I'm growing the freshest lettuce, iron-rich kale, and a lot of other leafy greens!

While in college (CS & Math), I got heavily interested in growing food in the most efficient and healthiest way possible. I was a dreamer when I started so I thought more of how to grow 'earthly' produce on Mars, but then I realized that my own planet Earth is so massively underserved.

It's basically like this- I mastered growing leafy greens in indoor closed environmenet, then I tried to cover all the major physical and biological markers, then I try to optimize the most optimal levels of 5-6 variables (currently) that I can fully control and may produce the best phenotype- CO2, O2, Light, Nitrate, P, K. These parameters have their own sub definitions.

So far I have had great results. I am trying to raise investment so I can finally make it a reality. Check the numbers here: hexafarms.com (no fluff)
As a co-founder, we’re building a scalable AI deployment system for banks. On the outset, not as sexy, but our system is meant to highlight deficiencies and problems with AI like bias, fairness, etc so hopefully people are aware and will have the impetus to fix things. Looking to impact change from within.

Baitblock (https://baitblock.app) here:

We help you avoid distractions while working on websites and the internet by installing our Chrome extension. For example, Baitblock removes recommended videos on YouTube while you're working.

It also deals with 1st party cookie tracking. It clears cookie/storage on every page load as long as it detects that you're not logged in to the website (upcoming version removes many bugs) using machine learning (NLP).

Since there are too many cookie/gdpr popups now a days, Baitblock automatically hides them while you're working.

You can also add summaries/TL;DR for any link on a website (right click) so others dont have to click.

The end goal of Baitblock is to block all possible distractions in a webpage and save everyone's time.

The latest version of Baitblock 0.1.0 is awaiting approval with many fixes and new features.
The author of the article seems to be a teen themselves (cf. the first paragraph and usage of 'they' and 'we').

'Mainstream tech pubs with low level programming?' Depends on what you count as low level programming. The tech publications I check out sure contain information about, for example, C and C++ developments.
actually it looks like you’re the troll, and copping out to the “not gonna reply cause i’m obviously wrong and lack further supporting arguments” statement. apple is opening their walled garden up, both music and apple tv plus are available on other platforms now. for the majority this gives us confidence in buying into their platform, knowing we can take our content with us should we decide we no longer want their devices.
Off-Facebook Activity Is a Welcome but Incomplete Move
I thought the whole point of go was to remove extraneous features and provide a completely minimal programming language. The argument being that all those extra features are a source of bugs.

Nevertheless, modules and try... it seems like it’s just an effort to add them all back in again.

Surely if this happens go will be indistinguishable from all the other languages it was designed to be different from?
I'm curious to hear what your approach is and how this turns out. I've heard offhand (at a university) that 3d UIs had performed more poorly than 2d every time they had tried. I guess this is not necessarily user interfaces though. There may be some academic research on this worth looking up (maybe not though because people don't often post negative results).
Please tell us this is just a bad joke.
Very soon. You can always email me at hn@sdan.cc if you want immediate help (although I'll probably go over every point in the blog posts).

But as a summary:

Small GCP instance as "hub"

Server #1 connects to the "hub" redirecting all traffic binded to 0.0.0.0 on ports 80 and other specific ports

Server #2 connects to the "hub" redirecting exactly the same as server #1 but on different ports for different reasons...

Then Traefik(loadbalancer) basically tunnels all traffic for the numerous websites I have running through port 80 on server #1 (note that all my websites are running on server #1, server #2 is just for other non-external tasks).

I set it up such that there's only a single TCP connection from the user to the server (instead of user ->gcp->my server).

Anyways, it's super cool, super efficient, super easy, and best of all, free. I'll update you on when I make that blog post.
Intelligent Data Processing
I don’t think the article suggests China did anything nefarious, other than paying a US professor to do some research in China and help develop a university in China. Which in my opinion is what every other country should try to do with good foreign researchers. In this case the game seems to be played by the researcher.
It might be nice if the list was in a git repo that people could contribute to

I've been meaning to improve "news" for a number of years now, with limited success so far. The current news industry is broken beyond repair: all you get are bite-sized irrelevant factoids. A good news service would be:

- Relevant to you and your interests...

- ... but diverse enough to feed your intellectual curiosity

- Delivered in a timely fashion: apart from once a year big events, most things can wait for a few days, no need to require you to read the news every day

- Include some analysis to allow you to see the big picture

When I started a few years ago, I thought naively that a little machine learning should do the trick. But the problem is actually quite complex. In any case, the sector is ripe for disruption.
IF you can identify your specific bacterium and the phage that kills it before the disease kills you.

