Show HN: Qworp – interactive and programmable living text documents
I used to watch the political discourse on tv during lunch in the hopes I'd find out what they're actually talking about before my lunch was over. Often I didn't guess. Was a fun game when a worked alone from home at the time.
The lobbying of nukes by the Russians would result 100% in an first strike attack by the US. Once they have shown that they are willing to use the nukes the only logical tactic is to try to cut the head off quickly. Right now the odds are on the US could destroy a good percent of the Russian nukes before they receive the order to launch as the US have a better accuracy and quicker launch time. If you wait then you are waiting for them to launch first which means even when you have time to response you have lost. This is the real world math that results in a less screwed outcome (for some meaning of screwed).
True to a degree and dependent on the person. Personally I'm making it a long term goal so I'm only changing things as the time comes. For example both my computer and laptop were super old and finally my laptop gave out so I sold my desktop and just invested in a laptop that could do the job of both. My tv was also old and didn't have an app store or anything a modern smart tv would have seemed I didn't have a proper monitor for my computer only one of those squares ones you'll likely find at your town's library so I invested in a new monitor which I could also use to replace my tv. There's still a lot I want to do such as go through my clothes and kitchen equipment but I anticipate I'll be changing jobs and moving soon so I'll not making any changes there until I know what I'll be doing and where I'll be living.

There's also many degrees to minimalism. My objective is being able to fit everything I own in a studio apartment without clutter. Others have the goal of being able to fully everything in an 80L backpack. Others just want to go into their basement without tripping over storage.
If your oven has an incandescent light, often that's just warm enough. Just leave it on. Same with gas ovens with a lit pilot. I recently noticed mine has a "proof mode" I had been meaning to test out.
Next time, before you state that a sentence "is pure bs", consider applying the principle of charity and wondering whether you might be in the wrong.

Here, you misread. OP said "they look similar" and "they" refers to remdesivir and adenosine, from the prior sentence's clause "Remdesivir is an analog of adenosine".
If you are already a decent programmer then switching to cobol can be easy. Cobol still uses the same logic, just with less fancy tools available.

That other stuff really isn’t that hard. Most of it is copy and paste-able once someone explains it to you. It’s really easy. It could also likely be handled by someone else for a situation like this with new-comers simply writing cobol.
Well, deaths attributed to C-19 should also decrease other deaths (i.e. total deaths should be equal or more, but other causes should decrease). This is not a 100% add-on.

Question Your Defaults
So I think I just was being unimaginative on "scraping"; I wouldn't have thought to save quotes/prose, just things like word counts, processed results (sentiment analysis), pricing, etc. In which case most of that shouldn't come up, but yes I can see where other options are less simple.
This is cool. One minor thing, at least on Firefox it's not possible to open the links to different breads in a new tab. It'd be nice to have that, just so the user can open the breads that interest them in tabs and then sort through them.
Keep in mind that home kitchens typically don't waste much food. Sure sometimes leftovers get pitched, but generally what you buy is what you eat.

Restaurants on the other hand waste an impressive amount of food.
Homicides aren't normally committed by people who would need an assault rifle, and most are probably not using an assault rifle to kill themselves, either.

Also, I wouldn't exactly feel good if someone cut me off for driving a little too slow for them and they waved a gun at me. Somehow these arguments make that OK as if it isn't an escalation or is "oh well gee at least we didn't fist fight."
Or maybe that’s their way of aiming high to land lower when that particular assortment of requirements isn’t yielding them any best-case options.
There's plenty you can get done with a basic variety of tools. There's also different levels of minimalism, but yes at it's extreme I'd agree.
The WHO is in China's pocket and is doing the bidding of CCP. Their advice is not to be trusted.
As a political science student, I am compelled to point the allure of minimalism to the Greco-Athenian ideal of being self-sustaining (to a fair degree). The lack of material possession suggests, to others, that one is complete and satisfied in their seemingly ideal state.

Your anecdote seems to confirm a number of problems which are ravaging academia at large.

Having gone through a master's myself, I think when we pushed two generations of children into college, we generally lowered the bar - across the board, effectively. And that's related to what's happening in the US today.
Yeah, JavaScript and even React have such a critical mass of developer familiarity at this point that I don't see how they could be unseated without some really killer new advantage. Flutter's advantage is... it's a bit faster? Maybe? Maybe the warts when it comes to spanning the platform gap aren't quite as bad? I think it's going to take more than that.

One opportunity could be desktop. If Flutter can beat React Native to that (doesn't really look like it will so far), that could be a killer app. Right now people use Electron, which carries a couple of significant downsides.
With shelter in place orders suddenly doubled the need for TP for homes. Paper mills that target big buyers (who buy by the pallet) use different paper, packaging, and contracts than paper mills that target grocery stores.

