>That makes no sense at all. A employee visits his home country on vacation, now information to return

Well technically it was announced in advance, so they could conceivably fly back and avoid the restrictions.

>causes problem for both the individual and the employer, especially if that person is in a critical role and now unable to do their job.

I imagine that's what the exemptions are for. Also, if your goal is to reduce the amount of foreign workers, I'd imagine that "shock" of someone leaving is going to be present regardless of how it's implemented.
This article reminds me that I don't really know what I want to do in the first place.

2 weeks ago people said there are not enough blacks in this industry, 2 months ago that there are not enough women, so if there are so many people from the US who should be in this industry and are not just because of racism and sexism maybe it will be good to have less immigrants from India who happen to be with a dark complexion and tend to have more women developers. This will leave a lot of place for local US women and people with dark complexion and the racist/sexists companies will have to hire them instead.
Sounds like your following an AIP diet.

Fantastic for dealing with inflammation.
> a sign indicating that too large vehicles must turn, which most drivers won't read/see in time

When the sign activates, it also causes the traffic light to turn red. In theory, that provides plenty of time to notice and respond to the sign; in practice, collisions still happen because people just run the red light.

If someone's sufficiently determined to do something stupid and reckless, there's only so much you can do to discourage them.

> instead of having some sort of 'bumpers' ahead of the bridge for those vehicles to bump into first

That's what the big yellow beam is; it was installed to protect the bridge. If something was installed farther away (i.e. before the intersection) it would get in the way of large vehicles that were intending to turn before the bridge.
Thanks. I have a hard time finding concrete examples from the book but I get the impression that it's partly due to the US judicial system (I'm not from the US). Would be nice to see the top felonies people unknowingly commit on a daily basis.

It's by the way really annoying that my question gets downvoted by zealous users who think I'm trying to make some kind of point when I was just genuinely interested. This site feels like a big aggressive battlefield nowadays, where everyone is just arguing and no-one is discussing like normal curious human beings.
1) you said you had to pay, that’s not true.

2) you said you needed source code and to compile, that’s not true.

3) you said you “can’t just go online and download an app”, which unless you’re being very pedantic, isn’t true. I even gave a popular example, iSH.

OP didn’t ask if alternative app stores existed with one click installers, they said you should be able to side load apps on iOS, which I’ve shown true via multiple methods. If you had “said exactly the same thing” I did, then you must have a different definition of the phrase “you cannot” which is the lead of your comment which I’ve shown to be factually incorrect.

A glance at you submission history[0] shows that you just submit and submit and submit and submit, the same articles repeatedly, and always just from your own site. I get that you want the exposure, but the site guidelines[1] say:

> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to submit your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

The FAQ[2] says:

> * Are reposts ok?*

> When a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we bury reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.

You appear to be in violation of both of those.

Personally, I find the articles themselves mildly interesting, but I find the constant re-submission of the same articles irritating. I see the newest submission and think "Have I seen this?" Then I visit, discover I have seen it, and it's just ... irritating.

You may want to re-consider your tactics.

I don't think we should continue perpetuating the idea you are required to work more compared to other jobs. If you are a founder, it's because you are motivated, I do not expect my people to work them selves to death like I do.

How I see this as a boss can depend on what you are doing. Certainly I would not appreciate competitive output. My personal take is usually to see a motivated self learner, and if they make that into something and want to go start a company like I did, fucking awesome! I hope that most of my employees do this at some point. Thing is, if you are all cool about it, the relationships grow and you can still work to make the world a better place together, with more people and resources.
As someone who digs inversion as a way to get started on things and avoid the big blockers: at least look up basics of how to avoid and recognize injuries while running. Injuries will stop you more firmly than analysis paralysis.

You'll mostly discover the right things by doing, but the wrong things can hold you back, and they're often well-documented. Example: guitar players who discover music theory by plucking and poking until things sound good, but mess up their hands with bad form.
Oh! That's interesting, I'm not sure I knew they existed. Mine is dual core and quite fast (for the time) but definitely 32-bit only.

Maybe I should look for a fancier one, if only to pick up the motherboard and CPU from. I imagine they're quite similar in terms of performance, but the extra compatibility would be nice.
Why not place an arch before the bridge that will impact but not damage vehicles going through? This exists in the entrance to most parking garages.

There are an incredible number of people on HN and in Silicon Valley who clearly believe that black people are on average genetically inferior to whites and Asians and also think they're being incredibly clever when they tap-dance around that core belief. Maybe now some of them will at least do the rest of us the courtesy of saying it outright.
I’m in the middle of listening to Scott Young’s book Ultralearning, and honestly this article captures the most important idea. 90% of becoming an “ultra learner” is having the courage to tackle the real thing immediately; the rest is just tactics.
This kind of writing makes me upset.

