I'm really surprised that Keybase hasn't pushed harder in this direction. From the beginning that's always felt like one of the most logical tools for them to build on top of their product.

Blood pressure has been tested, and is normal (120/70).

I'd be surprised if I had a blood sugar problem. No family history of Type-1 diabetes. I'm thin/muscular. Workout regularly (lift+run).

I suppose it's possible, but I would be surprised. Human body is a weird thing.
I love the landing page, but what is it? I went to the product page but all I could see is pricing.
An interesting book interviewing high-level programmers is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coders_at_work. The book starts out with JWZ and ends with Knuth. In addition to covering their work, Peter also asks each one whether or not they have read TaoCP, how they feel about C++, and whether the use a debugger.

Only one of the people has read the book, with even Knuth saying that he hasn't read it. Of course, he is joking.

But this is a fun read.
Show HN: Get notified when grocery pickup slots are available
First off, thank you for building and sharing with the community. I have built a few landing pages with React and always end up regretting because you always need a React developer to maintain. I think best to build the landing pages (about, homepage, faq, etc) in something a non tech person can use like Wordpress or at least Hugo (markdown). You don’t need to bring in a React developer when you want to add a new marketing section to the homepage.
> We had to move off of Stripe because Stripe doesn't handle tax collection and remittance.

Chargebee does this on top of Stripe.
Patrick, we switched away from Stripe because your risk management systems kept declining valid cards in certain low-GDP countries, and there was no way to override.

We are one of the larger SaaS companies and as a personal lover of Stripe, it was surprising to me that you couldn’t customise these systems, esp at our volume.

We switched to Ayden and saw very significant revenue increases in those countries; because valid cards stopped getting declined.
It's interesting though, how do you conceptually deal with these very large numbers? Do you equate it to some kind of internal standard of 'X employee years' or how does it work for you?
But it definitely is legal in lots of other places, here in Norway for instance. And going out to exercise once a day is not merely legal but encouraged even in the UK.
Landing Page Design Ideas Which Improves Conversion Rates
Yep. But the big part is that even with a smaller than full-frame sensor, you still end up with a higher effective aperture and better noise at a given luminosity than say a Nikon P1000, for less cost. You give up zoom and IS (unless you go for an a6500, still cheaper than a P1000), though.
Show HN: S3 Bucket Monitoring – Are your private buckets private?
Hi HN,

Shane and August here from Cronitor. We built this S3 monitoring feature and are excited to be launching it on HN today and hearing your feedback.

A little backstory - a couple of months ago I was talking to a friend who works at a ~500 person company. They have a small development/IT team, but software development isn't their core business.

In his second month on the job my friend was combing through S3 buckets to get a sense of what teams were using it. In doing so he came across a public bucket that contained both private customer and business data. It seemed clear to him that this bucket definitely should be private so he started asking around.

It turned out an analyst in the finance department had asked someone they knew on the development team if they could make that bucket public so that they could pull data from it programatically. That person, not knowing any better, and wanting to help a more senior person at the company made the change and went on with their day.

There have been so many examples of S3 buckets exposing private data[0], and this conversation made me realize that this was a perfect addition to our uptime monitoring service[1]. We use AWS lambdas that attempt to connect to your bucket in a couple of different ways to determine if there is any public access. It’s built on top of our existing Uptime Monitoring network by using Boto for these checks instead of our standard HTTP client. We check your buckets constantly and if a private bucket suddenly becomes public an immediate alert is sent to the right person.

Let us know what you think!

It's cool that you're responding in this thread, and thanks, but I just have to mention that these experiences are from about a month ago. Not sure if that's what you mean by "early on".
This says that the "first generation" of particles includes the quarks. That is, just as the electron has the muon and the tau as related but heavier particles, the quarks also have such particles.

Do such particles exist? I had thought that the six (plus their antiparticles) were all there are.
I was replying to your claim:

> Advertising that is relevant to my wife probably isn't relevant to me, using IP is not good enough.

