I'm just taking some expired Hawthorn pills that I happened to have lying around the house. In my case I don't have high blood pressure to begin with, so I'm just taking about 1/3rd of the recommended dose and then periodically checking to ensure that my blood pressure isn't getting dangerously low.

People make their own hawthorn jam and jelly though, so it isn't excessively dangerous, but on principle it's probably better to take a conservative approach, or at least one that's commensurate with the initial risk.

Because I'm in NYC we actually have them growing everywhere because they are one of a handful of approved small-sized street trees, and they're in all the parks, but regardless it's easier just to buy as a supplement.
The Fail Whale is always my go-to when explaining why we should ignore scaling until we need to. If people need the solution and love the product, they'll be patient while tech problems are fixed. It's better to create a lovable product than a scalable product.
(GP here) I agree, and would like to have more restrictions on what data apps can have access to. The problem I see is how to make it effective while also keeping it easy to use. I don't see a point in an app asking a user (through the system) for access to the Documents folder or Desktop folder and the user granting it. I'd prefer something more granular...something that fits the "sandbox" model with precise and granular access. I realize this may be complex, but there's hardly any point arguing about restrictions if giving access means opening up a really big chunk of data (folder) up for an app.

Neotame is 8000 * sweeter than sugar so this is the sweetness equivalent of 0.6 Kg of sugar a day or 2,348 calories for a 100kg human. This is also 8.4 * the average daily sugar consumption in the US.

Ask HN: Interesting sci-fi movies BY TOPIC?
My favorite, ML-based movie recommendation website is (temporarily?) down.

The main reason I like SF (movies) is they explore intriguing ideas. HN has had a number of threads about favorite SF movies, but they tend to repeat the same movies. And some topics are very repetitive, for instance it's hard to find a time-travel movie which does not show the grandfather paradox.

In this post, we can take advantage of threaded nature of HN and create a list of most interesting SF movies by topic.

Rules:

1. Top-level comments are for topics ONLY. I suggest not to upvote any of them, my intent is not karma fishing.

2. Only mention individual movies in comments of 2nd level and later. (index 1 when starting from index 0)

3. For each movie, try to write a single sentence describing why this movie shows an interesting angle.

EDIT: go ahead and create a category if a movie focuses on a different theme!

It is, although more XIXth-Century realism, so darker: someone who was drinking at a bar reappears as a ruined alcoholic later. Someone who got rich suddenly turned mean.

A lot of the speculation on the forty-something unfinished books are based on those trajectories.
One of the biggest force multipliers in overcoming depression is accepting that you can modulate your condition by taking small, deliberate actions.

It's also one of the most difficult and delicate ideas to communicate to a depressed person. Depression notoriously clouds peoples' judgment and makes simple tasks seem impossible. Depression also encourages a lot of binary thinking, where people tend to give up because they can't achieve the optimal solution and can't imagine anything in between optimal and complete failure. And most importantly, depressed people almost never want to hear someone else telling them that they should do something to change their own condition. If you've ever been through a depressive episode, you'll understand how unpalatable this idea is if it's not delivered carefully. Be careful to not make depressed people feel even worse about their condition.

For example, I've known several depressed people who spiraled deeper into depression when they could no longer perform their regular 60 minute gym sessions multiple times per week. It took a while for them to accept that a 5-minute walk around the block is better than no exercise at all. From there, they could push to 10 minute walks on good days, then 20 minutes, then 30 minutes, and eventually work their way back up to gym visits. Taking those tiny steps is a great way to re-learn that you can accomplish things, and it's a great to way to see gradual progress in yourself.
If "everyone's getting it" is an exageration, why are we ok with "everyone" being used as the basis to apply whatever percentage on?

Wuhan still stands out rearding mortality so, with almost 5%. Total deaths there stand at 3,000, the rest of the world, includig the rest of China, stand at roughly 900. Wuhan is overrepresented. No idea why, but I am certain experts are working on that question. South Korea on the other hand has mrtality rate of under 1%.

Totally agree on the testing issue in the US, so. That, combined with the non-existing sick leave insentivising people to not see a doctor and continue to go to work could become a major problem, so. In Europe it's easy, just send people home on sick leave, Germany allows you up to 6 weeks per year per illness. Doctors visits are free for patients as are blood tests. Without all that, the game changes.
I, too, have concerns about how well humans will thrive in low gravity (the moon, Mars, etc). Over time, we could evolve a branch of humanity, "Homo ares", for Mars, but it won't be easy. Venus is just a tragic waste of a planet. So close to Earth in size, so wrong in every other way.

I'm not saying it isn't a bad idea for certain applications. I'm skeptical of the military application that is currently being pushed. It remains to be seen if one of these would even be plausible in the civilian arena, and the pentagon certainly isn't championing such (not that it should).

I hope they work for some, but for me, SSRI's are frankly, trash. All the downsides with none of the upsides.

