I'm saying people are willing to pay the price and the state makes a compromise: discourage its use without making it impossible

Prices can only go up to a point, if they go up too much, you'll get street riots, like in France.

People would perceive them as another social injustice that favours reach people that can pay for the access or parking, while probably not needing it.

Bikes are cool, but are for bikers, and it's better like that

I've seen so many people almost kill themselves just because they thought they were good enough at it, but biking is not really an easy thing to do

Of course without cars there are less incidents between bikes and cars

In Netherlands cycling fatalities make up 30% of all the road deaths, which is a lot

In most cities we should promote public transport, which is not optimal for the single individual, but it's easier to deploy and really makes a difference for the community

Dang, you may ban me if you wish. Sorry but my sense of what should be said appears to be fundamentally different from what is in the guidelines, or sensibilities of most people.
Philosophically there's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but it's not particularly applicable.

None of the 'standard of care' therapies for, in our case, ovarian cancer are guaranteed to be effective...they simply have hazard ratios that are more favorable than the rest. So, quite literally, doctors are already guessing as to what to do next once you are in a recurrent cancer setting (even before, really).

On top of that there is a mountain of clinical evidence that high dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) has an incredibly low risk of adverse events in healthy patients and there have been clinical trials and case studies indicating that it improves quality of life in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Evidence that IVC actually has a therapeutic benefit in killing cancer is starting to emerge, but definitely needs work to meet the standard of testing that is generally mandated for something to become standard of care.

So now we're in this weird local minima of scientific interest in a potential therapy. Nobody that I've seen is seriously suggesting that IVC is an effective monotherapy against any kind of cancer. But there is growing evidence that it is a safe and effective adjunct therapy to increase quality of life and potential outcomes for many patients. Unfortunately, clinical trials are expensive and most oncology teams are not interested in results that haven't specifically tested the cancer that they specialize in. So you are left with waiting for someone to explore the enormous graph of specific cancer treatment settings and apply this trial. In other words, it's not coming to a theater near you any time soon.

Meanwhile people are dying because the current treatments are not working, and finding a doctor with the guts to explore these options with a willing and educated patient is, in my personal experience, next to impossible.
Has there been a followup update from Cloudflare?
Beginner’s Mind
JavaScript is one word.
You are severely underestimating how much of being a doctor is having to defend the route of standard care against what is actual nonsense. For every path outside standard care which might actually amount to something useful, there are a hundred totally useless, potentially harmful alternative paths. I'm sure in the modern era, when they are just trying what they know is the best researched, best chance they know for a successful path for you or your loved ones, they are beyond sick of hearing your alternative theses assembled from mommy blogs and witch doctors.

In other words, I suspect the emotions you're detecting are probably exhaustion and annoyance, and any genuine fear is most likely going to be that they fear for your outcome should you deviate from what they believe to be the best course of action.
You have to know your mythology well to understand that.

Tyr was the Norse god of war, so equivalent to Mars.

Wotan was an old name for Odin, who started as the messenger of the gods, like Mercury. (The connection was clearer when Tacitus was comparing German and Roman mythologies than in current Norse myths.)

Thor was the god of thunder, like Jupiter.

Frey and Freya were god and goddess of fertility, so parallel Venus.
https://money.cnn.com/2015/09/30/news/better-business-bureau...
I don't think the issue here is about guessing. It's about how reluctant many doctors can be about exploring scientific paths which are newer and as yet less traveled.

To be sure, it would take a non-trivial time investment on their part. However, many doctors (though not all) seem entirely blind to anything they are not familiar with already, even if there would be reasonable scientific basis. There can be a level of pride there.
According to what I read in the article, you have to provide the sRGB fallback yourself. I suppose this is only a true annoyance if you're writing CSS by hand (like I do), but I hear most people these days use Less or some other CSS preprocessor that can easily handle this.
It’s always sobering to remember that we live in bubbles.
So your saying that any attempt to reform the election system in America is futile?

Edit: I’m not sure which reforms you are referring to, but I bet that corruption existed in American politics before that, even before election financing was a thing. Corruption is a serious problem in democracies that have serious and strict regulations on campaign financing. A prime example here is Israel.

I love disposable email services! How do you see your service go forward compared with the others?

