LOCs don’t work either for more situations than I can count in my experience. I’ve had 50ish LOC stuff that implemented a tricky algorithm that was core to a system and required careful design, implementation and testing, right next to 700ish LOC stuff that was super straightforward and basically just laid itself out.
I met my current partner on Tinder but I just didn't bother to look in my current place of residence.

I wouldn't recommend Tinder to anyone though.
You are right, and I ran into a few of those variations including "we still live together and sleep together, but we don't feel any emotional connection any more."

And point well taken about suspecting incompetence rather than malice. Or not even incompetence. I can easily imagine some poor overworked web developer (maybe someone like me!) trying to meet their deadlines and business requirements and not even realizing that the "funnel" should have had a filter at the very top instead of waiting until the end to note the error.

This is why I try to put myself in the shoes of whoever is using my app and hopefully look at it from their perspective. I try not to just to ask myself if the interaction I'm building meets the technical requirements, but how will the person feel who is using my app?
"never" implies a really strong sentiment that is rarely evoked by the issues in (2). I think most people would not let these issues deter them if there were sufficient benefits to set them off.

Some people have strong feelings about the choice of technology or way of working, though, so interesting questions might be: which mainstream programming language would you never work with, no matter how great the product? would you work with waterfall on a dynamic product if the salary was high enough? etc.
This is ok but many sites strip the plus now (usually the most nefarious ones). Plus you’re linking your identity back to your gmail account which is probably not what you want to do on a dating site or in general online.

I think this method of actually measuring and cataloguing the food consumed instead of relying in a poll is the way forward.

We should repeat this kind of studies. This methodology should be encouraged.

I just have a small doubt about a particular point: it mentions 'a very low carbohydrate ratio'.

But this is not clear at all.

Is 30% of carbohydrates very low? So far some studies actually claim this.

Is it 5% of carbohydrates, like the ketogenic diet proponents claim is necessary to be in a ketogenic state?

For me, the proportion of carbohydrates that can be considered very low actually makes too big a difference to not to dive further.

I think that really depends on where you live. Here it is basically the other way around, you order, you drink, order some more, and before leaving you pay the bill, with the bartender keeping a tab of what you ordered (these days with a mobile POS). The only "regular" exception is when they're about to close the place, then they often ask you to pay on delivery.

Except the "our card reader is broken, we can only accept cash"-surprise, I can only remember three occasions this actually caused some hurdle for me in the past decade-and-a-half.
That’s only one consequence of the regulations taken after 2008 (the leverage capital requirements forcing banks to shrink their repo book, reducing liquidity in the repo market).

Tighter rules on capital requirements for holding many other asset classes, bonds in particular will also reduce a lot the capacity of banks to make a market for these instruments in bad times, resulting in more volatility.

None of that is new, banks have been warning about that for years. But it will only become visible in a sharp market downturn.

HN: Postkid a small CLI curl command line builder
Recently I was investigating the Matomo HTTP API and wanted to perform some experiments. However writing curl commands manually started to be really cumbersome. I was looking for alternatives however found Electron based applications like Postman or Postwoman or some online tools only and I do prefer to stay inside my editor most of the time.

So I wrote small CLI only helper called Postkid (simpler and smaller version of previous tools) which generates curl command line from Yaml input file. Tools will take a case about query string and path quoting. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Why is EDF paying 9%, is that a recognition of the risk of failure?
One (older) theory to support this is the Randle cycle [1], according to which, glucose and fatty acids can not be metabolized simultaneously. So, the presence of glucose will lead to any available fatty acids to be stored away.

Ask HN: How do online marketplace platforms acquire an initial user-base?
Hi HN. I am developing an online platform, where users can find other users to perform a specific service for them; similar to Fiverr but a lot more niche.

These types of platform can only work if there is a healthy portion of users that provide services and a decent portion of users who want those services.

As such, how do you launch such a platform with zero/little users?

You could acquire the service providers prior to launching (e.g.: via a pre-lease sign up page and a marketing campaign to go alongside) but that has its own issues: for starters, no-one will have any reviews, and from a technical perspective you'd have to implement a way for those users to complete their profiles before launch.

I have seen suggestions of faking a user base, but that does not sound appealing to me and I am not sure of its legality.
I've tried a number of dating websites in the past year, and all of them are like this.

First and foremost: No matter how hard they try to hide it, the male/female balance on all straight dating sites is completely off. I'd say it's about 80% male. So most of them fill with fake accounts to get the balance backs.

