If someone says they can see jesus with their naked eye and then tell people clearly they did not mean they can see jesus with their naked eye when they said they could because everybody knows jesus is not real is not hyperbole - it is either signs of mental instability or some half arsed attempt at gaslighting.

I'm pretty sure when her mother said "She can see carbon dioxide with the naked eye", what she meant was "She can see carbon dioxide with the naked eye" and I base this belief on the fact that "She can see carbon dioxide with the naked eye" is verbatim what she said. I don't see why you are berating me for claiming someone said something which they said without qualifying that they did not mean what they said. If she did not mean what she said she also can clearly say that instead of trying to gaslight people.

This would be like Bloomberg trying to defend themselves in that case where they were fined by France for publishing fake news by claiming clearly it was not fake news but hyperbole because everybody knows it was not true - which - if it is not clear to you - would be absurd.

Let me put this in perspective: I'm 28 years old, lived in 3 different countries, two of them in Europe and one of them in America. I've never paid out-of-pocket for health care in my life. I've broken bones, had anaesthesia surgery, 4 teeth removed, dental care, cleanings, hospital stays, I've had a kid 3 months ago (everything pregnancy-related, post-partum clinic), skin care, optician, dietician, psychiatrist, etc etc etc...

The concept itself of fighting either my health-care provider or my (state-mandated) health insurance to get coverage is completely foreign to me and I'm only familiar with it thru the Internet by reading what people from the USA write.
Hey guys, Saltar is a web builder with “Google Docs” experience. I have been developed over the past 2 years (with changing the name twice).

A nice feature is “Static Mode”, which generates the design into a static file, make it extremely fast.

Last November, Saltar is launched on BetaList, and so far received 500+ signups.

Since then, I’ve been looking for feedback and improve it. I’d appreciate any feedback.

Thank you!

If the device doesn't have a secure element, how can anyone take it seriously as a strong root of trust? The page lists several recent attacks on secure element, but that's not really enough to convince me that no secure element is needed.
The word is there to create a catchy headline. The article very much goes into the why:

* Many jobs provide poor opportunities for advancement if desired.

* Many jobs provide poor compensation relative to cost of living.

* Many jobs lack stability, either in pay, hours, or continued employment.

* Many jobs provide limited agency to improve working conditions or business practices.

The last one is something that even I, a holder of a cushy tech job, grapple with. Most of my job is fine, but it's painful to deal with boneheaded and poorly thought out management decisions that management neither cares to justify nor is willing to accept feedback on.

There's a lot of "I'm in charge, so we're doing it my way, which I know is perfect because I decided it was" in American corporate culture, with little avenue to course-correct, as the most frequent response seems to be retaliation for bruising someone's ego.
Chill? I was talking about Riace, and if you had been here you would most probably agree.

Trust me, €20/day was not what I expected. Why do I get the feeling you're just trying to find reasons to hate?

No I didn't and no it's not, this could happen to anyone. Everyone is just one disaster from being left to rot. Blaming the person is how we cover up the complete lack of empathy that rules this world. We do exactly the same to mentally ill and criminals, it's all their fault because anything else might mean we're part of the problem.
Sorry, English isn't my first language. To clarify, I signed up for an elective cosmetic medical procedure. The doctor ordered pretty much every available lab test there is to check for any possible complications. One of the test revealed that I had elevated liver enzymes. A couple of follow-on tests later confirmed Hep C. I never went to through with the original cosmetic procedure because I'm no longer in the mood for it.

Satire definition:
"the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues."

From Wikipedia:
"satire is a genre of literature and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement."

Not only is satire bad for communication, it's bad for learning, since it must presuppose the person creating the satire is not in the wrong. Generally people who are open to learning start from the perspective they too might be wrong. Of course, you are welcome to show me examples of when satire changed your mind... that would make me reconsider a different perspective.
> Giving sites high authority and then bumping up other sites who are linked from those places is definitely a weird way to implement a ranking system.

Why is that weird?
I've had a similar list for embedded. Unfortunately I've yet to fit many of those criteria without relying on GC. Maybe Zim, or Nim. But then you won't get introspection.

Rust using one of the actor libraries based on async, might suit embedded really well if cross platform support matures a bit more. Rust cross-compiling requires a C linker & compiler for the target platform but Rust doesn't respect the standard environment variables for setting them using LD/CC/CXX environment variables. Though it'd be really interesting to see if anyone can setup Rust to run on an embedded WASM to allow introspection / real co-routines. IMHO, that'd be awesome.

Currently I've settled on a Forth (in Forth style, an implementation I wrote https://github.com/elcritch/forthwith/) to give me an interactive environment without GC and stable timing (important!) with ability to add C function calls readily. Interactivity is big for me in the area I'm currently working in. Forth can easily be extended to have tasks / co-routines too, though I never tried implementing them. And of course, Forth macros are like exercises in puzzle solving.