I'm working on an email automation service. We'd be interested in offering aliases programmatically:
- Generate aliases by API (as many as we want)
- Ideally, aliases would be on domains we own
- Possibly use subdomains
- Auto forward all the emails that arrive to the generated address, to an email address
- Get a webhook that fires off every time an email arrives
- Webhook gives us the whole payload (subject, body, sender, attachments etc)

Would this be possible with your API?
We're looking at Anonaddy and ForwardEmail, but always happy to consider more :)
> 10 years ago, AI didn't show a clear path toward meaningful products either

That's not entirely correct. It's just that, as techniques become mainstream, they tend to fall out of what's considered to be "AI". As an example, speech recognition used to be firmly in the AI camp. Now that it is commonplace, it is only ever mentioned in the AI context if it is paired with ML. Regardless, there are lots of useful products using that technology. Same goes for many others.
Big agree
If raw complexity was the fundamental issue, trimming it down to a quarter of the previous size wouldn't have been possible.

Some of the problems outlined, like having 40 different views of contacts, with unique code, seem like fairly clear organizational problems.
That's funny! I had heard of this before, but I misremembered it as a TV company printing a bicycle on the box to deter theft. I sort of wonder if that would work now, come to think of it.

Cloudflare followed up with me the day of and resolved the issue at least for me. I'm unsure if it would be appropriate for me to post the email they sent.
Yggdrasil and GNUnet seem like more interesting alternatives to me (with cjdns and hyperboria as cousins). Although these do not build on wireguard, they employ the same basic stack (plus some to handle a mesh topology).
That's a fair response. I've thought about working on a Clojure implementation on a Common Lisp runtime, precisely because I'd like to see a Clojure that is a real, proper Lisp.

Cloture is an interesting effort:

https://github.com/ruricolist/cloture

I hope ruricolist succeeds.

But so far I haven't actually done any work in that direction. When I work on interpreters and compilers, I generally work on trying to improve upon Common Lisp, rather than trying to help Clojure catch up to it.

Years ago, in the early 1990s, I worked on an experimental OS at Apple. It was written mostly in a Lisp called Ralph (which later evolved into Dylan). Ralph was basically Scheme's kernel operations on top of data types built on CLOS with some functional-programming idioms.

Ralph had all of the nice things I was pining for in that post that I previously linked, but it was also a smaller, simpler, and more consistent language than Common Lisp, and it was easier to learn and easier to extend.

I've been working for years now on a language that started as a Ralph embedded in Common Lisp, but which has mutated quite a bit over the years as I learned new things and experimented with adding them to my implementations. It's been complete enough for me to ship a few products with it, but it's not done, and lately I've been inclined to steer it more back toward Ralph.

Mostly. There are still a few newer features I might like to keep.

So, while I acknowledge that it's totally fair of you to exhort me to work on Clojure, and it's not necessarily a bad idea, there is another Lisp for me to work on that is dearer to me.
I remember someone quipping on HN about how the Coronavirus outbreak would effectively result in a global WFH experiment. I wonder what lessons, if any, will be learned and if this will have a lasting impact on how much software engineers (and people in similar positions) are expected to physically come to work 5 days a week.
I remember a bunch of science books for kids in the 90s, that more or less all uniformly declared that planets were only "native" to our solar system.

Like, they couldn't even allow the possibility "We don't know" and instead decided to push lies to our feeble minds.

And then, when they were being discovered around the turn of the millenium, everyone treated extra-solar planets like something amazing. No, they're totally expected! Not finding any at all, that would've been surprising.

Hi! :)

I'm a QA currently working in the blockchain industry. I have worked on major blockchain-related projects.

I am highly technical and specialized in creating ad hoc test automation frameworks.

Do not hesitate to send me a quick email for more details (I will send you back my resume and LinkedIn)!
And to keep people in the game to operationally care.
Meh, this sounds like it's paid for by okta. It also doesn't cover the real use case scenario of vpns - non-technical folks need to access internal services. What's presented is a reasonable approach for ssh control.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure Cloud Passage has a port-knocking based solution in the real world which also gives 2fa access for ssh.
From my experience the modern framework-based project are spaghetti messes with thousands of unaudited (and unauditable, due to their quantity) dependencies. To me it doesn't look much better than the old-style "spaghetti mess". At least the old-style one is usually self-contained and will keep working, where as the new one will randomly break once someone pulls a package or a repo is temporarily unavailable.

Maybe there's just something I don't get and clearly frontend developers somehow manage to make all of this work, but to an old-school backend guy like me the modern JS ecosystem seems horrifying, needlessly complicated, over-engineered and brittle.
My favorite part is this comment: https://twitter.com/holman/status/1234620062398464002 https://www.reddit.com/r/RobinHood/comments/48mep4/robinhood...

