I see I didn't articulate myself clearly.

I later confirmed it, by carrying a co2 monitor with me and noticing every time I get that type of headache, it's because the co2 was too high.

The device I'm building will be attacked to my backpack and connected to my phone via bluetooth so it can push notifications descretely, allowing me to get out of a place where the co2 levels will give me a headache, without the social cost of taking out a co2 monitor everywhere you go.
> A lot of the time, it's actually difficult to find certain goods in stores here (or to know which store to go to).

Exactly this. I want to support small local businesses and I’m happy to pay a slight premium for that (as well as being able to look at/touch the physical object that I can then immediately take home with me), but I really can’t be bothered to spend an hour or two trying to track it down. I wish brick-and-mortar shops would get together and build a platform where I can search their inventories and find the places close to me that carry the item that I already know I want. Bonus points if I can compare prices too, but I can see why they might not want that.
Ask HN: Best Functionality for Character Animation Tool?
Hi! I'm conducting research on enhancing the character animation process (more specifically, to complement and augment traditional hand-drawn animation). I’m interested if there’s any particular functionality you like about existing tools or if there are any exciting new functionalities you would love to see? Thank you!

To have a fair discussion about this, you should probably also consider subsequent page loads after the first. With something like next.js, you get almost instant page loads after the first, because they are routed client side.

If the app is designed properly, the 500kb bundle is only loaded once, and cached until a new one is released. Subsequent requests are for data only.

Also, be sure not to conflate react performance with degradations due to third party marketing scripts.

Thanks for the questions. I'll make sure to expand the FAQ when I get a chance.

1. The USD that you can use to unlock USDf (forked dollars/digital gold) is limited to deposits at commercial banks and credit unions. The public does not have access to electronic base money, so it's not included.

2. The quantity of USDf you can unlock is based on your historic bank balances, as verified during a defined window in the past. New credit money created after that point in time doesn't affect those past balances. To the extent that the owners of new USD wish to acquire weight for them, they'd need to purchase USDf, increasing its value. That is sort of the whole point: if governments keep inflating their money, the "forked" version with guaranteed scarcity will gradually increase in value.

3. USDf will trade at a different value than USD. At first, a much lower value. The idea is for them to be employed in a hybrid unit of account, USDw, where 1 USDw = 1 USD + 1 USDf.

A crypto-weighted dollar (i.e., USDw) will trade at a premium over a USD, since it is a USD + cryptographic weight. Think of it like a stablecoin that also comes with Bitcoin-like inflation protection. However, it's also possible to use USDf as an independent asset, and that will be convenient in use cases where transferring USD on existing payment rails isn't practical.
What's disappointing is all the idiots on the Internet who say things like "well, if you don't like all the mass surveillance build your own..." and now we see just exactly how difficult that is. We need our own whole new Internet at this point. Or we can put a stop to this politically, of course.

Define "Investing in improving structure" - Of code? of system architecture? of teams and of company?

Define "is x better than y" - are we talking about comparing two different activities, or is the question about different ways to name the same subject?

Is it better because it's a more productive activity, or because "if you do y, you'll also get x as a side-effect" ?

I'm sorry, without much clearer phrasing, the question is hopelessly ill-posed to me. Can't answer something that could mean anything.

It is hard to overestimate the importance of the OEIS in enumerative combinatorics.

I discovered the main results of my PhD thesis essentially as follows:

1. Find complicated construction A, hoping to prove some new results.

2. Fail to sufficiently understand/analyze A.

3. Write computer program to analyze characteristics of A for small n.

4. Using OEIS, discover that apparently A is (in some sense) equivalent to some completely different construction B, which is much simpler and well-understood.

5. Show desired result as well as further other results using B and variations of it.
Yes, probably Panama's poorest regions are poorer than Chile's. However, is important to take into account that Panama's GDP is not even half of Chile's and Gini Index of Panama and Chile is almost the same [1].

Anyways, yes, that's something that voters should resolve. Sadly, there's a big discontent towards the political class in Chile (against both left and right-wing) and last elections had low participation (around 50%).

Germany (leading solar/wind):

Huh? Germany leading? Their fabled Energiewende was about moving away from nuclear. It had the unfortunate effect of moving to more coal plants to ensure base load is met.

One problem with wind power in Germany is that they don't have sufficient capacity for north-south power transmission. They've got wind in the north, they need it in the south... problem solved, you'd think. Alas! They need far, far more capacity over very long distances (1000km).

Anyway, I would not have called Germany leading in solar xor wind, but i didn't look into this. Perhaps the rest of the world is even worse? Seems unlikely though.
The problem I have with opportunistic refactoring, in the context of Scrum at least, is usually the extent of the cleanup is not known until you start making changes. By that time, you have already given an estimate for the story points. Hopefully, the business considers this a forecast. Unfortunately, many times this is considered a commitment. If you do the refactor, you may miss your commitment, and easily measurable things for the business (your velocity) look bad while something that was not easily measured (tech debt) remains unquantifiable and unchanged either way.

