Just checked the box again and it says "cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) 100,000 IU". I believe the prescription is required due to the dosage (100,000 IUs is pretty high).

I could definitely get some D3 from the store, but I am curious if taking a prescription dosage once a month yields the same result as a lower daily dose.

> Bregman's digging into subsequent critiques of the [Milgram] experiment revealed that it was not quite as bad as it seemed: a substantial proportion of the "torturers" had figured out that it was not real. Several more protested that it was wrong. Those who did continue were convinced by the researchers that what they were doing was for the greater good. Bregman, with something of a leap, goes from there to the Holocaust and the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Bregman is horrified by the Holocaust, as anyone who believes in the goodness of humankind must be. He suggests that people will indeed do nasty things on a mass scale if they are convinced that it is for the greater good. It was not inherent nastiness that led to the Holocaust, Bregman suggests, but years of indoctrination.

Himmler complained obliquely in one of his Posen speeches, I believe, about how difficult this indoctrination was to enforce and maintain. While that's not a source I would ordinarily be happy to cite, this complaint in particular seems not without relevance here.

I have, and sometimes it goes well, but you don't hear about those cases.

OTOH, you have to remember that the IRS is already developing a fairly complex bit of software which allows the tax companies to "e-file" the tax returns. Then they are verifying those companies results in house against the data they already have. At which point, apparently the returns are either rejected, or assigned some kind of weight for a human inspector to come along and review for whether a formal audit should be undertaken.

So, its quite possible that cutting out the e-file portion and replacing it with a webUI actually simplifies things.
I created this tool wayyyyy back in 2015 and have used it daily since then, improving it over time.

Well, thanks to the raging pandemic that's eviscerating our very way of life, I found the time to really dive in and make it something I felt good about sharing.

Another reason for people trying too look overly confident is when they are overly exposed over a certain topic.

For example, if you have very narrow job titles and roles in a team ("he is our DevOps, she is our architect"...) everyone will have to defend their role, often trying to sound infallible.

If instead you make the whole team responsible for all team tasks, everyone will be more open to leveraging everyone else's suggestions.

As a further warning, don't even consider utilizing the LinkedIn platform as a creator or community builder. For example, I manage some popular groups, and one day LinkedIn decided that I send too many messages by welcoming new members. Even though their documentation still stated that group managers could message their members without limit, my account kept getting suspended. What did their support tell me? (and I was still paying $100/month at the time) "If you keep sending messages, then you risk being permanently banned." Creating value on the platform, for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users, has no weight at LinkedIn.

> Protesters say they are pro Russia - but in my opinion this is a grave mistake, and Belarus will soon find itself as a Russia-controlled state.

If the protesters said they're against Russian influence, they'd be shot down hard by the Russians (with Lukashenka's assent, obviously) to preserve Belarus as a buffer zone towards the West. If they are pro-Russian / pro-status-quo as far as foreign affairs are concerned, there is at least a (slim) possibility of Putin not keeping Lukashenka in office by any means. But considering previous Russian engagements, it seems extremely unlikely Putin will allow anything other than what he'd consider "stable authoritarianism", because the foreign attachments of a democracy (even a bad one) would be too fluent and thus too risky for him.

For desktop software, and mobile apps without a backend, I agree.

For everything with a backend though, I just don't see how it's a sustainable business model to allow customers to keep using the backend in perpetuity. Of course, a lot of consumers know knowing about the tech that's involved, so as a software engineer I have a different perspective here.

> However, "openness to experience" is much higher, and the most pronounced personality trait in mountain dwellers.

> "Openness is a strong predictor of residential mobility," said Götz. "A willingness to move your life in pursuit of goals such as economic affluence and personal freedom drove many original North American frontier settlers."

> those who left their early mountain home are still consistently less agreeable, conscientious and extravert, although no such effects were observed for neuroticism and openness.

I have difficulty reconciling these statements.

- mountain dwellers have higher openness to experience

- openness to experience is a predictor for residential mobility

- but the people who move away from mountain regions _don't_ have higher openness to experience (but stay disagreeable, unconscientious and introverted)?

I would have expected the selection bias to show up in the other direction: I would expect the people who stay put to have lower openness to experience, and the people who move to have higher openness to experience.

This is probably solvable with Hypothesis and a custom browser extension.

More generally, third-party annotation of web (especially hypertext) resources is an underexplored opportunity. I suspect it’s at least partly because integration isn’t a first-class concern for these sorts of apps (if it were, they’d build it themselves and own the feature and the data), so the experience isn’t that great and the marketing is significantly diluted.
Honestly it's mostly about collocation, which studies have shown to be the most powerful factor in friendship formation. My best long-running friends that I'm still in regular contact with are all people that I met freshman/sophomore year of college because we lived on the same floor in the dorms. Now obviously most of the people on my floor I didn't make friends with, but I did make friends with the ones that I got along with. And yes there's some shared interests involved as part of that, but proximity was more important. I was in the CS major and I actually didn't make a lot of friends in the major at all; we didn't gel well for whatever reason and the classroom environment wasn't suitable for getting to know people. So my college friends ended up being a diversity of majors plus a lot of landscape architecture majors, because my most outgoing friend was in that major and he made a lot of friends in the major because of the nature of it (lots of time spent together in close quarters in the studio doing project work).

