I vote to reclassify most RX as non-RX on the shelf generics. Oregon legalized most narcotics, so why not everything else? Why? I am tired of being held hostage by doctors and pharmacies. I want to be able to stock up (for real) on things I need in the event we have covid-23 and the world loses its mind, again.
Ahh you are right. A 20% difference would definitely not be worth it. Also, I’d move back to the middle of nowhere in a heartbeat for 80% of a Bay Area salary.
Wouldn't it be infinitely cheaper to replace all the cables/fixtures and simply rebuild it? Or have the funders simply lost interest in it?

Is a GoFundMe campaign outside of the realm of possibility? I know that I'd contribute to such a worthy effort, but only if the rest of the players would pledge to fund current operations.
Show HN: DeployQL- collaborative, trackable SQL queries
The times table seems like a perfect example to me of a GREAT thing to memorize. It's only 36 facts (2 through 9 times each other, knowing that ab==ba), and from then on you don't have to do repeated addition.
Opening this site for me made 905 HTTP requests.

Apparently it tries to pre-load every job listing, including YouTube videos for everything? I appreciate what you're trying to do here but the site is pretty painful on a slow connection. Maybe don't load the listings until you click on one..?
I don't think an ad blocker should be assumed when calculating the size of a web page.
It really can’t be hard to set a metric.

Time limit (load time and render time), and to a lesser degree, weight limit (ie total resources size).

This is hardly a new concept.
Even better: Indicate page speed in the search results and adopt the users' preference. I know I would prefer to click fast sites.
Line workers can switch jobs if they are unhappy with the conditions. If everybody would do that, companies would be forced to make those jobs more attractive to retain and compete for workers.
> I use two accounts on HN because I have two devices

That does not in any way follow, and makes no sense.

You can log in the same HN account from multiple browsers/devices, so you can be you wherever you happen to be coming from. You know, like a normal person.

You know, like with gmail or any number of other online services ... with only rare exceptions such as Line, which has device-tied profiles.
That's what I built my website for https://litchan.com
I've heard of people doing this. In fact, there was a memorial service for a relative who passed away right before this started. It was outside and socially distanced. It went well.

Many neighbors for Halloween came up with distancing solutions as well. So I think there are more people modifying plans than outright cancelling them in this area. Of course this can vary drastically depending on the specific location and I imagine there are some areas seeing the inverse.
If marriage has a social purpose, to channel and direct human sexuality in a way that promotes social cohesion and provides for a man's progeny, then gay marriage is nonsense.

<sarcasm>Which is why we forbid post-menopausal women, men with vasectomies, and other non-breeders from marrying.</sarcasm>

The statement is so transparently idiotic that it makes it impossible to trust the author on anything. It's not just wrong. It's so flagrantly and obviously self-serving that clearly the difference between truth and falsehood simply doesn't enter into it.

You can argue with people who are wrong, but you can't argue with people who simply don't care about reality.
I feel like Reddit has replaced many niche forums, for better and worse.

On the plus side, Reddit has a low bar to entry. It's super easy to find or create a forum for a topic. You don't need to create a new account, and you can view threads from across your interests in a single view if you want.

On the other side, Reddit has many issues:

- Tree-style comments are not the best format for every type of discussion.

- Upvoting encourages content that gets votes: groupthink opinions, short funny quips, generic memes, etc. These can bury deeper discussion or dissenting views.

- Reddit as a whole has its own culture. If you don't like Reddit's culture, it's unavoidable.

- The visual focus of Reddit's recent redesign means that many hobby subreddits turn into posts showing off gear instead of discussion.

- Aggressive moderation on some subs makes it hard to post. Posts might be deleted for arbitrary reasons. Sometimes questions are sent to a generic 'Ask a Question' thread, which isn't great for finding questions later via search.

- Your post history is public across the site, which carries privacy risks.

