I will second this - I haven't used soap or shampoo for 3 years except for hands. I use a stick deodorant.

It all started when my favorite hair conditioner was discontinued! I spent unhappy months trying to find a replacement. That got me to thinking, and wondering why I was spending so much money on product, killing my skin biome, and sending all that product down the drain.

At first I had to get used to my skin feeling a little stickier than I liked. Now I don't notice at all. When I don't regularly work out and work up a sweat, my hair and ears will tend to get a bit greasy. I also find I keep my hair a bit shorter. Showers are much faster.

My closest companion doesn't complain about any smell, but she also doesn't tell me anymore that my hair smells good.

I was just going to try it out for a while, but now I am sure it's permanent.
> measured as funds put to use versus overhead

This is generally a poor way to measure the 'effectiveness' of a charity. The amount of overhead is irrelevant; if a charity is doing 100x more good per dollar than the next best charity, you should donate to it regardless of how much the CEO earns.

Possibly, it still has the expectation that all parties are online to some degree which isn't something we have in Bitcoin today, where signatures can be added even years after the fact when needed. None of this is killer or a reason to not use Schnorr, it's just not quite as much of a magic bullet as people originally expected. To my knowledge this wasn't a very well known property until anybody had implemented it for bitcoin, I doubt it was ever used once it was patented.

> Types almost always overconstrain

Not in my experience; so many, basically, stringy types.

> Each part of your code relies on some very specific properties of your data,

So then you either have a type that exposes those you need or you have different types for different functions.

> yet most type systems end up restricting your function to only work

Again, I don't understand this statement; someone implemented the types to fit the data for some functions they needed. How does the 'type system restrict' anything?

For the example I simply took to a random, recently updated file from Symfony:

Maybe it's a different experience for you, but the IPCC reports are much better than what's permeated mainstream culture around me. I consistently see people saying that we've gotta stop having children, that the Earth can't support modern industrial civilization, that in 100 years we won't be able to grow enough food and half the planet will starve. The IPCC reports don't suggest anything nearly this bad.

I understand but that’s a strange hope a bit based on his twitter bring too right-wing or libertarian than he would prefer, yet those beliefs are actually very consistent with a lot of Satoshi’s known leanings and beliefs. The block zero comment is pretty libertarian for example and many of his comments on email lists are also. So it’s a bit illogical for the OP to hope for otherwise.
That's what I said. Your can withdraw consent (which you never gave), or tell them that you like color purple more than you like red, but it will have no effect since it's not the basis for processing it. The privacy policy should list what data they collect and for what reason.

However if they process your e-mail for several purposes based on different legal basis (for instance they also use e-mail for marketing purposes), they should stop using it for these reasons which you requested (for instance - all applicable) where consent was the basis for processing.

The headline is a non-sequitur of the finding, which says that if GDP growth was equal to salary growth, the median salary would be $102,000.

That has nothing to do with income inequality. GDP itself is a problematic figure, but its relation to income is rather loose.

If everybody earned the mean income, that would be perfect income equality. For the US, mean household income is around $72,000, whereas median household income is around $62,000.

Not surprising considering that the vast majority of people just use their smartphone as their digital camera. Both companies did just fine in the transition to digital, it was the transition to mobile that they lost out in.

I am a software engineer who is learning sales. The one, perhaps most important thing I can share is this:

Practice Sales. Do not just read about it.

It is just like software engineering, if you only read and do not type, you will not be able to connect the dots. The brain has a way to learn and it is through doing. Remember, there are way more people you can sell to (assuming even a few are willing to buy) than you think. Even if the first 500 people have super low conversation rates, do not worry. There are perhaps 50K more people for a niche idea.

It does not matter what strategies you apply - but be persistent, and measure the results. Keep making small experiments and see for yourself. Put them in a Spreadsheet if you have to. Everything from timing of a message or email to the description of the person (on Twitter) you are reaching out to matters. And do not feel SHY or awkward to sell. Engineers really suffer from this. Do not push, be when you know your solution can really help, then ask them to try it out.

Cheers!

But this place, clearly has form in making threats and getting the Thai legal system involved against negative reviewers.

That could as easily be the case, and seems more likely.

The focus of industrial development for a long time has been focussed on the processes, or the verbs, not the things, or the nouns.

Focusing on the Nouns and the types of those Nouns lets you understand what states they can be in and more importantly, the ones they cannot be in. By using types as much as possible to express those invariants and constraints, you can make sure that the processes don't do something that they shouldn't.

Proving software correct is a very complicated and, as yet, unsolved in most practical cases. Strong typing and strong type systems are a step in that direction.

If a compiler ensures that a sum type's possible values are always exhaustively matched, then you can be sure that the processing at least considers all of the possible values.

That leads to positive results when programming.

If you use Option types and then ensure that the None type is handled, the possiblity of nulls is dramatically reduced, if not eliminated.

If immutability is enforced, that removes the possibility of inadvertent modification, especially somewhere deep in a call stack. That leads to safer concurrency, which is an absolute requirement for using the compute capacity to its fullest extent.

Strong typing like this isn't "overwrought", it's making sure that your code doesn't do something to a thing that it shouldn't do.
I came to the exact same conclusion as you.

I can see this working nicely in relaxed companies that are comfortable waiting for the signed keys to expire (but those companies probably also won't like the inconvenience of expiring keys).

With that said, there is an advantage, in that a revoked key will eventually expire even if the cronjob breaks.