So I wouldn't say I've explicitly made many if any friends over shared interests in music, but then once I had friends for whatever other reasons, we shared a lot of music with each other. Hardly any of them weren't "in" to music, and indeed some of them quite the opposite; they ended up in a band together (and I would occasionally incompetently noodle along with them on vocals/bass/guitar, but I wasn't remotely good enough to play out like they were).
It's probably better to link to both. If a site corrects a story, you readers will want to see the correction, but if the page disappears, it's good to have the backup.
> a IRS Tax Software would look more than the universally hated Unemployment Systems, or the government healthcare markets

Consider that your opinion on what is "universally hated" is mostly shaped by the sources of information that you consume. Yours happens to be wrong. Overall the country views ObamaCare ~50% favorably, with some specific parts close to 90% approval.

> Following Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in the summer of 2017, KFF Health Tracking Polls have found a slight uptick in overall favorability towards the 2010 health care law. The most recent KFF Tracking Poll shows over half of the public (52%) hold favorable opinions of the ACA while about four in ten (41%) hold a negative opinion of the law. [1]

> Some 55% of Americans support the ACA, a record high since the law went into effect a decade ago, according to a recent report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, while 37% of the 130,000 respondents in the nationally representative poll hold unfavorable views. [2]

> But the election of Donald Trump and efforts by Republicans to repeal the ACA have boosted the law’s popularity. Since November 2016, on average, 49.4% of the public has had a positive view of the law, compared with 41.6% who view it unfavorably. [3]

There are not very many JDK implementations that don't have OpenJDK sources at their core.

OpenJDK is also treated as the reference implementation, and is where JEP's and things are worked out. Effectively, OpenJDK is "upstream" Java.

"Having this technology available is going to make it easier to develop dev operations around new systems. It’s definitely going to be a big advantage for us going forward"
Take a look at what happened in the 1960's -- a period massively influenced by psychedelics. Our current society is still benefiting from that influence today, including the birth of the environmental movement, the massive influence of psychedelics on music and the arts, etc. Psychedelics also influenced politics in that day, which we all know was very turbulent and radical then.

So the entire culture doesn't have to be overhauled to have a massive influence. During and after the 60's there was a backlash against the counterculture -- a backlash that was ultimately very effective in some ways, and one which continues today, but I do believe a lot of people will start to once again see that another way is possible once psychedelic use becomes more widespread and mainstream. That potential is one of the few things that gives me a sliver of hope about humanity's future.

Hey HN,

We launched on HN 3 years ago and were part of YCW17.
We'd love for you to be a part of our moonshot.

Our master plan is simple:
Develop low cost broadband distribution technology.
Prove it works by connecting one million people in one city.
Once it works, deploy worldwide.

Step 1 done -
We have built a low cost network stack and have lowered the cost of deploying a citywide broadband network from $50m to $5m. We use lasers and commodity components thereby avoiding the core expense at the heart of current ISPs - expensive underground fibre and its associated manpower, heavy capex and regulatory pains.

Ready for scale -
We've run a beta network with thousands of live customers over the last 9 months and we know the tech works. We're now ready to scale across our hometown of Bengaluru with its population of 11m people and less than 10% broadband penetration.

A killer proposition -
We have a killer offering for the customer - 1gbps speed with no data caps at $10/month and a free Wifi Dabba router. This is 10x better and cheaper than anything else on the market. This playbook has been executed successfully in the mobile 4G market in India by Jio, we're applying the same playbook in broadband

Go where no ISP has gone before -
We're taking an AWS-like platform approach to our tech stack, our goal is to deliver deep APIs, network integration points, edge-caching and much more. We believe this approach will result in a whole new class of applications and services for users. We want to be the ISP that developers will love.

The ask -
This is where you come in HN, buy a piece of our network and help shape the future of the internet. We're offering minimum guaranteed revenue, naming rights to your region and a host of other benefits. There are only 70 of 100 regions available. Each region is $20,000.

You can use it for privacy, by ruining the tracking data.
I answered above on a general sense, but this course is Introduction to Computational Thinking. First it's an introduction course, so it's not required experience with any language (you have lessons explaining arrays for example). Second it's a theoretical course (computational thinking, not something like applied data science), not a practical one, so that support is not important here since things are being written from scratch (the second lesson is about convolution, and the exercise is writing the convolution function). You can probably agree that simply using numpy.convolve wouldn't teach as much as writing your own, and writing in Python would end up too slow for the larger images used unless you use Numba/PyPy/Cython (or make less pseudo-code version by vectorizing everything in numpy), all stuff that is not very introductory level.

And Julia does have features besides speed that makes the course better for beginners, for example native multidimensional arrays. Images are just matrices of RGB pixels that you can freely manipulate like you would Python arrays (without the need to learn a library like numpy or any kind of conversion). And Pluto.jl reactive nature allows you to have immediate feedback of everything you change.