A lot of this comment isn’t born out in reality. Around 30% of marriages in the US are from people who met in the office, plenty of people make life long friends from people they met at work, etc.

> COBOL on a mainframe would remain current for decades

Only if the underlying problem solved by the program doesn't change for decades, and even if this case, the piece of software in question is a constrain to the industry using it. I'm sure a dentist would loves to have some fancy REST 4.0 BUZZ-WORD-OF-THE-DAY client management system.

I am using some industry "standard" industrial CNC software and it not only constrains me to 15 years old hardware but also restrict me to use programming quirk specific to this software which very much qualify as being "tech debt". In this case, the business is built around the software.

Yes, some tools such as the query analyzer by depesz [1] work by copy-pasting the EXPALIN ANALYZE output into your browser.

But IMHO the overall friction is still too large for such a central use case as query optimization done by a database admin.

The PostgreSQL team has been innovating and improving steadily, so I am confident these kind of workflows will be heavily optimized within the next couple of years.

The notion of manifolds as mechanism for behavioral or cognitive control is not new; much work has been done in the field of movement science e.g. juggling and other forms of dynamic pattern generation. See for example JAS Scott Kelso's Dynamic Patterns or Spivey's Continuity of Mind or the newish field of Radical Embodied Cognition.

This is fairly systems neuroscience oriented approach much welcome, but not ground breaking.

"instead, they'd hire a few new full-time workers and cut their freelance budget altogether. If I didn't get one of those new jobs — and living outside of major media hubs like New York City and Washington, D.C., makes that likely"
If you run the psql client from your dev machine, there’s no need for step 2. Also, in practice I don’t save the output JSON to a file, I just pipe it directly to pg_flame. The README breaks it up into multiple steps, but maybe I could make it clear that it’s not necessary.

But in general I do agree that simplifying this type of tooling is a good thing and something to strive for.
Nope, the claim is this:

If the company chooses to only use 1099, that's their choice. But they have a W2 option out there.

> * the company has to pay for many types insurances, benefits and the other half of social security tax. This usually adds about 20-30% of additional overhead on each worker.*

That's pure nonsense. If you're not providing health insurance -- which is not required under a threshold of hours per week, and which a freelancer like this is in no danger of hitting -- social security plus medicare are about 8% for the employer. On minimum wages of $12/hour in california, you're paying nothing like 30%. The employer also wouldn't be paying for office space, computers, internet, IT, or treating the employee decently (food, drinks, etc), all of which is rolled up in the typical 25% that employers use as a rule of thumb for overhead. The actual required overhead is minimal.

Now if the employer doesn't want to pay a fully loaded W2 cost of probably under $13.50/hour for CA, that's their choice. But they don't need nonsensical numbers made up to support them.
This doesn't seem simple to me. A fully connect external coordinator, helping to determine which preexisting central weightings can be re-used for the specific task at hand, which tasks need to be redirected to less well-trained networks, and which need novel training, with the final prediction being an amalgamation of all results. Just the idea of trying to design a DL network with similar properties blows my mind!
In financial terms, it’s more like you sold an unhedged put option.

Man, so much of what you write resonates with me, and quite much matches some of my current questions or ponderings.

I would love to be able to meet a few people in similar situations around a bonfire, and chat like friends. Perhaps we'd come away with some insights; otherwise, we'd have at least enjoyed the company of a few new friends and some warm fire light.
Some truck companies make their employees pay for the truck lease. If workers can't finish enough deliveries then not only do they not get paid, they actually make a net loss. This means there is no lower bound for wages, if you exploit your workers diligently then you can get them to pay you for the privilege of working for you because they believe they will eventually receive ownership of the truck when the lease ends but they usually get fired before that happens.

This has implications for the automation debate. Robots require electricity and need to be manufactured in the first place. This means you can't actually "exploit" robots the same way you can exploit workers who receive government support or support from relatives.
After Apple destroyed safari extensions and forced everyone to use declarative net requests, there are few options. I’m pretty sure Ghostery is now unable to perform the analytics or data collection from previous versions. KaBlock and others are worth trying. There are few options, so I’ve settled on Ghostery for safari on macOS
> Just think of the huge decrease in pollution when a startup could take all those Android 2.0+ phones...and convert them say into home controllers, portable music players etc.

When it comes to Android 2.0-or-so phones, this is already possible in many cases. Just grab an old CyanogenMod image from the archived version of the site, grab kernel sources from the Lineage OS git repository, and start hacking on support for that phone as part of the postmarketOS project. The real problem is that every single one of those phone models runs on bespoke hardware, there's no standardization like you would find on the PC platform. It's a lot of effort for an unclear gain. A startup is not going to do this, especially when those phones are irredeemably insecure against sophisticated attackers, due to proprietary implementations in the baseband and WiFi/BT radio components.