The only thing that worked was Imipramine, and I can't get it anymore because it's "old" and "not recommended".

The newer focus on psychedelics and drugs usually used for recreational purposes seems more encouraging.

If you're anti-depressant resistant, I'd recommend you try Gabapentin, a seemingly overlooked drug that works wonders for anxiety and depression. Quick tolerance buildup, do not give in and try to go over ~2g/day.

The somewhat similar Phenibut also works, but it's a direct GABA agonist with terrible withdrawal symptoms and an extremely fast tolerance buildup.

Yes. My risk of death is supposedly nominal, but I want to avoid any lung damage.

I haven't had that problem with BitWarden in testing, but I can't change to BW until they come up with some solution for having both a work and and personal vault. The ability to link-in your personal LastPass to your work LP without actually giving your employer any access to your personal LP is really beneficial to my staff.
Modern EVs accelerate incredibly quickly. Tesla uses the 0-60 time as a main feature of their marketing.

Once you have enough battery cells, a large power draw (acceleration) or power feed (charging, deceleration) becomes a very small amount of current for each cell.
TOPIC: Deep Sea Exploration
I reviewed BitWarden about a year ago for my company. Ultimately the reason I rejected it was that I couldn't find a way to reset another user's master password. It is certain that users will forget their master password and need to have it reset.

Perhaps it has changed since, or maybe it was just hard to find. Oh well, too late now.

We ended up using 1Password. My only real complaint with it is the need to create a vault for sharing something from one user to another. That means that if any two people in the company want to share, they need to get an admin involved so the admin can create the vault.
I don't think something like this will take off until a few things happen. First, headsets have to be more comfortable, cheap, and convenient. Lets just assume that will happen.

But also, programs will have to be made with VR in mind. This is still showing browser windows and other programs as square items on a virtual screen. My existing tri-screen setup (2nd hand corporate hardware, cheaps) is really good at that, and I can use it without any claptrap on my face. I can also use it with others when they are with me.

Perhaps apps that break out of the box will be more common when VR is more widespread.
It’s extremely far-fetched, but I think the implication is either China engineered the virus or at least allowed it to spread, either because they already have a vaccine/treatment, or at least know they can control spread among their population better than other superpowers. Not to mention the power they wield by being the world’s supply chain.
TOPIC: What Is Reality
We also leveraging the ICHRA, but Savvy works a little differently.

Instead of a reimbursement-based approach, where employees pay insurance premiums themselves and submit them for reimbursement (like a business expense), we manage the payments for employees. This means the insurance bill is paid by the employer and any extra employee contribution is deducted from payroll. We do it this way so that the employee contribution is also tax-free.

We are also investing heavily in helping employees find the right plan. Behind the scenes our brokers are recommending plans for every employee, and we are building out tools that help employees do things like find a plan with a specific doctor or hospital in network.

Out of curiosity: when you go full throttle on red yellow, dark <-> light goes from red to orange to yellow. Is that really as it is meant to be? I'd (intuitively) expect to be able to go from orange to brown by adjusting the dark/light dimension.

> From what I keep hearing, current EV acceleration is limited by the battery discharge rates

Acceleration today is mostly limited by available traction. It's not at all clear that a liveable car could get appreciably faster acceleration than we have today without a breakthrough in tire technology.

My ex-wife used Stevia a lot and loved it. It tastes bitter and disgusting to me. Growing up, my mom always used Sweet-n-Low (saccharine sweetener) and tried to get me to use it. It always tasted bitter and disgusting to me.

I'm not a fan of grapefruit either (very bitter, no sweetness). Cilantro I'm okay with though; it doesn't taste like soap to me, but to some people it does.
They recently had a blog about moving to kubernetes

It was a kind of Peano arithmetic with pebbles: you kept a sack or pile of pebbles and moved them to another sack or pile one-by-one as your sheep went by one-by-one (Ye Olde Pigeon Hole Principle) and that way you knew you had all of your sheep. Two major innovations after that were the idea that you could e.g. add two piles of pebbles to "calculate" the size of combining two flocks of sheep into a larger flock, and so on, and the idea of naming the pebbles (perhaps from a "counting" song) and then letting the names themselves substitute for the actual pebbles.

So, yes, idea of finite sets is prior to numbers, but numbers were formalized before the idea of sets was formalized, IMO, FWIW.

Yeah, it's poop. None of that works when you're depressed/prone to depression. Add in anxiety and maybe ADHD and you're completely fck'd, it's a neverending feedback loop that only gets worse. Drugs are the only thing that can lift you up, then you can try to make new habits and not fall back. But you'll still likely always need to medicate.
Looks good. We were trying to implement this using a mix of CI, pre-commit hooks and Gitlab PR templates, but it was limiting. This looks like exactly what we needed.

