The worst one for me was the guy who didn’t wash his hands after using the restroom. One day, one of my team members told me about this, and I didn’t believe him, ha ha, so a few days later I’m in the restroom and this guy comes out of a stall and just walks out the door. So about a week later my guy who’d complained about it had some problem with one of our other systems, and who do they send over to help him out? You guessed it - Mr. Doesn’t Wash His Hands. So I watch this guy sit down at my team member’s keyboard and work on some stuff with him, then after he leaves my team member gives me this horrified look and gestures at his keyboard. I straight up just walked over to his cube, unplugged his keyboard and threw it in the trash and told him “Go tell IT you need a new keyboard.”

It was easier to just throw away the keyboard than to have that conversation with someone. What grown adult needs to be told to wash their hands after they use the toilet? I later learned that almost everyone on the floor knew about this guy and they were all sickened being around him.
The FAA doesn’t control the worldwide skies. Indonesia didn’t ground the plane, nor did Ethiopia. Europe also didn’t ground it after the first crash either. The FAA’s jurisdiction is the United States: other countries could have grounded the plane quickly but didn’t.

Well, no. My point was that conversations are not zero-sum games. You produce intimacy via information exchanges, which you both benefit from, though there will always be an information asymmetry between you and your conversation partner.

I know analysing social interactions is seen as a rather, if you will forgive the term, "autistic" (or worse, sociopathic) way of looking at things , but some people do not have the natural capacity for social interactions that the vast majority of the population enjoy. I myself have wondered for years if I lay on the autism spectrum before getting diagnosed with ADHD and so all this I had to learn explicitly from years of observation.

Medications are another huge area. Medications that some people depend on to live may be either banned, regulated in quantity, or require some kind of proof (doctors script etc) to bring into some countries.

This was a lot of fun; I'd definitely play level 2.

The nice thing about it was that you had some flexibility around getting the exact SQL query, and just visualizing a slightly larger superset of the data.
He insisted that I should get a fresh cup with a lid and straw and all just for water.

I do this (literally) a thousand times a year at various Starbucks (water, ice, icewater, more hot water for tea, etc.). I'll occasionally be offered a new cup if the existing one is marginal, but not once has a reuse been denied me.

Pro tip: they're selling their annual January tumbler which includes free drip coffee or tea for the entire month of January, for $40. It's a nice stainless steel cup, too.

And for any cup, you get $.10 "own cup" discount.
> Because it's a customs faff

It wouldn't be if there was some nice website laying out all the rules in an easy-to-understand way...

Your logic is "nobody needs a site detailing customs rules because they shouldn't be traveling with the things that I personally already know might conceivably cause a customs faff". The point is the website would solve the problem.
Modernist design is too tied to fascism to be nostalgic for me.
You may refuse to fly on 737 Max, but how do you feel about 737-8200? Boeing will likely not use the "Max" name when the plan is put back into service. See: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48995509
I did just that. I hired Darrell Fandrich to build it. He started with a 5'10" case and soundboard built in Guangzhou, China but discarded the soundboard. We chose a scale design by Lothar Schell and a Holy Grail stringing scale by Fandrich with strings custom wound for the scale by Mapes in Kentucky. The stringing scale included special Mapes aluminum strings that cover the first six notes above the point where the overstring section begins—these are designed to better blend the the overstring transition which can otherwise be notchy. A custom soundboard was crafted in Boston from hand-picked straight-grain Siberian spruce and milled to a diaphragmatic shape that mimics Steinway soundboards where the center is about half an inch thick but, to enhance liveness and sustain power, tapers down to about 1/4 inch at the edges where it meets the case. A custom Renner action was added and outfitted with Abel Royal Blue grand hammers. Key weighting and fine voicing conducted in stages over the course of several months finished it off. That was in 1998-99 and it is still the best keyboard I have ever used.
The final point would perhaps be made a bit better if the embed was the same width as the article. I was wondering why there was horizontal scrolling when the content fit on screen at first.
The article title and headline sentence confuse the reader.

Proprioception is an interesting and exciting mental process that is important to artistic expression, human growth, mental development, and cultural communication.

Whew. The opera "Nixon in China" has an embedded ballet. The embedded ballet has the uncanny property that in a few minutes it retells the entire story of the opera.