I noticed this last week with UPS (while being summarily screwed with unapproved brokerage fees... something there’s already been a class action suit about if you’re listening UPS).

To log in you have to go to the register/login page but that only brings you to a register page and the sign in page is actually a small link on that page to get to the point where you can enter your existing credentials to pay the fees they weren’t supposed to charge without explicit approval before they turn your package around to the originating country...

Americans, please use your USPS. They always have delivered on time, often early, and without so much clumsiness. Especially here in Canada—they work seamlessly with Canada Post.

> The air in a modern home is often so dry that my nose start running the minute I enter. I don't want to live in that sort of climate.

In cold climates, the ability to safely humidify a house depends mainly on having good enough insulation and air sealing that the indoor humidity doesn’t condense on cold surfaces and rot the building. This is especially relevant near windows.

So if you want decent indoor humidity when it’s genuinely cold out, you want double- or triple-paned windows with insulated edges, proper air sealing near the windows, and possibly even an energy recovery ventilator.

(Or you can live in an old house, spend stupid amounts of money to heat it all the way to 63 degrees for a few hours a day, be cold and dry, and wonder what the heck anyone was thinking when they designed their single-pipe steam heating system.)

P.S. It is supposedly possible to properly design a single pipe steam heating system that achieves a comfortable temperature in more than one room. If so, I have never seen such a thing.

> [speaking about system engineering] [...] some end up enjoying it and switching to systems engineering entirely. They’re then mostly freed from other tasks such as the expectation to “fix something on the frontend”

wipes laughing tears yeah, no. If you control the entire stack, people who are responsible for each part of the stack are writing you emails, all day, every day. Who patches the ansible-playbooks when changes in the frontend need to be made ad hoc? Or implements ad-hoc-fixes while the actual frontend-team patches their repo?

I'm going at the idea that Tesla is a luxury car maker that is odd to compare to VW. Tesla is very comparable to mainstream brands if fit and finish are taken to matter.
My experience here is that humor (especially deadpan) tends to land very poorly on HN, both because people are never contextually expecting it and because they tend to downvote it when they do recognize it, as they dislike perceived low effort comments that they don't feel are meaningfully contributing to the discussion (i.e. adding noise, not signal). HN may as well put "Don't try to be funny" in the FAQ, because it almost never works out.
Maybe this will be true when there is a good alternative electric vehicle. Until then, Tesla is the only one.
Eh? In my experience logs are some of the most valuable data produced by software.

Thought experiment: Lets say you live the life of a random human throughout all time, both past and future. That is one data point, but one data point can tell us quite a lot still. So lets say you start your life, and you notice that the human population had just expanded exponentially to 100 times what it usually was, what would you assume will happen in the future?

If the future will hold millions of years with humanity prospering on earth with roughly current population number then picking a human born today is very small, it is like winning the lottery.

If humanity expands quadratically to other solar systems then the chance of being born today is basically none.

The most likely scenario would be that human population is currently at its peak and the population will within not that many generations dwindle down to almost nothing and probably go extinct.
Have you tried responding with "Thank you, but I am not interested, Dick!"?
Teslas don't benefit the environment. For every Tesla sold, they are given pollution credits which they sell to other auto manufacturers to let them pollute more. So, there's no climate advantage to buying Tesla vs. some other car. And given their profligate spending (which generates a lot of carbon) and inefficiencies of manufacturing (headcount/car ratio much higher than the industry average) there may even be a climate disadvantage.
I'm pushing back on the idea that comparing Tesla to VW is somehow generous to VW.

Sorry anecdata isn't data. You might be able to write more code in terms of LOC but you're also writing tests that a strongly typed system wouldn't need.

You don't know that your code is "equally robust". You don't know what sort of "drop in quality" you have because you're not using strong types.

You are making a judgement that isn't backed by anything other than intuition.

There might be a new law which requires data on customers in germany to collect your transaction data for 10 years rather than 5 years. They can't apply it retroactively to data which they already had no right to process (for instance 7 years-old transactions at the time when the law required 5 years), but they can (and have to) apply to a transaction you did 3 years ago (which will now be held for 7 years rather than 2).

They might also lessen the amount of data they hold on you, maybe after a review of what they actually needed.

I agree they should not send you anything if they store no data whatsoever, but if they do - they should probably inform you about changes in their privacy policies, even if they don't affect you personally.

This is fascinating.

Tesla needs as much driving data as possible.

Every of order of magnitude makes it that much harder for competitors to reach.

>> Plus, I look around me and wonder, "Who actually listens to the radio nowadays?"

Guessing you don’t drive/commute? Tons of commuters here in Canada still listen to the radio every morning on the way to work.

It’s almost an ancient ritual that; for the most part, hasn’t changed up here in Canada, and for those who do use streaming services or whatever it’s usually a combination of both.

There is something comforting about listening to the morning DJ talk bullshit in the morning, traffic directions that are up to date and don’t require you to look at a screen in your car, and often a fine enough selection of music for those whose tastes aren’t too refined. Which is a surprising amount of people.

There are sometimes even ‘water cooler’ stories about anecdotes from Roz + Mocha (our most popular morning radio DJ hosts) - it’s a thing - the place the radio lost the most of ground is honestly at-home and/or portable use, which was never as huge as its use in automobiles anyway. :)

Radio play is also still a holy grail for musical artists like myself, and I’ve put a solid amount of effort into trying to get each single on the air. It’s slightly easier to do up here in Canada due to local laws regarding a % of Canadian content that must be on air. :)
