Here is a questions: What happens if Medium decides to cut your blog from there?

I am not saying they are doing, but what happens with all this knowledge when Medium decides to pivot (I am not saying they do) or to close (hope this will not happen).

I see better chances for the content to outlive when it is spread in separated smaller blogs. Not all of them will close, maybe some of them will be archived, maybe moved to other domains, maybe cached somewhere. But having a lot of content under paywall, without any license on the code shared (or at least I don't know about it) is not creating a comfortable feeling for myself.

Of course if the purpose is to monetize then maybe Medium is the right place.
So much nostalgia for one day! Even Java Applet scrolling ticker simulations :).

It's amazing the think that birth and demise of Geocities defined an era. The collection of "Under Construction" banners made me think about how much the balance of creation vs consumption on the Internet changed over the years. As much as sites like Geocities and Myspace were eyesores, they represented creative freedom outside the confines of templates, news feeds and vanilla designs.
I don't think that's a good example. The science crank has repeatable and falsifiable evidence against their opinion. For political opinions, well, remember that MLK was widely disliked at the time of his death (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/why-martin-luther-kin...). Should his opinions have been kept out of the press?

Believe me, after the last few years, I'm all for keeping cranks out of power but not at the cost of creating a mechanism that can be used to suppress grassroots movements, regardless of stripe. That's dangerous; "what goes around, comes around" eventually.

You have to identify all the sign-ups that you care about that use the old e-mail address. Log in to each one and update the address to the new one. Don't forget things like mailing list subscriptions and government services that you log into once in a blue moon (e.g. government tax site, used once a year).

Similarly, get all your important contacts to update to the new address.

Set up forwarding from the old e-mail to the new one, if you can.

Stop sending anything from the old one.

This is the perfect description. Facebook amplifies your communication and I find that a perfect purpose for Facebook. No one should blame Facebook for what someone posts there for “allowing” it to be said. Facebook has had live streamed murders, that actually helps catch a killer. When Google bans a website doing illegal things, all it does it keep that website from being noticed but the activity continues. Maybe you think it limits the spread of something bad but no it just hides it. People who want to do bad things still do them. The only people who need to be protected from content are children, adults have the ability to critically think about a topic. Amplification of a message is only good. It is an argument about transparency.The phase the best disinfectant is sunlight is great because once it reaches a wide enough audience the people who can dispute the claim will appear rather than just an echo chamber.

This is a cool idea and an interesting insight. Glad to hear about what a 'normal' YC interview is like. Reminds me of amateur theatre, waiting in the wings to go on. YC could do the random '10 in a call' before the interviews, although I suppose there are thousands of people being interviewed.
That people don't kill wolves to eat them. So it makes no sense to compare killing wolves for sport to killing livestock.
> [scientists] fail to condemn the proliferation among themselves if

I don't think scientists should condemn one another for their choice of colors in graphs. Make your argument for one set of colors vs another and scientists can decide for themselves if they agree.
JupyterLab outputs have a mime type. Depending on the mimetype, a different renderer is used. For example, text is shown as plain text and an image is binary with the image type (e.g. png). There is also a mimetype for Vega and Vega-Lite JSON.

What this means for you as a user is that you don't need to install the renderer as it comes with the JL frontend.

Vega-Lite is client side so it's not running in the kernel.
Yes, I just listed StackOverflow there as an example for two reasons:

1. It is public (you don't need a subscription)
2. It has a license for using the code there (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing)

I am not affiliated in anyway with StackOverflow and actually I created a new account because of some things I disagree with.

Hey nmlnn. Thanks for posting this. I'm a shy past 24, and I came to the same conclusion. Nothing matters, we're all small and insignificant-pale-blue-dot-and-all-that. I also lose interest once the shininess and allure wears off. This mindset can be freeing; nothing matters so do what makes you happy. The closest answer I've got is to work a basic job at Costco/Trader Joe's/etc. and chill through life, while focusing on simple pleasures like drinks with friends, etc.
It boggles my mind why someone would spend so much time on something so pointless... If it makes you happy I guess!

My high school was in the US. I think good teachers anywhere are teachers because it is their calling. Breaking Bad is hardly the normative reference of how people should view teachers.
They are not swinging the balance of power, and at this point most of the trolls and disinformation artists are in the US working for conservative think-tanks and Republican campaigns. In case you hadn't noticed this big fat nothingburger is going nowhere. Like a lot of other new stories of late is mostly serves to separate the desperate and gullible from the rest of us.

