I had the same problem with one more level of abstraction: My wife didn't know she was lying.

My ex-wife lied about everything, and like you it took me years to figure it out. Everything was always someone else's fault (it was my fault she couldn't work, my fault she didn't clean, my fault she didn't cook), she often rearranged the order of events or even fabricated events in their entirety.

Like you, I caught her mother in a bizarre "lie" that unraveled the thing. On XMas eve her mother called very hurt that we hadn't come over for out "traditional Xmas eve." She explained that we just always came over so she didn't think to call and make sure we were coming.

The fact is, I have spent every XMas eve with my own family, we have a tradition of having a party on XMas eve, and I have only missed it once due to being hospitalized. You have to understand the sheer madness of this. She imagined that we were going to come over, convinced herself that we had always done so, and that there was no reason to even let us know she expected us.

This set off alarm bells in my head, I could see that my wife was remembering things that didn't happen or altering events in her head and this was why we could never talk about anything or reach any common ground because we couldn't agree on ground truth.

Eventually I found out she had suffered some trauma, and as a result something called "confabulation" which is more or less a unreliable/false memory.
To even take an educated risk, there would need to be a model of that risk. Fleas are an age-old problem. I simply reject that the risk is high enough if the best evidence for infection risk from vets is “it could happen” when the risk factors are so low.

I’ll consider anecdotes and case reports on a new unknown disease, but not for one that’s been around since antiquity. Or there was research indicating that the risk is low in these circumstances, but it’s suppressed because it’s not the narrative that the study sponsors want anyone to hear.

It happens in human research, I wouldn’t put it past vet research.

I am excited by this development. Snowden is a patriot by becoming a whistle blower. I am also saddened by Obama’s complete refusal to pardon Snowden. Why would Obama who is a progressive leader not pardon Snowden. That was a hard thing for me to swallow. I hope Trump hurries and gets it done asap. Snowden has suffered a lot for his ethical actions. I hope he gets to come home and not suffer anymore.
I suspect it's bad. Any cognitive dissonance and disagreement can be hand waved away as bots, rather than approached critically.

Ever since the 2016 foreign-meddling-in-the-election news, I've see people commenting that there must be tons of russian bots/shills/astroturfers/etc in comments where I see genuine disagreement. I'm sure there are both, but I suspect the dismissal of "'people/opinions' that disagree with me aren't real people/opinions" is more common than the actual act of fake commenting.
Show HN: Quarantines.site – social distancing for web sites and docs
That is, the desire for and apparent need for bicycles comes from having a city built large enough for cars, too large to walk, and then having the cars removed. Where you are miles from your destination and between you and your destination are acres of no-place, nothing nice to travel through, nothing interesting to do.

In a city built small enough to walk, bicycles are unwanted and unneeded extra hassle, and when you occasionally do have to walk a couple of extra miles it's through a vibrant, busy, maybe even beautiful, human space not concrete void.

"It should be obvious that it is better to not need a bike than to need one. [...] we should not think about bikes-instead-of-cars, but rather getting over this unhealthy fixation on My Personal Transportation Device"

> (Note that while it's relatively trivial to convert from sentence case to title case in English[...])

Strictly speaking you can't do that either:

"I et some food".totitle = "I Et Some Food"

I suspect that fails less often though.
One might argue that stoicism would be one such case, though I don't think it developed techniques anywhere near as sophisticated as those of Eastern traditions.

As for Buddhism, which is at the root of what most people mean by "meditation" today, calling it a religion is a bit problematic because it doesn't involve worshiping gods and, in theory at least, is not supposed to be primarily faith based. Both of those things: god worship and faith seem so fundamental to the western concept of religion that applying that term uncritically to Buddhism seems ill-founded.

He published Some Remarks on Logical Form in 1929. It's been 10 years since I was reading Wittgenstein, but my recollection is that work was still Tractarian. The blue and brown books came in the 30s.

I can sympathize with them. I did one project using microservice and tdd with a team of 4 devs. It wasn't my architecture. It takes 6 months to deploy a minimum functionality apps, that I'm confident that with monolith, it'll take 1-2 months to get the same level of functionality.

Microservices are very complex, especially if you don't know the domain beforehand. Most of the time, the additional complexity brings more harm than the benefit.
I agree. I live in SF and hate driving in the city. 95% of my in-city transportation is walking and biking.

But my quality of life went way up once I bit the bullet and got a car. Skiing, surfing, and hiking all became way easier. I was already occasionally renting cars to do those things, but the friction of picking up/returning the cars and the marginal cost of each trip were big drags. Now I don't think twice about a 1-2 week long backpacking trip, where previously I would have been dissuaded by that expensive rental car sitting unused in the parking lot.
This is great functionality.
But on the other hand I already had Meizu MX4 Ubuntu based phone. Apart of bad network reception, main issue was lack of application support, literally I was struggling with simplest application. On positive note I could to development and bash very easy...
>If you go the handcrafted, lightweight and fast route, you're sacrificing a lot of features, possibly without even being aware of what you lose until it's too late.

