> This is just another version of a reset style sheet no?

This is not a reset stylesheet. Here is what a reset stylesheet like normalize.css does: https://i.imgur.com/DEVtCXp.png . Here is what sp.css does: https://i.imgur.com/5DB8cq7.png (light mode), https://i.imgur.com/uSaKCfv.png (dark mode). This is just my personal boilerplate CSS that I find myself writing on multiple text-based websites I create for fun.

> I think if you want to really add value, create a version that also works for responsive web sites.

Did you find any specific problems with this CSS with respect to responsiveness? I believe the minimal stylesheet changes that this CSS introduces should work well for any web page design, regardless of whether it is responsive or not.

On a general note, advising me on how I should spend my leisure time, while may be well-intentioned, is still a little unsolicited, don't you think? :-)

> In any case, making it easy for others to use with the cdn links is a good step and your documentation is very clean - good work on that. But again, this is exceptionally basic stuff. Not sure why it’s on the front page of HN.

Thank you. This is very basic stuff indeed. I am by no means a frontend developer or a fullstack developer and I know there are plenty of other classless stylesheets that work better, in general. This is just a small stylesheet that works well for me. If it works well for others like me who develop text-based websites, that's a bonus.
That went through one or more conversion steps so who knows...

I'm not willing to give my email addy out for those sample clips either, so I guess I won't know too soon.
Very fascinating! I wondered about this and went to search around a bit, and found this bit[1] (though this is more about CRT TV)

> When we used to manufacture TVs, we'd produce them for customers in the southern hemisphere too. When building these, we had to run them through our production lines upside down.

> When the old cathode ray tube TVs were built, the earth's magnetic field was taken into account during the production process. This ensured the current flowed the right way through the TV and so the TV was able to function normally.

Fascinating story. But I doubt anyone could have made a KL-10 on a board in 1975. A TTL implementation would have been difficult to squeeze into a small space, and a VLSI implementation was at least a decade away.

In fact there was a short-lived project called Minnow which was supposed to put a KL-10 on a desk, but it was overtaken by VAX - much like the Jupiter super-KL-10 project, which never got past the design notes and emulation stage.

LSI-11s did end up in small boxes, so that wasn't the problem.

The problem was that Olsen didn't have a vision for commodity personal computing. And to be fair not many people did in the 70s.

He seems to have been a very 1950s corporate kind of manager, and couldn't imagine computing outside of technical and corporate settings. DEC's culture was geared to selling to corporates and academia and trying to compete with IBM, not with smaller startups. So when DEC did eventually try to make hardware that could compete with PCs they tried to sell it to their usual customers instead of finding new markets. And that... didn't work.

Apple meanwhile had worked out that you needed a national dealer network with stores and hands-on demos all over the country. And plenty of approachable PR and ad spend. That was really what made Apple stand out from the competition, and that kind of marketing, to users who didn't work in big offices, factories, and research labs, and didn't have degrees, was unimaginable at DEC.

I'm fascinated by DEC as a company. There was some incredible world-leading engineering and a progressive culture, but the vision seems to have got stuck on a peg in the 70s, kept it together in the 80s because VAX was already in place, but couldn't deal realistically with the 90s.

Gordon Bell has said that Olsen never quite understood what VLSI implied culturally and socially - never mind technically and financially.

There's an apocryphal story about someone handing Olsen one of the pre-Alpha VAX-on-a-chip designs and he has a very polite mini-meltdown when he realises that it literally outperforms the top water-cooled mainframe ECL VAX hardware - for just a few hundred dollars, instead of a couple of million.
>For example the very loud minority with disabled JavaScript (because it’s the enemy) complaining that sites don’t work without it and that the web is dead. While in the real world no one cares.

I'm one of those people. I guess people with slow connections, security-conscious, screen-reader users, users of text-mode browsers, and users of older devices, are not part of the real world for you.

Many people outside of HN care about this issue, they just don't know how to verbalize it because they don't know what JS is. Instead, they see it as "site doesn't work" or "site tells me to fuck off because my browser isn't good enough."

It's not "negativity", it's wanting to make the Web an accessible place for everyone, not just people with fast hardware on fast connections.

To me, "negativity" is writing off an opinion because I don't know how to writer a proper website with progressive enhancement.

Somebody still needs to agree to hosting your data. Incentivizing peers to host your encrypted data is not a solved problem. IPFS is trying to bootstrap some cryptocurrency to fix that but they seems to be taking their sweet time with that.

So, ultimately, you always end up with somebody providing the convenience of not throwing your data away for a fee. Github and Gitlab seem to be the popular options for that. Gitlab is actually open source and you can self host it if you want and many do. But the reason they have a nice valuation is that they have lots of customers that prefer them to do it.

