Those who have nefarious intentions don't really care what the legality is.. Also those who are not nefarious encrypted aren't identified because they're encrypted.. Thats why this argument seems very.. Moronic at best.

A popular split on Intermittent Fasting is alternate day eating.

So on one day you eat nothing, and the other days you eat a normal amount of food. So it is Fasting. Also the 4-3 split is popular.

But I agree with you people who just skip breakfast and have lunch and dinner should probably just call it an "eating window".

A diet that has worked for 50 years is just, stop snacking after dinner and go to bed. But it's much cooler to say "I'm Intermittent Fasting" than "I just don't bring a bag of Oreos to bed anymore".
I must say from my observations the past few years - they are pretty quick to share with each other and change things based on things.. eg - the proliferation of video cameras everywhere - I now see much more petty crimes being done with hoodies / hoods up, hair, ear, and face covering is a thing today that was not so much a few years ago from the surveillance photos I've been seeing.

There was a time when you could say that seniors cant use tech or smart phones.. I've seen really old people using iPads better then me recently.

Streetwise wisdom changes faster today I think than it did in the 90s.

I think the biggest story was the Aron Hernandez(?) to show them that leaving a phone behind is the way to go.. and 'the wire' exposed the groups using burners only forever ago.

So there will always be dumb criminals, it does not mean as a whole they will refuse to learn.

'criminals' have been paying for extra-private versions of phones for years ( https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/01/fbi-u... )

and some connected folks are even making their own phones now https://www.insider.com/pablo-escobars-brother-roberto-escob...

change is certainly faster today then I ever remember.
Ask HN: Career Coaches from an Unemployed Perspective?
Need ideas on what I need to be coached on, as a developer who's been ~80% unemployed of the time in the last couple of years. I can divide my career into two parts- For the first 5 years I had jobs more consistently. The pay was more on the low side, but I was gainfully employed well enough to be able to live on my own. The second part of my career is the 5 years where it's been 80% job searching and being unemployed and 20% temporary work.

Worked as a dev for years. Been job searching for years. I'm burned out but I don't want to keep being a welfare leech.

As someone who is unemployed but isn't in any real risk of going homeless or hungry (I live in free, subsidized housing), it's hard to find a source of motivation. I want to know if I need a particular kind of of coaching or at least form of continuous positive reinforcement that often is missing from the lack of a job and lack of imminent crisis like losing your home. I had some mock interviews with two professionals so far but after applying what I've learned from them, I don't see any change in my job situation.

I also sometimes wonder how many more people are like me in this scenario. And if it's even logistically possible to link up all the long-term discouraged workers to appropriate jobs and tie up all the loose ends.
AI-made ad?
I’ve seen the headline that “masks won’t help you so don’t bother buying them” about a million times over the past month. But when you start to dig into the justification behind that, it’s loaded with assumptions - that I, the layperson, won’t have an N-95 mask, I won’t wear it properly, I’ll leave it somewhere after it’s contaminated and it will make someone else sick.

When you dig past this with the people telling you not to bother wearing a mask, another line of reasoning bubbles up - that we need to reserve them for healthcare workers.

It may be true that it’s most important to get N-95 masks into the hands of healthcare workers first, but lying to the public isn’t the right way to do it. It turns out that plenty of people are capable of understanding how to wear a mask properly, and a lot of them - myself included - May already have access to N-95 masks, like the handful I bought to wear while doing a home improvement project about six months ago.

I have to agree that more than anything else, this line of commentary that masks won’t work comes off as holier than though finger wagging. It’s at least partially a lie, and it strikes me as an ineffective way to deal with the problem of a shortage of masks for healthcare workers. I also doubt that the masks on the shelf at Home Depot were ever going to find their way into the hands of a healthcare worker if they hadn’t already.

Working on software from the late 80s to 90s also come with its challenges. You’ll have a discontinued third party database engine that is no longer maintained and writing files on smb shares wich more or less regularly breaks. It’s probably written by real plumbers and not software plumbers because they back at the time were more available. If you haven’t constantly adapted the code it for sure doesn’t compile with a modern compiler.

On the other hand, when people say you need to learn how to search DDG, they basically mean you need to add more context to your search because DDG is easily confused and categorically worse.

