Deadlines Influence Your Success
Not a doctor, but I have had kidney stones.

The answer is a loss of calcium, so high level found in urine test: if you had way too much vitamin D, then you would start releasing the calcium from your bones.

I don't think that taking calcium supplements would help, because calcium metabolism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism) is much more complex than that.
> Next, I install signal on my phone via the app store. How do I know the app I installed matches the source code that was audited? After all, google / Apple could decide / be forced to provide a modified binary.

Isn't this already happening on both play store and app store? The actual package delivered to end users is actually generated and signed by google/apple, and they can modify the binary inside the package as they see fit (e.g. to optimize for each user's device arch, etc).

I think the execution of the the chat bubble (a circle with a strange looking chat icon plus happy face) is not great.

Perhaps "blindness" is an issue. But also the chat bubble execution itself. Do visitors understand what it is?

I wonder what would happen if there were a persistent chat bubble with the text "live chat" or "chat now" "questions?"

In contrast, "Live Chat & Support" in the primary navigation is extremely visible and clear.
> this website making money off their content

That's an interesting wording. I would say it's making money off your data than their content.

In other situations, we'd normally call this doxing.
True fact! I recently had EC2 migrate my VM when the physical server it was on reached EOL. If they had fired my VM up again, I wouldn't have even noticed. They didn't. Fortunately it had an EBS volume and I was able to manually restart it without data loss.

I wish I could see the original of this - this quote “As with previous posts, I picked the best responses, but everything after the bolded prompt is by GPT-3“ could mean anything from a minor improvement to this being essentially human written, and there’s no way to tell.
Thanks for the link and please have her include whether k2 supplementation is recommended or necessary along with the d3. I have been supplementing with k2 due to a history of kidney stones.
I've heard people say that the right way to say 'no' in Japanese is more along the lines of "it is very difficult." I have no idea how much linguistic truth there is to that, but it definitely rings true culturally.

Whenever people talk about how GPT-3 can’t do a lot of things that humans can do, I always think back to the “Bitter Lesson”. I don’t want to believe that general AI will just come from a stupid amount of compute, but it might.
Actually, stockpiling does happen if there are no laws against price gauging. Because that's how the capital bound in the stockpile gets it's ROI.

MORE people are willing to spend money on webcams than in the recent past. That is why there is a supply issue. This doesn’t necessarily mean a huge number of people are willing to spend money in it in general. Doubling a relatively small number doesn’t automatically make it a big number.
I wonder if they write off fines as expenses and still turn a profit.
Highly debated argument though; to me it's like saying you CPU doesn't understand HTML and your browser is running on a CPU, hence it can't understand HTML either.

Where are you located? I've worked for over half a dozen software companies in the bay area and we never had problems finding highly qualified candidates.

I was part of the hiring process durring a period of rapid growth. I noticed that difficulties in hiring had more to do with our own ineptitude in hiring people rather than short comings of the candidates. Simply put: engineers suck at interviewing other engineers. Often times, engineers would ask unreasonable questions or questions that had nothing to do with the job, etc. And it's not just engineers, even engineering managers and engineering leads often don't know what they're doing in interviewing until they get some experience with it. And even then, some of them insist on passing on highly talented people just so they can build up their own ego.

My advice to any company who thinks there's a "skills gap" is take a look at those so called skills and make sure you're asking the right questions. For each tech question you ask, first ask yourself whether that skill/knowledge is used on the job, if so it's a fair question. It's amazing to me how many times engineers will pass on candidates who have over 5-10 years of experience doing essentially the job for which their applying for, just because they don't remember some esoteric thing like linked lists which has little to do with modern software engineering, etc.
Interesting! Thank you for correcting me.
Thanks. Do you have any experience with Substack's audio feature? Given that I'm also going to start a newsletter (of course!!! Everyone does!), I am considering that for the podcast too.
For Chrome:

chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies

chrome://flags/#cookies-without-same-site-must-be-secure

I found that at least the #same-site-by-default-cookies flag behaved as I would expect when setting it to "Disabled". Use case was to load an iframe that sets it's own cookies with no SameSite value and still have that value default to "None".

We fixed this issue properly ("SameSite=None; Secure" in the cookie set in the iframe), but using the #same-site-by-default-cookies flag was a workaround for a little while.

What was a bit strange was the default behavior on Chrome was different for users even on the same Chrome version. They seemed to be rolling it out in phases. More info on that here: https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site

I am one of those (adjective intentionally discarded) people who left research to become a software developer.

I do agree with most of what you said, though. I left a PhD program without finishing after six years because:

1. I wanted financial security to start a family

2. I was not dealing well with the stress of navigating the Kafkaesque graduation process

3. Turns out market salary outside of research is pretty high even if you don't finish the degree

And I do feel vindicated in that as a software developer I'm getting positive performance reviews and feel like I'm making an impact on the organization.

