To put it bluntly:

How can research be easy? If it is easy, aim higher.

If you want to start a business but you haven't had an idea in 2 years even though you are paid for having ideas, that's a problem.

Being a business insider is the best place to come up with ideas. Maybe you can ask for a temporary transfer out of your research position onto the production line or into sales? Experience the problems. Then the ideas come by themselves.

Bring one idea to market and you have the reputation to be a freelancer or a founder.
While this is interesting, trigger warnings are used online as keywords to filter out some posts, so people do not have to read them in the first place.

i really hope that if they are able to iron things out, that psychedelic drugs can be safely prescribed as an alternative for people with depression. NA and AA (Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous) both permit alternative forms of and narcotic medicine as long as

1) they are the only available options or last ditch effort
2) prescribed by doctor which knows your addiction history
3) you are regularly and closely monitored (by doctor and support group)

even with those stipulations and checks in place, relapse is something to be concerned with. i just had a close friend relapse after 18 years cause of pain pills that were prescribed to him. in the programs defense though, he was ignoring rule #3 where he was ignoring being regularly and closely monitored by doctor and support group.

No, but the kernel of truth here is that unguided, amateur trips can have negative consequences. However, studies have been showing extremely positive outcomes under controlled circumstances with experienced guides.
Even more funny they had a decade of my searches and online activity before I started adblocking and supposedly some of the sharpest minds of our time employeed to make me click on ads and I can't recall buying a single thing from a Google ad, mostly because the ads where ridiculously misplaced.

Facebook on the other hand, a company where I only have a minimal profile since I utterly distrust them[0] manages to serve me not only less annoying but sometimes actual useful ads (as: I've bought things from Instagram or Facebook ads that have saved me money and improved my quality of life).

[0]: Google I just dislike and treat with caution. They seem competent with data security and obsessed with protecting all their juicy data even if - at least to me - they seem so utterly incompetent at uskng it to match ads to profiles that I have suggested it might be some sort of scam against ad buyers ;-)

Unfortunate because it lends a tremendous amount of credibility to the lab-made hypothesis, which can only increase tensions with China and lead to geopolictial consequenses which will leave us all worse off.

Glad you like the name!
There seems to be a large spread between how the person who used psychedelics describes their experience vs how it appears to me. It used to just be the people who were in to crystals and vibrations and other new age things, but I see it with most people who talk about the benefits of psychedelics. Very smart people claim to have learned profound things from their experiences but when they explain them, they sounds like nonsense to me. They common quality is that the experiences sound disconnected from reality. They try to explain the experience and are fully convinced they learned some fundamental truth but can't explain it in any way that makes sense. Like when you have an emotional reaction to a dream but when you explain the dream, you realize the literal description in nonsense. Perhaps disconnecting from reality a bit or internalizing a core belief that everything OK, even when it isn't, is a good thing for making you happy, but there seems to be a lot of downside in breaking critical thinking in a lot of people's heads.

I used to listen to Tim Ferris and Peter Attia, and thought they were both very logical thinkers, but since they started talking up the benefits of psychedelics, I keep getting that same feeling that what they are describing sounds more like trying to levitate the pentagon to end the war.

I think Linux itself is ready to go mainstream, but it's not going to work until enough laptop vendors start selling with Linux pre-installed, and with the issues worked out already.

I mean, I've run into all kinds of issues trying to install Windows as well, including digging through random vendors' websites looking for drivers. But most people's experience is fine, because the laptop vendor provided all of that out-of-the-box.
It’s absolutely awful. Imagine being named Karen.

Never used Strapi so take this with a grain of salt

- Hasura doesn't provide an admin interface. It's just supposed to be a backend, not a CMS.

- Strapi doesn't have a mechanism for sending events to the client, although it seems GraphQL subscriptions are in their roadmap.

- Strapi doesn't seem to have a way to do aggregations. The only aggregation I see is "count", and it seems that is there for pagination, which makes sense for their intended audience.

- While Strapi has simple filters, you can't do more complicated logic by using "and" and "or". You have to write a custom query using the ORM they use. Hasura allows clients to make such queries with no changes to the backend.

There is overlap between their functionality, but they are clearly meant for two different audiences / types of project.

One thing to note is that Russian italics usually take the letter forms of Russian cursive. Some of these look completely different than the block letter (think Latin Q or Z vs their cursive counterparts), so you have to be able to read it for more than just handwriting.

HN is for anything that gratifies intellectual curiosity. Sometimes that's news in the common sense of the word, but often it's more obscure things, and those are welcome here.

I think of the "new" in the "news" in "hacker news" as being like the used clothing store in my home town that used to be called "New to You".

