Unless you are buying gillette blades. Even at costco you can spend almost $50 on a bunch of refills.

Unfortunately I seem to have the best shaving experience with gillette blades. I tried Harry's and other brands, but then I tried gillette again and it was markedly better.

This. SARS-2 is a great spreader but a poor killer. (See: SARS-2’a early course interferon-mediated immunosuppression which probably explains the presence of pre-symptomatic spread). Worst possible candidate for suppression.

And eradication is literally impossible. It just shows how little these people know. It’s a zoonotic virus with abundant animal reservoirs, a high reproduction rate and pre-symptomatic spread. Even with a vaccine it fails the zoonotic requirement.

It’s endemic and here to stay. Anyone paying attention has known that from the start. I’ve personally been saying this for months and I’m just a deterministic algorithm operating on fixed-length groups of bits called blocks.
Have you used modern PHP? Its a great language these days.
> In that case, we'd expect at least a few places in time and space to have second language learners who do a phenomenal job of acquiring the target language, yet as far as I know that's never been found in the literature.

Respectfully, your literature is gobbledygook. :)

If the preponderance of evidence is on one side perhaps the academic researches need to get out more and collect better evidence.

I suggest as a start going to touristy places in developing countries (SEA, Peru, 'etc) where the guides are economically incentivised to speak half a dozen languages. I've encountered this sort of person over and over. They simply had to learn, as adults, and so they did.

Bet you'd learn French too if you worked for tips and your kid was hungry tout de suite!

And as for literature, try cracking a few books open from previous centuries that involved extensive travel for the author.

What do you use twitter for? I remember seeing Jack on the colbert report in the 2000s talking about being profitable as company. In those 20yrs I've never felt the need to tweet or read tweets. What's the appeal?

I read that it is hard to shave the upper lip area with one of these.
The tricky thing is that while we humans do tend to seek out expert opinion on things we don't know, we also have a fundamental arrive to "understand" things.

A big part of the job of a doctor is to find a way to explain things to their patient in a way that is tailored for them. Being too technical you won't get the point across; being to vague may be interpreted as you're grasping at straws, and being too condescending is more and more problematic in our modern societies with mass education. To a poorly educated person from the early 20 century, it was no big deal to just trust the doctor to do their doctory thing and talk in their doctory way. Them being condescending and confident was in character.

A century later, the society is quite different. Most people received a nominally far better education than in the past, and grew up in a culture where everybody can become whatever they want, after all it's just a matter of educating yourself and hard work.

Understanding is withing reach. "Perhaps we don't need to depend on those condescending twats in their white coats looking down on us!".

At the same time, the vastness of knowledge gathered makes it so hard to actually master it. Being a proper member of the scientific community requires more and more education and team work and institution to coordinate all that.

This provides a barrier to entry to all people who are interested in understanding the whys and the hows.

As mentioned earlier, most people seek answers. For the answers to be trustworthy they either have to come from a trustworthy authority or they have to make sense (or better, a combination of the two).

But trust in scientific authorities has been eroded over time by egregious failings (real or perceived) of white coats acting in bad faith, doing the bids of whoever provides for their salary, be it big tabacco, big pharma, food industries, etc. When that happened it resonated with the good old human fear of the unknown and mysterious and was fertile ground for the Hollywood persona of the white coat of dubious morality or at least gullible nerd.

On the other hand trust in political authority is, well, political, thus fueling the search for alternative explanations when the official ones have politically connotations that go against one's own identity.

It also helps that nowadays circulating information offers far less friction than in the past. You can easily devote that half hour to chime in with your deep insights about topics you ultimately have no clue about, like what I'm doing here right now.
Which is part of why this seems a hard problem: how do we distinguish the sincere and informative comments from the insincere and manipulative, in the short window it matters most?

If we can't, then can we proactively discourage bad actors a different way? Or somehow sufficiently right harm done and unjust advantage taken, after the fact?
For what is worth you are not alone.

I've seen many that weight economic collapse heavily in the equasion.

It's tempting to simplify the mental model in terms of casualities but in reality there's a gradient between alive and dead.

People need to realize the chart is not composed of two vertical bars. It's a bell curve instead and covid might be less influential in that curve than we are led to believe relative to the economy.

