The more employers willing to hire remote workers, the less this argument works.

Still, I already make 1/2 as much as I could make living in Boston, living 90 miles north of it. That is "local market" salary though for a job that is ostensibly on-site (partial remote / now fully remote due to COVID).
What I'd like is a system to let me browse, create and organize my "notes," to use the Anki term of art, in a literate, flexible way. You could probably build it on top of Anki using tags and/or data hidden in HTML, but I think it would provide enough added value to justify paying for it.

Basically, I want WorkFlowy for Anki notes. I should be able to organize my notes into hiearchical categories and browse them easily. Currently, it's difficult to find the gaps in your Anki deck on a given topic unless you're very careful and thorough with your tagging. And even then, only being able to view one card at a time makes it hard to quickly scan through the cards under a given tag.
I see you slipped the word "violence" in there. Perhaps you misspelled "defence"?

The State is the primary perpetrator of violence, not "the right".

You shouldn't be thinking in "left vs right", but in "individuals vs the state". The only things sitting between your liberties and the State are: its constitution (if any), and the "militarized right" (gun owners).

There's some historical examples of individuals giving up their guns, perhaps you should read into what happened afterwards?
Mezzano (LispOS) Release Demo 5
Has this attack group been in position for a long time, so they have had time to deal with all levels of backup by poisoning them in transit, so Garmin has no viable recovery tools? One would think that that all modern data security plans have locked and unchangeable archived backups - that said, if even those have been discovered and quietly encrypted in such a way that they looked ok to monitoring systems - until the trigger was pulled? A complex problem. Garmin must pay or rebuild all they have created in many areas? At this point it becomes an economic decision = pay and live to fight another day...

That just goes to show how weak your argument is.
Don't forget that there are zircon grains around today that are nearly as old as the Earth. There are zircon grains dated at over 4.4 billion years old. They've survived _a lot_. These are zircon grains that have survived everything else around them being melted and metamorphosed multiple times, then eroded, then redeposited, etc. We don't really know anything about the rock they originally crystallized as a part of, but the individual zircons are almost indestructible and make it into new rocks as old rocks are destroyed.

They're also massively useful as a "fingerprint" of what rocks eroded to produce a particular sediment. You can identify things like river drainages switching through time by what zircons are in sands. (Search for detrital zircon geochronnology.) It's incredible what you can piece together by looking at zircon grains!
That 1% depends on a wide variety of contexts. It isn’t 1% for everyone, 1/3% of those who didn’t die seem to have debilitating persistent problems, and even if everything is fine with you, you can pass it to someone who passes it to someone who dies from your unwillingness to act for the greater good. To do anything but protect yourself is fundamentally selfish.

Irrelevant article from 2016
>go ask your vegetarian friends how often they accidentally eat meat through no fault of their own

Huh? I've been a vegetarian for two decades, eat at restaurants often nowadays, and I've never had these sorts of issues. I mean, a small handful of times EVER someone made a mistake and served me meat (though once the mistake was mine) but that's quickly fixed. Never had issues where I ate half a real burger or anything like that.

I would never personally leave a one-star review for a mistake like this unless it was something that happened literally every time I went. I think leaving a one star review over a single mix-up is really petty. I also have the opinion that if you absolutely can't tolerate mistakes you should always be preparing your own food.

Anything requiring sudo or su is not enough: too easy to just take the habit to type the password very fast.

What I've found that works is using the command "lockout" with some weird modification of the sudoers file in order to allow only certain commands with sudo (or other commands with only certain arguments not matching forbidden patterns).
Hey HN!
Creator of RefRem here. We are two geeks working from Europe (Marcus is a cofounder of Pond5.com). We’re hoping to get feedback from any of you who are JVM users running serverless workloads.

Cold startup is a huge problem routinely taking above 10-15 seconds with spikes in RAM usage as high as 240MB -- both these problems discourage adoption of Java serverless.

RefRem (https://refrem.com) automatically converts your jar files into a bundle ready to run in an AWS Lambda. During our tests RefRem reduced RAM x5, and cold startups showed drops from 10 seconds to 100 ms.

Please sign up, and test it out. We are eager to see what the community will make of it.

For one, because the underlying asset they are paying interest in can lose value, or even go to zero. Compound, for example, has lost 50% of its value in just a month.

You did not remember the article correctly.

edit: A summary of the changes:

>Laws were changed. It became illegal to buy tobacco under the age of 18 and alcohol under the age of 20, and tobacco and alcohol advertising was banned. Links between parents and school were strengthened through parental organizations which by law had to be established in every school, along with school councils with parent representatives. Parents were encouraged to attend talks on the importance of spending a quantity of time with their children rather than occasional “quality time”, on talking to their kids about their lives, on knowing who their kids were friends with, and on keeping their children home in the evenings.