Sure there's panic buying on top of this, but that hides the fact that there is an actual shortage.

Paper mills run on low margins and already (typically) run the mill 24/7 so there's not much more excess capacity.
Thanks for the response. I hadn't previously heard of ReCAPTCHA charging users. Is it only large enterprise customers? The people I know who use it in applications haven't mentioned it, but they're nowhere near Cloudflare's scale.

Here are my learnings from my brief interaction with the founder.

- He was very clear on an immediate goal. His current intention is not to make money from the sale of the phones.

- Viable Revenue streams are from a collaboration with third parties who wish to leverage his platform to plug in mostly educational material for farmers.

- He wants to work with other Startups, Companies, in AgTech and others working for farmers.

- He is not competing in a 'cheaper-phone' category but more of a 'content-platform' for farmers.

- We, at Sagri[1], give loans to farmers, who do not have access to institutional lenders (which is more than 50% of Indian Farmers). We rely on our (WIP) credit-score for farmers to disburse loans. We fast-track and doing a lot of manual (spreadsheet + pen-paper) to give loans to farmers, during this epidemic, when it is needed most.

- Our idea is to partner with Sunblaze and give the phones for free to farmers. Farmers, then, payback in installments along with our loan repayments.

- The phone is also not about anything nerdy cool stuff. They don't even care much about being cool but more on optimizing it to able to run at the most optimal way for the resource they have.

- Thanks for the website feedback. I believe they have it just for the sake of it. Once we partner, maybe, we will help them out with that. :-)

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear wife. this is something that I am going to have to go through soon as well since my wife is terminally ill. Thankfully it will be easier considering the she has already made provisions for most things. But at the same time I have been thinking about this and I realize that most places still don't have a good process for it. I'll just pretend I'm her and close them as needed. for everything else I'll just suffer through it I suppose. I'm not a developer in so I can't comment on the rest. I work in web hosting and in our industry a death certificate is typically required before an account could be handed over to someone else. In those cases as well it's better to just pretend that you're the deceased and transfer the account as needed. I wish you all the best! I'm sure this will be just one small part of a very difficult process.

I think Tailscale does this the right way - open sources as much as possible, without exposing everything. That being said, they are targeting the sysadmin/hacker market, which disproportionately appreciates (and potentially expects) software to be open source.

It's a start, but personally, between my work phone + laptop, and personal phone + laptop, along with misc other devices, means that I find myself in the app switching devices more often than is ideal. It's a bit cumbersome. Better than competing products, way better than trying to manage without, could still use additional improvement to support additional devices.

I think it's safe to assume that the majority of users are good actors. With that in mind, the two main attacks that these sorts of crowdsourcing apps need to figure counterattacks for are:

1. Minimizing the damage an individual can do. This is usually pretty easy to solve. InStock has the issue that a unique item could be said to be out of stock, and not have any other users report otherwise for a while.

2. Minimizing the damage that a coordinated group effort can do. This can be difficult to solve. The attackers will likely succeed for a while; you'd need a system in place to detect anomalies (or at worst, rely on users to report the issue) and a weighted scoring system (20 brand new users shouldn't sway what an active 6 month account says, etc).

I've yet to see TP come back in stock at my local grocer during my trips, so I hope this project succeeds.

Based on what I've read about how and where the outbreaks started, I'm pretty sure that when this is over and the analysis comes in, air-travel will get the blame for the early and rapid spread of this virus. It looks clear that Taiwan's robust success is the result of immediate quarantine of travelers.

Two people recently flew into a Gwitchin community in the Yukon expecting to live off the land. They were quickly (and angrily) isolated and flown back to Whitehorse by the RCMP.
One issue is the time it may take to get a loan approved and have funds available, especially during a crisis as dramatic as the one we’re in. The other larger issue is that the loan is incredibly high risk because the owner may not ever be able to pay it back and in some cases be asked to put their personal property up as collateral. If getting a loan was such a slam dunk, many more owners would be pursuing it, but the realities are, they may be worse off taking a loan they cannot pay back versus closing up and moving on.
> How do you think food becomes ‘cheap’?

By people figuring out how to produce it more cheaply, so that the producers can afford to sell it more cheaply, so that people can buy it more cheaply. How else?

> Fresh fruit is more expensive than a bottle of soda.

Huh? I can buy organic bananas at my local grocery for 69 cents a pound. Even a single-serving bottle of soda costs more than that. A 2-liter bottle of soda costs a bunch more.

> Organic food is more expensive than conventionally grown.

Usually, yes. But the price differential is not always that big. Conventionally grown bananas at the same grocery I mentioned above sell for 59 cents a pound.

