I take cold showers. They do virtually nothing for me except if I am extremely sleepy.

"make a continuous effort to face the uncomfortable"

That's not the Buddhist teaching. The Buddhist teaching is apathy to everything via lack of desire.

"but with the goal of reaching full detachment (Nirvana). You can also do both together."

The stated goal of Buddhism is lack of desire. The stated goal of modern meditation is a reduction in cortisol/blood pressure(source: Altered Traits) and improvements in the frontal cortex(source: Kelly McGonigal). Neither of these work better than medicine for the former or say, athletic training, for the latter.

Meditation is magic to HN. It's weird. I am also sure 90% of people claiming it's magic have it done it for a week of something - if you did it long enough, you would know it does nothing.

Bring the downvotes (though I challenge you to try to reply what you disagree with, if you do). The author of Altered Traits, who spent a lifetime researching meditation, still ended up taking blood pressure meds after his retreats failed to lower his BP.
Agreed, your bone tissue effectively has mini piezoelectric sensors, the more mechanical pressure you apply on them the more you signal for tissue 'reinforcement', this leads to an increased _density_ (not growth) of the bone tissue in that region.

Bone _growth_ during childhood and early adulthood is mostly hormone regulated AFAIK.

There is nothing that I know that supports that earlier claim that chewing hard things makes your jaw bone 'grow'.

Utilities are regulated very differently from "traditional" public companies so you're going to end up with answers around that (which is fine if it's what you intended just giving you a heads up).

The network effect[1] means anyone is not perfectly able to start a competitor. Well, they can start one, but it is not like starting a competing store or restaurant.

The comparison to the CCP does seem like an unnecessary stretch. Yelp’s new feature is bad enough on its own. The comparison to the CCP gilds the lily.

There's a meme I've seen going around.

"Socialism never works."

"Norway is socialist and they're doing great."

"They're not socialist! They're capitalist countries with strong welfare systems."

"Then let's adopt those policies!"

"No, that's socialism!"
One has to trust Yelp to think this sort of thing would work as proposed, and I don't see a lot of trust for Yelp out there.

There is also the possibility of unintended effects. Don't care for people of different skin tones? Look for a restaurant flagged as racist by Yelp. Get called on it? Point out, accurately if disingenuously, that nobody really trusts Yelp.
The steel is still steel a hundred years later. Anyway life time co2 is bounded by project cost.

E.g. If you bought coal/gas for the cost of the project how much co2 and energy would you produce.

Most estimates are about 3 to 6 months to recover energy used to produce a wind turbine.
No, that’s not how utilities work.

Also I didn’t see where anyone in the article said they were removing listings.

I've always used it as my homepage / page to check the news. It was an unpretentious news aggregator with a comments section where you could check to get the details which the articles neglected to mention.

Lately they've shut down the comments section most of the news is delivered via opinion pieces from HuffPost, Daily Best, The Independent, The Guardian. A great shame... not sure what a good replacement would be.
I guess this is often true, but not always.

For example, the Netherlands is essentially one big river-delta at the end of two of the major rivers of Europe. This makes it flat and windy. Ideal for windpower (in fact, we had an early lead on the UK in terms of industrialization with our windmills, but then they figured out how to use coalpower and took over). Also, being a river delta, the Netherlands contained extremely fertile soil that lends itself very well to agriculture (the flat landscape doesn't hurt either). Hence we're also one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