* It's really self-important. Not only is it selling you on a particular strategy for attaining success, it also tries to sell success in things like public speaking and doing architectural work as an absolutely important part of one's life, and that implicitly a person's existence is invalidated if they aren't constantly trying to achieve this kind of success. It doesn't do it explicitly but the very notion of "real" and "fake" and other words like "wasted" complete with the trite diagrams showing that "hey, all your efforts are going into this small circle" give a very strong implicit value-judgement of the reader.

* There's no proof. I don't know if I'm on the mark with this one, but I think that the act of omitting any sort of data about measuring the outcome of success when taking different approaches seems to imply to the reader that the argument should just "make sense" i.e. it's a truth that the reader already knows, they should just find it within their own observations in order to understand it. Here, have a handful of anecdotes to top it all off in case you weren't convinced. Overall this just feels like it's made to make the reader feel a certain way (motivated) rather than actually teach them any solid information.

* What even is real and fake? The readers are given a bunch of examples and then we're left on our own to figure out what falls into which category. Someone commented on the article saying that if someone wanted to watch and understand anime in Japanese, they could just do that and that'd be the real thing, with the fake thing being taking the time to learn Japanese. This is obviously not going to be successful, so at this point the author's prescription has failed as a framework for achieving success.

This kind of fiery motivational content could be harmful as much as it is useful. It'd be fine if an article, devoid of substance as it may be, was only meant to make readers feel motivated, but the problem is that this kind of fiery motivational content does different things for different readers. A person in a bad, self-loathing emotional state could be rendered feeling even worse, thinking that everything that they're doing at present is fake while everything that their peers are doing are more real, even when that's blatantly untrue. The devil's in the details and personally, I'm not going to let myself get affected by this personal philosophy if the case for it is this weak.

Where's the whataboutism in talking about how an executive order is going to affect people it is directly targeted against?

Are you saying they should not be taken into account? I can't tell what your actual argument is beyond trying to make your own feelings into some sort of rationalist argument. It seems you're trying to use 'realism' in place of an actual argument.
As I understand it (not a lawyer or law enforcement), 4A protections effectively only apply where either the search is of a space where the subject has a "reasonable expectation of privacy" or the police are actually handling the subject's property (e.g. attaching a GPS tracker to a vehicle).

Two Mental Models to Help You Make Better Decisions
Life span is a red herring. It's like listening to a smoker point out their grandma lived til 95 while smoking, so how bad could it be? She just couldn't walk up the stairs without gasping for breath her final 30 years.

There's a lot more to life than life span -- literally all of it. The curse of the human brain is that we easily rationalize and dismiss things like complex systems that don't have an obvious 1:1 daily payoff like exercise.

You know exercise is good yet since you don't personally perceive its day to day impact on you, then it must be useless. Even though it might improve your lifelong mood 10%, prevent that hypothetical cancer from metastasizing in 10 years, make you 10% less irritable, make your dick perform for 10 years longer than it's going to now, be the lynch pin in all sorts of beneficial branches that life can take even on molecular levels that you will never be able to truly perceive. This is basically the state of the art of our understanding of exercise -- it's the only panacea we know of.

Seems mighty convenient to convince yourself that something that's hard and requires willpower and that almost everyone fails at is in fact unnecessary after all. I would be a little more defensive against such obvious sweet self-deceptions.
I wasn't there, but this sounds more like cluelessness than anything else. I could imagine making small talk like this to keep someone's mind off of their pain or anxieties. Did it really seem like the gal or guy was hating on you?

Most people haven't heard of Betty White's Miracle at Carville.

It's the autobiography of a Southern debutante in Louisiana who contracted Hansen's disease. She is sent to a leper colony and spends the next 20 years there.

Copies of the book are quite expensive on Amazon but I was able to obtain it as an interlibrary loan.

The Internet Archive also has it available for lending.

Placing an obstacle between the bridge and the intersection would be fairly pointless, because once you hit it, it would be too late to stop before hitting the bridge.

(EDIT: in addition, a hanging warning sign would have to be suspended from something. My guess is any such structure would need to be made very sturdy and expensive, or else it would just get knocked down and increase the hazard to pedestrians and property when somebody hits the sign at significant speed.)

Placing the obstacle anywhere else would impede vehicles that aren't trying to go under the bridge.
> I'd 100% agree with this. But "your cholesterol sky rocketing a good sign" is not something the evidence currently shows.

"sky-rocketing" is a definite over-exaggeration here.

I would be curious to see what your response is to the link I posted in another comment here.

I am wondering how people that still reference these dated outlooks on cholesterol can explain why there is insufficient evidence of higher cardiovascular disease rates in those with high LDL in the presence of high HDL and low triglycerides, commonly called the "lipid triad"?

https://cholesterolcode.com/a-dialog-on-the-lipid-triad-with...

What the parent comment initially stated would lead me to believe that he falls into this lipid triad group and if I was in his shoes I would tell any doctor that recommended a statin to f* off if I had just started feeling the best I'd ever had in my life.

