> It would be easier to add small quantities of industrially produced bromoform to cattle feed than to cultivate enough seaweed to get the same effects.

If I recall correctly there are two issues with that
a) bromoform itself is a GHG, you don't want to create more of it that gets released into the environment and use natural sources instead
b) the researchers tried this and at least simple additives didn't have the same effect, perhaps it has something to do with how it gets released during digestion
Interesting monetization strategy of integrating payments into the flow.
Last commit almost 4 years ago. Looks abandoned.
"You are under the impression that companies love throwing money at executives, but just like regular employees, companies only pay the minimum they NEED to pay them to keep them around."

Only because we have a system where every company - you know, controlled by execs, and a board made up of execs or former execs from other companies - tell this tale.

We have to stop pretending C-level and VP-level people are special rare unicorns that are the only people who could possibly do this very difficult work. That's bullshit.

It's a self-perpetuating club that keeps voting itself the majority of the pie and keeps telling the myth that, by golly, that's the way it has to be or they just can't keep good talent.

If the majority of companies stop showering these assholes with bonuses they'll fucking stay put and be happy to have a job like the rest of us when times are hard.
So you're saying:

The only thing necessary for the triumph of good men is for "this woke crap" to do nothing.

Now that I see that, I'm pretty sure I disagree.
It seems interesting but does the user have to check email any time he/she decides to log in to my service?

If so i don't consider it interesting.

I would consider very interesting something similar to firebase authentication without having to include all the google privacy killer stuffs and for free.

Ask HN: How to construct a simple game for humans but difficult for AI?

I think this is an out-of-sight, out-of-mind kind of issue. They simply don't understand how their noise, which they do not perceive, can be so detrimental to others. Moreover, a lot of people simply can't grasp the difference good hardware or even just a different setup (moving away from noise sources like fans, open windows, appliances running, etc.) can impact the quality of their sound. Lastly, a lot of people either cannot or think they cannot do anything about it, so they dismiss others' concerns because "everyone else has problems too", equating their noise to be the same as others'.
Yeah sorry for that, can't delete it myself (guessing because of the childs)

Here in Mexico we have to copy the American narco model.

Drugs crossing the border don’t just appear automatically in the consumer’s hands, right?

So how do American narcos transport their drugs inside the US?

How do they transport the money?

Does the American law enforcement chooses to close their eyes to the mountains of drugs crossing the border every day and being transported everywhere in the US? Are they part of the mafia?

Let’s not forget there’s A LOT of money involved and a lot of consumers are millionaires and powerful people.

Why are cartels so quiet up there?
If you are not a part of a team building something you have little or no say in the outcome.

Put some gloves on and help out. Maybe you could get your features on the roadmap.

A lot of people in your situation hire a developer to add custom features. If your skill level isn't as high as the work required it could take forever (making you homeless). In your case (low skill/custom requirements) it is best to invest with a professional developer who can make your dreams a reality.

I'm just a video course / podcaster who spent a decent amount of time researching audio and I'm not a deep down audio engineer.

But based on the results I see with automated software tools that only try to reduce noise, I would say we're no where near there and a really good solution would involve things that haven't been invented yet. I think we'll have manned trips to Mars well before you have a software solution that can emulate the sound of a moderately treated room with ~2ms of latency or less.

With that said, I think we're there today if all you want to do is help reduce the noise of an air conditioner so you can chat with a friend on Hangouts, Discord or Zoom. This is a scenario where audio quality doesn't matter, but not hearing an A/C or lawn mower is worth having the person talking sound like a choppy robot. You probably won't even notice it too much with earbuds.
I'm not convinced. Merriam Webster seems consistent with the article's interpretation saying that it is meant ironic. The examples given by you and others in this thread of "encourage" meaning to force doesn't rule out the double meaning and irony. The modern saying is merely more transparent.
The summary is very much faithful, unfortunately followed by comments from commenters who obviously did not read the paper. I would just add this item, paraphrasing the paper:

In 2015 the Wuhan team of virologists working with researchers from Chapel Hill, NC obtained a chimeric virus able to infect the human respiratory tract, while unexpectedly featuring an increased pathogenesis in the mouse. The dangerous outcome was briefly discussed in the original paper, and further experiments seemed to have been carried out only at the Wuhan lab, possibly because of a US gov ban on such experiments that existed at that time.
No, they are not part of the natural order of the universe, but with respect, thinking about this in "ruling class" terms is completely wrong.

