European here. I usually stay away from people who smile with their face but not their eyes; that's a sign they're not sincere.
I mean not the half smile put there just to avoid a neutral expression, but a smile that attempts to appear warm and deep while it's not. Especially at work, the more the people I met who were good at it, the more I did my best not to have to deal with them, because to be good at it they must have trained it, which to me spoke volumes about the person.
"breathtaking case design"? Is your reply a joke? What do you do with this powerful machine that you feel limited by 2GB per thread? What's stopping you from using Epyc if you need the ram?
How long would it really take you to get back, say, 5 hours of building a computer, in cpu time savings from having a TR pro over regular TR? Maybe if you do video editing or a lot of compilation it would only take a month.
> better to lift the worse-off up than pull the better-off down.

Given a fixed amount of resources, this isn't a choice but a matter of fact. You cannot do one without causing the other. This then becomes deciding what the lowest level you're comfortable having your fellow countryperson living at with the requisite cost to those with the means.
airbnb makes a lot more sense for long term stays. I'm a nomad and hop between cities and countries so I book for a minimum of two weeks with a norm of one to two months.

The one time Cleaning fee is minimal compared to the total cost and I would not be able to afford my lifestyle if hotels were my only option.

As a programmer I would really like to have more choices of 3:2 or even 4:3 aspect ratio laptops (because of the added vertical space, which is really much more valuable when working mostly with text on fairly small displays). For 3:2 I'm only aware of the MS Surface and Huaewei MateBook laptops, and Thinkpads were probably the last 4:3 laptops(?).

Ask HN: How to take notes?
What are the effective ways of taking Notes?

I am learning programming (/languages) , new things and I think that I should take notes so that i can quickly revise/remember things if i forget.

Are cheatsheets helpful? How should i do it? Any suggestions?
I doesn't. It's just an example to illustrate that doing the wrong thing is still wrong even when covered by some law loophole.
That's helpful to know. I've always thought they were really ugly but I can't put my finger on why. I wonder why the tenements of Amsterdam aren't as practical. I guess they miss out on big balconies....

Very indepth book
Not only does one actually meet one's host much rarely these days compared to AirBnB's early years, but the cases where one indeed interacts with the host are often pretty tiresome, think lonely elderly people who just keep talking after you have tried to make it clear that you are tired and want to be alone. Sadly, this doesn't get mentioned much in reviews for fear of upsetting the host or the forced-positivity corporation that is AirBnB, so it is very hard to avoid these awkward encounters completely.
A web site on your phone with Site.js
In my country the city is playing catchup on policy level.

Currently you can only allow 30 days of AirBnB for a property.

Over here the demand for AirBnB is pretty much non existant now, though. The Coronavirus lockdown has put an end to all travel and tourism for now. Many properties are now returning to normal, long term rental units.

That's the deal Ireland made as a country. Favourable IP laws and low taxes for jobs.

I personally find it ethically wrong, but I have benefited from it my entire life.

It's also worth noting that this deal was originally done in 1991, when Apple were not as big as they are now.

The deal was renewed in 2007, pre iPhone. The renewal was the real mistake, to be honest.
>a two syllable pseudonym will materialize

Hmm, which sounds better?

"Let's chat on the 'ment"

"Let's chat on Ele"

I'm trying to guess which will get used. I'm thinking the second one.

Or maybe just drop the 'e' and say "Let's talk on el'ment"?

That might confuse some Europeans though, maybe just "e'ment" is better.
BTW "diversity" is code for quotas. For example, Harvard in the early 20th century justified Jewish quotas because Jews academically were outperforming the existing WASPs as a population and thus overrepresented for the overall population.

When SATs were introduced which serves as a means for objective academic testing, Jews became about 1/4 of the Harvard student body well overrepresented compared with the proportion of the population which at the time was 2-3%.

Now it is happening to Asians where there are quotas compared with academic achievement, particularly in Asian males.

Many universities such as Harvard and Princeton are doing away with SATs for the current year ("because of the pandemic")which will allow them to reintroduce or maintain quotas. I fear that they will keep with the practice.