AtomVM does look interesting, but early stage. Erlang VM actually matches embedded really well. The actor model in theory lets each process run it's own GC which makes the GC model much simpler than other dynamic languages. Modern OTP is large and not suited for embedded as you mention, but pairing it down to basic actors and processes would fit well on many modern embedded MCU's. Elixir and Nerves is great for SBC/Linux embedded computing and some boards like the Omega2/Licheepi Nano. There's also GRiSP (https://www.grisp.org/) that runs BEAM on top of RTEMS.
The legislation also pushes providers to implement the technology. The incentives aren't quite aligned for phone companies to stop spoofing on their own initiative. They're still making money on these calls.
He might want to promote it because he truly believe in it, not just because he want to get rich from it.
Taken at face-value, your comment reads like "a significant portion of the population should not expect to live with the same quality of life their parents had, in the same city that their parents live/grew up in"
Trivial for a motivated attacker, true. But also do note that you don't need to readout the entire flash, it's enough to be able to extract the hash of the PIN (or cut power before the eprom is updated after an attempt) and that is fairly easy given there are next to no side-channel protections.
I've actually stopped paying attention to https://github.com/vitalets/github-trending-repos because there are so many Chinese repositories each week.

It's just rare to get them on HN, because it's a nightmare to go through their docs and they're usually not even attempting to write their code in English. Basically unusable for all intents and purposes, even if it were quality software.

"Spoofing" is just a name for using caller ID you shouldn't. There's no tech solution for it... unless we create a global federated registry that can be queried online, a new phone network which cares about it, and migrate every phone in the world to it. POTS will be alive longer than us.
That sounds like a pretty awful idea. If you're using a C library for parsing JSON then you must add an additional C to Nim/Crystal conversion step that requires additional RAM and CPU time.

I think my biggest block to success was that I was just to happy! :)
The very reason I had started that business in 2001 was because I wanted to travel full time.

I managed to do that and I was already in a "too good to be true" state of mind.

The happiness and fulfillment I got from those years are now my own "essential oils" for the occasional hard times.
When something goes wrong I just have to go back, smell a drop of that, and I'm back on my feet in no time.

I wasn't just looking to grow the business, it was a mean to an end.
> So naturally if you consider lack of exercise as the natural state of humans, sure it will appear physical activity improve brain function.

I think not wanting to do more work or exert more energy than needed is the natural state of all of nature. Nothing does anything more than what requires the least amount of energy. However since humans are at least somewhat self aware they can 'determine' regular exercise is ultimately less annoying or less energy than being obese, depressed, and with likely more medical problems.
I never noticed this spoofing ability in Europe though. Can someone make a phone call and appear to have a different number (and is this about mobile or landline numbers)? If so, why isn't it being done at large scale in Europe to get around apps that block known call centers?

Why would there be no tech solution around fake caller ID? The phone company knows who it's billing for this call, doesn't it?
Wow ! sounds great. But what if the quality of a pic is bad?
John Medina in Brain Rules for Baby[0] suggests I think, a practical framework for kids screen time that is informed by research. It boils down to minimize screen time where the screen is stepping in as the babysitter. Instead, try to make it co-viewing where you and your child watch together. Then you can reference it later or discuss any points they find confusing or scary. Avoid violent content, because the kids are sponge mirrors. They soak everything up and then act it out later. I've seen this play out with my kids, we watched avatar the last Airbender (the cartoon) and they were benders for weeks afterward. I also watched Elf recently and shortly after the scene where Buddy gets yelled at my toddler was repeating the same phrases at a younger sibling.

Show HN: Net:SSH:CLI – A Gem to Work with CLI Sessions
Whose brainpower is cheaper: the professor generating 30-300 novel, unique programming challenges at an appropriate (and identical) difficultly level per course per semester, or the student who's paying to be educated?
Right, the problem might arise from when you have some people making $9/hr and others making on the order of $1k-100k/hr. Those two groups both occupy and influence the markets, and if you don't keep that gap small enough you risk people not being able to afford the cost of living. I agree that if you paid everyone $10-15/hr, no one would be producing any goods that no one could afford.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. An open source way for people to continue to use the formats that are well-used in the business space is inherently better than everyone just using Microsoft Office, which is what everyone will do if Office support isn't good.
I just wanted to share my simple gem I am using at work for a while now. Originally I was using a custom version of net-ssh-telnet for a long time. I use this gem to handle long-running SSH CLI Sessions on Network Equipment which can't handle multiple Channels per SSH connection. In an ideal world this gem wouldn't be needed, but here I am. I use this gem for various scripts and apps to get and write data to our equipment. The main problem this gem tries to solve is to handle the state of an unreliable text stream. It has various methods to work with the current buffer and to wait for a certain output. In my case I can't just rely on looking for a prompt on the CLI session since there are many inconsistencies on the CLI implementations.