No I don't go to protests and ralies, I don't leave home unless strictly necessary since I work remotely. But I still understand not everyone is as fortunate and I accept they might have to just go out and work in order for provide to their families.

> For everyone else, we should have a vaccine in the next 2-3 months.

This is a naive question, but to my knowledge there has never been a widely successful and safe vaccine developed for a coronavirus, am I wrong? People have been talking vaccine, but I've always thought that coronavirus, i.e. common cold family, has been nearly impossible to nail down with a vaccine.

You seem a lot more confident so I must be in the wrong here.
Nobody credible thinks eradication is possible, because we would have to eliminate it from the extensive animal reservoirs. What, are we going to genocide every pangolin, bat, and housecat in existence?
Show HN: A better way to view Reddit Videos
Yes, but hasn't China also forced US companies (and probably European companies as well) to sell parts of themselves in order to continue operating in China?

This can also be interpreted as a way to even the playing field.
As a Facebook employee: Facebook has a real left leaning political bias.

Nah, I am just kidding, this is the internet and you can write anything on it. The bias thing is real tough to anyone who can read words with more than 3 syllables without using a finger.
This plays right into China's narrative. Now the arrest of Meng Wanzhou (Huawei CTO) starts to look a bit less principled and a bit more like a piece of realpolitik.

I think it's definitely justified in the sense that it's understandable to strike back, but it's hard to take a moral high ground now.
1) Why is this? Is it because both sides share it vs just typical echo chamber sharing? I know it's not "shared more because more people believe it" as the US is pretty close to 50/50.
I like how this article claims not to be whataboutism, and then proceeds to go "but whatabout american companies"

Like I'm on board with the fact that if we're going to be "protecting the privacy of American citizens" we need to protect our privacy from American companies and also the government as well.

This article doesn't really make that argument though, it says "(this) won't be solved by putting more data in the hands of US companies" but doesn't make the argument that this is what banning tiktok does.

I gave Rust a good solid tryout.

It turned out to be insufficiently expressive to put into libraries the semantics I want to encapsulate. I went back to C++, and have been very happy. (It's also nice that lots of people want to pay to have it done.) As with Rust, I can write 2000 lines and, once it compiles, it works.

The hardest thing about going back to C++ from Rust was getting used to putting semicolons where Rust doesn't require them. Years later it still trips me.

Not "even the sharpest" but "especially the sharpest". The sharper the edge the easier it is damaged.

Also - I've got a cheap beard trimming machine I bought 10 years ago. I use it every week or two, and I haven't replaced the blades even once (I don't think it's even replacable) - still works fine.

It seems the solution is to use blades that are almost dull?
Huh, their explanation makes no sense. Do they review every single Spotify song or Netflix movie and show? I don't see how this is any different.
Ask HN: Can You Hack This?
I want you to try to hack this login system and remote browser so I can save embarrassment and loss when it gets bigger.

I tied to design it with security in mind and patch some reported vulnerabilities along the way but I'm sure I've missed lots of stuff.

I'm hoping some security minded readers more intelligent than me can break it so that I can fix it so that it will be safer.

Skip the flavour of the month and go with their older products - for which the cartridges are far cheaper (especially with frequent deals). I still use the Sensor series cartridges - more blades just makes for more clogging of the cartridges.
I'm sorry, you're wrong. They are not regulated. The standard for a traditional news agent is they cannot publish known lies about a living person, because that exposes them to civil liability. A news program can choose to say whatever they think about anybody - the President, any candidate, whatever, and as long as nobody can prove that they knew it was a lie, they're fine. There's no obligation to show the President's content there either. They can choose not to show right-leaning or left-leaning content. They also have the same protections on the comments section. Any reliability or nonpartisanship in US news media comes solely from a cultural sense of ethics, not any legal framework.
this is tangential to the problem https://www.ganaz.com/ is solving I believe. Labor for industries like cruise ships (~400k), cargo ships (1.1M), dairy etc is still organized and managed very manually. You could foresee an opportunity to build a Gusto or Salesforce for these industries with a decent TAM.
But no one was disputing the existence of successful, even wildly successful startups. People are criticizing startups that behave ignorantly and arrogantly. (And quite frankly, give the entire scene a bad name.) You are attempting to play devil's advocate by pointing out that some flout conventional wisdom and established practices and succeed. Very well, we can all agree that those enterprises exist. The question is if they exist in any appreciable number, which is very debatable- again, due to the simple arithmetic of very low startup success rates.