Show HN: Oldschool PC Font Pack v2 – now with 200 fonts, new variants, web index
I can't count the number of times I clicked on a dead comment's user profile only to see a shocking number of dead comments, sometimes going back months (years, even?). Out of some morbid curiosity, I suppose, I'd just keep clicking on 'more' and regularly the number of comments would be in the hundreds.

One the one hand, this approach seems very effective, but I can't help but feel pity for this person and even some sense of cruelty if I were to implement such a feature myself (although I probably would).

Of course, I'm also the person in real life who will eventually 'engage' with that "one person" in a group who everyone has been tuning out for a while. I don't get the impression doing so matters to said person, because clearly they're oblivious, but at least it makes me feel better or less guilty.
Out of both, which do you think is better in explaining things concisely?
Toshiba, Mercedes, IBM, Microsoft, ycombinator, and my humble employer is Twilio. That is 10 seconds of names off the top of my head. I guess Mercedes is often shortened to Benz.
Hello HN!

This project has been featured here in the past, and perhaps the new version would also be of interest.

The goal of the collection is still the same: taking classic hardware/system charsets from pre-GUI IBM PCs and compatibles, and providing accurate conversions to current font formats. (The scope has expanded a little bit, so that early "not-quite-compatible" platforms are also fair game.)

v2.0 adds:

- 133 new fonts (from 52 different sources)

- A new TrueType variant with embedded bitmaps (where supported, this bypasses anti-aliasing and ensures sharp rendering)

- Another new TrueType variant which provides aspect correction (to reproduce the non-square pixel ratios of the original resolutions)

- Web font (.woff) conversions

- A full font index on the website, including information on the original hardware and how the charsets were used (for appropriate historical context)

- A preview page for each individual font, which lets you play around with sizes, aspect ratios and sample text

The linked blog post has more details, but you can also browse the collection directly at http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts. There's also a showcase section, with links to projects that employ these fonts in useful and creative ways.

Comments welcome. Enjoy!
Taxing the little man vs the big man is not Apple’s decision. Talk to your senator about that.
This is well understood by now. The issue is that most people aren't actually going to track their calories- they eat when they're hungry. If you adjust your diet- you can satiate your appetite on a lower number of calories.

The idea is that meats, vegetables, and fats help you meet your nutritional goals on a fewer amount of calories when compared to carbs- because carbs are empty calories.
thank you for the clarification, I really thought it was normal business practice (which it can be), but this sounds much more like a scam

That sounds like an unethical control test and would therefore not be considered.
This is possibly self fulfilling: journalists or others pay more attention to Twitter than they “should”, which gives Twitter a disproportionate degree of influence, in turn justifying why they pay attention to it
They even admit in the article it's less efficient than desalinization, which is itself hard to make efficient.
Sorry, you missed the point of my comment. I was addressing the original commenter's dislike of the specific name Element because of its generic nature.
From the article:

> Overall, 67 (48.2%) clients volunteered to be tested, and 72 (51.8%) refused

Why would anyone refuse a Sars-CoV-2 test after being exposed like that?
You can get effective appliances by renting more expensive units too. That was one of the requirements when my SO and I were looking for a new place. Big sink, nice appliances, etc. We're paying about double what we were at our old apartment, but the convenience is well worth it while we're still focusing on paying off school debt but we also want somewhere nice to live.

Especially in the age of COVID-19 in the US, I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a super cheap crappy apartment like we were before.

Bonus, we also spend a lot less on electricity! We moved into a new-ish apartment building and I can keep the AC on 70 in Texas and my bill is less than $40/mo. In my old apartment, I would keep it at 76 during the day and only move it to 72 right before bed to save money. Bills were regularly $100+. Modern construction has so much energy savings built in to code now that you could potentially save money by moving to a more expensive apartment in a new building.