That it’s such a deeply cultural thing makes me think that if wolves go extinct they will just choose the next convenient species to focus their ire on. In other words having an enemy to fight against is more important to them than actually protecting their livestock.
The argument is that farmers (or anyone else) actually do have a right to protect/defend their property (livestock are property). So when the government says that you can't protect your property if the thing killing it is a wolf, then farmers get very frustrated because they feel like their freedom/rights have been controlled or taken away from the government.

To put the farmer's perspective another way:

Everyone has a right to self-defense if you are being harmed. But imagine if the government says "actually, if the person harming you has blonde hair, then you can't defend yourself because we are protecting people with blonde hair right now. But don't worry we will make it worth your while if you just let the blonde person hurt you."

I know this sounds like a crazy example, but if you have ever spent time around farmers who deal with this issue, it feels exactly as crazy to them.
Ask HN: Should G Calendar allow different entry times for guests in a meeting
Do you think Google Calendar should have add-on feature to mark different entry times for particular guests in a scheduled video meeting on Google Meet?

For example: Meeting is on November 7th 2020 at 08:00 PM UTC, but Google Developers Experts is allowed to enter at 08:15 PM UTC.

Rest Google, Google Cloud, Google for Startups can start as scheduled.

Very interesting ethical debate. What is the balance between:

- A persons right to opt-in to (as an extreme) ego-centric mass manipulation in which they sell their very being for the sake of feeling smarter/better than other people.

- A corporations right to not enable anything they see as manipulating a narrative in ways they dislike.

Obvs both are extremes, but it implies that somewhere in-between is a sweet spot.

After moving my blog to Hugo and a custom CI/CD pipeline for it (that is in serious need of refactoring, but it works), writing and publishing new blog posts with SEO is very, very easy. Writing the damn thing is the hardest part of publishing now. All I have to do is commit and push, and now that CloudFront updates your local POP super quickly, new articles usually appear within minutes.

I used to host my blog on Wordpress, and I agree; massive timesink.

This title seems very misleading given the study described. They have found a correlation between some neurons firing in sequence and a list of words being spoken from memory. We don't have any concrete understanding of how memories are really encoded, stored, and recalled. Indeed, we don't even know if "encoded", "stored", and "recalled" are useful approximations for what's really going on in there. So suggesting that we have found some specific time keeping module seems awfully hand-wavy (at best) to me.

I changed the DNS setting on my router to one that blocks ads. The game I play shows me "house ads" - ads that are built into the app for the publisher's other games and their Facebook page - instead of ads from whatever awful network they were on.

Having ad with built-in timers and then the app having a timer itself drove me to installing a PiHole. But changing the router settings to DNS was better because that gave me two IP addresses to enter and I don't have to maintain it.

> why we don't just pay the ranchers for livestock killed

This path has been explored in Europe and is a mistake.

1) Killing a few wolves increases, not decreases damages (by altering the social structure of the pack). More paradoxical, killing all wolves in an area increases the attacks to small cattle in that area (even if there is not a single alive wolf anymore).

Because wolf attacks are a very special case. There is not a single wolf in UK. Despite that, they still suffer 40.000 attacks to small cattle each year. By abandoned pet dogs, the same species as gray wolf. When government starts paying wolf attacks, suddenly, each stray dog attack (non paid) will be automatically assigned to wolves (paid) and will appear in the newspapers. This creates 'ghost wolves' and panic in the population, and increases the pressure against the environment (that is exactly the opposite that you are paying for).

2) Is an incentive for local corruption. People learn that if they cry wolf receive free money. They became insatiable and will try to game the system again and again. We had documented cases of the same cow "dying" two times, four times in four different places in Europe. By wolves that for some reason always start "eating the cattle tags". We had documented cases of cows dying by a natural accident and being blamed to scavenger wolves visiting the area four days later.

3) Is bad for the real farmers. Losing a cow is not a problem, destroying the cow market with a flood of easy money is. Meat prices are disbalanced by outsiders that release old or diseased cattle in a ranch to die at zero cost and then bill the state for wolf damages. At the end the real farmers figure out that letting the cows die is more efficient than producing meat. Or their activity is destroyed by the spread of new cattle diseases, and are replaced by fake farmers living in a big city.