Neither word "ruling" nor "class" means anything in modern Western society, and neither do the two of them together. Using inaccurate and imprecise language commits two sins- fails to communicate why things are and fails to elucidate how they might be changed.

The word owner has precise meaning, as does the word creditor. This behavior is entirely about protecting the interests of owners and creditors. Sometimes people/orgs playing these roles are large and powerful but often they are not.

There is a huge literature here. The most recent best book I've read on these issues is Katarina Pistor "The Code of Capital."

Highly recommend pursuing a path to adopt more precise language on these matters. Cheers.
Thank you. Please share it with your friends and family that might enjoy it.
I do not think that investors do not do background checks between coffee, dinner and more conversations.

Some nodes can be under hostile control, but as the number increases the likelihood increases that they can link entry to exit based on timings. I consider it quite likely that the us govt can say “hey Germany/UK/Fance/etc., we have this batch of exit times, do any of your nodes correspond on entry?” or vice virce.
That's definitely a shame - and, as far as I know none of the open source Unix(-like) systems has exposed a similar functionality. I think D-bus should enable something like it, but I haven't had a closer look at that...

"Not many would complain about an exec getting a bonus during this time if it was actually reasonable in the first place."

This right here. If the CEO made, let's say, five times what I do - or some reasonable multiple during normal times, I wouldn't object to some retention bonus to maintain as much stability at the top as possible.

I acknowledge that 1) C-level and VP-level gigs come with responsibilities I would not want and 2) a good exec is hard to find. So I don't mind if company execs make much more than I do.

I do mind bullshit like this where they make in a year or two what I can expect to make over more than a decade, maybe even a lifetime, and then when times are hard get showered with more money while we get laid off or end up doing twice as much to cover for people laid off or hiring freezes.

Yep, being an exec of a company that's bankrupt probably sucks. Guess what? Being a average employee sucks then too. Everybody should have to suck it up, not just the run of the mill people.

In this context, I'm referring to the "trust us, it works" attitude that people who sell/provide analytics on front-end tracking use to justify their effort/expense. Based on experience, when you point out obvious problems doing analytics with JS, they keep repeating the mantra "but you _need_ front-end analytics" infinitely.
>"Appendix: Sam, have you simply invented cargo pants?

>No. Cargo pants are fashion-as-pretend-occupation — when not at work, wear a fancy chronometer to suggest you’re a pilot or a diver, or camo to suggest you’re in the military. Cargo pants are a paratrooper costume. Cargo shorts have giant external pouches so teenagers in the 90’s, trapped in school, could say (sartorially) “I go out into the world and do adventurous things!” even though the things they stored in those pouches were doritos and portable cd players.

>I am discussing clothing as it might be worn by people while doing their real jobs, not their pretend ones. If cargo pants are appropriate for your real job, you definitely don’t want or need my side-seam welt pockets; and vice-versa."

Apologies if I'm dense but it is just a reinvention of cargo pants albeit in a more slick way.

And several techwear brands already provide this kind of pockets and gravity pockets as well

I use pandoc to convert markdown to pdf/epub and my initial learning with pandoc [1] resulted in single file usage. So, I kept it like that. I'm planning to create a separate chapter-wise branch so that I can publish a nicer web version with tools like mdBook [2]. This will require a bit of scripting to handle references across chapters.

