Banks can’t base mortgage on possibility of dying: https://www.55places.com/blog/60-year-old-can-get-30-year-mo...

Even barring the legal requirement, banks already prices mortgages such that they can handle being stuck holding the title with no payment. Down payments or government guarantees prevent them from holding the bag unless the housing market takes a big downturn.
I've been drinking decaf for years. It's hard to get a good tasting decaf blend, but if you don't drink much caffeine decaf will wake you up, you can drink more cups a day (if that's your thing) and it's healthier.

Frankly, I'm surprised decaf is not more popular. It is possible to make decaf taste so good you'd never know it's decaf.
I did it a couple months ago. I've been drinking 3 - 5 cups a day(sometimes more) for years. I just slowly went from drinking it throughout the whole day eliminating cups until I had 1 cup in the morning. This was over 2 weeks. Then I slowly reduced that 1 cup until nothing. Then I switched to a single cup of green tea in the morning just for the ritual.

The lack of caffeine hasn't really had any effect on my psoriasis or stress levels, so maybe it was all for nothing.
EDIT: I didn't notice that this topic was about the DDG browser (which I didn't know existed) and responded assuming this was about the site/extension. For a browser, yes, a client-side solution is possible and probably preferable. Please check and upvote other comment trees.

This makes sense to me and is not alarming. Getting favicons actually is difficult to do robustly; many applications and websites use Google's service to do so, which then leaks the request to Google: https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=ycombinator.com

Putting this logic in the client is not feasible. You want to send requests directly to every shady site that shows up in your search results, load their pages in the background, work through network delays and HTTP errors, and parse out the location/format of the favicon files?

DuckDuckGo hosting this functionality themselves is also a positive. They have previously been burned when the Web of Trust service they were originally using was found to be farming data, and turned it off immediately once discovered. Processing, hosting, and serving the icon themselves prevents that from happening again.

This is not to say that DDG is perfect: links you click do seem to be redirected through a /l/ page on their domain, which can cause problems: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/duckduckgo.html

For me, this triggered careful introspection about whether I really derived pleasure from the things I claimed to like, or whether those claims were really just signaling about the person I would like to be, rather than who I actually am.

This resonates with me. But I think sometimes these aspirational affectations, once identified, are better preserved. If there’s any chance that they may one day ring true, they can serve as a worthwhile reminder of what one is striving toward.

> Bikes are not a viable commuting option in most of America

Yea - this was the main point bud. You ever ride your bike 10 miles to get to work in the dead of winter in Iowa or Minnesota?

Like I'm glad you were able to rig a basket and all for your bike but acting like your story is relevant for people who are in actual financial hardships is disingenuous and weird. You're pissing people off who actually struggled... like didn't have food sorta struggle. Stop.
this is the important realization from this time. This whole thing is made up - we can organize society around a model that isn't based on forcing people to work a (many times useless) job in order to eat food and sleep somewhere.
I've generally quit caffeine a few times in my life, it was always the right thing to do.

In my older age, I'm able to moderate a lot better, I really couldn't just drink a single soda or green tea, but now I'm a lot more comfortable drinking caffeine in the morning, then switching to something else the rest of the day.

When I first stopped, I had been also drinking sugary soda - so I switched to diet soda as a crutch, it definitely helped me make the transition.
I feel like it's because an IPA is difficult to mess up. As an amateur brewer, the IPAs always seemed to taste 'fine' whereas my amateur skills/setup were never able to produce a decent lager or wheat, nevermind even more complex styles.

That's why I usually try the non-IPAs whenever I try a new brewery; I am also usually disappointed...
Sorry, what is the context here?

This is such an insightful comment. I worked as a reporter for a little outside-of-Philly paper in the 2000s and it was the extreme taboo to report on something you couldn't independently verify. Even then pay was bad and younger folks were bailing ship. Now newsrooms are so gutted that there is no staff left to do this kind of reporting.
It is matter of availability and price for any customer , particularly a desperate one ( organized crime groups in war affected regions ?)

