subreddits from within the museum itself rather than having to leave and go to the address bar.

I'd also like to be able to see comments somehow, since that's 80% of the experience of reddit for me!

The movement speed is definitely a dealbreaker though.
I take it to mean that back end development has less new stuff going in n compared to front end. Deep back end, like networking or systems development has even less new. Kernel or embedded, even less new. Not sure how true it is, but that is how I read it.
You're correct that Amazon does NIH correctly and most companies do not. Amazon's pipelines and web (especially frontend) tech at scale is leagues ahead of the 'market'. However, very few people are able to appreciate this, so it's best to not even mention it on a forum like HN.
Taking money from a pedophile, going into business with one, endorsing one, securing favors from one, or receiving praise from one is pretty bad. Just meeting one seems significantly less. Not clear what Gates actually did.
Fun fact: Tiny Speck was actually Stewart Butterfield's second game company.

His first game company also didn't do well, so they pivoted to release Flickr.
According to the former PM of Australia, Kevin Rudd:

"
1. The centrality of the party, keeping the party in power for the long term, as well as Xi's power within the party;

2. Consolidating the internal unity of the country;

3. Maintaining sustainable economic growth to ensure a continued increase in Chinese living standards, breaking though the "middle-income trap," while balancing now against a parallel requirement for environmental protection now demanded by China's urban elites;

4. Keeping China's 14 bordering countries in a benign, and preferably supine state;

5. On China's maritime periphery, projecting its regional naval and air power, politically fracturing U.S. alliances in Asia, and ultimately removing the United States from the immediate region militarily;

6. Leveraging its economic power across China's vast continental periphery, causing Eurasia, and in time the Middle East and Africa to become accommodating to China's economic, foreign policy, and security interests;

7. and Reforming parts, but by no means all, of the post-war international rules-based order over time to better suit its interests, and to better reflect China's domestic values rather than those of the post-war consensus.

Women actually have it better since they always have their purses to put their phones on.
More like WYSI what you can't figure out how to get in my experience. Versus Mediawiki's much easier to monkey with markup.

Thanks for the link - it’s a good read.
That's actually kind of shocking. I assumed ABS was mandatory, or at least standard across the industry. Looks like it became mandatory in 2004 in the EU, 2013 in the US (alongside requiring electronic stability control). In comparison, the US has mandated airbags since 1998.

The original title is "Clubhouse announces new collaboration tool and free version of its project management platform", I'm not sure if it changed or was editorialized here.

I thought it was interesting that the HN title ("Jira competitor Clubhouse launches free plan, Confluence competitor") emphasizes Jira (to frame Clubhouse).
I see no problem with informal competition on social media. The really skilled underwater photographers get way more likes on Facebook than my lame pictures do. So from that perspective I'm losing. But I've learned and improved my technique a lot from following those experts.
Can you explain that more? I'm not following.
A bunch of articles I read about receiving unwanted medical care while being unable to consent (e.g. while unconscious, or involuntarily committed when the person was actually sane) advise readers to get a lawyer to have them drop the bill. Oddly, I can’t find any reports by people reporting success or failure doing that.

Of course that’s different to your proposed situation - but if you were indigent then Medicaid would be billed.
Can you look for restaurants and order uber with it?
The Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard Keynes, 1919
I think this could be one of the reasons for Uber pulling out Twilio. Someone must have said 'hey we will build our own telephony suite .. '. I wonder how that has panned out.
You really should not use this old-school QuickTime VR reverse-drag scrolling on a mobile device. That is not what anyone who's used a touch device in the last ten years expects.

When someone drags on a touch device, they expect to be dragging the thing they see. You touch something on the screen, move it around, and that thing follows your touch. Whatever you touched, it follows your finger around.

This site does just the opposite. When you drag on the screen, things move in the opposite direction. That's how QuickTime VR worked, but no one who is used to modern touch devices will be able to use this without being confused.

Or desktop devices for that matter. There is a simple solution: just study how Google Street view works on both mobile and desktop devices, and do that.

This could be a great site, and I would love to try it again if this one fundamental bit of navigation is fixed.
Does slack really fall into the same categories as any of these though?

>Office 365, Salesforce, Adobe Creative Suite, ADP

I'm not a coder but these applications seems vastly more complex than slack - and thus I would be willing to pay more for them.

>DocuSign

This seems closer to being along the same lines as slack, but I feel like docusign doesnt sell it's "software" per say but rather implementations and operational change consultation.

>Shopify, HubSpot, Zoom.
Not sure what these are

Sorry for the late response

Not a dumb question. If you don't have insurance, you can make such claim, and very likely you'll never have to pay. If you do have insurance, it's very likely that your insurance has pre-existing contracts with the hospital. Even though the hospital can't force you to do anything, it's likely that they can force the insurance to pay.
I am not a parent but I have experience with short sleep cycles when racing yachts in long ocean races.

A watch is around 4 or 6 hours on deck, and then 4 or 6 hours to eat and sleep a bit before going on deck again. This can last for a few days or a few weeks.

I am always amazed at how quickly my body starts to treat each on/off cycle as a biological day. It takes around a day to get used to it, and a day to go back to normal when the race is over.

But I feel like I could continue in that pattern forever, when doing it.

Apparently long distance solo yachtsmen will sleep 10 or 15 mins out of each hour, sometimes for months, with little ill effects.

Humans may need a certain amount of REM sleep per day, but my experience is that is doesn't necessarily have to contiguous.

>Is it related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2009_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_rio.... ?

Well, let us examine this possibility by reading the article.

That was in 2009 and according to the featured article, in 2010 he was promoted to the President and Vice Secretary of the Communist Party of Xinjiang University and he only recently disappeared in 2017.

So I am guessing it would be rather unlikely.

>It's a complex thing, as I know, there's too many media misleading, in both side.

This is also something of a problem in the commentary, it would appear.
It can absolutely still be useful, and it would make sense for an early stage startup or someone's side project to use it so they're not duplicating work porting it to .NET, Cocoa and Qt or whatever. And sure, having an identical look and feel everywhere is nice. But with all the resources that Slack and Microsoft have, they need to publish a lengthy guide for the users to deal with their performance problems [1]? They take 22 seconds to load a 6 MB XML file [2]? Ehhh... it's not asking that much of a multi-billion dollar company. You deserve better!

> iCloud backs up app states and data.

Although I believe the app developers have to be aware of this and utilise the various storage options correctly - certainly in my latest restore, a whole bunch of apps had lost their state (logins, etc.) Most disconcerting and aggravatingly inconvenient.
Given that so many people claim to thrive on less sleep, whereas so many other people in the same gene pool make no such claim, there seems to be quite a bit of evidence that nurture is far more at play here than nature. Not to say genetics has no effect at all, but it seems pretty minimal.