Antibiotics will continue to be effective precisely because they are broad spectrum. A doctor can hit you with an antibiotic before they know exactly what you have.

I am always happy to see new tools in medicine. However, I suspect phages are most going to be used initially in persistent, chronic, antibiotic resistant infections where everything else has failed.
"This means you can use it to create inbound network tunnels to computers that don't have a public IP, are behind firewalls or get assigned new IPs frequently."

Sure enough, look what appears on HN front page a few hours later...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22167627

People's home public IP addresses are not universally reachable/accessible^1 from the internet. It varies.

What does "reachable/accessible" mean. It means that transferring a file would be as easy as person A typing something like

nc -lnp [port] [person A home IP adddress] < file

and person B typing

nc -w1 -vvn [person A home IP address] [port] > file

where port is not one that is blocked, e.g., 80, 25, etc. and is known by both persons.

Regardless of what anyone says in an HN comment, in the real world, people at home are sometimes behind firewalls, or other software that performs NAT, that are running on computers that do not belong to them and are not under their control.

That's why WG has persistent keepalives. No one answered that question.

I think it used to be easier to break things, in any case. When I was a child, I used to delete things to make space for games. I quickly discovered the 'Windows' folder was taking a lot of space. I don't honestly remember if that was the move that really bricked the computer, but the computer was certainly bricked by the time I was done with it.
Nushell 0.9.0 - a new shell written in Rust
Anyone who has been following his projects knows that 2.5 years is too little a time for the problems he set out to solve and the projects he was leading (esp. with TensorFlow, MLIR, TF runtime, TPUs). So this is really a very early, abrupt and surprising exit, and several people both inside/outside know that he ran into political issues/struggles with high-level folks. Fortunately, one of the projects (MLIR) is already part of LLVM and will remain unaffected, but looks like S4TF may just die out irrespective of what's being said. Otherwise, we may not hear much on the details given his "seemingly" reasonable length stint at Google.
> [the] statement is not factually correct

"not factually correct" is a sickening euphemism for "a lie".
I call it "verified diagnosis". We use game theory to extract the truth. Think prisoner's dilemma for dentists.

Edit: Not in US, but building planning to launch there. You can't practice dentistry in US if you haven't got US diploma. However, diagnostic dental work (at least in some states) is exception to this.
Still on the tech side of things HN is doing quite well, with clever mechanics to downrank incendiary stuff, killing troll comments asap, etc. Combined with excellent, consistent moderation (courtesy dang et al).

With growing awareness + press coverage, those platforms who deliberately implemented bad algorithms to harvest maximum attention (FB, YT, TW) increasingly find it damages their brand image. There is an incentive to (at least marginally) improve their features / biz models.

Then there is digital literacy. We used to have netiquete and that can be taught. If you read the (very entertaining) article The Internet of Beefs [0] you'll see there is a solution by not getting involved in a beef, or extracting yourself if you got baited. Similarly it helps to know how to avoid trolls [1].

It will not be easy to change cultures large-scale. Many people just like to beef (there is a similarity with road rage too; people forget themselves online). Others enjoy starting beef wars for the lolz, or - more sinister - with strategic objectives.

At least we should be able to create more safe harbours, where people thrive from uplifting experiences online. Changing culture bit by bit.

I think a good way to define a bus running faster is to perhaps measure the average change in eta between any two stops across all stops per day, in other words the mean pairwise difference between original and changed routes. then maybe stratifying that for peak, off peak, evening, night, morning, however granular you'd want to go.

you can then think about optimizing routing for commuters, or late night service around a random event with increased traffic, etc.
Try was rejected and modules are awesome in my opinion. Easily the best dependency management I’ve worked with, across Ruby (Gems), Python (PIP), Java (Gradle/Maven) etc.

Up to this point, the ratio of useful enhancements to unnecessary cruft has heavily skewed towards usefulness.

The post links to a new questionnaire the core wants all change proposers to answer - the questions are pretty good and force a bit of intense soul searching for everyone asking for a change. That will probably stifle ideas a bit, but resisting change by default is what we want out of this language anyway.
Given that the two markets he listed are the markets I know Zipline is in, I’m willing to bet yes.