It's used on equipment of multiple vendors but sometimes I just use it to run a few commands on our servers.

I assume there are many better ways to implement this buffer-handling and waiting logic. I also found it quite hard to get the performance right and to deal with net-ssh itself. To be honest, I wouldn't consider this my best work at all, but it does it's job nicely and is a pleasure to use compared to everything else I have seen.

You can try it yourself:

gem install net-ssh-cli

require 'net/ssh/cli'
require 'readline'
Net::SSH.start('localhost', ENV["USER"], password: Readline.readline("Enter your password:")) do |ssh|
cli = ssh.cli(default_prompt: /(#{ENV["USER"]}.*\z)/) # lets hope your prompt contains your username
puts cli.cmd "ls -alh"
puts cli.cmd "echo 'hello hackernews reader'"
end
Found this interesting, although frustrating.
Do you have studies to prove that zero screen time is beneficial? I have a two year old who has learnt plenty from his screen time - between 15m to 30m per day.

Payroll, in fact, is a very small slice of manufacturing costs. Actual components, overhead, utilities, equipment,etc. all are larger pieces of the COGS. More automation, IoT compatibility are the keys to reducing costs. Less real estate, more remote logins for support (the folks on the other end of that call earn, too).
I also hit a question on the highest level where I think the answer was 11, but there was no way to input a 2 digit number.
You’re getting flak for this comment and I think it’s because people aren’t interpreting your point of view fairly. There certainly are many cases where people are legitimately struggling to make ends meet (and I don’t think you’re saying otherwise) but I think you are absolutely right that another big problem is that many people are making ‘enough’ money but simply don’t know (or don’t want to) spend it wisely.

It isn’t just the lower class, either. I know far too many people that make six figures and still complain that they live paycheck to paycheck, but meanwhile blow $500 at the bar every week, or buy a new $300 pair of shoes every month, or a new $1500 iPhone every year. There is a weird phenomenon where even people with means will prioritize luxuries and then complain that they don’t have enough money to save for a house or save for retirement. You see this on HN too, with several recent examples of posters saying that their $300k/year FAANG salary is too low and they can’t afford to live on it.
The thing is there that Gates might have his own reason to gatekeep the word platform.

Obviously something does not become a platform when people write software for it and the value of that software exceeds the value of the company that creates the platform, because this would mean that the day when the value of that software is $1 less than the company then there is no platform but the next day when the value is $2 more there is one.

A platform exists when the company that creates the product has provided the means for third party developers to write software that runs on the product.

As to whether it is a successful or important platform that will be determined by the amount of revenue it generates and the amount of applications written for it and the amount of people that use it. If the software for a platform did not make very much money, comparatively to other endeavors, but there was a lot of it (think free software written for Linux) then the platform still might be important.

If these amounts are going up and the company making the product is also doing good you have a growing platform. if it's going down you have a decreasing platform. If it is going down real quick, or the company that makes the product is declaring bankruptcy or announcing they will be shutting off the possibilities for development on the product - thus standing in the way of the platform - you have a dying platform or will have one shortly.

Obviously aside from all this you will be able to find platforms that are well made and that you have confidence in their longevity and their company's support and platforms where you do not have much confidence. Platforms where you think it is worth investing your time to write software and reach customers, and platforms where you think that is going to fail by the end of next year. For some of the reasons you outlined above I believe aural platforms will underperform visual platforms, although this does not mean that one cannot make money from the platform or that they will not end up having their own niche.

I wouldn't say I know more about what makes a platform than Bill Gates, but I have less reason than he would to try to define what is a real platform or not.

The "reportable disease" qualifier must be an important distinction here. The article doesn't say how many Hep C deaths there are, but a search showed about 19,000 annually. That's a far cry from 50,000 estimated pneumonia deaths, and still just under the estimated 20,000 MRSA deaths.

School presents students with artificial rules and an environment that simply doesn't reflect the real world. They call it academic integrity but it's really just artificial difficulty. In the real world, people work together as a team, they build on top of each other's work, they have free access to reference material... The real world is pretty much the opposite of a school exam or assignment.

In school, people have to prove themselves by doing stuff without any support whatsoever, only to be punished for any and all mistakes. All grades are final: there is no opportunity to review one's mistakes, learn from them and get re-evaluated. Either get it right the first time or risk failing the course. Of course people cheat: the cost of failure is simply too high. Outside school, people use every trick in the book to lower cost and risk; somehow that's not acceptable in school.

> Your job as an employer is to squeeze as much work out of your employees as possible. That means doing everything legal to keep them from leaving (have to make back that training investment), or to have the option to quickly dismiss them if they're sub-optimal or causing problems.

If one accepts this point, both "dangerous" and "humilating" are counterproductive for the employer, since these properties of jobs provide a good incentive for an employee to leave as soon as he/she can afford it.