>A law was also passed prohibiting children aged between 13 and 16 from being outside after 10 p.m. in winter and midnight in summer. It’s still in effect today.

>Home and School, the national umbrella body for parental organizations, introduced agreements for parents to sign. The content varies depending on the age group, and individual organizations can decide what they want to include. For kids aged 13 and up, parents can pledge to follow all the recommendations, and also, for example, not to allow their kids to have unsupervised parties, not to buy alcohol for minors, and to keep an eye on the wellbeing of other children.

>State funding was increased for organized sport, music, art, dance and other clubs, to give kids alternative ways to feel part of a group, and to feel good, rather than through using alcohol and drugs, and kids from low-income families received help to take part. In Reykjavik, for instance, where more than a third of the country’s population lives, a Leisure Card gives families 35,000 krona (£250) per year per child to pay for recreational activities.
Blaming one man and party for this problem ignores all the many steps and people that brought us here.

I don't quite follow the mouse hating. And I'm a heavy Emacs/vim user!

The mouse is great. Sometimes it's the best way to select text or follow links.

I find it useful to bind some common hotkeys to mouse buttons: I bind right click to switch between normal/insert modes, handy if my hand is already on the mouse. I bind thumb buttons to flip around the buffer list in Emacs. Of course, I have keyboard keys to do these actions as well, but there's some value in replication, given that there are lots of situations that require mouse.

I use a great keyboard with a well-customized layout and keybindings. We should work to bring the mouse into the fold, not excommunicate it.

Covid-19 Transmission and Children: The Child Is Not to Blame
They lost me at "Google".

I don't want to have to use a Google account and to share my images and notes and text with Google and the US government.

Also - I agree with other commenters that it'll probably be a better idea to obtain the "unparsed" markup (or should I say - markdown?) rather than generating HTML.
I'm a user of Rescue time, which has a subscription component.

Definitely a fan of the service, works for me to help me get in a flow state and worth the few bucks they ask for.
There's tons of evidence available online, but a big problem is a lack of agreement on what constitutes "credible evidence". There is a fairly significant amount of clinical evidence available (despite it being effectively banned from study for decades), but the vast majority of evidence available is anecdotal reports from users. It should be noted that while it's true that this class of evidence lacks a "proper" (standards double blind placebo-controlled, etc) approach, it does not logically follow that it is therefore incorrect.

As for where to point skeptical-minded people, I agree with others that Sam Harris is one of the better resources.

Here is an article on his recent 5g "heroic dose" mushroom trip:

https://thethirdwave.co/neuroscientist-sam-harris-reports-on...

> “There’s no denying that there were parts of the experience that felt like an encounter with something other than my own mind,” Harris says, something that guided him “across the landscape of mind.” Many trippers, Harris notes, interpret this something as god or a universal consciousness. Harris suspends judgment. “My day job is not to be fooled by spurious ideas passed down from our ignorant ancestors, so I’m very slow to make claims about what I think is going on here,” he says. “I’m just reporting the character of the experience.” In the end, Harris says, “I thought of this as the mushroom itself.”

> Thus Harris captures the magic and intrigue of psychedelics: the parsimonious explanation for the encounters you feel on a big mushroom trip is that you’re being guided by a fungus. Harris himself is astounded. “The fact that there are landscapes of mind this vast lurking on the other side of a mushroom is simply preposterous,” Harris goes on. “It’s as though we lived in a universe where, if you just reached into your right pocket with your left hand, rather than pull out your wallet, you’d pull out the Andromeda Galaxy.”

Well, from the user perspective, chip size and clock are crucial factors, as GPU workloads tend to be parallelizable. Besides, chip size and clock don't come for free, so I think they shouldn't be discarded regardless.

AFAIK, with each generation, Nvidia has increased raw performance by 20-30%, which is significant.

On the other hand, the wall of physical limits is getting closer (which may restrict the chip size), but until then, GPUs are faring very well.

GPUs functionalities also have a very different nature (as you point out), but this can play well for the user. Realism depends on many functionalities, which have plenty of headroom for improvement (in the sense of hardware support); see ray tracing, which supposedly, is going to be significantly faster on Ampere.
> One of the potential advantages of a centralised model is that it would allow the use of machine learning to adapt thresholds to minimise error...

This is a cop out. Machine learning isn’t magic. If the proximity measurement doesn’t really work without ML then it’s probably not going to start working with ML. Besides, if you really wanted to do it in a decentralized app you could use federated learning, no?