Why is ballet so expressive? Why does the nation of Russia need ballet? Notice on youtube, the Russian dancers are extraordinary. A prima ballerina who came to New York, drew comments that "She dances in Russian." And the untutored viewer could see it too. The nation devotes considerable resources to the art.

What is happening when 1st through 5th graders in an American Elementary school run around and scream at the beginning of the school year? Were they running around to generate huge amounts of propriaceptive signals to the brain? Is the screaming part of the brain sending motor control signals every which way?

Finally, why do opera singers stand up to sing? Except when they are dying or portraying a special propriaceptive statement like kneeling (to pray or be beheaded).
In proportion to the exposition, badly stored eggs kill way less than the overall history of the Boeing 737-800Max. Cars also kill proportionally less.
Last time I looked at the numbers, riding a motorcycle on the city killed more. by a small margin.

Of course, that is extrapolating from the small number of flights and deaths that occurred. I don't think the sample is statistically significant enough to compare with cars... but the eggs are on a quite safe territory.
It seems to affect different people differently. Some commit suicide and blame their childhood abuse so it was probably bad for them (or they were led to believe it was bad). But perhaps those severe cases also had severe psychological and/or physical abuse or neglect. The sexual aspect gets adults all angry but those other things are extremely common and usually perfectly legal while also ruining people's lives.
Well, just to buyback the 400 existing airframes you'd be looking at $50 billion in cash, to start.

Boeing doesn't have $50B cash, or anything close to it.
Genuine conversations are sometimes risky. Quitting once you have a job secured can be favorable to being fired, for example.

Not having genuine conversations is part of the game unfortunately. Most orgs are political.
San Francisco doesn't want the law applied equally to everyone: that would preserve existing structural injustices. We want the law applied towards equality, cutting down the rich and lifting up the poor.

Punishing an already poor and marginalized person is counterproductive to that goal, so we try to avoid it as much as possible. And that's probably who you're going to find on the other end of a car break in. So why bother looking?
Urgh, when I said IntelliJ initially I meant JetBrains... and I guess it's too late to edit my comment now.
It’s a central part of “Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy”. They call it “releasing” though, not suppressing (perhaps that word isn’t new age enough?...)

I live in the UK, so my experience is in NHS hospitals, which are rather more frugal in their decor.... however over-treating patients in their 80s is little different on this side of the Atlantic.

It's not done for a profit motive in general here, but more that nobody loses their medical license, and no NHS trusts get smeared in the gutter press, for trying to "save" a life against all hope (see the controversy surrounding the Liverpool Care Pathway).

The lack of any legal route to assisted dying is also a problem. Even if that was introduced here, it would probably only cover people with a specific terminal diagnosis, not the more common scenario in the elderly of repeat curable problems.
It would also help to just have a short booklet which lists down even 20 things which are well established to improve your nutrition like:-
Don't eat any form of refined sugar.
Drink more water.

This thread is a lot of help - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3282998, however reasoning behind them is not super clear.
Yep -- a classic "Expected Value is not the only thing that matters, but also one's Risk of Ruin" situation.

The counter-argument is this: do we still overestimate our true risk of ruin when it comes to asking sensitive questions? Are we actually going to get fired (or whatever horrendous thing) for not asking that question? I bet the answer is that we still overrate our true probability of ruin when it comes to these things.
"the joke wasn't funny" is your opinion, and clearly it's own kind of bait.

The comment was upvoted and well received, and even generated an actual discussion until it was flagged and people jumped on the bandwagon.

There was nothing wrong for people who approached the comment and "assumed good faith"
One lesson I've learned from 10 years using Stack Overflow is that its moderation is obnoxious. Eventually, in 2013 I started jotting down links to questions that were closed despite being well-written questions with thoughtful answers, whenever I encountered one in the normal course of my day to day work. I'm well past 20 at this point. And that's not counting the Serverfault article I just saw the other day where a user had a question about compiling php (a technical question that received a correct answer). The question was closed for being off-topic. Compiling web server software is apparently off topic on a site for system administrators, confirmed by multiple mods.

Stack Overflow's content is good because:

1. The site design is high-quality.

2. The users are high-quality, and early on received a lot of positive encouragement to ask good questions and provide good answers.