One thing I want to add:

People's perception of scientific institutions will always be inextricably tied to their perceptions of schools (all levels of schools!) and K-12 schools are troubled institutions that mistreat a lot of young people, to say nothing of teaching misleading content or outright falsehood in (e.g.) history class. I, with my early-blooming aptitude for everything bookish, privileged college-professor parents, and serviceable athletic talents, had a pretty easy time in school. So trust in institutional science came naturally to me and eroded only painfully.

People from different backgrounds have harder times, and those with the least aptitude for (say) science have the hardest time.

> After all, the real target of these kinds of articles is obviously the supposedly right-wing extremist "science deniers" who reject the critical theory stuff even more strongly than scientists themselves do.

The National Basketball Association, with its overwhelmingly liberal player base, has all kinds of trouble with the conspiracy theories its players wind up believing and talking about in public (shape of the Earth, moon landing, and of course all kinds of stuff about Coronavirus).

I mention this, not just out of contrarianism, but because K-12 teachers famously mistreat young black men with athletic ambitions (if you follow the human interest side of the NBA you will hear a lot of stories to that effect), and because as they get older they discover what amounts to a conspiracy to cover up wrongs done to their ancestors (it was and maybe still is possible to get a K-12 education in Tulsa without ever learning about the Tulsa massacre for example).

Which is all a long-winded way to say that we're reaping what the education system has sown as well as the institutions of science.

Better yet: don't install the Twitter app, and instead use m.twitter.com, which works perfectly and stays entirely within the browser's sandbox as it should.

You can have a separate icon for that as though it were an app, and if you really want to, you can enable push notifications just as you could with an app.
thing is ammonia nitrate explosive has longer shock wave that affects building structures much more than high explosives, watched documentary on timothy mcveigh bombing and why it is preferred explosive for purposes of terror.
That was actually my line of thinking. I was on mobile and it didn’t work. I jumped onto my laptop and still didn’t work. I felt I had put in enough effort at that point. If I didn’t have what I felt was a fairly perfect substitute in the competitors product maybe I would have tried harder.
I guess part of the problem is that our brains tend to use the authority of who says what to validate the opinion.

We need to switch our brains to focus on what is being said instead and a lot of people have a problem with this.

When there's no way to define the authority of who is saying it, the authority is transferred to the subject instead, in this case "Hacker News".

People will have a tendency to flock on the authority represented now by the subject.

(BTW, in my experience HN is the best place i know where "whats being said" is more important and have an authority on its own, and the reason why i keep coming back here)
If you look at it, chilling the fuel and oxydizer is kind of increasing the fuel capacity without adding structural weight.

Depends on which market you're talking about. Canada, EU, and Asia are generally unimpressive. West Coast US is through the roof, mostly due to FAANG+M types, or those orgs with a similar demand for skill bodies. The rest of the US is hit-or-miss.

Amazon has a few options in the $50-90 range.

You prick your finger, draw a "small amount" of blood, and send it to a lab.
Do you have a source for this? Is it for a specific website?
Halifax involved 2,653 tons of picric acid, a figure not mentioned in the main Wikipedia article, but noted here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_artificial_non-nuclear...

Beirut 2020 involved 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, same page.

To my mind these are roughly equivilent amounts of raw explosive agent. Some might even argue persuasively that there is slightly more explosive noted in the second.

As I've already conceeded, blast yield TNT estimates may vary, but by whatever specific measure both the Halifax and Beirut explosions were large.

And, to my initial point: damage and casualty estimates may not be instantly available.
I see that circle thing all the time but I had no idea what it did until this moment.
Finalizers (IDisposable) or try-with-resources are not equally strong as deterministic destruction in C++ or Rust. Or did you mean a different feature for deterministic destruction in C# that I don't know of? I'm quite curious.
I got this notification on my iOS device, I have never used twitter on Android. I think they just sent it out to everyone.
I think they meant to type 2200 tons / 2.2 ktons.
Regarding aerosols, the authors write that it is not possible to draw conclusions yet, because they could not find enough supportive data on aerosol transmission. Please note that they only consider sources before May 3, 2020.

> Agreed though, this particular customer disqualified himself as soon as he said he wont pay if the server goes down. He should have offered a big bonus if the move succeeds without downtime.

I don't know, that sounds too close to encouraging the attitude of "it's not worth it, I'll just take my normal pay". 10x vs. 0x is a significantly stronger incentive than 10x vs. 1x.
A lot of what is said in this article only really makes sense if you define science to be "what is said or done by someone called a scientist."

> They've been trying to manipulate HN with multiple accounts and voting rings—which hasn't worked

There have certainly been signs of “voting rings” (or something else that causes similar end results) for over a year now.

It has long been obvious that downvoting gets abused, as mentioned in other comments here.

Does HN ever mean to acknowledge and address that?
Those were found to be wrong because of the scientific process. It self corrects. In contrast, how many non-scientific "theories" have been right? How do you correct something that is wrong without a method like science?