Some modern languages offer memory safety and very very high performance ceilings as well, if you are willing to learn how and work at. Examples include, C#, Rust, F#, and Nim. There are others!

And any language, taking some time to understand performance pitfalls, and leveraging the language the best you can, can make a huge difference. Sometimes without any major maintenance or dev time penalty. It just takes caring, and practice.
One argument is that externalities aren't usually linearizable or localizable, so any attempt to tax them will result in loopholes that are patched with...you guessed it, more laws with their own loopholes growing into an insurmountable lovecraftian horror.

Elaborating on the nonlinearizability, on a global scale it doesn't matter if a single person (or an entire city) drives 100 miles to work each day. In isolation their decision to drive has an externality of approximately $0 (wrt carbon). It's only a problem because of the global scale involved -- as an extremely simplistic (and wrong) model for the sake of fitting into a HN comment, there's a fuzzy cutoff point in total carbon production rates below which externalities are small and above which they're devastating and grow rapidly (and superlinearly). Adopting the obvious scheme of dividing total costs by total production, adding a healthy margin to further disincentivize carbon, and assigning that value as an externality tax (which gets updated periodically to never be too inaccurate) won't actually suffice to keep carbon production below the critical threshold because the marginal taxation of externalities for a unit of carbon is substantially less than the marginal externality itself.

Underlying the above example is something that should be obvious to programmers -- not all problems can be efficiently solved by assigning a local value function to autonomous agents. In the case of people we value autonomy as a right in and of itself independently of its ability to benefit the whole, so many potential global optimizations are left on the table, but at the point where we need to enact taxes or legislation to prevent a global problem (e.g. the carbon issue) the illusion of autonomy no longer exists, and we might as well go straight for a solution that has a chance of working (e.g. carbon credits could work if implemented correctly) rather than handicapping ourselves with attempts to adjust our local reward function like trying to tax the externalities.
Aren’t most SIM cards today use over the air provisioning since networks employ thin provisioning theses days?
That's fair! I do acknowledge conceit in my comment, but you can attribute that to my jealously (as an eastern seaboarder) of the landscapes of the American West.
You can't copyright a national flag, but this is not really a national flag - it represents the First Nation people of Australia and Torres Strait - but they do not have sovereignty.

Much as they deserve it.

Therefore this whole despicable episode comes off as a cynical, racist attempt to deny the original land owners their rightful identity.
> we shouldn't implement the policy because it infringes people's freedoms

Not remotely similar. Freedom is a political construct. It makes a great purpose for policy, but "because freedom" is a lousy argument.

The fact that face masks work is a good argument to study what effects it has on the general population. It is not a good argument to base policy on, especially not out of context. By the precautionary principle, we should not make things mandatory where the outcome is not known.

There are numerous examples, for example on how to treat premature infants, where good ideas were made policy which actually worsened the outcome. The same low risk argument could have been made, but side effects were in fact unknown and babies died unnecessarily often.

> We have a lot of reasons to think a policy like that would be effective. It's cheap and low risk, so why not implement it?

The same is true for mandatory bike helmets. They're cheap and low risk. Turns out that doesn't make for good policy. The similarities are more than superficial.

Let me phrase that differently: The argument is bad because the risk is not low, it is unstudied. There are several easily identifiable side effects that might well increase the spread of the virus.
I recently started working on my own portfolio site, and I wanted to include a blog. I considered Wordpress to be way too overkill for what I needed, plus I wanted to write my own theme. Plenty of flat-file CMS software options exist, which would probably be more like what the writer needs.

Many here mention Publii which perplexed me when I saw it (a desktop app posing as a CMS which is just an SSG) but I guess the writer would actually be the perfect target audience for that.

I recently settled on Bludit since the web admin is very quick to get writing and still takes care of all the extra meta tags and fields without getting in the way of the writing, which is easy enough that I've installed it for some websites where non-tech people are using it just fine. Totally lamenting the lack of templating language but I've been managing.

It's very odd that blog software for the layman tends to require so much setup and flat file CMS software are approximating but not quite achieving a dead simple setup and usage.
I’ve read this elsewhere. Why do you think so?

Mobian seems to be closest to upstream there is, so it should have the best support (assuming stuff gets backported).
The Australian government won't get involved because to do so would give more credence to the First Nation people of Australia establishing sovereignty ..
To be fair, POWER is an open standard, and there's absolutely nothing stopping someone like Linode, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner from offering POWER-based systems at a smaller hourly price.

The posted article is one of 20 articles forming a 20 year retrospective on what happened as a result of the 361 "completed" RFCs that were a primary driver of what became Raku.

The articles typically include links and quotes to the originals, and discussion of how the suggestions of the RFCs transformed into aspects of Raku. It looks like this one missed out the links, so thanks for adding one!
There is hardly anything in this article on the influence of the Black Sea on the Mediterranean world. The article is a review of a book on Mithridates and the Kingdom of Pontus (which had a lot of contact with the Mediterranean states).
> You can't claim copyright on something you copied, you have to be the original creator.