I don't know if it's me but having dealt with depression most of my life, I find "happy" music irritating and grating. Pharrell's "Happy" has to be one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life.

Sad music tends to be more beautiful to me but I don't know that it necessarily affects my mood. But I could be wrong.

Either way though happy music is not happening.
I'm not so sure about that. It takes more delta-v to get to the moon than mars and both are still too far for immediate response to emergencies. Sure the moon has the advantage of emergency assistance of a few days (?) but I don't think that's more valuable than all of Mars's pros
I have for sure run into services that strongly link an account to a person, but don't have a concept of administrative (non-functional) users. Mix this with draconian per-seat licensing and you have a situation where you might reasonably need to store 2FA creds in your vault.

And if you squint a little it's still a 'thing you have' since the vault is something you have to have access to so you can generate the constantly changing 2FA token. It's just a bit easier, in theory, to access than a hardware token or an SMS endpoint.

How to Get into Tech and Become a Senior Engineer in 4 Years
I have heavy lenses, wish I could find cable-temples for adults.
You know, after this comment has percolated in my mind a bit it suddenly hit me that 'the stacks' in Ready Player One are much closer to reality than I'd ever expected.

Honestly I had no idea this was the situation in high schools until we started dating. I would have been class of 2003 and sure we had some 'poor' students but we only had a handful of immigrant/refugee kids that you'd see getting the free food (we typed our code into a keypad that carried a balance or paid cash, you could always tell who was on a free lunch though because you were restricted to what you could take and everything was a la carte).

Her current school also has some serious drug issues which was quite surprising to me. They had to expel some kids for vaping something other than nicotine in the past 2 months, turns out they were vaping something that contained fentanyl (how they got caught, they kept falling asleep in class and were hard to wake), they regularly have bring in drug dogs for both marijuana plant matter and thc vape cartridges, they recently had to remove two students for having sex on grounds and had to turn them over to the police because the male student was filming it with his phone and they were both underage, etc.

It would be amazing if we could just let kids attend from home when sick, during adverse weather, during outbreaks (lice, COVID-19, chicken pox) but the stuff she keeps telling me...

A school here has at least 2 students confirmed with COVID-19 (Avon, Indiana schools) that decided to close all of the schools this week and it's almost entirely a solid middle class school and even they've had trouble just this school year with some instances of drugs and a senior committed suicide around the holidays which sent a bunch of kids spiraling.

I obviously don't know how things are in Europe but I think schools are between a rock and a hard place here in the United States. In many cases teachers may be the only positive attention kids get in person, and the only one that will notice when something is wrong (at her current school and her previous school cutting has been a very big issue).

I'm rambling but the state of schools right now deeply concern me. This up and coming generation seems to have far more problems than mine did.

It’s mentioned quite often in their financial filings but I don’t have an example handy and I don’t feel like digging through a 10K right now. However, here is an Esquire article that mentions it:

>The U.S. was imperfect too, of course, but most of the badness was non-policy like the My Lai massacre, or evil or wrong policies (e.g. segregation) which pale in comparison

I disagree. The biggest badness was support for murderous dictators and paramilitary groups in Iran (1953-1979), Chile (1973-1981), Iraq (at least from 1980-1988 or so), Nicaragua (during the 80s), and numerous other places. This was completely intentional, calculated policy that led to the death of thousands of people.
There’s a cost to providing it, so it does apply. Human right or not. It’s a human right to eat, but I have a cost in labor and expenses to acquire food by various means to ensure that happens.

Again, not arguing whether it’s a human right or not.
If you can’t get “the only thing that worked,” then you need a new doctor. It’s irresponsible and borderline malpractice to take someone off a medication that works simply because it’s “old” or “not recommended,” unless the reason it’s no longer recommended is because of previously unknown side effects.

It sounds like you found what you need in gabapentin, so I’m glad for that, but I would have gotten a new doctor in your situation instead.
I hope you will never give that list to somebody who has depression.

The previous comment is wrong. Not only can you eat at those elevations, but you have to eat. Yes, your body is shutting down, and that includes digestion. You won't want to eat, but you have to force yourself to. Most people eat high carb, high calorie foods on summit day. Your body is burning a lot of calories at high elevations, and you have to replenish them. Your body shuts down faster if you don't regularly eat.

There are lots of accounts and theories about the best foods to eat at these elevations, they are easy to search online. Search for high-elevation diets, or "foods to eat on summit day".
I'd say there was a difference between taking pictures so you had a visual memory of the time you visited Hoover Dam with Grandma, vs. taking pictures because you want an artistically meretricious result. I would say almost none of the photos in our family albums are worth sharing on account of composition, but the contents are valuable to me because they show my grandfather (dead 25 years), they show my dad at 25 standing in front of the horse trailer in which he briefly lived while herding sheep, they show me playing on the steps of a home I only vaguely remember from the LORAN towers I could see blinking from my bedroom window.
