Fun fact: They mandated all packages of snus (a "dip", or tobacco you put under your lip) sold in Norway must be plain and in this color. But it actually looks kind of good—very minimalist. So much so that people like this packaging more. (Image and source, Norwegian: https://www.itromso.no/ntb/iriks/2019/10/02/N%C3%B8ytrale-es...)

When asked how much they like the new packaging, 30% say "a lot" or "pretty well", compared with 20% for the old packaging. (Norwegian, https://www.nettavisen.no/okonomi/hoie-boksen-skulle-vaere-s...)

Is it? I thought about it like that for a long time also. But nowadays i think think this thought applied to the 'city killers' on or slightly above ground only.

OTOH there are many satellites up there whose missions are unknown (to us). Who is to say that some party wouldn't try it, maybe during a geomagnetic storm? Or, maybe some crazy like NK because, hey, got china watching my Six!1!!
Of course the orbits, and therefore the owners are known.

This does not need to be 'high tech' in the way some understand rocket science or reentry vehicles to be.
Just some crude device which survives start and waiting 'up there', then being ignited later, without the complications of reentry heat and burn.
User retention? ;)

Color me interested! There’s so many layers to measure: from natural language understanding to pagerank-style relevance ordering, filtering duplicates to presenting the different permanences of content (breaking news vs books on the same topic).

We use Pragli, and I feel like it's the opposite. Rather than a Slack back and forth to see if someone is available, setting up a video conference, connecting, etc, you can pop in and say "hey, you have a minute?". They can say "no" or "can you come back in 10?". It's like stopping by someone's desk. If they really wanted to be heads down they can be in do not disturb mode. They can still show as online (so their presence can be "felt"), but have a status that says "Focusing" and block "calls". I think it's great.

That will never happen for Wikipedia. Their content is tiny in disk space and not growing very fast. They are also drowning in money, despite what their donation begging messages claim.

The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is drowning in data and pinching pennies. Still, they're doing okay, and the constant decrease in per-gigabyte HDD costs are allowing them to continue for the time being. They absolutely need and deserve your donations, however.

If HDD price/gig stopped going down, however, they might be in a lot of trouble.

> Both Linux distros and MacOS are transitioning to x64-only

I think this isn’t true.

Although more Linux distros aren’t shipping full x86 images anymore, I don’t think that actually impacts x86 support on AMD64 setups. Some limited amount of x86 packages continue to be provided for running Wine and legacy proprietary software.

macOS is killing the ability to run 32 bit code at all. There’s not much of a true technical reason to do this that I’m aware of, it’s a decision similar to Windows disallowing 16 bit software in 64 bit Windows.

Under Linux AMD64 not only can you run 32 bit software, you can still create 16 bit code segments as well. No vm8086, but it can still be used for emulating old Windows applications.

Eh. Slack and other chat programs are just as fine, and would enable less distractions.

Don’t get me wrong, this is still a good idea. As a remote worker, I would not go for this solution. I already use slack, and google calendars.

IMO I don’t need more than that. And I think your solution is convenience oriented. Nothing wrong with that of course, people pay for convenience.

This seems more suitable for companies / employees that are semi-remote. I don’t think people who are fully remote would be for this.
Why does militarization of space not make sense? It makes a lot of sense unless you're a pacifist.
It actually has a slower CPU, and fewer of them, according to him. But these kinds of machines are where GPUs, architecture, and software all come into play. Cores, bus speeds, subsystem speeds.

There's vastly more to computer performance than the reductionist "It's a PC, in a nice, expensive machined case". In fact, that sounds condescending and dismissive rather than a comment in search of enlightenment.
Well, now I feel like I'm in a jack in the box ad.
They don't really beat around the bush:

> The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the use of big data and modern techniques to drive new discoveries and cures by analyzing large healthcare, genomic, and other personal health data sets. China’s State Council treats the role of big data in health and medicine as a national priority, and China is building national and regional health and big data centers in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Nanjiang, and Changzhoi. China has also launched a 60 billion yuan ($9.3 billion) precision medicine initiative that will benefit from this capability.