Given that it's MIT Licensed, you can even do that and offer it as a service probably (Amazon, there's a nice idea for you :-) ).
Accessibility is often thought of as just making things accessible to people with disabilities, but it's not just that. Accessibility is mainly about maximizing the reach, not just for people with disabilities but people in any situation.

For example, people who live in South America usually have a lot worse internet connection, and more likely to be on mobile networks, than people in the west. If you're audience is mainly in South America, working on making your application accessible, means making sure your application has low bandwidth usage, can deal with high latency and jitter, and works well for phones.

One only has to look at the definition of the word "Accessibility" to see why you're wrong: "accessibility - the quality of being able to be reached or entered - the quality of being easy to obtain or use - the quality of being easily understood or appreciated".

Not sure where the focus on people with disabilities came from, it's important, but accessibility is much bigger than just that.
I learned that there are many others working on something similar to what I'm working on, and they have many great ideas.
I had a similarly weird experience in Lisbon. The Airbnb could only be accessed through this app-controlled lock, and my data plan wasn't working within the building. This meant I had to send the request from outside, and dash in to open the door while it was still unlocked (about a 20 second period).

The second day I was there, I came back from my conference early and couldn't get the door to open using my trick. I called the owners, and they came to open the door for me, which worked fine with their physical keys. But, what do you know — their cleaning lady happened to be in the apartment! She clearly hadn't been scheduled, and they were very surprised.

She left and I looked through my stuff — nothing missing, but a number of items in my bag had been rearranged. She had cleaned up the apartment too, but why was she going through my stuff? I can only think she was looking for cash or something easy to steal without being too noticeable.

Reported it to Airbnb but didn't get a response.
Had an experience like this with Lufthansa where it owed me ~600 euros for a cancelled flight. Someone messed up over there and tagged my compensation as delivered, but no money had actually arrived in my bank account. I kept track of the number of emails it took to solve this: >30, 1-2 every week. That's only from me, double that for the total.

The customer service was simply repeating the same thing over and over: accounting says the money was sent. What aggravated the issue, was that basicly every email was replied by a different customer service agent. I pointed out to them that according to SEPA regulations it is the sender's responsibility to ensure that the funds reach the recipient, but they were ignoring it. I didn't think to ask to be forwarded to the legal compliance office. I did take legal action, sort of, by complaining through the EU out-of-court dispute resolution platform, but didn't receive any response through the platform (might have helped anyway, don't know).

What helped resolve it, was looking up SEPA regulations (because until then I was saying "this is your responsibility", they were replying "no it's not"), endurance, and a sense of humour.

Maybe the commenter simply believes that it might not be crazy to exhibit concern for something that's known to be dangerous enough weaponise, is invisible, silent and being deployed in concentration all over the world including throughout your own neighbourhood and living complex.

Sure, similar things could be said for electricity, and many other beneficial things - even water. But the same can also be said for things that were said to be safe - by the same sources; industry and media - and yet ended up causing great harm.

As a former angel investor (I am too busy these days) it is not that angel investors give bad advice, just advice that matched their experience. Good advice, wrong situation.

The advice I have given that seems to have been most useful is not around product or market fit, but how to resolve internal conflicts. Human nature seems to have not changed much.
There are many features that make LinkedIn a good tool for professional networking, but as a social media platform LinkedIn has a hugely problematic culture - far worse than Twitter.

Of course they find a way, they have to. Doesn't mean it is easy.

The vast majority of people don't even know about bitcoin or blockchian. But the use case is there and it is vastly superior to what western union and moneygram offer in such countries. I'm not telling you as a bitcoin enthusiast, I'm telling you as someone who uses crypto to send money abroad to my gf. I have friends who do the same because it is faster and cheaper than anything else.
Inspiring!

Reminds me I have a bank and an insurance company to talk or rather write to.

They sold me insurance on my mortgage, then came up with new rules when my wife sadly needed it.

I was in a tight spot then so it ended up with my family having a boring time (cheaper food, Dad working more, less money to spend on toys, tickets etc - and we didn't have to much in the first place).

Now I do have time and I do have money and I am tempted to give it a go. It should be something around $5000 (two months worth og salaries for my wife).
Do not be too hard on yourself, he had his script.
There's only been around 20,000 Covid deaths this year in the under 55 age group this year. The under 55 age group is 80% of the population. That's less than car accidents.
So this is a disease that is very low risk for 80% of the American population.

If the vulnerable 20% of the population can't stay in quarantine, this is not societies problem anymore.. this is that minority 20%'s problem.