And even in the Netherlands, where windmills are part of the national culture, you got tons of NIMBYs
Removing US regime change could very well bolster other "western-style democracies,"
Not the GP, but yes, definitely. If a store or brand has collaborations with the wrong people etc., that's definitely a reason to not shop there. I don't find Joe Rogan terrible enough to cancel my spotify subscription, but if they started collaborating with say Alex Jones, I'd find another streaming service in a heartbeat.
Most green energy isn't feasible for today's power needs in the first world. We can't store it and they cost a lot to build in comparison to it's counter parts of coal and natural gas plants. And no more capital funding it won't fix it. Power companies hate them cause they just suck.
When Netflix first came out with streaming, there was certainly the Netflix effect. You mention Breaking Bad, they didn't take off until they were added to Netflix, so people could catch up on the past seasons. Same thing happened with Shameless from Showtime.
Could you cite a source that says that toxins are dumped into the stomach in particular? I’m not very educated in anatomy but I’ve never heard of the lymphatic system interacting with the digestive system in this way. Thank you!
While there are examples of shows that needed some time to find their footing (S1 of ST:TNG was mostly pretty forgettable), I don't in general find the powering through season after season until the audience drops off model of TV series especially admirable.

To be honest, even if the show stays strong, you start to hit the 6th and 7th season of 20x1hr seasons and I've probably lost interest. I know there are people who would be happy for their favorite shows to just keep going year after year because they're old friends but I'm not one of them.
I always thought that these techniques only work because they use multiple viewpoints of the same object (with the same lightning), can infer topography from these and then, knowing that, can "figure out" the lighting.
Would be nice to know how well this would work with just very few images, maybe even with different positions, let alone a single image.
With regard to Game of Thrones, I don't think the article argues that it necessarily got better in quality season by season but that it took a couple of seasons to find a massive viewership and become a cultural phenomenon. That said, I think the quality did improve between season 1 and 5.

And I vehemently disagree with the notion that "almost all shows get significantly worse". There are definitely many shows that do jump the shark at some point and significantly drop in quality. On the flip side, there are many examples of shows that needed a couple of seasons to find their tone and really hit their stride which they most likely never would have had the chance to do at Netflix. E.g: Parks and Recreation, Community, Justified, even Breaking Bad imho.
You do not actually need to see Lisp-code at all. In Musimp you could write a macro in Algol, but you had to understand properties of the S-code. Thus you would write 1+2 as LIST('+,1,2) which was then printed out as [+,1,2], +(1,2) or 1+2 depending on the situation and properties of the symbol '+.
Then you should petition the government to break up their monopolies.

Lived and worked in San Francisco for over 25 years. The last decade I lived in the East Bay, we wanted to buy property and felt the most financially responsible place was there.

We left in 2018.

Having lived there for so long I thought I had seen everything. There was always an atmosphere of drugs in the air, homeless people, crazies on the street... but San Francisco was the city I had grown to love and you took the good with the bad.

I'm not exactly sure when it started but you kind of iterate here and there and somehow we got to the point that is just wasn't safe any longer. I had to walk that line at Civic Center BART at 6:30am and there was nothing but bad things happening on either side of you. Needles all over the street. EVERYWHERE. People on the street bend over for half hour at a time high on heroine or fentanyl or whatever. Anyway, you've all seen it... it became too much for even a pretty forgivable long term resident to put up with and we ended up in Austin. Well, outside Austin in the suburbs (our equivalent of the East Bay I guess). FWIW Austin is starting to head in the same direction so we chose to stay outside of Travis County, but that's just me having felt burnt once and not caring to have it happen again. Anyways, digressing...

I worry about San Francisco.

54% of businesses have been closed for months, and there's no end in sight.

Lots of tech companies are going fully remote.
https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/companies-switching-remot...

Tech companies are starting to pull out of high dollar SF leases.
https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Pinterest-terminate-...

Most people live in San Francisco because there is a lot of fun stuff to do (not the case right now) and there are tons of job in tech (these are all starting to leave, or go remote first anyway). So there's no real reason to live in San Francisco any longer. Not right now anyway.

Don't take my word for it, SF rents have "cratered" 31% over the past year.

Sales tax income is crashing because people are straight up leaving.
https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/S-F-sales-tax-d...