Also, can you send me some research for your points about statins having an increase in cognitive function? My understanding was that many were arguing the opposite and some meta-reviews I read on the topic suggested that more evidence was needed to make any clear observations.

Eh, Intel's 14nm is 37M transistors/mm2. TSMC and SS are both up to 52M/mm2 at 10nm, and 92M/mm2 at 7nm. Both Apple and AMD's latest gen stuff is on TSMC's 7nm process _today_. Yes, Intel's 10nm is at 101M/mm2, but until they can get mass production on that they're falling substantially behind.
I live in downtown Brooklyn and I’ve never seen any issues of this kind, like at all, even once. I think at least some of this has to do with the people in the area in question.
Hah. East Germans know exactly what this sort of thing will lead to: selective enforcement against those that the police wish to target anyway. Nothing like a bit of good old snitching to the authorities. Too bad if you're not lily white and walking around in a posh - or not so posh - neighborhood past what others think should be your curfew.

Of course, if you are witness to a serious crime you should report it. But if someone waters their lawn, sleeps in their car, or pees in their garden then that's their business and usually not yours so as long as you are not inconvenienced you should mind your own business lest one day the tables are turned and you forget to bring in your garbage container. And that's before we get into reporting people 'walking while black', those things might actually be against a law.

If you're breaking N laws per day think about what the effect would be if those were all enforced. Do not do unto others... And don't give racists even more tools for harassment.
I do remember it like GP. The G4 Powermac came out in '99, and while at 500mhz it could beat a 600mhz Pentium, Intel also released an 800mhz part that year. AMD would release a 1GHz K7 within the year as well.

So yeah, the G4 was perhaps winning the IPC battle, Intel and AMD were more than making up for it with higher frequencies.

You missed something, because it was more than 4 cars. Members of the community followed them in, then others approached them at a store and several hours later a larger group chased them out. Among the people involved are city councilmen, the mayor and his son, and several local business owners. Dozens of people were involved in person, and dozens more online. Armed people were mobilized in not only Forks, WA, but Olympia and Port Townsend based on rumors about the Hispanic family.

For example, when they were stopped at the store, the family is quoted as saying[1]:

> The family had shopped for camping supplies at Forks Outfitters and were confronted “by seven or eight carloads of people in the grocery store parking lot,” Anderson said they reported to deputies.

No one in the community is willing to come forward with the names of the guilty parties, however many of them were okay with spreading violent rumors about out-of-towners, both of which are levels of complicity in my book.

The GP said "false flag/intelligence operation" and the article itself is about details that suggest the Nova Scotia shooter was intelligence operative (but no false flag here).

So it's reasonable to say that what we're talking about is the broad world of intelligence agencies keeping their hands in everything, so what might seem like an action of a cartel or other gang (Hell's Angels in the case of the Nova Scotia shooter) may well have received aid from actual state agencies.
That’s not figma’s fault, that’s a team communication and workflow issue. We have that at work too and the solution is to communicate. Have a big red box with text saying the modal is not ready, or simply don’t have a modal until it’s ready. Better stick, create placeholder components and use those. Replace when ready.
I play a lot of hearthstone, and I’m quite good at it, but to remain good at it, I absolutely do have to spent a fair bit of time watching streamers and reading strategy articles. There’s a lot to know about the game and you absolutely cannot get everything you need to be a top player from only playing. Even the top professional players spend a lot of time in coaching sessions with their peers or just watching streams.
Flipping that around, if a company can hire someone for less in a foreign country and get the same result, why bother going through the H1B process? Why the drama? Just do it.
That's actually an excellent idea and fairly easy to put into practice. Most of those processes don't scale at all and rely on self pre-selection and evaluation. The fact that NINJA applicants ever stood a chance was a good indication that something was terribly wrong.
What is so special about this bridge? Why do people drive under it without checking their height? You wouldn't normally think you can just drive under any bridge, would you?

It doesn't even look like a very low bridge. Why do people approach it without a care in the world at full speed?

My vehicle is only 2m tall and I still do take a quick look at height signs as I approach them.
> Do you feel like they really are promoting the most inflammatory posts for the purpose of increasing engagement?

I don't think it's necessarily intentional, but posts which foster fear (like "I saw a scary black person walking down the street") will naturally invite more engagement from users, and the site may respond to that by promoting those posts over less controversial content (like "my cat is missing").
>Which goes to show that leftist organizations get their way because they are bullies.

But he was accused of being racist, due to his association with someone else, and this is why he was forced to resign.

I think you're saying the following:

Even though you do not necessarily consider him guilty of racism by association with Molyneux, the fact that some people consider him guilty of racism by association is enough for him to have committed an act worthy of public shame.

If that's true, then call it guilt through association, but to my mind it's a distinction without a practical difference.