This link (Part 1) is outdated due to Purism's blog post the same day:

I am an early backer of the Librem 5 and have been following the campaign as well as comments of jaylittle and others on related forums.

I think I speak for many users in feeling that jaylitte's somewhat extreme reaction is counterproductive. But at the same time we have been disappointed in Purism's lack of transparency bordering on deception regarding Aspen. We have been waiting a long time for this phone and are okay with waiting a bit longer, but not so okay with being deceived.

Does anyone know if this exploit has any lasting effects?

After this, you can start appending ?a=<your command> to all PHP scripts (you may need multiple retries).

I'd love some way to confirm that my mitigations have worked and that I am no longer vulnerable but, y'know, running random slavic exploits against the server seems a bit sketchy.
It’s more evidence that you should assume everything is vulnerable and layer protection.

For a home network simple multi-port knocking should be enough (combined with --ctstate NEW even better). If port knocking or SPA is too cumbersome then at least consider limiting access based on GeoIP, block tor exit nodes, etc (ipset is pretty amazing).

This can be applied to any service on your network btw, including Wireguard. I like knowing that a portscan of my network shows nothing open. I don’t end up on a list that gets used in the next ‘spray and pray’ attack.

Disclaimer: I’m not advocating this for serious use due to replay attacks and IP spoofing via a VPS. This is for home network protection (a boring Class C non target).
What’s the threat of a security vulnerability in a 3rd party mobile app that tightly sandboxes your app - especially for a none financial app? I would think that if even a vulnerable app could affect other running processes or the OS itself, you’ve found a vulnerability in the underlying OS.
Highlighting:

I think it used to be worse, with lots of glitches, but I'm glad those now seem to be gone. I'm still annoyed by the multi-step process to highlight something, however. Select something -> Click "annotate", sidebar opens -> Find the annotation you just created -> Save it without typing in any text (remember to save it, because there's no auto-saving for some reason!).
It should have been done with "Click 'highlight'". Since clicking the highlight still expands it in the side bar no funcionality would be lost by modifying the annotation feature to directly just save a highlight (If you still don't know want I would like to see, have a look at Medium's implementation).

Search:

Thanks. After testing it out again half-heartedly, it seems to find things. However it's just frustrating when you want to find back to an obscure site you have been on weeks ago, Firefox history is comically useless and you think "Oh, nice thing I have Memex installed" and then it doesn't find it, even though I remember that being the promise.

Click jacking:

When I want to open a context menu on some text using my finger I have to long press on it, but the degraded accuracy can lead to the click landing on the Memex menu (admittedly this seems hard to fix). Trying to reach far out page elements can lead to the side bar obtruding it. Both of these cases are very annoying.

I don't generally oppose the popup: It would pretty convenient for quick highlighting if highlighting was actually quick. But then again highlighting is not very quick and the "share highlight" feature, (that is very cool) is not only of much rarer use, but also extremely confusingly implemented. Why do you need to be able to share a highlight before it has been created? Why is it not an option for an actually created highlight? Why does it not show me the link, but try to copy it to my clipboard, which doesn't even work on my machine (Manjaro/KDE/X11/Firefox)?

I like that there is a close-button on the popup, but I do find it way too obtrusive. It's not a feature a normal user (or at least I) will want often. That it's shown at the same priority of the other items confuses me hard, same with the options in the side bar. I think I will disable it, since the icon does all the things I need.

Why are there collections AND tags? Don't they do the exact same thing?

Why is there no option for a denser page listing so I can see more than 6 pages, (which would be good while trying to find something, and why else would one open it)? Why can I only have it sorted chronologically, not by number of visits? Can I even see that anywhere? How about length of visit (do you record such things?)? Minor UI addition (hey. seems like the place for that): The opening of the pop-up looks pretty jarring. A more fluid animation would be nice :-)

These are mostly complaints, but I'm glad you're working on this project.

I'm also really happy that it seems to be continually improving. I wish you lots of success going forward!

>Most places that’s more than enough to live comfortably.

“Comfortably” is certainly a matter of opinion. But that 17.3k is a purchasing-power parity average, targeted at HN’s largely rich-country leadership. The nominal average income per person in the world is 11.4k.

http://m.statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-gdp-capita...

So we have taken the usual cost of living adjustments into account, and the question is, do you want to live on the equivalent of 17.3k per capita US relative to the cost of living in most of the US — somewhere like, say, Pittsburgh?
Ok, lets say you earn $80k a year. Google will pay you $120k. So you stand to make $40k in 1 year extra if you get the job. And if you don't get the job the skills transfer to other interviews anyway, so you'll get some kind of job at, lets say $100k.

You ask for 6 weeks unpaid leave. Could be one block, or 1 day a week for 30 weeks. This will cost you $10k gross by my calculations.

Even if you get the $100k job, you are $10k up after 1 year, with no friends and family time sacrificed at all.

As a bonus you were effectively paid for 6 weeks to learn CS skills rather than bash out features and not learn any new computer science skills.