FAA and certifications have improved safety a lot , most people however would still get on a unmodified 737 MAX if it was cheapest/only option available .
IANAL also, but how would it play out in practice? Provisions in law are different to what can happen in practice. Perhaps enough damage has to be proven in order for remedy to be handed down?

And is it criminal violation, or just civil? And if civil, if the violation happens overseas, not much can be done in practice, right? I don't know much about American IP law.

My COVID coffee experience was the opposite- I have been drinking half a pot every morning since mid-March. Last night I had the thought that I should go cold turkey, and this blog post might be the last little push I needed to do it.

Even in your best attempt to try and rationalize living off of poverty-level wages, your argument only makes things look worse.

> Silver plans are eligible for Cost Sharing Reduction (reducing deductibles to $500-1,000), and pay for doctor’s visits before deductibles kick in. And preventative care has no co-pay and no deductible.

Note that this is ignoring one massive part of healthcare: Dental care. As someone that lived in deep poverty I had to deal with teeth quite literally rotting out of my head because there were no options for me to get care and the insurance that I had didn't cover it. That's easily upwards of a few grand to fix a few teeth which no one can afford on those wages.

> How much do you think gas costs in Iowa? The median rural/town commuter travels about 1,150 miles per month. A 2000 Honda Civic gets 27 mpg. At $2/gallon for around 40 gallons a month, that’s under half your estimate.

Gas costed around ~3 dollars a gallon where I lived and our old car got around 20mpg. That alone creeps up to around $200 for gas and we couldn't afford to get a more efficient car for obvious reasons. The only reason why gas is cheaper now is because of the crash, it was not the norm at all for most people.

> You are out of touch if you think $250 per month is a “rice and beans” food budget for a single person: https://mymoneywizard.com/how-i-spend-less-than-35-a-week-on.... ($67 per week for two people). A weekly trip to Aldi for my family of five clocks in at about $100, and we don’t even try to save money.

You seem to be the one out of touch here considering what the USDA has said. Note that in your money wizard example the prices were incredibly off compared to where I live where things were easily 1.3-1.5x the price at the nearest grocery store. For example, 3lbs pound of chicken breast was easily around $2.80 compared to their example which is around $1.90. It also assumes people actually have time to cook and plan out their meals.

> In central Illinois, you can have a sit-down meal for $10, less if ethnic food. Coffee is a buck. The Y near my house is $40/month for a very nice place with heated indoor pool, and making minimum wage you qualify for financial aid. The county one, which is also nice, is $25/month. Netflix is $13/month. A Verizon MVNO is $35/month. In Iowa City, you can get $1-2 well drinks four days a week

At the very least we can reduce that remaining $350 by another $100 once we factor in internet and phone bills, both of which are required in today's environment.

So let's say you have around $250 left total. That's $250 for emergencies, for feeding your pets, for paying off dental bills, for putting towards loans, for dealing with everything else life has to throw at you.

And people wonder why your average American can't save money or put any of it towards stocks?

Check out Dropcatch.com, Namejet and GoDaddy Auctions. You can get a decent 4L com for under $1000 if you're patient. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but generally speaking you're going to get a much, much better name by spending $100-1000 at auction then by handregging. There are bots and people trawling through pending delete lists catching anything good before it becomes available.

Five whole years?!?

If it hadn't been for COVID-19, which was a logistically unbelievably stressful time, I would've probably purchased a coffee maker. (There was a coffee machine in my building that I used frequently, but the building made it inaccessible due to perceived COVID contamination risks.) But dealing with tons of COVID fallout, that just didn't make it to the top of my priority list.

I use the word "addict" loosely -- I'm not sure how much real chemical dependency there was, I didn't have much in the way of withdrawal symptoms. I have anecdotally observed that people have radically different biological responses to and dependencies on caffeine. I think my "addiction" was mostly cultural.

