Kamira works at 3 bars. It can make one or two espresso at the same time, but no more than that. The design is the opposite of a Bialetti's Moka, where the water is pouring into the coffee from the bottom. On a Kamira, the water is coming from the top, preserving the oils and the cream to being burnt.

It's also very quick, you can have your cup of coffee within a couple dozen of seconds. Not very hot in this case, but still very tasteful.
I feel the author's pain. I've been trying to organize all my notes for quite some time, and for now only Onenote seems to tick some of the boxes.

My requirements for notes, alongwith the issues I face in Onenote are:

- I should be able to organize them in some way. Sure, Onenote works okayish. I like the Notebook->Section->Pages structure. However, God forbid if I try to rename a notebook... I need to open Onedrive in my browser, rename from there, wait a day for the changes to sync (no I'm not joking, some notebooks I could only open the next day), open each of the 60 or so notebooks inside Onenote 2016 (NOT Onenote UWP since it couldn't find those new notebooks, or errored out trying to open them with old names), and then open those 60 notebooks again on my two desktops and a laptop. Was an awful experience and I almost quit Onenote.

- It has to be cross-platform. I do have an iPad but my main workstations are Windows and Ubuntu, and I take notes on all of these platforms, so that basically kills almost all the Apple-only apps, which is a shame since many of them seem good.

- It should either support handwriting recognition, or LaTeX in notes. The reason is I need to write down equations and/or diagrams quite often, so if I just type I'd need LaTeX, and if I jotted derivations using Apple Pencil, I should be able to bring those up later. For Onenote, this is a hit or miss. Apple pencil + Onenote works superb for jotting down, especially with the Paperlike screen protector, BUT the delay after which it becomes searchable is totally dependent on Microsoft's servers, since the server-side OCR needs to run on my notes and I have no control on the process...

Sometimes I just give up and use my trusty pencil and paper. But if I do that, I sometimes forget which notebook I had written some random derivation in September last year. Also, there's no way to search and to archive the data unless I manually scan or take photos, and even then the archival would be super clunky in the form of pictures...

All in all, this is a pretty half-assed solution I have right now. I wish there were atleast some app which was cross-platform and supported LaTeX, or some app which magically solved my problems outlined above...

> Vaccines for new families of viruses traditionally take years or decades to develop.

Traditionally many things used to take an awful lot longer than it does now (e.g. gene sequencing). Technology advances.

Also, this vaccine was based on an earlier one developed for MERS so they weren't starting from scratch.

> We still don't have vaccines for retroviruses like HIV/Herpes

That's completely irrelevant because they're very different viruses. Vaccination for a coronavirus should be a lot easier.

> But I do have concerns on trying to push out any novel vaccine in less than two years without adequate testing

It is undergoing extensive testing. Tens of thousands of people are currently being given the vaccine. The timeline is not really relevant; what counts is the testing that is carried out.

I'm sure the Oxford University team has given proper consideration to safety.
That's a good point, but I feel like there's still a long way to go before the model has enough data to actually output insightful content. Right now it seems to mostly output grammatically correct Lorem Ipsum.

> Every single cup of coffee requires a small, non-degradable, hard to recycle piece of plastic.

I'm not sure if you're just using "Nespresso" as shorthand for "pod-based coffee machine" but the unique thing about the Nespresso system is its use of aluminum (recyclable) pods.

Recycling rates may not be high enough, but that's a marketing/UX problem that can be addressed.
The Unforeseen Benefits of Online Events
This is actually a lot of what I use Twitter for. I follow some local people in the business community and local government officials to get news about what's going on here. I follow a few journalists I trust to get info about the world. And I follow some tech ppl to get cool tech stuff.
Several interesting points in that piece, but the one I was most struck by was the argument that reducing redundancy (“waste”) in emergency response services was demonstrably a bad idea when a crisis actually hits.
Really, I would have thought to successfully pull off a scam like this, you would need to wait at least another decade for the practitioners burned by MongoDB and the rest to retire or forget. Yet here we are in 2020, and it's suddenly 2009 all over again.

Hats off to the founders for netting $15MM in VC money for a "disruptive, innovative, game-changing" rehash of IBM's IMS from 1966.
Can you point me to anything? I'd love to learn more about that. I'm not sure how that would work when the outside air is absolutely hotter than desired. We still do things like airflow through attics, because that's above the ceiling insulation and the outside air often is cooler than attic air.
Those shitty little cups cost more than regular cheap-o coffee, generate more waste, many involve running incredibly hot water through cheap plastic (I’m sure that’s great for our health), and have a weaker flavor. There’s zero benefit to it.

Frankly, the cups deserve more hate. Companies sold people a clearly inferior product and people keep buying them despite them being objectively worse than any other common coffee brewing method.

Sure, there are plenty of bad things out there, like abandoned fishing nets trashing up the ocean and coal polluting our air. But you can’t get your mom to do anything about that. You can get her to buy a $5 coffee can and make something better than a disposable coffee pod.