> China’s biotech companies have access to healthcare and genomic data on US persons through various channels, including investments and partnerships. At least 23 companies with a nexus to China are certified according to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), giving them direct access to US medical and health data via their participation in our healthcare system.

> Compared to other nations, the US has fewer protections on sharing of medical and healthcare data, including internationally, facilitating foreign access to data on US persons. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects identifiable information more strongly than any US regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). China’s laws go even further, preventing export of data on Chinese persons and requiring a permit for each research use of genomic information.

> China’s efforts to acquire US health data combined with limited data protections by the US raise questions about national security. Theoretically, access to private information on security-sensitive US persons creates a risk of blackmail and may reveal health conditions exploitable in a targeted attack, although no public reports suggest this has yet happened or is a current aim of the Chinese Government or industry.

> China has numerous laws requiring or authorizing access to private-sector data by the central government, ostensibly for national security reasons. While it is difficult to discern the level of access afforded to the Chinese government through these laws, their vagueness when it comes to oversight could allow collection of data to go relatively unchecked.

> The US is not moving as aggressively as China to advance the use of big data in healthcare, and that could, over time, open an innovation gap. The US can prevent this outcome by investing in its own infrastructure, knowledge base and scientific enterprise.

So much this. Honestly, there is a condescending tone in the parent comment, it's the usual "Do you feel depressed? How about we go to the movies? You'll feel better!" type of advice. My brain can't produce the appropriate neurochemicals that yours (parent comment) can, so in the past I've had the need to use antidepressants to supplement my brain.

Lots of people don't understand this.
It's often set up as a binary. Either you are a VC backed "big play" or you're a lifestyle business.

I am surprised that the book [“The Blue Nowhere” by Jeffery Deaver](https://terebrate.blogspot.com/2012/11/book-review-blue-nowh...) hasn’t been noted as one of the plot points explores the machine human interaction like this. Neat read BTW.
> You're right. Any psychiatrist that prescribes Adderall will tell you that it affects those with ADD differently than those without.

This is based on the assumption that the person being diagnosed does indeed have ADHD, and is not, say, afflicted by a poor home life, or poverty, or any other contextual scenario that may lead to the inability to focus, temporary or otherwise. These are important questions because of the overprescription crisis we are in. Millions of children are being given these medications; many are misdiagnosed.

And this isn't "medical advice" -- this is a frame of personal experience with an emphasis on very textbook side-effects: potential for loss of appetite; potential for loss of sleep; danger of misuse and / or abuse. All things a psychiatrist, if responsible, will / would have discussed before writing a script, but oftentimes don't.

A reminder that "your milage may vary".

> it's s possible, for any number of reasons, that one might want signed API responses independently

At it's core, HTTPS works because there is a distributed system of trust. The principle is that you don't need to directly trust the server that you're communicating with, but you trust another computer that has vouched for the one you are communicating with.

If you roll your own security in any way, at some point you need to send an encryption or decryption key. Even "unhackable" encryption algorithms are worthless if your adversary knows the key. Thus, you need a way to communicate that initial key information securely. Currently, the only way to do that is by (1) manually entering the key on each server, (2) using near sci-fi technology like quantum communication, or (3) by having the keys pre-installed on every machine by the hardware manufacturer or OS provider.

The option that has worked, HTTPS, uses option 3. Maybe you can roll your own encrypted communication system, but you'll either have to rely on manually entering the keys (which in turn rely on other insecure methods like email and phone), or trust the computer's manufacturer to pre-install the keys on the system your using.

There really is no way to "roll your own" system securely without these steps.

> 1. Weight change, either bulking on muscle or fat can change your optimal dose for medication... And it's my opinion (and totally just my opinion) that starting to treat ADHD usually leads to a weight gain, either by getting you more able to exercise or increasing your activity and caloric intake.

Stimulant medications are strong appetite suppressants, and if not specifically paid attention to, the usual concern is weight loss.