And these crushing social restrictions destroying lives, jobs, businesses, enslaving people to debt, and putting people into poverty need to stop.

mRNAs.
"messenger" RNA are intended to be disposable copies of the information tucked safely away in the cell nucleus.
As such we all create and recycle untold billions of them daily. The half life of a mRNA will be lucky if it is a day
after about 5 halving you are approaching 1% of the total remaining.
So a decade for a particular mRNA in an active cell is effectively infinity and stands no chance of remaining.

A question you may be thinking is then how can it help and the answer is in the new trick it teaches your cells to copy in those first few days, your body will remember the trick for a while, months maybe, a year hopefully, and that one cool trick is to recognize the virus so your body can do what it does with uninvited guests.

But the mRNA delivered as the vaccine is long gone, recycled back into pulp and made into new sticky post-it notes over and over.

The "trick" is the _information_ in the vaccine not the post-it note it comes on.

It is exactly what your body will try to find on it's own more or less at random when you get sick,
not stumbling on the correct information in time can be fatal in this case.

If your body does find the right information to recognize the invader and you win your body will remember what worked,
maybe for a while maybe forever.

This is why successful invaders will change themselves to avoid being remembered and eventually those changes will have unintended consequences (e.g. pandemic).
In my case the big tech interview was simultaneously harder and easier than I expected. As long as you are somewhat smart, I think it should be doable with enough preparation and a lot of it has to do with nerves. I made it to the committee but wasn't extended an offer. I know which two problems tanked me and it was a mixture of nerves, bad attitude by one interviewer and lack of preparation on my side. Fun experience tho.
"This company is ripping me off, but I'll protect its identity because I feel like I owe it something" is plain misguided and a huge disfavor to other participants in the market.
That ritalin and other stimulant medicines is available for kids will go down in the history books as an episode of insanity.

There is absolutely no good that comes out of it and future peers will just be glad they didn't have to go through it.

That said it is such a vast different substance from a psychoactive substance that the problems that arise will all be different.
But I know for a fact that without adderall, I wouldn't have done a damn thing. I've tried for a few months. Shrugged and went back.

There's an underlying assumption here: that the medication either makes things better, or makes things worse. It may have different effects on different axes, but it has those effects while it is active, and they go away once the drug is metabolized.

This way of looking at things makes the logic of using many psychoactive medications inescapable from a school and career perspective (Maybe less so from a social point of view). But it's not the only way to look at things.

What if, for the sake of argument, we posited that that the drug has not one, but two kinds of effects:

1. Constant effects, like we are assuming right now, and

2. Derivative effects. Effects that change not how good you are at work today, but how good you are tomorrow. This could be either an adaptation to the medication, or a suppressive effect the medication has on learning.

If that is so, then we would expect type 2 effects to dominate in the long run, but type 1 effects to dominate in the short run. At any given two week window taking the medication is a huge win (because of type 1 effects), but on a longer time horizon of perhaps two or three years the prognosis could be better off the medication (because of type 2 effects).

The devil is in the details, ofc: do type 2 effects exist? How large are they? Is there a crossover point? Is it two years, twenty years, or two hundred years?

My personal experience with stimulant medications is that type 2 effects do exist, and that the crossover is something like two years. That means that getting off them requires one to put up with two years of being worse off than one was on the medication.
What's the upper limit on the percentage of people you're happy to throw under the bus? Are problems only problems if they affect 51% or more of the population?

Thanks for the feedback.

I did spend several hours writing and editing it over a couple weeks, but I understand it might not feel cohesive.

The challenge was that there were a lot of details to cover to explain the background. The email exchanges were a bit convoluted because they involved a lot of backreferences to previous events or other screenshots. I wanted to tell the story in an interesting way while presenting the raw evidence instead of just summarizing everything and asking the reader to assume I'm being fair, but I can see how all the screenshots and blockquotes might have made it feel cluttered.

The research is mixed. Partly since the advent of modern running sneakers may actually be causing more injuries as a sibling comment pointed out. For a while I was doing PhD research in materials science and created a technique to do materials fatigue testing of the meniscus. Unfortunately that was the first ever such research for meniscus and the data wasn't able to conclude much, alas. The research can't say for sure what injuries are from form and conditions or underlying mechanical limits, or the effect of self-repair mechanisms. After that work though, my opinion is to run on the front of your foot and remain well hydrated as both reduce peak impact forces. Also pay attention to how you twist the knee while running (eg don't twist during land). Also 1/3 of meniscus injuries still appear to be unrelated to any specific injury or activities like running.