Informal mentorship in academic collaborations and junior author performance
One of the ways to fight against this is to allow only text posts. Any sub that allows pics and gains enough people, the photos tend to float to the top. A clever pic is low engagement and can be consumed and upvoted in seconds. Add to this that the photos probably show on sites outside of reddit (like imgur) and often times you can upvote/downvote on these other sites!

Text posts with lots of good discussion take a while to consume. People passing by won't even bother to click on it and you will not be able to see the content outside of the sub's page itself.

IMO upvote/downvote buttons should only be in the entry itself and never on a front page. You have to at least click on the thing to up vote it or not.

I took Physics as an elective in University, but it really didn’t sharpen my Calculus skills. Which is sad, but probably because I did so bad in Calculus as an undergraduate. But, one thing I absolutely did take away from Physics was the idea of units and their conversions. It has come in handy so often though in and outside my degree of computer science. If I had to simplify it, it really helps you not to compare apples to oranges. At the beginning of Street Fighting Mathematics it brings up that point. For example it isn’t a good comparison to compare the wealth in assets of a given company to a countries GDP. Because, GDP is happening over every year in time whereas the wealth is merely effected by what point in time it’s observed. Units help one see that in order to be truly and more fairly comparable they have to be the same type of units.

I used an analogy of units in physics recently to help a teammate with types and generics, sadly I can’t remember exactly what I said haha other than don’t compare apples to oranges, but I think I had further insight than just that.
I was watching primarily Fox News during the period of time in question in this article, and Arnon Mishkin and others from their decision desk explained all of this. They expected mail-in ballots to be overwhelmingly Democratic in all counties in all states, which they were, because Trump had said not to vote by mail-in ballot because it was insecure and subject to fraud. The article author mentions none of this as a factor for the skew.

Democratic dominate precincts are also significantly more populated, so you get much larger tranches. There's a variable stop in the count because some counties have resources to count over night and other counties don't.

Florida as an example, was counting mail-in/absentee ballots early. Pennsylvania conversely the law says mail-in/absentee ballots start being counted on election day. Both PA and GA report in-person votes first, which skewed heavily Republican, hence the early reports had Trump ahead. And only later did the mail-in ballot counts get reported, again typically in larger tranches than from sparsely populated rural areas.

The detail Mishkin, et al, supplied was the most interesting and useful part of any election coverage I've ever seen. The 99% of remaining coverage is next to useless. These folks went into quite a lot more detail on Arizona, than any other state, because they called it days before any other decision desk and were getting a lot of push back. The tranches of ballots are not heterogeneous, they're not random. They get bundled by type (mail-in, in-person, provisional) by precinct by county. And the statistics folks have a range for how many they expect for each, and which way and how much they will skew. And behind the scene they are getting even more detailed information on where these tranches came from, what's outstanding, and they can estimate how the result will track. At no time did the stats wonks seem at all surprised by what was going on, even though the talking heads were sometimes surprised.
> Edit: That's not to say Biden is not the clear victor, only that there are still A LOT of people who support Trump, and even people who didn't vote for him in 2016 who did vote for him this time.

I think people are taking what I'm saying out of context. I'm not saying that Biden didn't win the election.

I'm saying that this election isn't where this ends. The fact that other commenters had such a knee jerk reaction (yourself excluded) only proves it.
exactly. to boot, if you look at death rates for all of the UK, they have been on an upward trend for the past several years so it is no surprise that deaths would higher this year than in any year in the past five years https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/dea...
Wait? So you can upload to Amazon or Google but nowhere else? Like to your own servers, for example?
HTML being from the early 90s or so, I wanna say "no."

I wonder what the logic for the 1978 date is. It's hard for me to believe they had any reasonably connected predecessor of this in 1978.

I'm just clarifying what the rule says, because I definitely made it sound like secretaries who work for prop shops can invest their own money in their employers, which is explicitly not the case.
I was looking for something similar today. I just adopted it. :)

Thank you for your amazing work!