So given the dynamic of more crime (due to lack of prosecution), more homeless because the City allows tents everywhere, less workforce from companies going remote, less income from sales tax, less income from commercial real estate, and a rental market that's crashing... Well, it's not looking great, now is it.

There's another crisis that will hit after this, and that's the real estate market. All of these variables will play into that, and if they don't turn it around real soon it's going to be apocalyptic. The good news, that's not happening yet.

I'm not saying I'm an expert or anything, but you look around and you have to wonder how long that will be the case.

Best of luck, San Francisco. You're going to need it.

Looking to write free content SEO in exchange for honest feedback
Hi there,
A friend and I are building a tool for content marketers to help them write articles that will rank highly for specific keywords on Google. We're still in stealth, but our initial case studies have gone well. We're looking to write more content to prove the effectiveness of our tool.

If you're interested in having us write an article for you, just reply with:

-URL where you'd be publishing the article

-search term that you want to optimize your content for

-approximate number of monthly visitors your site gets currently

We're targeting a 72-hour turn around time, but it honestly depends on the number of requests we get.
Tips to Make Home Look Expensive
This is a view on a very specific society you may be exposed to. Some counterexamples: morris dancing where organisations were/are pushing for men-only dancing, dancing related to folk/military (see the (in)famous "Russian soldiers dancing" Twitter) and a lot of dancing-with-weapons, early Tango with male only dancing, and honestly too much African dance culture to go into here with men-specific dances. Check out the ratios in street dance event videos on YouTube. See the teenagers practicing dance moves in groups in your city. It's the reverse. The modern European population and "guys don't dance" doesn't generalise.

I grew up in an environment where boys dancing was made fun of and I didn't realise liking to dance is an option. Some exposure to the world corrected that.
I wonder if that could help with tinnitus?
Analysis I have seen of the effect of streaming on programming choices has been the direct opposite of this:

1. Unlike network television, space isn't limited, so you can make a good show which will only appeal to 20% of the audience.

2. The amount people watch doesn't affect revenue, just whether they renew or not. So it's now better to make one show that someone will really love, than seven shows that they will be vaguely into, but see as interchangeable with seven others on a different platform.

If anything, I think Netflix originals are overoptimised for creating cult hits along niche audiences.
Why yes, I do apply the same purity test in every aspect of my life.

Your analogy is intellectually dishonest and uninspired.
Where do you see that? I can find it anywhere in the release notes or the Downloads-page.
prob they can measure speed at a higher accuracy than one mm/s, also orbit have a relatively low inclination difference and objects have a size, so that the impact area is not a point but a larger ellipses of varying overlap between bodies.
Anthology shows might be a decent balance between the two. At least personally an existing show has to be getting really good reviews for me to care enough to catch up on previous seasons, but if it's possible to jump right into season 3 then I'd be more inclined to check it out.

IIRC American Horror Story had increased viewership in the 2nd and then again in the 3rd season, but it did eventually go downhill. Ryan Murphy shows are also pretty weird though, it would be nice to see the seasonal anthology format in broader contexts. I'm optimistic about the Haunting of Hill House series but that's again horror.
> As this is a PEP, I assume this will come in any case?

A PEP is just a proposal. The index (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0000/) lists about 170 PEPs that are abandoned, withdrawn or rejected.
> Still, I find it troubling that a single private US company is basically “using up” a particular orbital elevation without other countries getting a say in it.

Space is big enough. They aren't using it up. They create some minor burden for space objects tracking and mission planning, but you could still fit the same orbital band with many more constellations, and other nations/companies will be able to do so if they so choose.

The rise of gene-based identification of cell types, allowing for much more fine-grained understanding of how the cells are connected and develop than morphological identification alone, is a pretty good start I'd say.
I looked at the dizzying list of install options, then noticed pip at the top. After installing into a virtual environment, I found a tutorial that said to run the vd command. I wasn't sure if pip would install a command in my path, and it didn't. I tried to run it as python -m visidata, and got a ModuleNotFoundError for _curses.