Stripe whenever it's possible. However, without PayPal one is missing a bug chunk of people who cannot pay with credit card. Hence, I offer both. Since I implemented both (again) over the last month, here a list of my resources:

- Stripe Elements [0] + Stripe Webhook [1]

- Stripe Checkout [2] + Stripe Webhook [1]

- PayPal Smart Payment Buttons [3]

And one repository:

- basic Stripe Checkout with Webhook in React + Express [4]

Personally I preferred Stripe Checkout over Elements, because they take care about the look and feel.

I feel like people on here overestimate the tech literacy their peers learned when they were kids. While the computer-interested group around me did some experimentation, a little bit of programming and the like, most people I knew didn't do any of that.

Most things just worked: Put the floppy inside, click on the correct icon [1], maybe type in one thing or click on the file with the correct ending/name that sounded like the game, and your game was running. I did not know what I was doing, just remembering what I was shown.

Later as a teenager, I was asked to help out by other teens much more than my mother asked me to help.

Something I haven't seen in the comments yet: do we think that Apple now referring to iPadOS by a separate name means future releases will slowly-but-surely (in typical iterative Apple fashion) morph the iPad experience to address not only Gruber's complaints but some of our own?

I'm actually surprised by a lot of HN's failure of imagination — "I can't imagine why you would want an iPad when you could use an xyz", often translating into "I don't believe an iPad could ever become abc".

And yet, against all odds and despite its relative decline in sales, the iPad marches forward, stands strong despite its flaws, and defies the naysayers of 2010 and 2020.

To give my own answer to my question: I prefer optimism over pessimism, myself.
can anyone with any insight into indian governance comment on why this wouldn't somehow be a massive legal liability?

Your list of points is great, if you can figure out a way to deliver a service like that it would be incredible.

I think one of the biggest challenges for current publications is the tie to advertising model - advertising business model forces products to decrease in quality over time. Same thing happening to Google and Facebook, but super apparent in news sites. They're fucking awful these days, I can't read a single article without ten huge popups and a paywall.

Pure nonsense imho. Everytime there is an epidemic are new 1000 bed hospitals going to be erected overnight?

Where the heck are doctors and nurses going to come from? Do they have excess trained people just hanging out at the mall?

God knows how many other hospitals and construction projects were thrown into chaos by crews being pulled from all over the place.

This is the kind of reaction seen when too much power lies with one guy up the heirarchy and he panics and overrules all his underlings. Wants to give an appearance of solving a problem much more than actually solving it.

I have seen this kind of stuff happening at global software crisis centers, where things escalate quickly and some guy up the hierarchy panics. Has too much power and just overrules everyone below. "We have to do something! Right now!!!" Bangs table!!! Underlings without push back obey. Those who do are pushed out and resources are mindlessly pulled from all over and massively squandered. With the PR dept blaring away about decisive leadership.

China has all the ingredients for that kind of decision making. The bug will die out in a couple weeks and then this will be a standing monument to how the herd reacts under stress.

I'm sure other have the same question [0]:

"But how does the self-limiting gene work?

First, let’s step back and consider that each mosquito is made up of many cells. In order for each cell to survive, it needs to make essential proteins. The proteins are made when genes (made of DNA) are converted into RNA and subsequently the RNA is converted into protein.

DNA → RNA → Protein … Happy cell

However, when the self-limiting gene (DNA) is made into a protein, the self-limiting protein is able to block the process of converting DNA into RNA.

DNA -X RNA -X Protein … dead cells, dead mosquito

Without RNA, proteins aren’t made, the cells die, and the mosquito dies too."

I wonder: is this the usual case, that users behavior or other data is used as input for ML projects without their consent? Would they always have to opt out rather than preparing the data in a way that prevents from disregarding users' privacy? Or, assuming that testing for a relevant outcome invariably transgresses on users' privacy, I wonder if this kind of ML work isn't a bit unethical as a whole?
Seemed to have helped the last time they did exactly this. So I don't see it as an overreaction or completely irrational. Reports say that the makeshift hospital they built in record time for SARS in Beijing turned out to treat 1/7th of all the SARS patients at the time. And judging by the projected infection rate numbers, and their medical infrastructure already being stressed so much by a load that it probably wasn't designed to handle, building these hospitals could very well be a good move.

> Where the heck are doctors and nurses going to come from? Do they have excess trained people just hanging out at the mall?

I'm sure there are regions that aren't facing even remotely the same crisis as Wuhan, where they can divert resources from. It's really not a huge deal. Unless you want to make the claim that all of China is going to succumb to this such that a diversion of resources wouldn't be possible at all? That's a stretch.