I could list any number of things like witchcraft, homeopathy, various snake oils, superstition causing animal abuse, as examples of what happens without science. Some of these things endure centuries too, because there is no mechanism to correct them.
Do glasses help, or do you need goggles?
Something I see not often mentioned (as a long-sufferer of both of them) is that since COVID is much more highly contagious than either the standard set of flu virii OR the standard set of rhinovirii (common cold) (what I've read, IIRC, is that COVID is 3x more contagious than those: the median R0 for COVID is 5.7 https://www.healthline.com/health/r-nought-reproduction-numb... and the flu has an R0 of 1.3 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/asia/china-co... and the cold, 1.5 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.04.20020404v..., see table 1), all the work we're doing to stop COVID transmission may be having an even greater effect on flu and cold transmission.

I talked to a biologist friend about the possibility of those being eradicated as an unintended positive side effect of our anti-COVID efforts, and he suggested that the animal kingdom unfortunately can serve as a zoological reservoir of some of these viruses and could potentially retransmit them back to humans, so it probably wouldn't entirely eradicate them, but it might certainly drastically hamper them for years.

I for one will be happy to take "will not experience a cold or flu for the next... who knows how many years" as a 2020 consolation prize.

Things I did not know while researching this comment:

The common cold costs the US economy $40 billion a year, and Amazon is secretly working on a cure: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/06/amazon-is-secretly-working-o...

The 2018 flu season cost businesses an estimated $15.4 billion https://money.cnn.com/2018/02/02/news/flu-season-business-co... and sufferers $10.4 billion in hospitalizations and outpatient expenses https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pdf/business/Toolkit_Seasonal_Flu_fo...

That seems to imply that the combined economic benefit of nearly eradicating both could result in an economic boon of $65 BILLION a year, and that's just in the United States! Not to mention all the people who won't die of the flu, etc...

>legitimacy crisis

You've hit the nail on the head here. These past few years I've felt like every major institution has been in a credibility crisis. Government, news, universities, the whole thing is falling apart. One hypothesis I'm starting to believe was coined by Eric Weinstein as the Embedded Growth Obligation (EGO). The basic idea is we had a few historically unique decades post WWII of exponential growth, and all of our institutions are now reliant on that. But the real exponential growth is over and they're flailing about trying to fake it.

https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Embedded_Growth_Obligation
I've never seen that, even on very large threads. (Using it in Firefox for Android here.)
I don't personally care if some ad network made a few pennies off me, and preventing that wouldn't be worth the inconvenience to me.
It was asked for internet forum philosophy, not academic philosophy.
A suborbital cross globe flight would also be quite fun, but they'd need to build a landing/launching pad and refueling station.
Haha, and I find the mega bar on the bottom in Chrome super annoying. Get out of my face! ;)
I also avoid FF because of the UI. It's what I use on my PC, which doesn't get used much. If I have to VNC into a linux machine at work, I'll use it there as well. But that is even rarer.

The last time I noticed a UI change, it was for the worse. The made the url/navigation/search bar get bigger when it had focus. To me that is pretty dumb, and I wish you could turn it off. Knowing Firefox you probably can, but a few Google searches couldn't tell me how. If this was done on a product that already had a good UI, it wouldn't seem like a big deal. But given how much low hanging fruit there is in Firefox's UI, it makes you question their priorities.

This is all really weird, since what made Firefox take off in the first place was its better UI. A lot of websites had compatibility issues, and people wanted to use Firefox in spite of them. A lot of webdevs got to work fixing these issues because they wanted to be able to switch to Firefox themselves. It seems that Mozilla never really understood how much its UI advantage helped Firefox get popular. Instead they seem to attribute that period of success to things that I think most people consider nice to haves: extensions, privacy, about:config, etc.
Marketing/business side always demand prime real-estate to push 'features' instead of just blending them into the UI. This is extra-apparent on mobile apps but FB did it on their website for years (I haven't seen what it looks like recently).

It's not easy to say no as a designer but the best companies are the ones most capable of keeping things as focused on primary UX flows as possible.

TikTok figured this out by making it all about scrolling a simple page of high-density videos, the entire screen is full of the content you want. No extra tapping or side scrolling needed.

Reddit is another company that missed the boat on what made their website great during their redesign. Making it feel top-heavy JS-wise and sparser instead of simple high-density information like newspaper site with simple links. For ex: the first article on old.reddit.com is 100px from the top and can fit 10 articles within 1000px, while the new one starts at 400px and lists 3-4 posts by 1000px (HN is 55px and 20+ posts).
Why is it more appropriate to actively subvert a content provider's ability to monetize while still consuming their product?
FWIW, as far as I am concerned, I would wear goggles if made mandatory or highly recommended (as long as the kind of recommended googles are sufficiently well described).

On that note I don't see anyone left wearing surgical or latex gloves outside now (Western Europe).
Thank you!

I just installed it, and it does a great job.