To the point that an actual medically approved use of certain stimulants is for weight loss. You can in fact be prescribed meth (Desoxyn in the US when it's coming from a pharmacy and not the backseat of a 1996 Chevy Caprice) by your doctor for obesity if nothing else is working for you.

Speaking to personal anecdotes, while unmedicated there's always been a certain quantity of accidentally skipped meals, with medication I could go the day without eating much of anything and not be particularly bothered.

On the other hand, I'm better at sticking to structure with medication and eating at normal mealtimes more often, even without a hunger impulse. I do still wind up having to mentally (or otherwise) tally what I've eaten in the evening and sometimes shoveling in a pile of extra calories because it obviously wasn't enough.

So there are pulls in both directions, but IMO I'd say the weight loss is more likely to accidentally happen.

> 2. Resistances, stimulants build up resistances pretty quickly for most people so if you're unlucky you'll likely be med hopping for several years until you run out of options or find a winner - if you're lucky and don't build up a resistance then you're probably set for life.

The usual advice I've always been told is to not take it if there's times you don't need it. If I'm going out to have fun for the day on a weekend, or taking an unstructured vacation for a week or the like, I typically don't take it.

I don't think it fully resets those resistances, but it's allowed me to continue to get a noticeable benefit out of a steady, middle of the road prescription.
Although I would like it, unfortunately I think the CCTV horse has bolted.

Google is pretty much taking your shit nowadays and there is nothing you can do about it. That shit is either a company you built or a product of theirs that you used. They are not a search company, they are a conglomerate. They'll buy you or break you. It's funny when they fail though isn't it? Remember Google+? Who lead that initiative? What a travesty that was. Outside of Gmail, Google's UIs really do suck.

But back to the point. There really isn't anything wrong with what they are doing, they are a typical business. Again, nothing wrong with that. They do stuff for their own self-interest. They are not your friends. Organic search results get in the way of advertising.
Do places actually offer fixed term contracts now? Last time I was looking at contracts I was stuck between recruiters/employers demanding an ABN and the ATO saying I wasn't eligible. The ATO were right because the work has to be performed on their equipment and on their schedule but most recruiters/employers hadn't adapted yet, so anyone without an ABN were SOL.

I wouldn't want to go too hard on this, but there is something a-moral, if not immoral in shifting the apparent cost line, but actually putting the consumer into pay-more outcome. Up in the budget planning space for tech we often do the opex vs capex thing, and it is clear we have to be very specific what window in time the capex/opex is expected to equalize or show some benefit. Otherwise, you can incur opex forever, and pay a lot more than the capex (yes, modulo the non-obvious costs of operations for owning the capex)

But nobody does this for razors.

> I think you are right. ... At some point system 1 will need to talk to system 3 to validate the message

Yes, this is why any post claiming to "roll their own security" is a farce. The current way security works (using HTTPS) is to pre-install trusted certificates on the machine at the hardware manufacturer or OS installation level. The keys that are pre-installed are this initial high level (usually root certificates), can then secure lower level machines, which can further secure even lower level machines. This only works because we trust our hardware manufacturers (e.g., Dell, HP, etc.) to install the correct certificates. These manufacturers are analogous to "System 3" in the example above.
Here's some solutions -

1. Ask on HN directly.

2. Find the core functionality of your product. Make the most obvious or likely typo you can come up with that doesn't sound bad.

3. Find keywords and experiment with google translate for different languages. Convert those phonetic sounds to English or whatever target audience you are going for.

4. Write a program that generate names randomly with a Bayesian filter trained to remove spam, nonsense etc and check phonetic difficulty. At the end, find words sounding similar to your keywords, target audience, etc for your products.

5. Make your name based on the problem you are trying to solve. Find a way to describe the problem in one word and do something on that.

6. Use existing name generators or finders.

7. Use YNAB scheme: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YNAB

8. Use anagrams or reverse anagrams of popular similar products. Eg - Node = Deno

9. Describe your values and goal in the name itself.

This won't give you a readymade name but you can take heavy inspiration.

Note - this is in no particular order.

Best of luck!