Still, I think the age has something to do with it. The death rate for motorcycles is 24 times higher than that for cars but we would never allow a car missing enough safety features to be comparably dangerous on the road. You couldn't get regulators and the public to accept, say, 80 mile per hour electric rollerblades even if you could demonstrate they were just as safe as motorcycles.
There are two parts where local authorities need to be involved: troll-proofing the way people flag themselves as infected and translating exposure into actionable instructions/suggestions (e.g. different testing capacities require different testing strategies).

I agree that Google/Apple could have done a lot more, like an OS-branded App with extensive functional localization in cooperation with local authorities. But looking back at how pretty much every country was initially trying very hard to avoid working with the OS makers Google/Apple might not be to blame at all for merely providing a minimal API instead of a complete turnkey solution. Governments all over the world were only coerced into adopting the API by malware countermeasures already present in the operating systems, almost like a sudden vindication of Lessig's old "code is law" claim.
Consequences don’t have to be regulatory.

How about an opt-in scoreboard or ratings system for responses, with some objective criteria?

Regulation would need to be based on objective criteria anyway, so why not develop them as an industry?

It doesn't stop it in the moment, but logging the date to ~/.procrasts does provide at least some after-the-fact accountability. I think a lighterweight initial approach is good, and, if logging reveals that it's abused, then one can move to harder-to-circumvent solutions.
That statement was one aspect of a more general point about cancer studies at large, and the gap mentioned is still applicable to the study in the OP.
All of this is true if you test positive with or without an app. The app helps you know you might be asymptomatic and spreading it to people that you know or don’t know, who can then die from it or otherwise be seriously injured.
Wait, so how are you matching the beacons (cryptographic random values) back to individual users?The back end only gets that information if a user tests positive and agrees to submit the data.

Even then there is no reason to store that linkage so server compromises won't leak this information.

This is precisely why the uniform, badge, marked cars, being deliberate, and following procedures are so important to policing. And why impersonating law enforcement is strictly punished.

The lack of these things is why the answer here is to defend yourself by any means possible, including lethal force. Realistically though most people would just get kidnapped - we don't all walk around prepared to fight, because we rely on society being calm enough that this is not necessary. These goon squads are not upholding law and order, but rather creating confusion and disorder. The cities that are directing their local police to arrest these dangerous criminals have the right idea, although we'll see how it plays out.
You may do so on your own private property. If you wish to use public roadways, you must abide by the laws set by your state, which must balance the costs to society of your choices against your ability to make them.

These kind of articles need to be nuanced or we’ll end up with conclusions such as “fasting cures cancer”.

The role of cellular autophagy is not that clear: it can promote mammary and pancreatic cancerous cells survival but on the other hand its inhibition promotes the development of lymphoma for instance.

Apoptosis can likely have a symmetrical role.

It isn’t clear neither that this behaviour is consistent across all development stages of given cancers.
I thought they _originally_ intended for servo to perhaps someday be its own thing; I had this impression specifically because I think they had at some point aspirations for servo to have a stable embedding API (to let other applications use it as a rendering engine).

People get this wrong a lot.

Security only through obscurity is no security at all. The argument was generally made in the context of secret, proprietary encryption algorithms. In this context, it was frequently true - security reduced to reverse engineering.

But security isn't a thing. It is a property of a system. And many secure systems strategically employ obscurity for multiple purposes.

Reciting a mantra is a poor substitute for carefully considering your problem domain.

I've been trying various "noprocrast" approaches over the years, including /etc/hosts and HN's own noprocrast settings. The one that finally worked for me was disabling distractions directly on the router - it covers all my computers, as well as my phone. I set it so that distracting sites are disabled during work hours (Monday-Friday, 08:00 - 18:00).

There was the incident of a protester holding a boombox over their head, and getting shot in the face with a "less lethal" munition that cracked their skull.

Another where a person was riding their bike away from a protest and got hauled into an anonymous van and held without cause.

Self defense is ok, these actions are not. One "protester" being violent does not warrant collective punishment of all/any protesters. It warrants defense from, and the arrest of, the violent ones.

Ask HN: Thinking of Moving to the US from Europe
As an EU citizen working in an EU country, I am considering a move to the US. Through my employer, I have the option to transfer, so visa should not be an issue.

Is moving to the US still worth it? I hear and read a lot of bad things about the US, but I can't say how much of that is sensationalized versus real issues.

I'm 26 years old, single, and I'm thinking that now would be the best time to see something else outside of Europe before I get the urge to settle down. Given that it is increasingly hard to receive a visa to the US, I also feel like I should take advantage of having the opportunity to transfer within my company. On the other hand, it would be a shame if I didn't like it in the US and had to "waste" some years of my youth while being separated from friends and family. Having only 10 days of paid time off seems scary to me -- the least I've ever had was five weeks.