This comes up a lot here. In short:

* Yes, software startups by solo founders are very much still viable.

* No, the age of apps/SaaS is not ending

* It is not oversaturated either. There are ALWAYS new ideas to build, new products in demand, and new ways to make money.

* It always seems like the low-hanging fruits have been "taken", because you've observed them being successful (it's a reductive argument). They probably weren't low-hanging when they were originally built - just in retrospect. Similarly, some of the app/SaaS ideas being built by solo founders right now may seem low-hanging in a few years.

The crispest example someone once gave me for why the world never actually runs out of things to build (easy or otherwise) was:

* New technical innovation A emerges (it can be anything - a new sensor on a phone, a new form factor, a new feature in software, a new API, etc.)

* Product B emerges that cleverly uses innovation A.

* Product C emerges that competes with Product B

* Service D emerges that helps compare Products B & C

Repeat ad infinitum...

Unless you believe we've reached the end of the first step (no new technical innovations!), then we haven't even come close to running out of things to build.
I love this so hard. Love the ability to adjust width as well. Great work!
Can we "pin" this to HN front page in perpetuity?

I'm joking but I'm also serious. It's (IMO) basic hygiene at this point.

The Internet used to be like Burning Man, today it's more like Bangkok.

Flipping it around what this really means is that taking any particular assertion made online seriously without some "certificate" (same root as "certain") as to who stands by it, is wildly, childishly, naive. (Including that one, and this one.)

The real question (as alluded to in TFA) is, "Whom do you trust?"
Why not make a Verilog extractor? Then we can simulate it with standard tools. I'm pretty sure Verilog can simulate NMOS since it has pullups.

Another option is to extract a Spice netlist.

Coffee, like many other things, has a lot of different connections to it than just its taste, and that's one of the best parts about it. When I visit home and I can get a cup of Tim Hortons, just walking in give me memories of high school and all the time I've spent inside one of them. Even the taste of 7/11 coffee brings back some memories of my time in Maine when I lived down the road from one.

I read some where once that, despite the quality of a cup of coffee, the thing that will make it the most memorable is the people you're with.

And they didn't have school on hot days. Source: My school had no air conditioning outside of the nurse's office until I was in high school. If the temperature was above 89, school was cancelled for the day.

I agree. There are so many variables whose interaction is influenced by each individual's unique immune expression, that we need to measure more of those variables for everyone to start identifying common patterns. I would hope that each vaccine volunteer has a minimum amount of testing (>= https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/07/15/scie...) before and after each vaccine dose. It would also be very beneficial to measure their HLA genetic SNPs (see GSK's MERS vaccine induced narcolepsy in 2009). Transparency and increased measurement of immune data will help improve and/or customize vaccines so that they are effective and safe.
Yes, the actual first two.
A lot of our schools (Florida) used to have huge windows that could be opened, breezeways to funnel the air, etc. Now schools are built like prisons. I get that it might be safer for the kids in some respect, but good grief.

And, yes, schools here also used to start later due to the heat.

This is just nuts, people know zilch about risk management. It is just a wealth transfer from people with zero knowledge to professional traders and brokers.

Paying of credit cards, maximising your tax return, investing in things you 100% understand, way easier ways to make money.

People still might get lucky and make epic money, but it is in the same zip code as driving drunk and not getting into a crash.

It sounds similar to the advice for a number of other disciplines I've seen in my family tree: classical musician and ministry. That is, you do it because you can't imagine doing _anything_ else because the dedication you need to succeed is so great it crushes almost anyone with less than fanatical devotion. But being a successful founder in tech has on average a _lot_ better rewards and social recognition overall than either of the other "tournament" style careers out there, so it's worth the downsides.

The attitude is essentially that of "Find What You Love and Let it Destroy You" quixotic work-centric nihilism that seems both understandable yet ridiculous. For folks that ascribe this worldview though, I do expect them to do fairly well in whatever they do... and to be miserable to be someone unfortunate enough to love them.
A reasonable portion of my K-12 education lacked AC. It's pretty difficult to focus on materials and learning when you're sweating or nearly sweating and about to fall asleep to help reduce your core body temperature.

It's not very conducive for learning. Take some cognitively demanding task you have to do or struggle with and then try doing it in sweltering heat. At least for me, my patience recedes very quickly and I'm far more concerned with my immediate discomfort than I am dancing through some abstract ideas, making it very difficult to focus.
Thank you, there are two things that are either a bug, or hard to figure out.

He specifically mentions world leaders. Also, tons of speculation in the article about things nobody is sure about yet and then extrapolating from there and proposing countermeasures that are off the scale. Security is important. But it wouldn't be the first time a communications service is hacked and assuming a nation state adversary you can consider every tech company in the world compromised to some degree by infiltrating employees into key positions. Those can play the long game and work at it for years to reach their destination.

I would consider anything you entrust to a keyboard or some internet or wireless medium to be in principle compromisable, an in practice most likely compromised in the sense that people that should not have access to that data probably do.

