If it is noise/invalid/a mistake, it means nothing; the actual effect might actually be a DECREASE of CVD as far as we know.

And it is important to also look at all cause mortality; such studies have often shown a decrease in CVD but the same final number of deaths...

> I understand that there are different legislative bodies of Europe, but not sure how each applies.

As a very crude analogy with the US, you could view EU parliament as federal government and country parliaments (and governments) as state governments.

Laws at the EU level are applicable to all countries, but individual countries have a lot of leeway in in implementation, enforcement and their own laws (as long as the don't contradict EU laws).

I'm an enterprise GCP customer, Google Support have a few superbly irritating habits:
1. They link to generic documentation that doesn't solve my problem
2. They insist that things that are clearly bugs aren't bugs until they're provided with some trivial reproduction case that satisfies them
3. They refuse to advise on issues with beta products despite half of GCP's products being in a beta
4. They are sometimes just flat-out wrong (but confidently so) about the cause of an issue

I think my beef with behringer comes down to the copying of the look and feel. They made a clone of the moog mother 32 (the behringer neutron), but because it doesn’t copy the look of the original, it doesn’t bother me the way their minimoog clone does.

Edit: yes as people have pointed out I was thinking of the behringer crave not the neutron, whoops!
Show HN: ListenLater.fm – A read-it-later service for your ears
ListenLater.fm works like this:

1. Send articles, stories, and essays to ListenLater.fm.

2. We'll turn them into a spoken audio podcast just for you.

3. Listen in your podcast player whenever you want.

You can send articles via browser extensions, email, and bookmarklet.

I've been using this for a few months, and I love it. Over the past few years, I've found myself with less time to read, and I've found myself quickly skimming more HackerNews headlines thinking "I should read that," but never actually reading them.

I've tried every read-it-later service out there, but they always end up being another dumping ground for articles I'll never get to. With ListenLater.fm, I'm able to put articles I don't have time to read directly into my podcast app. I already make time for podcasts, and I look forward to finding new things to listen to in Overcast (my podcast player of choice.)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
The good news is that you are more selfish than narcissistic. A selfish but honest person would say "I do not't care about other people getting hurt until it affected me." A narcissist says "It is all their fault that I got hurt and they deserve their suffering!". Call mere selfish narcissistic and "true" narcissism capital N narcissism if you like rather than fight a losing battle as a pedant vs a colloquial tide but keep in mind the personality disorder is a different animal in spite of resemblances.

As others advised empathy is likely a better area of focus. The approach there varies from person to person and for a variety of reasons even unpacking the types of "empathy" cobflated together. Higher functioning sociopaths are good at reading people's emotions but don't necessarily care about them. A well socialized one does the right thing for "wrong" reasons. Someone autistic may not be in sync with sending or receiving emotions and signs but they will be upset to learn they inadvertently hurt someone. Anyway that tangent aside from someone on the spectrum here are some techniques.

I tend to try to "universalize" my perspective as a view from outside. It has its own frustrations (knowing that even if you are right there is no way to outright prove that will trust) admittedly and I am not an expert in human interaction. My coping methods are more "sociological" than personal interaction level. Pitfalls include probably not being very good for your confidence - I say probably because of being uncertain what is preexisting and sample size of 1.

There are various forms of subconscious emotional healing work that can vastly improve the way you interact with others, as well as your own emotional balance and self-regard.

I've been undertaking this kind of work for about 7-8 years and counting.

Some examples are Holotropic Breathwork, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and kinesiology-based practices like Psych-K.

There are many, and it's worth trying different ones until you find one that you connect with.

That is exactly why there is so much outrage. People have been predicting that history ryhmes for a long time, but now it is actually starting to happen. The CDU's decision to rather cooperate with the AFD than supporting a socialist coalition is a paradigm shift. Yesterday's decision has shown that the nazis are back as a bona fide political power.
I very much agree with this. Having an extended amount of time where I was 100% responsible for my daughter made me feel very different compared to the time spent jointly looking after her. I hope it's made me a better parent.
Congratulations on realizing this! It really is a big deal to see it. Most people don't even do this, they just live it out without even realizing. You might check out the book which is considered the introductory text to the "4th Way" work,"In Search of the Miraculous" by PD Ouspensky.
Why are any of these possibilities relevant or desirable? You're complicating something that is simple: spend time with people you want to spend time with, don't spend time with people you don't want to spend time with, and tell the truth about it.

The "possibility" this opens up is not taking responsibility for your own choices, and keeping really inane secrets from people who are supposedly your friends.

Seeing a therapist might be infinitely better than reading a book, and not just for narcissism. We're all broken in our own wonderful and unique ways.

I've been seeing a therapist for 5 years now, and the positive impact this has had in my life and on my general self-awareness can't be overstated.

As engineers and tech people we have one tool that has proven incredible useful in our careers: our brilliant rational minds. So we tend to think that we can solve any problem in life with this tool. Turns out we can't; thinking that therapy is somehow beneath us is pure hubris.