You are celebrating lottery winners. The existence of that very few does not justify bad behavior from (some of) the rest. Your proof is facile.

This is even worse than not following people on the right. You are just seeking out the worst and most toxic media that will reinforce your view of the right. There are plenty of reasonable people that identify with the right (not necessarily Trump) such as Julius Krein and Ross Douthat and David Frum. Try to seek out the best of the other side instead.

Nearest neighbor ordering algorithms (hierarchical clustering, dendrograms) are well suited for sorting the items in either or both axes. If either axis relates directly to a physical dimension then it might be best to maintain that order in the matrix. A lot of the fun is in working out how to measure distance between items based on their values as that drives the results of the nearest neighbor order.
I don't think any German cities bans you from having wild gardens. Quite the opposite, some cities consider banning people from replacing front yards with gravel.
Plain old update files maybe.

You name each zip release with a number and a date. For example #1 will be dated today.

Each time you update you increase the # by 1 and mark the date. You provide seperate small update files named #2 update, #3 update. If I had downloaded the full archive #1, I can just download #2 and #3 update and have the latest version.

If I never downloaded the library I can just download the most recent version and then keep it updated using update files.

Ditto. In my 6 years of webdev, I've found that Django ORM and South migrations are a match made in heaven, and really made my life easier - and I'm saying this for not basic crud apps with simple tables and such, but for an ecommerce company with:

- 140+ tables with queries spanning JOINs across 10-11 tables (for which denormalization btw was done around the time I was leaving to make stuff little less complex and fast)

- migrations happening like crazy almost every week due to the amount of features that were getting developed in that time period

- migration reverts also happening
- easy to manage DBs tables for multi tenant apps using Django admin scripts

The reason they ask is that they have to fill a checkbox that says "no MD5" and of course they're don't know that CRC32 is worse

And to be very fair, a lot of security issues would be caught with basic checkbox ticking. Are you using a salted password hashing function instead of storing passwords in plaintext? Are you using a firewall? Do you follow the principles of least privilege?
Internal sites? Set up your own CA infrastructure.
Yes, but I can't imagine scrap metal people like dealing with them.
Some freedom, yes. It's not 0% or 100%.

I'm sure there is already something that is illegal for companies to do or say or censor.

Why not adding one more thing which is fake news?

It's a possible idea that doesn't sound far-fetched.
I was intrigued in your experience as a polygot and was buying your arguments until I read your suggestion to listen to guides then that completely reversed it because almost all the many many guides I've had are definitely not fluent in their non-native language in the same way children gain fluency. Most have broken language in the same way older immigrants have broken language despite the fact that are forced to navigate in their adopted language full-time.
It is based on the same ideas as C++/WinRT, which I am still bitter about, because it represents a productivity drop versus C++/CX as the ones pushing for it are hoping that ISO C++23 eventually gets the features that enables the VS tooling with C++/CX today.

So you are back to manually copying files around and writing IDL files with Notepad like experience as if using ATL style development in 2020.

Most likely C#/WinRT seems to follow the same fate in productivity drop.

Hello HN community. This is Ronak and presenting to you ScanTheMarket(https://scanthemarket.in) a Phoenix LiveView site to compare Fixed Deposits and Housing Loans (India).

After Covid-19 when my consultancy business dried up, I took up this project because I wanted to solve a problem I always had. Having spent a few months developing it, I now realize that making this utility tool financially viable is going to be extremely difficult. I was hoping to get some organic traffic via SEO optimizations but so far the results aren't very pleasing.

Would love to gather feedback on -

1. How could this have been improved?

2. If it was you, what would you have done it differently?

3. How does one improve on SEO and get back-links organically? For an indie founder, the keywords are high on demand and highly competitive.

Thanks a ton

Just buy a good old safety razor. You can then buy some good razor blades for less than 10 cent a piece or buy the probably sharpest blades on the planet: "Feather". They are at slightly less than 30 cent a piece.

No matter what you can easily afford a 100 blade pack which will last forever, create less trash than modern razor blades and with a bit of pratice the shave will be at least as good.

Other blades I can recommend: Derby Premium (black). They are at about 5€-8€ for a 100 and of good quality and sharpness.