Having to "retrain" yourself to use DDG is the most romantic way to say "it's a worse tool so you need to give it more context."
In addition to what other people mentioned, there is also a huge cost in managing all the metadata that you'd get from billions of files. This really even worse if you're using a crazy 64-32 encoding.

I do not see it that way. In years past if one did something he thought government might find offensive he could hide the evidence. Which was perfectly fine -- one would not be jailed for refusing to provide self incrimination. "Go search, but I will hide it; I never had it by the way".

Misrepresenting the reality of violence is indefensible. Maybe it's OK to misrepresent love, sport or politics. But violence is serious. There is a qualitative difference between highly stylized gun fu (like John Wick), in which pain is hardly ever in the picture, and any portrayal of torture.
>in Seattle, we're already seeing some minor effects: No one can find any toilet paper.

The only report on this I could find was one costco. And the costco's around seattle are already basically mad chaos even during normal times. Every safeway, qfc, target, bartells, etc I've been to this week is well stocked on toilet paper. No hand sanitizer, but plenty of TP.

And if you are that desperate, Amazon Prime Now has plenty of toilet paper ready for 1-hour delivery right this second. At least in my zip code.
I am extremely worried about the global economy. The air travel and cruise industries are getting hit really bad. WP had an article today that for travel industry it is becoming the worst crisis since 2001, when the towers went down. There is a talk of tax breaks, and other nations have already enacted tax relief.

The prices of air travel in the US are laughable at the moment. I can fly roundtrip from Chicago to LA for $140.

This point gets brought up every time someone brings up the prevalence of torture & rape in media. I submit that it just derails discussion and never goes anywhere interesting. There is a difference between regular action movie style violence (shooting, explosions, etc.) and rape/torture. If you want to socrates that distinction go ahead, but it is common sense that these are different things.
This is imagining a society where no one lives with parents or grandparents, and young people never interact with elderly people not related to them.
High-quality durable practical goods wear their scars with pride.

It's the difference, though, between buying, say, fine china vs. a set of wooden or metal tableware. Or more typically in my experience, camping or outdoors gear, which gets rough use but remains highly functional.

It's odd, the safer our societies become, the more fearful people get. I used to live in a 2nd world country and it seems people were less fearful there, even if they had more to fear. It's like we collectively somehow miss having real things to worry about.

I guess the biggest issues in first world countries (heart disease, cancer, suicide, car accidents), are mostly things that boil down to individual internal battles related to our daily choices. And improving those is a humbling, long and not particularly glamorous process. It's grappling with the millions of shortcomings we all know we have and we all know how to fix.
This is an increasing problem with email too. If you don't open the email, you did not engage, so you can get removed from lists or, much worse, gmail will think something is spam. But gmail shows me most of the email in the UI next to the subject, so I don't need to open it. :sigh:

Here are my gripes.

- Pages load pretty slow over mobile networks. Every app page requires like 5 seconds to load, as it loads the page in 2 steps, first the page and then then the content. Not talking about navigating folders in Files but apps like Calendar and News are especially slow.

- Bookmarks app silently stopped working few weeks ago when I thought I kept adding Bookmarks through Android mobile app, so I lost 2 weeks worth of them. Not sure if the server or the client app went wrong but I switched to Pocket even though I run everything self hosted where I can.

- Contacts app previously had a problem where you couldn't save more than one information per page reload until recently when used through CloudFlare which was very confusing to see some saved data disappear.

- News app's UI is a bit of a joke in terms of speed and usability, so you need a mobile app to consume it than from the web.

- Frankly all of the apps need mobile apps because pages load slow and it's reluctant to go through them from the web but the mobile app quality varies so much as they're all dependant on third party developers.

- NextCloud talk, I had a high expectation of it but no matter how I tried, it never worked reliably and client apps were nowhere near the quality to recommend to non tech work people.

- Using an external storage for Files makes the performance and reliability quite low and when you think about using it for work, you need maximum reliability but I ended up using local storage as that seems the only way that's tested enough.

- You can't tell how much of a file is uploaded reliably at all. The "seconds remaining" display jumps all over every second as it's probably calculating from the speed of the moment instead of averages of the last minute or something and you can't cancel the individual files queue.