Advertisers do not care about what you as a human do in the same way that e.g. some government agencies might. Both the paper and you talked about "user tracking" in the context of advertising. My claim is that "IP address identification is actually 'good enough' for advertising" (for some kinds of advertising, at least, but the discussion here is complex and I really don't want to get into it - on short, the problem is not so much with the 'tracking'/building the profile, but with being confident enough that you're not targeting the wrong person/household member during the delivery of the more sensitive ads; and with not spooking/startling the user with "how the hell do they know this about me" - sometimes the user needs to be e.g. logged in so that he understands why he received an ad).

In particular, there are large swaths of companies that don't care whether it's you, your wife or your child - Disney e.g. will happily serve you ads based on activity performed by your children or wife, and will make no effort to figure out if it was you or them because it doesn't matter.
So who decided that the article claims were false? Medium did? So Medium is now joining Facebook in censoring scientific articles, because they don't like it. Interesting times.
Every line of code represents an opportunity for a defect. In the case of a landing page, that could crater your conversion rate.

You reduce that risk by using more static HTML.
They definitely use them, but less often on the i9 series since there isn't a lot of options in that range.

Yep, its hard to find technical folks who can build things, especially someone else's ideas.
This is what I hoped the Ubuntu Phone would be: a full-featured Linux distribution running on a phone! It also suffers from not capturing the Android app ecosystem, but at least it might drive Gnome to get responsive/phone-ready apps. Plus using the same base could enable some nice computer-phone integration.
15 minutes is enought to track you on a commute. Why not generate a new byte string every 30s?
August and I are happy to answer any questions! Here is a clickable link:

> Instead of using the time to determine the distance as typical lidar does, it uses the phase difference, and requires a precise phase measurement. This unfortunately is not nearly as accurate, especially with such a low-powered laser.

To be honest, I'm a little curious about this because it seems exactly the opposite to me. In my experience, area scanners use phase shift methods to measure, but I know there's a lot of variety out there that I'm not exposed to. Low-powered lasers would, I expect, limit working distance--but I'm a little surprised to find it would have significant impacts on the measurement method.
This is fascinating. If you ever feel like writing about your experiences adapting codebases, I'd read it in a heartbeat! :)
C99 kind of addressed it, unless one manually takes the effort to properly place restrict in the correct places, and not mistakenly misuse it (possibly triggering UB), it won't match what optimizing Fortran compilers are capable of without any additional effort from the programmer.
Thanks! I labeled the button "Pin" mostly because of space, but I can see how that would be unclear. I don't think "Pin Open" would fit, but I'll keep the idea in mind and see if I can think of a better way of handling it.
In the last few months, I put together a tiny static website for my SO to sell her photographs to clients, and I budgeted a lot of time for integrating a payments solution. Like many others will say, I was pleasantly surprised how little time the integration step took.

I used the "beta" react hooks integration, and the UX of getting it all set up was basically flawless. I found the documentation (especially the quickstarts/tutorials) to be incredibly helpful.

Four pieces of constructive feedback:

- There seemed to be 3 or so quickstarts/tutorials for the same developer flow, at varying levels of detail (good), but they all had similar names and were difficult to distinguish from each other. My impression was that they were built on top of each other (i.e. one was X years old, another one X-2, etc.), but the old ones weren't removed? Unsure.

- I found the API documentation to be very good on big screens, but relatively painful on smaller screens.

- On my personal laptop (an older thinkpad), scrolling through the docs was unresponsive at times. In general, I'm a fan of the "everything-on-one-page" approach, because it makes grepping the docs easier. But I think that the quantity of dynamic elements in the API interferes with this approach :/

- I don't appreciate applications that hijack ctrl+f. I appreciate that you can double click to get native browser search, and that this is explained in the modal, but I really wonder if this helps people navigate more efficiently. I appreciate that the work that's gone into this feature must be very impressive, but I'd prefer a search bar with a different hotkey than ctrl+f. Might be worth AB testing.

Ending on a note of praise, the dashboard experience is incredible. Huge kudos on how far it's come, and how easy it is for nontechnical people to use and discover.
I guess, for me, context matters (and reasonable people can disagree here! :) )

We are in the middle of a pandemic that may take years to resolve. One way (and the way I am interpreting this post, in the absence of any note from the OP) is that they believe the current events fit a pattern that's predicted / described in the Bible.