The site does not need much moderation, possibly apart from cleaning spam, harassment, other blatant violations of site policy, or possibly duplicate questions (mods should have the decency to actually read and understand similar questions before closing as dupes). The idea that closing stuff like "A vs B" comparison questions improves the site is just hogwash. The reason "A v B" comparisons on SO don't devolve into fact-free opinionated bloviating on SO is because (a) the site is so rigorously designed to encourage quality posts and (b) early on they attracted a large and serious userbase devoted to making high-quality contribution. Mods have nothing to do with it.

I've found this phrasing also works well when conducting interviews.
There is no risk of stalling.

There was never any risk of stalling.

MCAS was added solely so that the 737 MAX 8 could share a type rating with the previous members of the 737 family. This is what allowed Airlines to put pilots on this plane without any significant new training.

Reviews and listings seem to be taking a backseat now in India as well. A couple of years back you could expect to see a new restaurant listed and its menu posted within a couple of days of opening. Now it often takes months.

I got the potential reference. I just don’t understand what’s being said here—is it a joke?
I know I don't sound like it, but I completely get where you're coming from. It's weird and rather sketchy to find out that someone you're talking to is just following rules in their head. It's just that for people like me, conversations are not primitive actions. We need an explicit mental model to anchor ourselves, and while that doesn't excuse predatory behaviour, models are still just tools at the end of the day and some people need them to be seen as "normal".

I'm not sure there's anything one could say that would unjustifiably lead to that.
You can't really say that without substantiating your claim. It follows that you have just about as much of a right to have kids as you do to kill people.

Software & data undergo diffusion, such that they will always expand to fill all available resources. Unless it's designed with very specific limits, it will always continue to expand.

This article is about computer keyboards, not musical keyboards. What you’ve posted doesn’t make sense in the context of this topic.
Any other female HN readers feel viscerally uncomfortable and discouraged after reading this?

I get that people =/= averages, but I don't want to bet on myself being even MORE of an outlier than the men who achieve what I want to (become a great programmer, found a wildly successful startup...)

Just want to get a sense of whether my reaction is normal. Bonus points if you can tell me how the hell you cope with seeing stuff like this.
A number of commenters seem to be confused. This link is about computer keyboards, not musical keyboards, as is immediately evident when viewing the link. Please at least click the link before you comment on a Hacker News post.
Do you have a source for that number by chance (assuming it wasn't just off the cuff)? I understand and don't argue the idea, but 65 isn't passing my smell test, that seems absurdly young.
> I thought ICANN was supposed to be the good guys?

Through the lens of ultra-capitalism, "the good guys" are a market imbalance to be exploited. A variation on "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

In hindsight, the fragility of overall Internet governance was incredibly obvious. Even if this .org sale goes ahead, the governance is still fragile because there are many other aspects to the Web / Internet that are still run by "the good guys" and therefore likely to already be in the sights of the morally bankrupt.

The question is, what can we do about it?
How do we react to the .org sale to ensure that inevitable future shenanigans will be met by increasingly profit-negating blowback?

The long term fragmentation effects this may have on the web are... difficult to predict.
If your keyboard is angled outward then you can bend your elbows and still have your hands close together when typing.
For people who don't get how the last statement ties in: on the actual paper, the third line 'iudqnolq quotes has a superset 1 on it. The PDF doesn't allow you to highlight the 1, so the punchline isn't as strong.

When I buy a chocolate bar for $1 and sell it for $1.10 I only gain 10c. If it turns out its rotten and I can't get my money back I will lose the $1 not the 10c.

There are 393 delivered to customers at this time and another 300 produced. The unit cost ranges from 100M to 130M. The cost of all units is aprox 80 billion dollars whereas their annual earnings are about 8 billion. They have aprox 9 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Scrapping all maxes would therefore require them to borrow 9-10 years worth of earnings. I predict they find a way to kill more people before cratering and being bailed out on all our dimes. We should just order them scrapped now and buy the pieces after the company becomes insolvent and skip the dead people but if this happened now we would probably end up with Jared Kushner running Boeing.
Their site supports public comments and, for all the noise, I see all of three comments up there right now. Go comment.
Systemd's real value proposition is its tight coupling. As you pointed out, there were several logging systems, several daemon programs, several hardware managers, a combinatorial smorgasbord of options available.

This means you can't assume almost anything about the distro or setup you're targeting as an application developer. Should I log to /var/log or use journald? Can I bundle a .service file or should I have shell scripts? Can I rely on udev rules or do I need to touch /dev? You can't assume unless you're only targeting Ubuntu.