Yeah, I felt somewhat slandered by the attack on cargo pants. I wore them in high school and still wear them to this day for comfort and convenience. There is a functional elegance of being able to have pens, a small note book, keys+wallet and phone in separate pockets easily accessible. It's like having a preponderance of tabs open, but for pants.
Not in any meaningful sense other than being involved in computing when that was a thing. (eg: "I'm old".)
I read NoseTorch, was intrigued.
Not only are the Zetas not full of military any more, they are fighting constantly between old school and CDN (when they aren't fighting golfos). The current organization is a shell of what it was.
Or they simply don’t care or don’t want to invest effort into solving it ️
And the problem with putting cargo in your cargo pants is that it swings when you walk. I have aome great Kuhl pants with similar pocket design, but it's awkward to walk with my phone there.

I could perhaps get used to it, especially if they fit a bit tighter as his seem to.
A little off topic but what boggles my mind is seemingly everybody supports "equal pay for equal work" but nobody seems to support the idea that all salary/bonus/non-monetary compensation for everyone within a company should be freely accessible to everyone including contractors and seasonal workers within the company. This is so obvious to me as a first step in actual pay equity. How can we have pay equity without transparency?
First thing I noticed, hovering the big "Get started" button did not change my mouse cursor to a link-pointer. Just a small suggestion :).

Edit: Also, after clicking on "Get Started", the first field (email) should be in focus so the user can start typing, without having to move their mouse and click it first.

Edit 2: I love the simplicity of this tool. The interface is pretty good (but not yet great). How can I contact you?
A less creative interpretation would be that ICANN was asked to approve the purchase because the .org contract required it. ICANN called for feedback on whether it should approve, and many in response made their position very clear like the EFF, which lead to the rejection of the request.

Then you use > 1 CDN and switch traffic away from the faulty one. Also, if you serve a very large amount (as in different, say tens of thousands of different images) of data, 1 % of traffic is not enough to keep the other CDN caches warm.

I know of at least one site that works this way which has allowed them to weather CDN outages.

Chancellor: Wall Street is firmly in Wonderland
From a quick search, common dietary recommendations for protein seem to be 0.8g to 1.4g per kg bodyweight per day. 190g per day would likely be way more than most people need, being that both a) a lot of people weigh less than 190/1.4 (much less 190/0.8) and b) a lot of people won't need more than the standard dietary requirements of protein.

Definitely seems like you're not in at least one of these sets, though, so definitely not going for a "I know more about a healthy diet for you than you do", because hahaha no I don't. Mostly just posting to emphasise to casual readers that they (likely) don't need to target 190g protein per day.

Very specific cases was what I meant. Focusing on those for which there is evidence.
No:

- for trivial projects, I don’t want them to stop working one day

- for more serious services, moving login to a third party is a huge risk. The upside isn’t worth the risk. Even if it did your pricing is way too expensive, but that could be fixed.
If these numbers were significantly changed by a server side page view, I'd bet their page view wasn't firing any earlier than the top or bottom of the body tag, or maybe even on window ready. Anyone that's spent any real time outside of dropping in a snippet understands the implications of users navigating before hits fire, and it sounds like the team just didn't have that experience.

Like you, I also work to make sure people understand that client side data is not necessarily accurate, but still refer to it as metrics and KPIs, just with the caviot that we should bank on consistancy over accuracy, keeping our analysis geared towards behavior and trends versus most business people's immediate desire to take it to an operational/business intelligence type place.
Your fee example seems either plain wrong or dishonest. If you use Stripe to handle payments, the fee of using your service must be higher than using Stripe directly. But you claim that Stripe would take 35c, but you only 25c.
1. Your /about page also says "wbsite" rather than "website".

2. Your /features page is blank.

I remember a french action movie loosely based on this story: Le Pacte des loups, cool movie for some pandemic popcorn session :D
I have mainly used the built in RNNoise support in Mumble. But you can use https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice/ and build the VST plugin (This is also what NoiseTorch uses i think). Then use any application that can load VST plugins to pipe your mic through. I have had reasonably good luck with it on Windows with Equalizer APO.

I don’t know how standard this is but to prevent our third party JavaScript from impacting page load times, we defer our tag manager (Tealium) from being loaded until after the page has successfully loaded.