Is it possible to get this thing running on Windows, or do I need to do it under WSL (or another computer)? Google turned up a package called UniCurses "with syntax close to that of the original NCurses."

Edit: I found Windows wheels for curses here:

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses

And there is a visidata.exe in the virtual environment, which I presume is equivalent to the vd command.
Agreed. What has happened in the last 75 years is historically new:

1. The growth of information/knowledge (the Information Age) jobs, which are now the majority of all jobs in the U.S.

2. The growth of remote work tools (the jury is out on how productive people are remotely at the moment, but new tech will drive this soon so that you will be just as or almost as effective in your kitchen or local coffee shop)

3. The growth of global transportation (the Jet Age) that allows previously localized diseases to spread globally in hours, instead of months or years

These factors are new and together likely presage a historic shift in how and where people work.

Ironically, except for this market adjustment in larger cities, the ability for people to work productively in other locations will put continuing downward pressure on the cost of living in cities as people leave, and probably hit some sort of equilibrium at some point soon.

... all this to mean that you should sell your investment properties in the Tenderloin ;)
This ignores time dilation for the traveler.

After 70 days 18 hours and 10 minutes at 5g you reach 0.9999c, time dilation at that speed is over 70x. Which means what looks like 30 years for us at earth only takes 30years/70 = ~ 5 months +70 days (if we ignore the time dilation leading up to 0.9999c) for the traveller.

If you have a space ship that can accelerate at 5 g constantly, you can travel to the nearest black hole in lees than a year. In your reference frame
I think you may be underselling binge-watching.

Lost was a watershed moment in many ways, even though JJ Abrams couldn’t stick the landing. They rushed out the DVDs of season 1 about a month before the season 2 premiere, giving people time to binge the whole show (even the pirates). As long as the streaming services keep the back catalog around, you can always catch up.
I have forgotten which show, but there was a network show I stopped watching because they only had the last six episodes on their app. Once I fell seven episodes behind, I didn’t want to keep going, having missed a chunk of the story arc.

There’s a certain level of curiosity for a show that has survived, say, six seasons. They must have something there if they keep going. Maybe I should check it out? Especially if I’m out of other stuff. But is it going to have a satisfying final episode, peter out, or end ina cliff hanger? The more seasons, the higher the likelihood for a wrap up. Two season shows almost always end abruptly.
My understanding is that the chain reaction would occur over a period over years or decades.

Yahoo's business model is incoherent, so it's hard to make a coherent case for or against killing that comment section. Maybe there's no commercial value in owning a lower tier (in terms of cultural equity) discussion board.

Trying to reform an online community is a bastard of a task. What's the upside?

Anyway, its notable that a "social media" of that scale got killed, and most people who know about these things barely noticed. Journalists are on twitter. Their fiends are on fb. They check reddit, even 4chan to see what the fringes are saying. I doubt most journalists are even aware when their own article "blows up on Yahoo News." It's almost embarrassing.

I suspect that fb/zuck have an eye on this kind of thing though. They are massive, and mass is very valuable in the modern economy. But they have been migrating down the rungs of cultural equity... and Zuck knows this is dangerous.

FB started at harvard, then Ivey leagues, then colleges, then the world. We've seen this pattern multiple times. Get the important people, then get everyone. Tinder, Quora and others did this perfectly.

But... beware the "Yahoo effect." Move too low down the social ladder (for lack of a better term) and you become irrelevant. This effect killed friendster too, if you remember that far back.

Cool people have been receding on FB since day 1, and eventually it'll catch up to them. They'll have most of the people, but none of the influential people.

"Pure make believe"?

Negative thinking can have a detrimental effect on physical health - usually labelled as stress. It seems completely reasonable that positive thinking could have positive heath benefits (assuming that our base line is somewhere in the middle between positive and negative). We should be investigating the mechanisms and encouraging people to do what has positive results.