Active adapters of the sort you might need probably start around $70 and go up depending on the ports required. To get a 4k hdmi 2.0 to dp adapter would cost like $120+ for example.
Yabai is unable to tile Emacs, and I use Emacs 99% of the time. So sadly that’s a no for me.
It's an old Unix convention: ^W (Ctrl-w) would remove a word using the Emacs keybindings. So in place of striking out a word, you'd put ^W and the replacement, as you would when typing it out ("clueless...err, no, wait...ctrl-W...HELPFUL").
WebRTC (firefox and chrome) can (usually) stream individual XWayland windows using the same mechanism that was in place for window sharing under X. Wayland native apps are not shareable (and may not be if/until some protocol changes are introduced).

My best suggestion is to develop another skill that could be distantly related to the skill you already have. In my case, before I retired I was good, not great at circuit design and was good, not great at developing firmware in C. With those two skills, I did not go unemployed. As far as boredom goes, most professions/vocations have long periods of boredom. I once asked a helicopter pilot if he ever got bored. His reply was that flying helicopters entailed long hours of complete boredom interspersed with moments of shear terror.
I never experienced such slowness.
It’s almost like mental health is just like our physical health. Not preparing ones self for changes or heavy lifting can cause muscle failure. Why is your brain any different?

I support psychedelics but you need someone who’s borderline a psychotherapist to escort you the first time and guide you long term. Too many people just swallow a pill without thinking of side effects...

Edit: Downvoted... I spent a year researching MDMA and preparing my brain for the toxic effects before taking it recreationally for the first time. Had the best ever experience and never had the ectasy hangover that’s so common with the drug.. you need to mentally prepare before doing psychoactive drugs and if you can’t you need a sitter and be ready for the possibility of a bad time.
As I pointed out a while back (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22974882), the "SHARD" system described in that paper didn't actually have anything to do with "sharding" as the term is currently used. It was designed to replicate data, but it didn't do any kind of partitioning; each replica stored a copy of the entire dataset.

For that reason (in addition to the low number of citations), I think it's very likely that the name is a total coincidence. Pretty much any word you can think of has been used by somebody as an acronym for some project.
Those other Asian nations also have stroke order rules for native writing. None of the apparent claims in this thread ("Stroke order stunts creativity!" "Stroke order shows/increases intelligence!" "Stroke order has negative correlation with English proficiency!") seem well-founded.
These were great growing up. The March Madness one made me laugh. It's good to know that these things still give that effect. Will almost certainly be lost to future generations.

I'm sure you're right that people occasionally leverage a friend network to upvote content to the front-page. I get the sense this happens a lot on Product Hunt.

But I know for a fact this isn't the _only_ way to reach the front-page of HN because I didn't ask anyone to upvote this post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i think one evolutionary purpose of chronic pain is to remind about the event which caused it.

for example, every time it rains i'm reminded of all the events which caused fractures. hopefully that helps with not repeating them.
Not anywhere near extremely, but there's not actually good data as research is banned since the late 60s. They are a powerful tool.
On the contrary, most of the emulation community looks down on YouTube videos as an out-of-date source of incorrect information contrary to best practices.

I think you'd be surprised at the wide availability of written information and guides for emulation.
You can make a guess based on rent and salaries. Those aren't amazing businesses, probably the median one nets a few grand per month.
Am working at similar insurance "tech" company.

Maybe you'd be surprised at how easy it is to lose money... At least - to me - it seems hard to be profitable with the margins required to have a silicon valley office + salaries. The company I'm at is very worried about loss ratio. You oversubscribe to one region because you're competitive there and some minor weather event happens - bad time. Even if your company isn't paying directly for losses, you lose lots of money in having to handle claims and you lose leverage with contracts in the future with the people who do actually pay out the claims.
The city had already started out with an extremely high crime rate and it dropped significantly after the PD was disbanded and remade. It hasn't gotten to typical levels but I don't think people are expecting magical results here. People want a useful police that treat them with respect and that doesn't use any opportunity to terrorize them and murder them. You know, like the police in every other first world country.
Huh I admit my impressions may not reflect the current state of things.
380 F is way too hot for cooking eggs. I have a Control Freak induction cooktop that directly measures the temperature of the pan, and 380 F is closer to searing than it is to cooking eggs. They would burn almost immediately.
There's more to the Leidenfrost Effect's impact on the cooking eggs than just the temperature. For the TL;DR version, watch the Myth Buster's take[1] on how you can put your hand into molten lead and not get burned.

To that vein... I invented AJAX :P

I remember it being around 2001 - 2002 and seeing the first implementations of Microsoft for Javascript requests and at the same time the DOM was started to be a thing you could actually manipulate and I started experimenting on doing programmatic page updates for a system I was developing for the office I was working for (I worked for a state office back then).

Then the big crisis of 2002 hit (I live in Argentina), I lost 2 of the 3 jobs I had at the time (And the one that I kept was the one bringing in the less amount of money) and I ended up moving to Spain for a few years.