Do you have the intention to integrate it with PT Lightning or as a PT Lightning Logger?

It would be nice to have it maintained there.

It’s used all over huggingface-Transformers examples.
Well, that does pose a bit of a problem comparing across years, doesn't it? I'd like to see this sort of statistical analysis done after the calendar flips over to 2021, taking into account the trend of fewer deaths per year, so we could see if there is a "COVID spike" in the data, and what the magnitude of it is.

The argument "we already have all those rules" is not really useful. Apparently the treatment of the Facebook Content Moderators is also legal. So by your logic, it is OK, because we already have those rules.

I don't know why you think "love it or leave it" is a veiled threat. What historical use are you referring to? Of course it is abbreviated. You can negotiate with your boss if you are unhappy. But ultimately, nobody owes you anything. Yes, there are the labor laws and so on, but I think if somebody decides to shut down their company, you can not really sue them for your job anymore.
15KB is maybe the average case size, including HTTP request data.

That's 1024 * 15 * 439,000,000 = 6.7TB roughly.

The cases are all compressed, so I'm not using 6.7TB non-compressed for cases. But there are other request and non-request related records needed too. Just my backups currently.
Outstanding tool, looking forward to using it much more. Excellent work on this!
A bit melodramatic. However I'd say the hoax folks will reap what they sow. The truth always comes out eventually. Personal responsibility is a thing as well.

Collateral damage is a shame, but there's a limit to how much you force other people to do what you want. So be it.
> There aren’t any obviously viable alternatives for long form videos.

There are plenty of alternatives in some sense; stuff like Bitchute exists and allows you to post whatever you want and it works well enough, but the reason I don't go on there is that it seems like a lot of the content is basically just neo-Nazi crap, which of course I don't really want to watch.

And I suppose that's kind of the issues; YouTube has become so normalized that it's sort of impossible for alternative video sites to reach a similar scale, and the ones that do pop up inherently start appealing mostly to the fringe groups that aren't safe for YouTube.
>I'm somewhat mystified as to who exactly it is that recklessly put the ammonium nitrate where it is

Some underpaid and undereducated laborers. Unfortunately, this society did not have sufficiently developed governance to force the proper storage of ammonium nitrate. There were multiple warnings issued over the years, and multiple mandates by the judicial system, but the political will to spend the money to move it did not exist, so it did not get moved.
Yeah, in the previous story I mentioned[1] NANOGrav, which is on the brink of some really interesting science but relies heavily on Arecibo for their dataset.

They mention a delay of more than a few months of data from Arecibo would have very negative consequences, so an outright loss must be a very, very significant blow for them.

Add to that the health complications of missed cancer scans, "quarantine 15" weight gain, economic turmoil, lost education, drug addiction and mental health. I'm guessing middle aged people's death rates will be increasing the next few years with cancer, heart disease and suicides all increasing.
Precisely. If he's selling ad-free versions, he can just host them himself.
Sweden had pretty good numbers over the summer, but sadly have a spike of cases over the last month. Essentially half of the total covid cases in Sweden have occurred in time. So with some lag, I'd expect another jump in deaths soon, too.

The twitter thread linked above is from August, so definitely does not account for these rapidly changing numbers.

How to Make a Smart Decision You Won’t Regret
I totally agree. I actually just built some scripts to do this using rclone, but they could easily be modified to work with a remote ZFS which is actually way more ideal. It is encrypted in-flight, and at rest on the remote, and merging block-level increments never require decryption. My key never has to leave my local machine.

My question for these kinds of complaints is, how do is it proposed we implement the same features and value that can be provided currently, with fewer downloas?

Could we have Facebook without a huge download? Is this saying the web should not have these features? Are we intended to download each new application separately on a PC like we do mobile?

I see so many complains about "the bloated web", but no solution that let's us keep the tremendous value the internet has given to the world. It just comes across so short-sighted and reactionary.
trellis.law does something similar

their searches are indexed and have rulings and documents as well.

does this differ from that service?