The matching algorithms don't really exist, they are extremely primitive and usually optimised for engagement. All services show you a whole load of super attractive people on the first use (either fake or just popular profiles), only at the second day of use you get to the real profiles.

Due to the imbalance and fake accounts, as a male you rarely get response on messages. Most men just give up after a while and start to spam generic pickup lines to just about every profile. Woman get loads of messages per day and stop responding. It's vicious circle. As a male, it becomes very difficult to stand out if you are actually interested in someone.

The marketing is optimised badly towards your emotions (loneliness or sexual drive), I regularly got email messages where they "urgently need men to sign up for the next dating event, because only woman have applied so far". One of the services send me a total of 8 (!) reminder emails after I cancelled my subscription, that suddenly all these photo models were trying to send me a match request but couldn't because my account was closed.

I like meeting new people but online dating just raises my anxiety and frustration. I don't think this can be 'disrupted' either, it's just a terrible business to be in since the incentives are completely misaligned.
High carbs high protein works just fine for me. Hell, there was the time (in college) where my diet consisted of ramen and chocolate and it still worked. I am with the op, as long as your weight dynamic is acceptable, you can eat whatever you want.
Hello Harish,

I am an engineering working remotely for a US startup from India. This is my second remote job with a US startup. There is a issue with timezone, but the team eventually figure out how to work together.

For example my team is aware of my availability and usually plans things with that in mind. We try to have meeting in overlapping working times. Sometimes we take exceptions where it might be quite early/late during the day for one team member, but these are very rare.

As long as you have good working relationship & good team , it should not be a big problem.

That fee is insulting. And if that kind of thing starts being applied consistently across large enough areas, I'm sure retailers will manage to fill out the paperwork and maybe increase prices 15 cents to compensate.
One major factor in the US is that, from the perspective of an employee, employer plans have a massive tax advantage compared to anything the employee could buy outside their employer.

If your employer pays your insurance premiums, this doesn't count as taxable income for you. So you effectively have a choice that looks like:

- Your employer directly pays $200/mo for your insurance, or

- Your employer pays you $200/mo as cash, the government takes $40 (adjust as appropriate for tax bracket) out as income taxes, and you have $160/mo left over to pay for health insurance.

I can't really speak to the political forces that keep this subsidy in place, though.

I am your target audience and few things put me off:

- no SSH access to nodes. As you mentioned in the docs ideally we'd need node of it, but restricting me to just dmesg, ps and top via osctl won't cut it.

- due to combination of lack of SSH and custom kernel , it is probably next to impossible to run perf tool, which should be compiled using kernel headers of the currently running kernel. Same goes for bcc or any other bpf based tools

- node joins the cluster based on a static trustd username and password. It kinda defeats the purpose of all the dance around PKI if static secret is all you need to become a node. This part is hard to get right, but TPM or vTPM on cloud providers can be part of the solution

- provisioning cluster is easy part. Upgrading it is where fun begins. There should be clear demonstration that you covered this case in your fully automated OS/kubenretes installer, I couldn't find any on your website

- you introduced own components, namely trustd, osd and proxyd. There should be a diagram of what runs where and how control and data are passed between different components.

- building your own OS is a big task, you probably base yours on something, would be good to do document tha, this would make it more trustworthy

I mean this is a standard story in economics, right? Something about lemon cars. If the information isn't available symmetrically, then the person selling the quality is going to lose out on the person selling the branded fake quality.

I am so sick of hearing that same old story "people don't want to pay for quality" because it's bullshit. I try to, but it's not always on offer, half the time it's just a more expensive (probably nicer-looking) version of stuff that lasts about as long.

I'm not talking about shoes. In fact I grant your point on shoes, if dress shoes were the only kind of shoes we need. Which is of course nonsense and I'd love to hear where you get for instance running shoes that last a life time.

But jeans. I've bought expensive jeans, I've bought cheap jeans. There is zero correlation how long they last. It's a gamble. In fact, because the cheap ones will occasionally surprise you with some serious longevity, the best gamble is in fact to buy the cheap jeans and see which keep best.

But unlike shoe stores there's usually nobody around who can tell you about their relative quality. Or they will tell you anything. Again, that's the lemon game. Lack of information. Not unwillingness to pay.

I am certain that many people calling out the "people don't want to pay for quality" are just trying to signal "I can afford expensive stuff" and kind of forget about the part where they can also afford to occasionally buy something expensive that is also shit, doesn't last quite as long as the premium suggests, but not feel it in your pocket and keep telling yourself you buy quality.