Depending on jurisdiction and when copyright was claimed (laws change) that is not necessarily true. In USA use to be first to file was awarded the copyright. Also in USA, for instance, copyright is granted for collections, organizations, arrangements or compositions of pre-existing things. Such a photographer can claim copyright on photo of a bridge. Or editor for a collection of public domain poems.

Ask HN: What Internet based checking account do you recommend?
I'm shopping for a new checking account. My only requirements are:

* Website with good UX and handy features like CSV exports
* I'd like to avoid ATM fees
* Accepts direct deposits - I imagine all banks do this
* Support outbound ACH transfers
* A US based call center - or at least a well trained offshore call center
* Paper checks

Not a factor
* I do not have to worry about maintaining a minimum balance
* I'd rather better service than a good interest rate on my deposits

Red Flags?
While shopping around, are there any red flag anti-features that I should try to avoid?

Are there any specific banks that I should avoid?

Final note:
I've done a bit of reading on sites like Nerd Wallet and Bankrate. But their reviews don't really provide the knowledge that I am looking for.

All frequencies of light will transfer heat. UV light can cause damage to DNA because it's energetic enough to be ionizing (it can detach electrons). IR light is not ionizing, but we associate it with heat because the black-body radiation of things we generally interact with (humans and stovetops, for example) is mostly in the infrared spectrum. The sun is much hotter and emits light in IR, visible and UV spectrum.

I'm not sure quite what you mean by "analyze".

Whatever meaning you're using, there is something called "Tarski's theory of truth", it uses formal tactics extensively, and describes how to do formal semantics for a language.
I see it as beneficial spreading agro for the room. The camera man plays a major role in this immediate-proximity-social-attention-fluctuation. Before cameras were palm sized, and after they were a novelty (before mass produced television), they were large and bright lights were needed. This meant that the camera direction is what we're all supposed to be paying attention to. Holding the microphone also delivers this same cue (directing any flow once others ping to join this sudden "focus" since the guys with the mic and camera with large light have now shown up to the gathering).

In all of "All Gas No Brakes" videos, the context is a crowd assembly. Since the interviewer is mostly holding the microphone in front of a crowd member, both in the middle of the event and off to the side for personal interviews, there is opportunity for "anyone who wants to broadcast." But it is not a news network van pulling up.

It is a similar format, but without restrictions. People are comfortable with parody and satire in his presence - anything goes because you have the audience of a neutral observer. He does have a duty to guide the conversation with the occasional steering prompt you refer to, and it has a rhythm to it.

Much of the content is edited monologue footage, and that is the opportunity he grants them with unconditional attentiveness.
It was very much not 'just a knot': it was very clearly a noose, and as I already mentioned, it was confirmed at the time that only that single garage stall out of all of them at every NASCAR track had the pull rope tied in that way.

Okay you've eliminated your browser engine building cost by switching Firefox to Chromium. Now how do you make profit off of Chromium?

My point is that there was no profit model around Firefox so switching engines is negligible. The cost of building said engine is also going to be negligible to the profit returned from the browser. In Google's case this is true. In Mozilla's case they have no model and never had one to subsidize that cost (other than Google search money). Changing base engines turns Firefox into a hobby project managed by a FOSS rather than a serious competing project in the browser-verse.
Launch HN: Honest feedback on recently released product
I'm looking for genuine feedback on the product my team recently released. For context, our product, Kahana, is a useful tool designed for minimalist writers who are constantly researching and connecting ideas.

Allow me to explain. Originally, my co-founder and I wanted to make something that would help high school seniors write college essays in a more efficient and streamlined way. The problem we saw was that organizing all of the necessary documents for writing essays (prompts, drafts, notes, etc.) was frustrating, so we wanted to create something that would enable students to easily perform actions that they would commonly run into (e.g., comparing drafts, copy/pasting materials from previous essays into a new draft).

However, as we iterated on the idea, we realized that we had uncovered a much broader pain point - currently technology is subtly restrictive. At the highest level, keeping track of windows and tabs is frustrating, and clicking between things is annoying. Limited screen space on a computer results in a cluttered mess of squished windows and minimized files.

And from this pain point, Kahana was born. After months of iteration, in February 2020, we joined forces with a technical co-founder who could help us bring the product into existence. From there, it took us about 2 months to begin giving access to a core group of Alpha users.

And that brings us to where we are today. After more iteration and bug fixes from initial testing, we opened up our product to the public with a limited preview release. We wanted to do so to get as much constructive feedback as possible and see how people we didn't know would react to the product. And that is why I am here - if this is something you might be interested in checking out, I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts and perspectives! And as a heads up, we are working on implementing a free trial to give people the chance to try it.

Thank you so much in advance.

I struggled a lot too. I think the main issue is the problem domain in which these languages excel at.

I like compilers, systems programming, distributed systems... but math? statistics? I'm admittedly terrible at that and find it really uninteresting. It doesn't help that most literature on J tries to teach its language concepts showing you how to solve math problems. I have no need for a fancy calculator.

For what it's worth, I like K and Klong and found them very approachable. Basically because you can get away by writing Scheme with m-expressions.