I see people bring this up all the time for Seattle. However... I've literally lived in the radius of the oft-demonized stretch of 3rd and Pike/Pine for the past 2-3 years.

I can assure you that while it's bad, they generally don't bother people and simply need a system that actually helps them. More police won't solve anything here - I'm confident in this statement as they sit outside my window daily and do absolutely nothing as it is.
I'm surprised they bothered providing that option for such a small benefit. Was there some specific enemy fighter model that this allowed them to outfly?
Cooltrax | Senior & Principal IoT Engineers | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA | ONSITE with WFH | Full-Time | https://cooltrax.com

We’re an industrial IoT company that builds our own hardware and writes software to monitor temperatures, control fridges, and track trailers as they transport goods across the country. We operate in Australia and the United States and have a distributed engineering team with the home base in Melbourne.

We’ve been running our IoT platform for over 15 years and now see an opportunity for a major revolution in our hardware. We’re developing a new hardware platform running Linux and using this momentum to rethink our IoT backend and database structure. The lead role here will own the firmware and software architecture of this platform, and work closely with the rest of the Engineering team to integrate it all. It's a big ask, but a great opportunity to make an impact and join a growing company in the driver's seat for a key project.

Our technology stack includes Typescript, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Node.js, and Azure. For this project we're inclined to write the platform software in Python or Typescript but ultimately - you will make that decision!

If you’re the type of person we’re looking for, you’ll be nodding along to most of these points:

* You have likely worked in a consulting product development role or as a senior
or lead engineer on a commercially released mechatronic device
* You can read a PCB and datasheets and are fluent in a variety of protocols
including Bluetooth (bonus points if you’ve implemented a v5.1 BLE stack!)
* You know how to write an SRS and detailed design, and then validate a product
against it
* You’ve written firmware and device drivers in the past and are comfortable
reviewing and integrating other people’s work in this area
* You are used to with working with suppliers and development partners
* You can demonstrate your ability to translate technical concepts into the
language needed to work effectively with different types of people
* You can point to a complex mechatronic system you have designed and can
explain the code that controls it, its architecture, and intent

Interested? Email me your resume, GitHub profile, or anything you'd like to showcase to tom.allen@[this-company].com and use the text "HN-July-2020" as the subject. You can find the full job description below. We're looking for 10+ years experience for the Principal role, and 5+ for the Senior - apologies but we aren't able to support Junior engineers at this time. We aim to offer salaries in the 2nd quartile of Melbourne market rates.

Principal Engineer: https://tinyurl.com/ct-pe-jul-2020

I'm the Head of Engineering and these roles will report to me. Happy to answer any questions!
There's something about your use of "correctly" here that seems hostile, arrogant and antagonistic. This isn't a quiz, nobody was even talking about movies or DVDs, and I certainly wasn't seeking "FeepingCreature"'s validation.

BRIO | Remote-OK | Dir. or VP of Engineering

BRIO helps employers access Covid-19 testing to squash outbreaks before they claim lives and livelihoods. Pre-pandemic, we helped employers track chronic health issues via regular outpatient blood testing. Post-pandemic, we have a concrete plan to return to our prior work (TL;DR pre-pandemic work supports current work which supports post-pandemic work).

Team context:
- Python 3, Flask, PostgreSQL, and Redis, running on AWS. Server-rendered HTML via Jinja, with Javascript and PostCSS.

- Currently 3 Sr. level engineers. Since it does not look like this problem is going away anytime soon, we’re building out the foundation for a permanent team

- In pure transparency, and by prior agreement, several of the current team members are not planning to stay long term

Key metrics:
- >20 companies served including many in the food supply chain, and multiple outbreaks quashed. ~60% month-on-month growth

- We are in a position to make real contributions to the worlds understanding of how the disease spreads (e.g. partnering with researchers at Johns Hopkins)

I didn't expect this kind of comment here, but I really appreciate that you left it.