> all countries have a veto on such matters I believe

In most cases, a veto can't happen unless the following conditions are met:

1) Less than 55% of total Member States (less than 15) voting

AND

2) The voting Member States represent less than 65% of the total EU population

AND (assuming at least one of the conditions above aren't met)

3) At least four countries vote to block the measure

OR (if not all countries are voting)

4) The minimum number of countries that represent more than 35% of the total EU population, plus one country, vote to block the measure.

This prevents e.g. 3 big countries from blocking the others.

Achieve weight loss - yes, achieve the same weight loss - no. If you primarily want to lose fat rather than muscle, your insulin metabolism becomes an important variable.

This is true for every diet. If you get gain weight on your current lifestyle, start dieting and go back after you lost it, you'll gain that weight back.

There's no magic pill, if your current lifestyle makes you fat, you need a lifestyle change.

Cancel culture is one of those things that is so nasty, so obviously unproductive, that it makes me sick to see how broken our culture has become. I mean, I was sure that society had definitely concluded that mob justice was a bad thing. Discovering that I was wrong was difficult.

Regardless of the virtue of off-color jokes, thousand-year-old religious viewpoints, and fear-based worldviews, we must admit that we've lost sight of the goal. To quote an Aaron Sorkin 'Republican': "If liberals are so fuckin' smart, how come they lose so godddamn always?"

You can just imagine being a young employee fresh from college, or a blue-collar dude just working on a show, when bam! suddenly you're out of a job because of a tweet you had nothing to do with. The alt-right is waiting there with open arms. Why does nobody see how that works? It's like a college fair where one group of tables is telling you how much you suck and the others are high-fiving you for what you've already done. Guess who gets the candidates?

Twitter is poison.
As I understand it, asymptomatic carriers can still be tested and found positive just fine. It’s not the symptoms developing that lets you get a positive result, it’s the virus being found in the samples.
because you are only covid-positive if you test positive? /s
I don't think the CDC is looking at this as some sort of controlled test requiring scientific vigor with peer reviewed results.

Instead I think the CDC is trying to understand why US COVID-19 cases are growing at 70 thousand cases a day and trying to find ways to slow that growth.

Because without some sensible control measures that daily number is going to continue to grow and the final number will be end up being much larger than it is today.
Great observation. A lot of messaging for cloud products is comparing against legacy or dominant solutions. A beginner doesn’t have that reference point.
You've also got to look at how doctors are being incentivized. Medicine funnels more money into the medical system- and kickbacks or 'rewards' programs from pharmaceutical companies are common.

Outside of that- people like their doctors to do things. Everybody knows that they could use a better diet and more exercise- a doctor who says that and nothing else may not make people feel like they're getting their money's worth.
I live in Athens, Greece, work for a company that calls itself a startup (but has been around for a decade) and I make ~35k a year.

My general sentiment is that locally that's more than what most startups are paying, but at the same time most startups aren't hiring mid-senior people.

As far as regular tech companies go, it's a good but not great salary.
I work near a grocery store and quite a few people by a salad or a small snack for lunch. Some also quickly go and some small things that have run out, i.e. some milk, before heading home.

This might also be a currency difference, through; 5 Euro in Germany can get you quite far (at least outside of metropolitan areas).
No no, it was not about selling things, it was about creating a marketplace.
PCR tests work before symptoms develop.
Seems from this thread that they don't seem to work for everyone. But a friend of mine is Red/Green colour blind and recently got a pair.

We went for a walk in the countryside and he was still (a couple of weeks later) excitedly pointing out how many different colours were in the field.

It wasn't quite the viral marketting thing, but I was surprised and impressed by how much difference they seemed to make to him. I guess it's quite person specific though.
The site is comical on mobile, you have to scroll past the styled edge of the page several screens to read the whole title lol.

false negatives are more likely than false positives, which is one of the reasons people get tested multiple times if they have been exposed like the people mentioned in the article
Why scientists are wrong:

If you have fertality rate of 2.0 you will have children and grandchildren.
For example having children in 25 and then grandchildren in 50 and then grandgrandchildren in 75.