When I finally managed to land a job coding (2007) AJAX already had its own name and dynamic pages were taking the world by storm (And to hell, via callbacks).

P.S.: That "I invented AJAX" was obviously tongue in cheek. I'm pretty certain that there was a lot of people doing the same thing all around the globe, and very likely that was the idea that got that implemented on the MS side of things in the first place.
Hey now...
Of all the things I like in haskell (having only used it a as a hobbyist), refactoring tops the list. It's a lot less scary to refactor when the compiler tells you so much about which parts you missed.

Kinda surprised to not see Perl in there in some form, since it's still around as the glue holding a lot of older systems together (and for new stuff, but that's not the point of this article). Then again, it's got a little bit different of a story, since most (almost all) the old Perl from decades ago will run find on a brand new Perl interpreter released recently.
Like many, I've been wondering whether there was any malfeasance by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner because their report did not attribute Floyd's death to "asphyxiation". This article thoroughly examines the issue and barring the emergence of new and unexpected information, puts it to rest in my mind. It explains in detail why the both the official autopsy and the independent autopsy are basically saying the same thing.

The article also anticipates that the bogus diagnosis of "excited delirium" will be brought up at Chauvin's trial — but it was not in any of the autopsies, but an assessment by one of the officers on the scene.
I didn't make a call for civility. The specific words matter.

I haven't read this whole thread, but the parts that I saw definitely did not lack for pushback. The question is how best to push back. Denunciatory rhetoric doesn't work. Its purpose is to provide momentary relief to the denouncer, at the cost of damaging the container and evoking more, not less, hatred from the other side.

There are better mechanisms for pushing back against hatred: flagging, downvoting, responding within the site guidelines, and in egregious cases emailing hn@ycombinator.com.
Somebody can have a disposition for psychotic illness and live a whole lifetime without it manifesting. Drugs could be the trigger that destroys that person's life. Maybe these drugs should be allowed to be used in certain clinical settings, but I wish they had a better grasp on the risk factors for psychosis, so they knew who not to give it to. Certainly they should be kept illegal for recreational use, including marijuana.
Stallman decided to reimplement Unix because it was popular, not because it was somehow better suited to the hardware.

I do prefer static self contained binaries, but I think it's important to note that Python's package management system is horrible, and making self contained binaries is not the only way to fix it.

It's not just Germany. Police killings are significantly lower in many many other countries compared to the US.
I just do not get the appeal of being on Nextdoor - I guess there's some value in actual important announcements (I found a lost dog once and my roommate who's on there found a post about it and got in touch with the owner, which was cool), but from what I've seen on my very brief time on there, those are drowned out by ridiculous nonsense. It seems like the people who are on there self-select to the ones in a given neighborhood who are the least informed but have the most time on their hands.
At the conferences I went to it looked like most (80%) shuffled from one talk to another. The hallways were for walking to different talks. You could potentially talk in the queue to get in or out of a talk but no one talked to me at all.

There was a big space for vendors to have stalls but if you talked to them it was like talking to a sales person. Sometimes they had a tech-oriented sales person but it was still selling you their product.

IMO the smartest thing you can do early in your career is get enough exposure to figure out what you're really good at. In my case, working for a startup for a few years exposed me to all parts of the business, from configuring modbus connections to making product decisions and managing a team. Some of these things sounded interesting until I was working on them every day; others seemed boring until I really dug in. In any case, I came out of it with a clear understanding of which career path I wanted to pursue, without all of the what-ifs that come with a lack of exposure.

If you find your niche, the money will come. If you find your niche, the fulfillment will come. I wouldn't recommend chasing either until you have a sense of what kind of work makes you feel competent and accomplished at the end of the day.

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is 'rare,' WHO says
A lot going on, yes, but impossible to believe the police were not aware. In the US, if higher-ups tried to suppress this, it'd be leaked to the press, and all hell would break loose.
"In our model, we minimize any incentive to deny legitimate claims as we aim to give back, rather than pocket, leftover monies. After our customers purchase a policy, we ask them to designate a charitable cause for us to support with the residual premiums from their policy. Despite there being no contractual obligation requiring us to donate leftover premiums to nonprofits, when a customer embellishes a claim, such customer reduces the total amount available that can be contributed to nonprofits. As a result, we believe customers are less inclined to embellish claims as they would be hurting a nonprofit they care about, rather than an insurance company they do not."

"The Maillard reaction is complex. So complex, in fact, that it's only in the last few years that scientists have begun to figure out what it actually is. While they still don't entirely understand it, they do know the basics"

Well, the Maillard reaction is actually well understood. There is also early and late Maillard reaction products and not all products are necessary good for you.

"The Maillard reaction is many small, simultaneous chemical reactions that occur when proteins and sugars in and on your food are transformed by heat, producing new flavors, aromas, and colors."

...when proteins and REDUCING sugars...