Verner Vinge used that system in A Deepness in the Sky. You get used to it after awhile.
In my company a staff member in a different office has tested positive. The ceo seems to be very careful to follow government advice. It's like they don't want to be seen to under-react or over-react. This seems misguided when there are positive things you can do like encouraging people to work from home. If the cost is minimal then why not? It's like telling people to wash their hands or use a tissue.
Shelf Engine | Seattle, WA, USA | Full Time | ONSITE | Engineering / Data Science | http://shelfengine.com/jobs

Shelf Engine stops food waste with demand forecasting. Food waste at grocery stores averages 35%! Join us in helping to reduce the economic and ecological impact of this waste. We're hiring software engineers, data scientists, and a data engineer in our Seattle office. We're looking for people who are passionate about having a positive environmental impact on the world through their job, and are excited to join a small but rapidly growing startup - we're currently 25 people.

- Forecasting and modeling is in Python

- Front end is Angular and Ionic / TypeScript

- Backend is ASP.NET Core / C# / Azure

- Orchestration with Kubernetes.

We do a lot of data interop in the backend with our customers, and other data systems like accounting and analytics, and reporting/BI systems. Experience with any of these languages/frameworks and domains is a big plus!
The features look really promising. So what's the catch here ?
> Compared to resources consumed making the container from scratch or attempting to crush/reprocess it?

Empty containers can be loaded onto container ships, where they can be recycled elsewhere, and new containers delivered the same way. While that may still not be environmentally optimal on a world scale, at least it would consume no extra water in regions that are arid or facing groundwater depletion.

> FWIW India already has a robust bottle return and reuse system.

The soft-drink industry in India has already been castigated for depletion of groundwater, so again, washing and sterilizing all these bottles only compounds the damage.
Absolutely. Receiver popping a panel to show the other set of tip'n'tells can get some great expressions.

But if the shippers are serious, and use to moving 6-7 figure equipment around, they'll expect it.
So both old and new are available through the new domain?

I got the sense that the author's main goal was running Aperture, and iTunes (and iPhoto/iWork/Logic) just kind of came along for the ride.

Just looking at known issues in the Github readme, it looks like those apps have quite a few issues. Whereas Aperture sounds like it's just about perfect except for videos.

> As a Spotify user, my Mac opens iTunes when I press the Play button on my keyboard if Spotify has been not playing for X minutes (power nap?). I have to immediately kill iTunes before it begins playing a CD I bought 7 years ago.

For the past decade, one of the first things I do on a new Mac is run a script that includes the line `sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app`. There's probably a better way to stop iTunes from opening, but this one has been very effective.
When and how did philosophy undergo professionalization?

"Professionalization tends to result in establishing acceptable qualifications, one or more professional associations to recommend best practice and to oversee the conduct of members of the profession, and some degree of demarcation of the qualified from unqualified amateurs (that is, professional certification). It is also likely to create "occupational closure", closing the profession to entry from outsiders, amateurs and the unqualified."
Also interesting (and slightly OT) that almost every living thing either has origins in water or gestates in a fluid. Am I wrong? Are there any animals that are born/created "dry"? I can't think of any but it doesn't mean there aren't any. If that's your observation of life, stands to reason you'd come up with a similar "creation story" for the world.
Why is it a simulation? Isn't it reality?
I love Pritunl. Have been using it for 5 years. It's super easy to setup, maybe takes an hour the first time and like 15 minutes once you have done it.
Can you manage Audiobooks with the Music app?

Keep in mind that iTunes and Audible audiobooks are DRM'd, so you can't necessarily just mark it as a different type of file. (The DRM is crackable, but then that's an extra step.)
I have stocked up on gasoline, toilet paper, bottled water, coffee, flour, cooking oil, sugar and salt.

I am well aware that many might consider what I have done as hoarding. They may be right but my intent was not to buy it all up before it's all gone but rather to be a responsible citizen that is prepared for an extended stay in home quarantine.

Far better IMHO to reduce my need to frivosly visit shopping centers for basic staples where I may become a vector in the spreading of this virus.

I also believe that keeping a healthy stock of provisions is a good policy regardless of wether there is an emergency or not.
But that was before "pizza" as such was even invented, so I don't think that's really what this article was about.

My first thought when I read this was, "Why would you sell a /24, it's so valuable!". This was after reading that the whole thing is worth maybe $6,000. Which in the grand scheme of internet things, isn't that much.

But I guess they just aren't as valuable as I thought. Or the price is coming down now that ipv6 is viable.

I wonder what the peak per ip price was.
I'm truly shocked how many resources are dedicated to maintaining a chat app that essentially just talks to an api. Seems like you could easily build and maintain a simple chat system with <5 developers. You wouldn't have shiny new features, but it would by coincidence be faster and simpler. Networked chat is a standard project in university.

If it gets anywhere yes, I've been a bit busy with life and it's been in a pause.