4) It quickly turns into a sort of acquired right also. People gets upset if you try to stop it (and poison appears).
Right, and ~3 degrees of warming if we continue with current energy policies for the next 80 years is much more benign than what many are claiming. It's not uncommon for people to claim that carbon emissions need to be reduced to zero in the next twelve years or the earth will become uninhabitable. If that were true then yes, we should start bombing fossil fuel plants. But in reality the damage causes by such action would be far more damaging than climate change.
Where is the averaging component in that? If some ranchers affected more by wolves and raise their prices accordingly, they become less competitive.
> the Steam Controller that was billed as part of the package was an experimental concept rather than being something people could pick up and play

I'm not so sure about this. I have the Steam Controller and, while I'm aware it is an experiment, it's a completely functional controller and in many ways significantly better than any other I've ever used, especially for MMOs. The biggest problem, imo, is that people simply refused to give it a try because it's something new.

Ask HN: Experience with Photobiomodulation for Brain Disorders?
My son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder some years ago, he's 5 now. Recently he was also diagnosed with ADHD.

I've seen some progress with the therapies he's using, like ABA (Applied behavior analysis) and speech therapy. His main difficulty is in speech and language. The conclusions from his last EEG show that he could be a good candidate for Neurofeedback therapy, but he hasn't started yet because of other difficulties related to sensory processing. I was told he's too young to take medicine to address his ADHD, but that may happen in the future.

I was considering using a Vielight device on him. I understand that the device does not make any claim regarding ASD and ADHD. It seems the main area of research is around Alzheimer's, Parkinson, PTSD, depression and brain injuries. I've read some experiences from people who used this technique with children and had good results. The claim is that the Default Mode Network, where the device acts, is also dysregulated in cases of Autism.

The only reason I'm considering something that may not help at all is the low risk associated. I believe this technique does not have side-effects, but I'm not an expert in the field.

I would like to read about other users experiences with Photobiomodulation. Even if not ASD or ADHD related, but for example Alzheimer's. If any expert is reading, what do you think about Photobiomodulation? I'm not looking specifically for medical advice, but it's hard to talk about this with doctors. Many dismiss techniques which are not proven yet, and they may have good reasons to do so.

It certainly feels like fraud if that so-called supplier never agreed to be a vendor in the first place. If the line to check out at the grocery store was 2 hours long, you wouldn't blame the company who packaged the tempeh. If a mobile food order takes 2 hours because it requires someone to act as a proxy for the customer, then the blame should fall on the middleman service.
From my talks with Montanans, the main reason some of them don't like the wolves is because the Elk population went down after their reintroduction.
False, they are being introduced into forests in the northern half of the state but are not being introduced into the forests in the southern half of the state. Also, when wolves are found close to the suburbs they are relocated to the north.

This is a class issue because most of the state's wealth is located in the southern half of the state and it is mostly the southern half of the state that is forcing an unwanted wolf population on the northern half of the state.
I've come to think this really depends on the person. I realized that I naturally intermittent fast, because it seems to work the best for me. Normally I eat my last meal of the day ~ 8pm, and nothing but coffee, tea, or water until 11am or 12pm the next day. The only time I eat something in the mornings is if I'm doing a workout or something active early in the day. Occasionally I'll feel hungry and eat something, but otherwise, I normally feel sluggish and slow if I eat breakfast. For my other meals, I actually eat a ton of food, around 2,500 calories on average.

On the flip side, I know multiple people who have tried the same and have your exact experience. Oddly enough, three of them had tried keto and had great results where I personally didn't. I know there's no real correlation there, just thought it was interesting. Try keto maybe?

I am so certain that atheists exist.

I am one. A valued friend is also. We are intelligent and emotionally aware people. Both of us know and value people who believe in God. Speaking for myself, I see no disconnect.

Regarding your "they claim the unknowable": if an atheist is claiming the unknowable, so is the theist. Yes, I do experience great emotions and experiences. I do not attribute these to God. If you do, that is great and please enjoy that. I will have mine as I shall.

Sadly, some of Valve’s more interesting Steam features don’t really work on Wayland. For example, you can control your desktop with a connected controller on X11, while controllers only work in-game and in Big Picture Mode on Wayland. Xbox One controllers also didn’t work on Wayland last time I checked. I wouldn’t be surprised if features like Remote Play didn’t work yet either because of Wayland protocols’ security model. Controller hotplugging is also a mess. Hopefully Valve gets to these issues in the future, but since Xwayland doesn’t even work with Nvidia GPU’s (more Nvidia’s fault than Wayland’s as I understand it), it could be a while. In any case, I’m quite thankful to Valve for making Linux viable for gaming, and the occasional game I buy now is always purchased through Steam to support their work.