I also was hit pretty hard by reading this article. There are a lot of very detailed pictures, and a lot of dead elephants, it's really tragic.

> and it's healthier

I think there is no evidence whatsover that coffee is in any way bad for you. In fact, some studies point to slight benefits in lifelong coffee drinkers.
In hind sight this is how I should have done in. But I was morbidly curious to see how bad the cold turkey would be.

It was quite a while a go now, I might think about doing it again. But do it without the masochistic torture I put myself through last time.

'psoriasis or stress levels' - is there a link to psoriasis and coffee?
It is regressive when you consider the position of the buyer. People need to buy large items, and low income people are disproportionately hurt by taxes on those items.
> no complex turbomachinery.

The turbomachinery is by far more simpler than high performance piston engines.

A car engine of 200kw only needs to give peak power for a few seconds of acceleration, and can be electronically safeguarded from outside of envelope operation.

An avia engine of 200kw needs to be able to operate on its full rated power continuously, for longer continuous periods of operation, be many times as reliable as a car engine, be lighter than a car engine, be engineered to accommodate, and survive failures, and be engineered free of governor mechanisms of any kind that may fail on take off (engine governor having to deliver demanded performance even if it has to waste the engine)

You should really go see a doctor. That sounds like you have at the very least hypertension and maybe even something worse. Don't wait until it's too late to find out.

That's a lot of caffeine - at or beyond the typically recommended daily maximum of 400mg.
Enriched uranium is hard to acquire but it's not hard to make if you have a source of thermal neutrons. You can get thermal neutrons in a number of ways. I'm not going to get into the details, but establishing criticality is not easy, but it's not hard either, at least if you're not concerned with safety.

I used to experience late day crashes and headaches quite frequently, and also chalked that up to excessive coffee intake. However, as someone who also spent little time in the kitchen (thinking I didn't have time for it), it turned out to be my haphazard style of intermittent fasting that was giving me the headaches. Now I spend no more than an hour or so each night making food with leftovers for lunch the following day, and my life has improved phenomenally. YMMV but I still drink plenty of coffee.
The whole story is just amazing. I find it sad that our system of justice doesn't have a way to force the disgorgement of gains made from, seriously, enslaving teenage migrants. It's like sure we got our seed capital from sex slavery but the rest of these gains are totally above board. Makes no sense.

Part of the fascination for me is that the Reddy headquarters is this absurdly tacky mansion[1] in Kings County, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded (at arm's length) by abject poverty. Supposedly a branch of the family is the most successful vascular surgeon in Hanford (this makes ~zero economic sense) but the giveaway is that according to public records all of the Raj tax bills are mailed here. So it's really the seat of their weird real estate empire.

Health issues will affect your ability to concentrate and focus anyway. Babies grow up eventually. The trick is to not accept sleepingg for three or four hours each night as normal.
Right. If the tongue doesn't "snap" into position, but just mushes, the socket needs cleaning. You'll be amazed at the difference.

You can try with one of those dental picks that looks like a tiny pine tree. But, the last time I cleaned mine I needed a metal pick and a magnifying glass. That stuff really gets compacted. Be careful of the internal pins!
> Applying this same method to other content (blog posts/pages and video posts) would, presumably, also work.

I believe reddit started recently doing something like this for text and as a result has made google searching for reddit posts essentially useless.

Basically when you view any post/thread while logged out there are a bunch of other threads shown on the page that have related text, with all the text of their posts included collapsed in the HTML.

The result is that when you search for the context of any reddit post you get hundreds of results which on vaguely similar topics which don't contain the post that you're looking for (unless you log out and count hidden text collapsed under other threads).
Reminded me of those stories of war people taking drugs because the environment triggered the desire in them.

If being outside was the trigger, staying inside would make it easy to quit. On the other hand, going outside again would trigger again the addiction, so it never went away in the first place.