Totally! If you have data-test* attributes set up, we will use those first when generating selectors for each action. The full list of data-test attributes we use is listed here: https://reflect.run/docs/recording-tests/creating-resilient-.... If we don't find data-test* attributes we'll also look for other attributes that tend to have a good degree of specificity, like alt, rel, schema.org, and aria-* attributes.
Informative article! I'm not a coffee drinker, and I never even heard of Nespresso until the George Clooney ads started in the US (which according to the article was in 2015). I've been under the impression that Nespresso was an upscale rip-off of Keurig; didn't know it had been around since 1986!

Great article with the most tenuous tie-in ever. The authors were probably thinking, "Look at all this great science, and holy cow this is a global sensing device! ... oh wait we work for a corporation we better plug one of its services somehow."
Didn't people also say the same thing about AWS a while back when that had a downtime? I guess the internet has multiple "Single-Point-Of-Failure"s.
The advice to starting a negotiation with a favourable number as a conceptual anchor makes the mistake that a number should be at the beginning of a negotiation at all. The whole point of a negotiation is not to haggle down to a price, but to discover a "true" price based on seeking out principles. The point of negotiation isn't to simply raise the number like in the haggle, it's to influence their number to be the effect of your principles, so that the result is everyone feels they've got a good deal.

With practice, you can de-anchor discussions simply by re-framing their anchors using new principles.

e.g. Anchor: "Given your current salary is probably around $50k, we think you're way underpaid and we will offer you $52,500, which is a %5 raise just for switching jobs! You can thank me for getting you this incredible deal by signing right now."

Re-frame: "I really appreciate your initial effort on this. We can't disclose my current salary here because my employer treats it as competitive information and I'm still a member of this team so I can't really comment on that. Let's move the numbers discussion out a bit, and get a sense of the value I can provide in the role. However, looking at the glassdoor and city cost of living salary data for your company, the range you suggested is just below the average salary for other people in the role. I can solve one of your major problems with my unique experience out of the gate, which would take at least a quarter to six months in learning curve for your current team."

This simple re-framing is, destabilize the premise (their guess of your salary), add 2 new objective principles of a) competitive information, and b) glassdoor/city data source, then provide them with relief from the instability stress you created using a soft sweetener (offer of hidden value) without even coming back with a number. This is a simplified case, but you get the idea. So yes, anchoring, but now that you see the reframing to your principles (a new anchor), it's much less of an obstacle.

Seems there may be more to it than the article says.

"People are irrational. Example: You wouldn’t buy a new dress, or suit, that costs $100 (‘that’s far too much to spend!’) but you would buy one that was $300, but is now ‘reduced’ to $150 (‘but just look at how far down it’s come!’) Sound familiar? You’re not alone, it’s fairly well-known that humans are irrational (at least by those in advertising- some products in supermarkets are never meant to be bought- they’re just there to get you to buy other products more), but are other animals just as irrational?

Hummingbirds, starlings, and even bees have been shown to be irrational. But what about organisms even smaller than bees? A recent study1 found that even slime moulds (brain-less creatures, which live in damp places like mouldy leaves and logs) can be irrational."

We are using Reflect.run at Roboflow and it really is very slick. We have it testing our core flow on a schedule so we know if any of our 3rd party services or dependencies go down and/or if we introduce a regression.

Our app's core workflow involves signing in, uploading images and annotation files, parsing those files, using HTML5 canvas to render previews and thumbnails, uploading files to GCS, and kicking off several async functions and ajax requests.

That Reflect.run was able to handle all of those complex operations makes me pretty confident it can effectively test any web app.

My elementary schools were 1) L-shaped single story with classrooms ringing the exterior perimeter, 2) traditional 5 story brick with an atrium so both interior and exterior rooms got natural light. Middle school was single story again. High school was traditional 3 story brick. The only rooms without natural light were basement rooms (for band, theatre & ROTC) under the auditorium, which I think was 100% acceptable.

Also of note: HLS supports byte range addressing, so you can create the various stream files as single .ts files rather than a collection of segments per stream. A client can use the Range HTTP header to select the window of bytes it wants for the stream/bandwidth slot it wants. This mode is supported from something like iOS 5 and up, and ffmpeg has flags to produce such streams.
Sorry, maybe I am burned on that already, but that is what I often hear when people bring up misinformation. That is the feedback legislators often give on that topic.

Certainly a good idea to search for some background. I think the velocity of social media might encourage people to skip that step, made the mistake myself too. People want to be the first to share this "hot" news with their peers.

I think reducing expectations of users towards content on the net could help as educational measure. Treat it as false until you know better yourself.
To ignore people who are clearly below your level of intelligence is also a sort of intelligence test that the Universe hands to you. Don't fail it.
Good, but the real question is whether the immune system will "remember" the vaccine for long enough. From [1]:

> Although the magnitude of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses correlated with disease severity, there was a rapid decline in nAb titres in most patients within 3 months after onset of symptoms. [...] However, the consequences on secondary immune responses and their ability to prevent reinfection remain to be determined.