> Local food is more expensive than imported food.

Depends a lot on the locality. The same grocery I mentioned above routinely has locally grown produce, for the kinds that can be feasibly grown locally (things like apples, tomatoes, and various greens are the most common in my area) at the same or cheaper prices as imported.

> Cheap food is for poor people.

Yes, because that's all they can afford. But you seem to insist that "cheap" cannot equal "good". So you are condemning poor people to never having good food because you think it's unavoidable that good food can't be cheap.

> When people who can afford to pay a little more refuse to do so

Who said they were? I always buy the organic produce at the grocery I mentioned above. In fact my wife and I pretty much buy organic everything, because we are fortunate enough to be able to afford it. I have never said that people who can afford to pay more for food never do.

I am talking about the many, many people who can't afford to pay more for food. Is it a law of physics that healthier food has to be more expensive? Or is it because no effort has been put into making healthier food cheaper? Entrepreneurs have done wonders in making many other things cheaper while maintaining or even drastically increasing quality and capability (like the smart phones you mentioned). Why is this somehow not possible for food?

I always thought that was Facebook's home grown tool since I've only ever seen fb people use it.
I have noticed that people pushing minimalism...or at least the idea of "throw it away and buy it if you ever end up needing it" is a luxury that I think many people take for granted. Even if you're not privileged I think there's value in consciously assessing where in your life you want to be minimal and where you don't. I just went through my old tech stuff and recycled cellphones so old they may not even connect to the network, cables and adaptors to hardware I no longer own, and piles of network cables that came free with things. I slimed them down to just a few of each with the recent free time I've had.

As I got more serious about cooking I donated a lot of extra pans and doo-dads. Previously, I would just collect things and as I learned more about what made something good and why, I could narrow down to 1 or 2 higher quality items (knives, pans, etc). As I learned more techniques, I needed fewer specialty items.

To your point, having a lawn service means not needing a mower. Hiring out a painting service means not having old buckets, brushes, tarps, etc, laying around.

I do think (at least Americans) hoard. I know there's been a few times where I know I had something, but I didn't know where and considered just buying another. To me, that's worse than donating or giving it away years before. I know a lot of people pay monthly for self-storage, but probably don't know what's in there or wouldn't take the time to retrieve something. To me, this is what the Marie Kondo book was targeting.

We don't know yet. These numbers are still preliminary, but it helps us to understand better the impact of the workarounds that doctors have needed to use, to tell the CDC it's COVID, when the software does not yet have a button for COVID.

The good news from the recent report (https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-Death-Counts-for-Coron...) is that overall mortality in America these past few months, has actually been lower than previous years. The bad news is that we should prepare for the possibilty that mortality for the new coronavirus specifically could turn out to be much worse than many non-official sources online have speculated, and that what's happening in NYC is happening in a lot more places too. Correcting for software workarounds and verifying good accurate data takes time.
That’s neat. It sounds like some kind of “Spiritual Prime Directive.”
For those of us working in tech, it can be extremely satisfying to bake your own bread. I did that a few years ago, starting from scratch, making my own sourdough starter, and baking daily. It's rediscovering what a typical family did centuries ago. Your starter becomes a pet.
I had to stop it due to a lot of travel, but I still have a packet of my starter vacuum sealed and frozen.
Maybe I should try again. Travel certainly won't be an issue for a while.
Silly question, but how the heck do you update the firmware? I have QC35 and I never realized they could be updated. Do I need to use the app? If I just never use the app am I safe from this bug?

In this post they're adding an option to do this. Albeit only to a single earlier firmware.
There is another side to this where "stuff" becomes a liability. If I know I'm going to be moving frequently, having stuff is expensive, minimalism becomes a frugal option.

To this point, there is a certain luxury in being able to keep stuff around, to even have the space for it to begin with. If I own a studio apartment I don't have room for random 2x4's to come save the metaphorical day.
> production from fixed resources

> Ag depends on labour.

Labor is not a fixed resource. Also, ag does not have to depend on labor. It does now because, as you say, the supply chain is currently set up to take advantage of the cheap labor which is available in many places. But it doesn't have to be set up that way.
> Anyone who puts non-tactile touch controls on _headphones_ shouldn't be allowed to design electronics interfaces ever again.

My QC35's died - probably not Bose's fault. Too old to be repaired, apparently. Got the 700's. And I seriously regret it. The fact that it's hard to get the "gestures" right is one thing. What's worse is that the controls trigger spuriously all the damn time.

They also semi-regularly just hang, make a somewhat high-pitched sound, and reboot. They regularly announce "bluetooth off", just after the announcement that a device disconnected. With multiple connected devices there's constant problems with only one of those being audible. Changes which.