I also resisted therapy for a long time as a matter of principle. In high school I learned about the id, ego and super-ego, and in my 17 year old wisdom I thought "This is all bullshit! Did the guy open someone's head and see three parts? No! This is all made up!" Being unquestionable older and hopefully wiser now, I've understood that "all models are wrong, but some are useful"[0]. And therapy happens to have some useful models to offer.

> reduces heat dissipation at other wavelengths

Most of the time we use the "blackbody" approximation; and we're familiar with the idea that black objects radiate and absorb heat well, while white or shiny ones do not. This lets us make something that absorbs like a black object and emits like a white one. In effect its own surface is like a tiny greenhouse effect.
Currently using VS Code for this, but looks interesting. No information on privacy of how, where my data is handled which makes me hesitate.
IMO it's really obvious when someone's applying the strategies in that book without addressing their underlying behavior. One of my bosses had the dark triad traits, and it was painfully obvious that he was following the book's advice to the letter. Referring to people by name often and the like doesn't mask narcissistic behavior, it just makes a narcissist appear dishonest.
Yeah - I get this but when things are free, I no longer assume they'll stick around and I no longer hold it against the business closing the free service down. I think in the mid 2000s a lot of people saw free as a quick way to do land grabs or experiments and google especially. As a result there is this mis-conception of trust. To me it was growing up with the internet and learning that a business needs $$ to operate so anyone selling something for free that didn't have a clear monetization strategy was to be avoided. Sure study it and learn but never trust it for your own well being... my two cents
I had the same thought. As an undergraduate, I went to some of the interesting-sounding seminars given by grad students. It was a great way to get to learn something interesting and also get to know your professors.

I have to admit, however, that I was usually the only undergrad in attendance.

Nitpick: IBM beat VMware by some decades at "first useful virtualization software".

The VMware thing was that they figured out how to make virtualization on i386 compatible hardware hobble along despite the hardware architecture being technically unvirtualizable, using clever binary translation style tricks. Virtualization support came to x86 hardware many years later.

This is a great recommendation, but if a person with narcissism were to pick up this book, they could easily turn into one of those slightly creepy & very transparent "overly nice guys". It's a great start, but if overdone, you can push people away even more.
Yes it is. It's petty to cheat to elevate oneself above ones position, or knock someone else down below theirs. Even if it's about money. Especially when it's about money.
I've used ancestry off and on over the past decade. I don't think any family tree could ever be considered 100% complete. It's a bit addicting to see how far back you can go. And the fact that the number of ancestors increases exponentially as you go back each generation means that there's a lot to research.

I tend to subscribe for a few months and then try it again year or two later to see if there's any new gaps I can fill in. There's often new information added periodically, either from a new set of data they've digitized, or user-added content from a distant relative that happened to have some unique information about a common ancestor.

Various potential applications in biomedical, environmental, and energy fields.[1]

Could improve the efficiency of solar thermal power stations:

"Control over the absorption spectral range of surfaces is of major importance for a wide range of applications, such as selective solar absorbers, thermal emitters, structural colouring water condensation and daytime and night-time radiative cooling. In particular, for a solar-thermal energy absorber operating at high temperature, the absorber should be an SSA since the main cooling mechanism is thermal radiation... an ideal solar light absorber has nearly 100% absorbance within the solar spectrum and negligible thermal emittance within the blackbody radiation spectral range at mid-to-high temperatures (100–500 °C), i.e., an SSA. SSAs can thus maximise the temperature of solar absorbers and increase the efficiency of a heat engine driven by solar radiation."

Ask HN: Which tools do your organisations use to do data governance
This is a two-part question, the first part is probably relevant to more individuals than the second part.

1 - How do your organizations do data governance (ensuring that the right employee has access to the data they need and nothing more) on structured data backends (sql, mongo etc) or data warehouses (bigquery, redshift etc). Is it basic ACL on a per-backend basis, is it more intricate?

2 - For companies which leverage sensitive client information to build better products, how do you anonymize the data appropriately ensuring you remain compliant.

I am equally interested in individual tools/solutions your organizations may use, as well as processes/frameworks or even using 3rd parties/consultants.
> I don't use the top and far left parts much to avoid having to turn my head all the time.

I find this to be a big issue even on smaller screens. 16x9 is great if your using your computer consumption but I find it non-desirable for production. I think I would prefer to go back to a 4x3 screen for production because I generally like my apps to fill the whole screen and I do a lot of my work in the terminal.
The Article also talks about hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterns using the same setup. I would be interested in seeing the properties of a channel or via through the tungsten etched with these patterns. It might change the thermal absorption rate of water passing through the hole or some other neat behavior like a change to the capillary effect. This could improve concentrated solar applications even further.

Anecdata: I got the flu a couple years ago. I didn't go to the doctor to get it "officially" confirmed, but I've had the flu many times prior in my life. It was the flu. I was laying in my bed literally crying, sleeping, sweating, or some combination of the 3 all day. My wife knew about this property of elderberry and had already made some extract with the highest grain alcohol she could get in the store and fresh elderberries from our bushes.

She fed me several spoonfuls through the day. The next day I was working in the yard. It was by far the shortest episode of the flu I have ever had.
`curl X | bash` provides _more_ transparency than most other usual methods of software distribution, as I can always inspect X, which is usually a simple, self-contained script.