That worries me, because it implies a series of beliefs that don't have a basis in reality yet continue to drive poor decision making across multiple domains affecting millions. Faith has its place, but that place is not in driving discussions or decision-making during a pandemic, except for individual / personal succour...

Granted this goes against the house rules to make the most positive interpretation of intent, but., given the extant political climate, strongman leaders (globally) who challenge, abuse and distrust erudition, often hand in glove with antediluvian revisionist, communal groups, it is a challenging thing to do. :)
I don't think the scholastic philosophers were thinking the precise balance would happen in reality, but rather the very concept seemed absurd. That's the nature of intuition pumps. Not exactly a cut and dry deductive argument, but they show certain conclusions are most compatible with what seems to be common sense. And a general principle in philosophy is to try disrupting common sense conservatively, that on balance if one worldview is much more at odds with common sense than another worldview, the latter is preferred.
That's not what the "market thinks" at all. The stock market is much more complicated than you assume it is. But if you want a really simple explication: 4t$ more in circulation chasing the same amount assets, interest rates make it non viable to hold bonds, and you don't want to buy bonds anyways if you expect a more inflationary economy. If there's expectations of inflation, you go for stocks and if there's inflation AND 0 interest rate, you RUN for stocks.

You can also think of it this way, retail investors can afford staying in cash indefinitely but make up a tiny portion of the capital. Big money NEEDS to either buy bonds or park their capital in any yielding asset. Right now treasuries offer safety but negative real yields for probably a long time. But a pension fund still needs to generate returns to pay it's beneficiaries. So what's the best and cheapest option right now, by far? Stocks. You have to keep in mind that prices are relative so if stocks are relatively cheaper than bonds you buy stocks. Now add 4t$ to that and you get a stock market that stays strong even if everyone in the market knows the huge economic risks we are facing right now.

Never assume that a whole entire sector that has so much incentives to price in all the available data would just ignore something because they feel like it. I don't get how people really believe that.
I've got a 4800hs 8-core laptop that should be showing up on my doorstep later today. My kid is doing some heavy video/graphics work in Adobe in her undergraduate program, and going to try this as a potential desktop/workstation replacement since she is still a bit of a nomad as a student. Her current laptop just can't handle the work without trying to cook itself - but will have some apples to apples rendering comparisons based on her homework soon.

The crazy thing is the cost.. about $1000 for a base unit. Will be doing some comparisons to my other desktop threadrippers just to see where it stacks up.
fwiw, my wife's uncle is now on a ventilator due to covid, and he has traced it back to going to our local Home Depot. He also believed it was "blown out of proportion". ymmv.
Without even opening that second link I can guess that Forrest Addy chimes in at some point :-)

haha. That was even his quote :-)
Good question. There isn't really a great answer right now.

Matrix supports e2ee. Though I believe the only existing implementation is Riot-IM (which actually planned on stabilizing e2ee and making it default today, Apr. 16 https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/6779).

Also the MLS protocol (https://messaginglayersecurity.rocks/) will likely support federation once it's published, although it'll be a long while before people start implementing and federating it.
> most people/OEMs will couple a 9900k with a pretty beefy cooler and set the boost duration to be effectively infinite

They will, but that's technically no longer stock. Prebuilt systems from mainstream OEMs are unlikely to be configured like that, especially when we're not talking about the enthusiast line of motherboards.

If the motherboard is following Intel's actually spec for these (which does exist), then it will settle in to the TDP limit after PL2's duration is exceeded, which is supposed to be 8 seconds for Intel's 95W spec.

It is likely that the unnamed HP system with the i9-10900F is at least following Intel's recommended settings here. The 9900K system might very well not be, though, which would then make the power budget gap that much wider.
Oh sure, I'm not saying it's not a useful feature. Just an observation of how different usage patterns can lead to blindspots.
> it's important to be clear about what is actually being argued

I agree, and I'm not arguing with you, at least not directly.

I personally think of "rights" as a kind of useful fiction that gives a kind of psychological "leverage" in politics. I understand that a lot of people think that that term has some sort of concrete real-world referent, but I don't. I've never read anything intelligible on the matter, e.g. the US Constitution says God endowed us with them. It's poetic but legally meaningless AFAICT.