- I have basic auth on the NextCloud instance but the official NextCloud app refuses to work through it, even though the web version allows you to have yourself logged in via basic auth.

- Email app acted like an alpha version, so I instead use integrated RainLoop which is fine but I couldn't get people to login automatically using the NextCloud logged in user even though I have that option turned on, instead I had to edit some source code to make it happen.

- Logging out takes forever.

I am impressed that the look and feel is good and the caldav being so easy to use but I'd say it's close when it comes to overall quality to have work people use it than just for yourself.
The contrast (1.81) is also so low it isn't considered accessible at even the worst tier. And while the legal status of accessibility requirements is a complex topic, in terms of user experience, good accessibility normally means good experience (particularly color contrast, there are a lot of color blind people, or older people with diminished eyesight).

> The proclamation against settling the Ohio Valley may have set the speculators against Britain, but there were many, many other steps that Britain took to turn the colonists away from them.

Yes. All of them were tied to money. British needed good relations with native americans in order to maintain their lucrative fur trade. Americans wanted native american land.

Pretty much every major founder viewed themselves as proud englishmen. Nobody saw themselves as pennsylvanian, virginian, etc. They all referred to themselves as proud englishmen and willing subjects of the british crown. Until the british crown screwed them over money.

There has never been a war over ideals. Every war is about wealth. The more a war wraps itself around ideals, the more it was truly about wealth.

Yes, and it is often effective even with those issues.

Suppose you know facts A, B, C, and D. You want to know E. You ask about all 5 facts. You can verify 4 out of 5, but you don't reveal that. After getting the 5 answers, you trust fact E if the other facts are verified. If not, torture, but don't reveal how exactly you are sure about lying, and then try again.

It's also a large part electrolyte imbalance from some dehydration... drinking more water with salts can help a lot. It isn't magic, but can help with glucose control without medication, or without as much... eating enough protein, which keto people tend to get plenty, also has higher satiety, which can lead to eating less. Going to 1-2 meals a day will have mostly the same effects.

I think keto and carnivore are really better depending on one's specific metabolic and/or autoimmune issues. For most people, eating less processed crap (junk/fast food and trans fats particularly), less modern grains, less seed oils. Instead, having a well balanced diet which imho should include at least eggs, butter and fish is a great starting point.
Governments don't have to wait for such natural distractions; we already live in a world where nefarious law changes are snuck into bills with positive sounding policies when major holidays occurs... Look at net neutrality, Patriot Act, etc.
TFA's thesis is that people convey negative information -- just not primarily through the star rating.

As a longtime Airbnb user I can't imagine staying at a place just because it has a good star rating. You have to read the reviews and see what people liked and didn't like. If a place has a bad star rating I generally wouldn't consider staying there at all, but a 4.8 star rating with lots of substantive reviews and no real complaints is very different from a 4.8 star rating with a bunch of people noting that there's deafening construction noise from 8AM to 8PM.

Also, how would anyone retaliate on Airbnb? You can't see the host's review until after you've posted your own.

Agreed, but "black swan to most people but white swan to a few" is harder to say than "gray swan".

For that matter, Nassim Taleb himself predicted that the American mortgage industry was, I think he wrote something like "a barrel of dynamite" or some words to that affect. But, for most people, the mortgage crisis was a black swan.

The original metaphor, though, was that no matter how many swans you looked at in Europe, and how carefully, you would have zero data to tell you that black swans were possible, until you went to another country and discovered them.

Maybe they should change to a ranking-based system. You don't get asked to rate on your first ever Airbnb booking. On all subsequent stays, you get asked to compare your stay to some randomly selected previous place, better, worse or about the same. Then Airbnb can do some math and induce a score (like ELO).

You don't need extra commits to enable what I'm talking about, just some extra files. The historical commit hash you want to calculate from, and a file with globs to match against.

We've implamented this in Jenkins. You can push multiple commits at once, trigger several / multiple sub tasks / jobs, conditionally running tasks depending on what has changed in the monorepo.

There is no mapping of git commit to components, the mapping is from file globs (dependencies) to jobs (what should run if a file changes). Nor is there any need for the storing of hashes of subdirectories on some file.

Pushing two commits does not cause the loss of code