In contrast, running code from an unaudited source (GitHub, NPM, etc.), or executing a binary from some random website, all less transparent yet just as dangerous, but for some reason raise way fewer eyebrows.
Don't take yourself too seriously.
It's not the egos and ambitions, it's the oversight and accountability. You even said it yourself, there was no accountability for waste.

When the top 1/3 of the org chart is gonna get fired by the next administration regardless there's no reason (for the current administration) to hold them accountable for not doing good work (not to mention that most people aren't going to be harsh to their own political appointees) and that sort of culture rolls down hill really well.
I agree with the initial assertion as to how companies work when they start to grow to medium or larger. The rest, though, feels an awful lot like projection on the parent's part; someone's an insecure admin or programmer reveling in their superiority at a moderately sized company -- not meant to be an ad hominim but you're really specific there, buddy.

The enterprise is about supportability, scalability, and ease of maintenance. Officially support software and common tools/platforms/SOPs are a must unless we're building something brand new from scratch. DIY charoot jails may work just fine... until the two admins who really know it go on vacation or quit or get fired for mining BTC on company gear. Now Johnny-New-Hire needs to unravel it, and it may not be documented well, or even work that well without an admin kicking it occasionally.

Were I to put a job advert out for DevOps roles needing Docker I could usually get someone with a base level of competency, and get them reasonably quickly. Likewise if I need to outsource this to contractors or even offshore budget IT support it's a lot easier to find a Docker guy then it is running someone through whiteboard exercises to figure out how much they know about jails and makefiles. And if we're way out of our league with issues there is Enterprise Docker which is expensive but gets us official support from Marentis (or whoever owns them now), which may not be justified in terms of cost, but absolutely makes management sleep easier knowing we can escalate things if we can't fix it internally.

I was just on a job which was initially scheduled to include painting. The SDS for the primer was 17 pages long. We had to fit and train on respirators. We had to develop methods to keep the paint from spilling while transported around our work environment, and how to store and dispose of it at the end of the day.

Eventually, the painting went to another crew (whew). I saw painters on site wearing full bunny suits.

I don’t know if licensing helps here (I have no government license to paint in my state) but I would not want any random person to think any paint is as easy to use as any other. Just because it doesn’t cause immediate damage doesn’t mean it can’t cause serious damage.
My understanding is that Azure is attempting to compete with AWS in gaining business from US governmental agencies. This means emphasis on Gov Cloud, FedRAMP, and other constraints which would probably preclude foreign nations from working on those projects.
All the best of luck with Shoutium! I still love the concept of a local messaging app and it was great fun in active areas. But like you said getting the critical mass required is always tough.
The biggest and most important step is realising you have a problem and wanting to change. I was a bit like what you describe during high school and late teens, but I saw it not only affects my personal relationships - it doesn't align with my moral code. It's very hard to recognise narcissism in yourself, but you have done it. I'm pretty sure from here the way to overcome it is straightforward. And don't beat yourself up too much, everyone has a bit of narcissism in them, you just have a bit too much. You will work through this - I'm sure.
Overhyped, no change at all.
You seem like a fairly well adjusted fellow, if you've caught yourself being a jerk and want to make positive changes. Maybe you're more of a minor league egotist rather than an actual DSM narcissist. If you like keeping fit, it's difficult to be that kind of a jerk if someone's beating the shit out of you on a regular basis in a dojo. Sports in general are good for people living a life of the mind (aka HN nerds); it chips away at common character defects that come from being a disembodied brain waddling around. You'll expose yourself to people from all walks of life who will give you immediate feedback if you display bad character, and it will get you moving around and make you humble.

If you enjoy history and literature, maybe Plutarch's parallel lives of Alcibiades and Coriolanus; or Christopher Lasch's "Culture of Narcissism" could provide some perspective. And as someone said below, Dale Carnegie's book on winning friends and influencing people, 100 years later, is a really useful, life changing book.
That's not what I meant, actually - I've worked with amazing people from HR (and less amazing ones, too, ofc) - what I meant is owning the problem and trying to inspire change instead of 'reporting' someone the first time something like this happens.
And, actually, in this case the company's reputation is at stake, too - word gets around quickly about sh.tty interview experiences.
I’d be willing to bet this is a job on their new “Jedi” contract with US Gov.

Why can't someone slap the XNU api onto Linux

Probably because importing Mach messaging and VM APIs into the Linux kernel, and recreating IOKit and similar from scratch is a pretty major undertaking; the APSL isn't GPL-compatible, so using the existing XNU code and trying to make it fit into the Linux kernel isn't something that could ever be upstreamed. Aside from the fact that Linux's device model doesn't exactly map to IOKit well.

Then there are invariably plenty of assumptions that userland makes: launchd is probably assumed to have PID 1; all sorts of stuff like that.

Plus of course, there's the question of whether this would be inline with the EULA of Apple's userland…

There's always GNUStep if you want to write Cocoa apps in Objective-C on Linux. Somehow I have a feeling the APIs aren't what's been holding back Linux on the desktop.