I've watched an exhibition by Forensic Architecture a few months ago in Gothenburg and was blown away by it.

Very few people outside the anarchocommunist subreddits think police are unnecessary. Reform vs police-are-untouchable are the two major wings in the US.
In my experience, partners at these firms won't even let junior firms invest in the fund. There is a clear cut pyramid hierarchy, and if admitting junior members means having to expand the AUM (thus crossing the threshold of the fund's strategy), I don't see this change being any meaningful to letting junior members invest.

For guys at mega funds, it's going to be really easy. For people in prop shops? Not that much.
To get a better idea of why zooming out 20 years isn't reasonable, take a look at the past 120 years in the US (Sweden's numbers likely follow the same trajectory): https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data-visualization/mortality-trends...

Directly comparing 2000 to 2020 makes little sense given the consistent downward trend and magnitude of difference between 2001-2005 and 2015-2019.

Given the downward trend in adjusted deaths per million over time, a more reasonable approach is to average the last 5 years and compare it to 2020. Doing so, you will find that 2020 has ~750 more deaths per million in Sweden than prior periods. (Keep in mind this approach likely understates the affect of COVID on mortality rate due to the aforementioned trend).
the reason is they instituted lockdowns and better leadership through crisis. flu is transmitted pretty much identically to covid so any mitigation that slows down covid by nature slows down the flu. coupled with a vaccine that is moderately effective you have a much lower incidence rate of the flu occurring and killing.
This year has brought major lifestyle changes to a lot of people. Can you tell how much this affects mortality?

I had no idea how many of these experiments there were.

"Early in the Cold War, in studies known as Project GABRIEL and Project SUNSHINE, researchers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia tried to determine how much nuclear fallout would be required to make the Earth uninhabitable.[90][91] They realized that atmospheric nuclear testing had provided them an opportunity to investigate this. Such tests had dispersed radioactive contamination worldwide, and examination of human bodies could reveal how readily it was taken up and hence how much damage it caused."

I guess that is indeed ONE way to answer the question... the 1950s era had so many absolutely crazy things happen, back when nuclear weapons were brand new and people didn't realize what impacts they would have.
This kind of elitist nonsense where people say "Accredited Investor" as if it implied some kind of education or certification.

It was always just a certification that you had an excessive amount wealth.

Sounds like you believe someone with a net worth of $900k or a salary of $190k is objectively incompetent become they're barely under the threshold.

"Objective definition." What a joke.
I sincerely hope that no boys or young men who are depressed see Twitter today as there are so many posts that effectively say "you don't have a right to be listened to today because we feel that you have it easy every other day". There's no nuance at all, just derision, rage and attacks.

In 50 years time there will be books that directly point to Twitter as being one of the worst inventions in human history.

You are describing the current state of affairs. Its funny how people always think nothing will change. I am sure you can read similar statements about how Apple can never outperform Intel in their Macs from about 5 years ago.

It is simple: machine learning is part of the future and here to stay. Apple will need to do that as well. What better way is there to build expertise in it than to build your own hardware for it? Especially given how far they have already come in that domain? It is laughable to think that machine learning domination is not one of Apple's goals.
Congrats on the launch.

Thanks for the reply! I have subscribed to the newsletter and look forward to updates.
If non customer complaints and responses threaten the ability of the organization to sell to their actual customers, they will respond. Short of that line, the business is not going to be responsive to non-customer complaints.

This is particularly relevant for subscription vs. ad companies, because both of these companies have different kinds of “non customers”. For a subscription company non-customers can be induced to convert into customers via sales, advertising, and features. So for these companies non customers are all potential future customers who should be listened to some. For companies like Google they serve an entire different class of customers. As an individual there is literally nothing you can do to become a Google customer; so unless if your complaints interfere with Google’s ability to sell your attention to their actual customers, then they have zero reason to care about your opinion.