So basically if fertality rate is 2.0 you will have 2^3 = 16 more ppl on same time on earth.

To make no more people on earth you would need to have childs and get out of earth.

So please make planet healthy, be child free. Enough is enough.
There's probably lots of things in their properties that aren't nailed down.
Zoom is excellent in that regard. They're doing an amazing job at accessibility. There's so much hate towards them, but, if accessibility is concerned, there's no better option. Google Meet is not that bad either. Haven't had much experience with MS Teams, but sorta kinda usable is what people are saying. Skype works pretty great. Discord is... kind of okay on pc, horrible on iOS, though that's improving very quickly.
By “progressive behavior” I meant “how progressives have been behaving”. Cancelling and defending cancellation. As far as I’m aware, there is no significant number of progressives who have condemned this behavior, although I could be mistaken or perhaps you would define “progressives” differently such that it largely excludes those who cancel and approve of cancellation (I have no interest in these semantic debates). You may not be interested in cancel culture, but I am—it chills speech, hinders the very debate we need to move forward on many issues, and sets a precedent that conservatives could use if they decided to be so illiberal.
That's not a deep fake, that's just a regular fake

I would presume just abortions once the gender is known. Is that unethical or murder? Gut instinct says it's bad but reconciling it with pro choice views is tricky. Regardless of the individual ethics, its likely terrible for society.
I wonder if AirBnB knows how delusional they are about their own product?

They originally pitched it on a social message – stay with other people who enjoy travelling like you, sometimes you'll rent a room from someone, other times you'll rent out your room. Everyone cares about making this a great community.

However this is far from what they've become – most rooms/properties are full-time AirBnB rooms, many managed by management companies trying to skim as much profit as they can, and rented out by professional short-term landlords who clearly don't care about the community.

In the former product, I can imagine having a connection to some hosts, I can imagine emailing them to see if I could book a floating credit for some nights next year or tipping a fair bit more on a booking.

But that's not AirBnB. I've not stayed in a single place like that. Surely AirBnB must know what their product actually is? Does that mean this communication is just gaslighting customers into thinking they're something different?
Well, I provided some evidence for the FT. Do you think a newspaper that literally flies the flag of a foreign government over its offices is going to be critical of that government?

I'm not sure how you'd prove this rigorously though. Just look at other comments in this thread. One commenter observes he never saw a pro-Brexit op-ed in the FT, ever. They're always anti.
The US experienced massive growth in the 50s and 60s while having very high tax rates. The US, until recently had a higher corporate tax rate than many European country - the latest US tax cuts brought it down to the same 21% that my native Denmark has. I'm sorry, but this 'deregulation and low taxes will fix everything' myth has been so thoroughly debunked by now that I'm sad to see it rearing its ugly head in an otherwise thoughtful and fact-based forum like HN. What is it with this obsessive focus on supply-side economics, and complete disregard for the demand side? If the middle class has no money to spend, it doesn't matter how cheap the goods are to produce.

And China, if anyone, has shown how protectionism, and making sure outside companies can only reach your internal market if they play by your rules, and favoring national companies over international ones, is a winning strategy in the 21st century.
I think this is more of an observation than a strict study. Similar to this (preprint, not peer reviewed) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.22.20137745v...

However, the other argument is would be that a universal face covering policy has essentially zero negative other than "it's annoying". (Except for a very small percentage of people who actually have a real medical reason). So if we find out later that masks have no effect, we didn't exactly lose much.
The test is very invasive and uncomfortable. I can see why someone with no symptoms, especially if they're not at risk of transferring it to others, would refuse it.
Well, Haskell uses just a space.
Interesting, I missed that. I will look into it more closely, thanks.
Hotels do this all the time. Resort fees. Taxes. Surcharges. Amenities.

Only airlines publish full fares and that’s because of a federal law. I remember back in the day when it wasn’t the case and you had to click through to the final pricing page to do any serious fare comparison.
Just realized that I meant you need only username/password. To reiterate, email is not needed at all.