See I can afford $400 shoes, but I can't afford to "try" $400 shoes.
It's incidental what the numbers are. Given how effed the US system is, I would fully expect that $1200 being spent on the entirely wrong things, like a few super expensive drugs, and a lot of antibiotics which should have been dirt cheap getting a ridiculous markup, or on Oxycontin.
> but that it would have to be much _more_ like grocery stores to call it a free market.

Except not really. If I'm poor I can choose to eat nothing but ramen. I might not like it, it might not be the best for me, but it'll keep me alive. If I'm poor and have a heart attack I can't choose to just take tylenol, I do need that bypass surgery.

The ability to walk away from a transaction entirely is what makes the market free, and because health care is life or death there is simply no way to make it a free market, you are compelled by your life to make (many? most?) of the transactions.
If you build nuclear power-plants as bespoke one time builds, they will never be cost competitive.

This is the problem with the approche taken in the Western world for nuclear. A few were built a long time ago, then the industry mostly went in decline and then in the modern day a few individual projects were greenlit.

Nuclear was always only cost effective when you build many of them. As in the early expention of US nuclear, or in France.

Nuclear in an effect produce to much power, a country like Switzerland (where I am from) would only need to build one every 10-20 years for all the electicity needs and that will never be cost effective.

Even worse, each country historically has its own designs that they want to push. Today you could probebly be cost competitve if you let China or South Korea bill some reactors, but that will not happen in the West. France, Britain, US, Russia, Germany all want or wanted their own reactors.

The nuclear industry will not be saved by these mega projects, but if its safed at all, it will be newer reactors that can be build smaller. The pure size, complexity and regulatory requirments, plus the interest rate absolutly kill anybody that is trying to build a Gen III reactor.

I love nuclear and had envoirmental movement focused on pushed for them we would have had a viable solution for climate change back then. We see this in France, they had green power for almost as long as the debate existed and provided a clear model that somehow nobody else adopted rather talking about wind and solar for decades.

Wind and Solar are still very questionable while nuclear was ready 30 years ago. Now it is slowly changing but we lost lots of time.
This isn't what people typically mean when they talk about weight loss, though. Which is why normally you hear recommendations for measuring your weight at the same time every day with an assumption that your eating patterns are roughly constant.
> Some people like [cigarettes] and some people use it to pay for stuff, and they want to see more people like them, so they can transact in [cigarettes] more.

Therefore cigarettes are currency. Liking something is not an argument.

> frankly ill conceived semantic arguments about the academic definition of a currency

My argument is ill conceived because it's "just" based on the academic (legal) definition of currency? We truly do live in a world of "alternative truths” and “alternative facts” where using the actual definition of something in a relevant context is frowned upon.

It's important not just to look at current electricity usage but total energy needs. To truly decarbonise you need to stop burning gas for heating, stop burning fuel for transportation (or convert to Hydrogen) and so on. So the existence of countries that can supply their current electricity needs via renewables doesn't immediately imply that for a zero carbon future renewables is all that is needed.

David MacKay covers this in his excellent book: https://www.withouthotair.com/c18/page_103.shtml

As for political will I feel we should first start with the numbers and works out what adds up. If people don't want nuclear but nuclear is the only path to zero carbon then we'll need to choose one or the other.

Right now we can make great progress by ignoring nuclear because there's lots of things to be done. So go all in on renewables and ditch nuclear is a politically easy choice. Does great things for the stats and many people don't like nuclear. Will it take us all the way though?
> I'd say it's about 80% male.

It's more like most women will go for 20% of the men. If you're part of the 80% you'll feel alone. As an experiment just make a fake profile with some model's picture to discover how many women are around.
I think that's implied by the use of torrents. Bittorrent is not commonly used as the official distribution channel by professional wordpress plugin authors, I believe.

Calling the German policy a success when they burned coal for 30 years while France produced carbon-free power for all this time is really rich.

And Germany clear would have the chops to pull of a nuclear build up if that was their focus.

Had Germany done so they might now be close to done rather then still decades away from carbon-free energy.

I'm going to guess that when PCBs were introduced, you couldn't get them for a couple of dollars from China either.

These kind of things tend to become cheaper over time, as manufacturing, competition (newer or competing components) and availability grows.

So I assume it's at least possible that at some point, a few decades from now, they're cheap :)