So I really don't want to argue about principles. It smacks of theology to me and I believe in the separation of Church and State.

Bitcoin, for better-or-worse, already lets people transfer wealth without asking anyone for permission for very reasonable cost. One way I can interpret what you're saying is that governments shouldn't attempt to outlaw that.

But I think you mean more. I think you mean something like, constitutions should be amended to include EFT as a "basic human right", and that governments should provide the service too. Is that right?
A lot of things. One is the "AI" which isn't so much "I" and quite error prone and hard to impossible to analyze in detail and/or debug. The idea that bad people (be it trolls, criminals or spooks) could force deliberate malfunctioning of/misclassifications in AIs and thus cause crashes is off-putting, on top of the general "normal" errors you can expect.

Then the business/political aspects of it, like Tesla demanding somebody who bought a used car pay again for Autopilot.

We already saw crashes by Autopilot users not paying any attention whatsoever (granted AP isn't fully "self-driving", but still).

On top of that, just like with better car safety and even with the introduction safety belt laws, we saw a stark uptick in accidents, that usually affected people outside the car the most, such as pedestrians and bikers. So me being a pedestrian quite often, I dread in particular the semi-self-driving/assisted driving car tech like autopilot, and have a good skepticism when people tell me that the (almost) perfect fully self-driving cars are just around the corner. If my skepticism turns out to be unwarranted, great.

And this tech will keep many consumer cars around longer, in disfavor of public transportation. The one good-ish thing that came out of SARS-CoV-2 is the reduction in air pollution (I am not saying it is a net positive because of that, far from it). The air smells noticeably nicer around here and the noise is also down.
Not OP, but my guess is businesses that previously had little to no online presence are scrambling to set something up so that they can continue serving customers during the pandemic.

Hi HN!

We realized that curbside pickups is a great compromise for everybody's health and safety right now.

We built Curb Run because we found it very difficult to get a curbside pickup slot at our local Wegmans. Willing to drive a bit further away to another location, I hacked together a little script that would check for pickup slots across multiple stores in a radius.

Fast forward, friends and family started hearing about this and asked if we could help them too. We ended up turning this into a web app for everybody to use -- and with many more stores and chains across the US.

We hope that this can help you as well!
I really do hope the Librem 5 is a success, and I'm extremely grateful to Purism for moving forward with this. I will absolutely make Librem my primary phone provided it has a reasonable price tag for good hardware specs and is usable.

That said, a little while ago I looked into developing some apps for the Librem, and I don't think they intend to either now or in the future provide any sort of a paid app store. This is a massive problem IMHO. I write lots of open source and will continue to do so, but without a means of funding it will never take off like the other major platforms. I would love to see free-as-in-speech app store that also allows payment. As has been repeated ad nauseum, free-as-in-speech doesn't have to also mean free-as-in-beer.

That said also, I don't actually think Purism needs to do this themselves. In fact it may be a lot better if they don't and we had an independent org running the "app store." It would obviously require some collaboration with Purism tho, so I hope I'm wrong about their apathy toward the idea.

In related news I have the PinePhone Braveheart edition and am super pleased with it. Hopefully between the different companies going for it, we'll have some fully open alternatives to Android/iOS soon!
It's the Latin equivalent of human languages: it can't go out of style and (significantly) change because it's never been in style (at least not since the fall of Rome). That's why it's used for scientific naming.

One of the key reasons we might not see this yet is Thunderbolt 3 support. Thunderbolt is noticeably missing from the new AMD laptops on the market - e.g. the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2020). Thunderbolt itself is an Intel technology.

The emergence of USB 4 (effectively TB3) as a standard will change that. Perhaps we'll see that become available in AMD's next generation of CPUs.
What's wrong with measuring velocity? I find it useful.
But if human civilization has flourished in much warmer earth in the past, why are you so convinced that a warming globe is necessarily a bad thing? Humans seem pretty adaptable, especially if the change is slow like climate change seems to be. That would seem like a good alternative view to investigate before putting all your money on "destroy the current world order".