Systemd is so integrated that programs require minimal porting. The alternative is either supporting everything, which leads to massive bloat, or forcing downstream patches to make the damn thing compile and run. Having a non-modular set of services you can rely on means even small alternative distros like NixOS can support many packages, because those packages require minimal changes.

Consistency across environments is critical. it's why docker is so big - all the wiring lives in one place, and what's inside runs everywhere.

But reducing choices to get consistency and consensus strips away the freedom that Linux offered - you can't uproot and replace components as easily. You can have that freedom or you can have a hassle-free package ecosystem; it's an inherent trade-off.

To surgeons, surgery is the solution regardless of patient outcomes. That is why you should always get a second opinion to hear about non-surgical options.
Air France 447 was in 2009. But since Airbus is European, it doesn’t warrant the same international outrage as Boeing.

There was also the Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 that killed everyone because the pilots were incompetent after an issue with the rudder. But since that was an Airbus, the outrage was non-existent. Indonesian airlines have horrid safety records but it wasn’t until Boeing was involved that it reached an international outcry.

There is a long list of Airbus accidents that many choose to ignore.

The thing we should be really outraged about is the assembly line airline pilot programs in the third world that neglect teaching basic airmanship. US pilots have to have a minimum of 1500 hours before they can even copilot an airliner while some of these countries, such as Ethiopia have pilots in the right seat with as few as 200 hours. Boeing made a mistake with MCAS training, sure, but let’s look at crashes from all manufacturers if we want to be fair about this. The intense corruption of Airbus ought to be under the same scrutiny as Boeing — why aren’t any Airbus executives in jail either.

This might not be addressing your issue directly, but for my browser extension Refined Hacker News [1], once a user is logged-in in the browser site it is fairly simple to "construct" the favorite-ing endpoint URL. The URL endpoint is "/fave" and requires two query parameters: `auth` and `id`. "auth" is a random string that is unique for each story/comment and is generated from the HN server (it's required for authorization of the "favorite" request), and "id" is the story/comment's ID number.

The auth string of a story for "fave" is the same as the auth string for the "hide" and "flag" links (since they are already present, the links' hrefs contain that auth string), and so we can extract the auth string from their hrefs and use it for favoriting and un-favoriting.

Moreover, I've created a simple API which can be used to get all the favorited items of a user: https://github.com/plibither8/hn-faves-api

Cool site, this would have come in handy a few years ago when I traveled a lot more.

You might want to add a few exceptions to the "best countries to visit" list. It shows "North Korea" as one of the best countries to visit with a Japanese passport. I think most people would not agree... (North Korea has a history of kidnapping Japanese citizens) Also it looks like "Visa refused/Travel Banned" countries are still shown in the list.
Why not? If a person perceives proprietary software to be harmful, as a lot of people do, then it only follows there should be laws against it. Or, alternatively, if they see it like they do speech, others should be able to decompile it, comment, and redistribute it without consequence.
While I do agree WASM makes a lot of sense for the Web, I personally am having doubts regarding treating WASM as a general abstractions for native code as used in the post. For this case, it might suit the job better to have a bytecode that resembles more of underlying machine architecture, rather than a still highly abstracted model like WASM. Please don't get me wrong, I do agree WASM is already one step ahead of, say, JavaScript, but we can do better than that.

The problem with WASM here, is that it really is a bloated model like JVM in its early days, huge amount of work is needed to make it closer to native speed, which is contradictory to the original slogan. What's more, people are still planning to add tons of new features to it: https://webassembly.org/docs/future-features/. Before you tell me those are opt-in features, the question I want to raise is: for an abstraction of general platform, you would definitely want to have a widely accepted standard so people know what features will be expected, one example is that people know SSE will be available for 64-bit x86 code.

With all those opt-in features, I doubt if we can have a proper layer that adapts well to different implementations with different supported features. We might end up with the situation like Rust, where you can claim a secondary compiler could exist, but in practice people are all using the same compiler/implementation.

If ISOC hadn't removed the .org price restrictions, I feel like this could have been defensible. Farm out the management but hold the new stewards under a strict leash, fine. (Of course it wouldn't have gone for $1B+ in that case.) But coupling it with the unrestricted price increases is just indefensibly corrupt and hopefully illegal given that ISOC was never intended to profit from .org in the first place.
I didn't notice I missed that. Thanks
