I'm actually trying to avoid sweet smoothies. So you just add kale, tomato and other ingredients you mentioned? I'm just worried if that much kale will bother my stomach. I'll give it a shot though. Seems like a great breakfast.

>I wish we put more emphasis on educating young people about basic cooking and nutrition.

More difficult than it sounds. Most people want to eat healthier but when they research it they'll get fad diets and pseudoscience. Just look at Keto, paleo, whole 30, etc.
Lean is quite a broad practice that goes way beyond inventory management. Also, the Lean software development methodology is very different from the Lean process management one.

Anyway, yes, all those things are tools that should be used with an understanding of their positive and negative impacts (even Scrum has some positives...), not something undiscerning managers impose despite the realities of the field.

And if you go read Deming, the guy that created most of what goes into Lean (production, not software development) and JIT, he has some very interesting opinions on undiscerning management.
> Why did you skip the Swedish example?

Because I don't know anything about Swedish language :)

> This is English speaking folks that have adopted a Spanish word and are now making it gender neutral by skipping the last letter.

Which is silly, because "Latinos" is already gender neutral in its actual use, both in Spanish and in English. It declenses in Spanish using masculine form, but as the above example of chair and desk, grammatical gender of a noun doesn't have to say anything about gender of whatever it refers to. It does in the case of the word "latinos", but it only says that the group is not all-female: this is the gender neutral form.

> They are under no obligation to keep following the the original language's grammar.

Sure, there is no obligation. They could also decide to just call all groups of people from Latin America "Latinas", or just do away with that stem altogether, and just use "Hispanic" instead. Of course, in the former case, the Spanish speakers would be very confused that Americans keep insisting on only referring to females, and in the latter, the Brazilians might get confused why they are now called Hispanic. But, they'd be wrong to have any concerns about this, because languages are completely arbitrary, and Americans are under no obligation to have their language make any sense or be consistent with anything else.

The above is, of course, absurd, just like the word "Latinxs". Just use the word Latinos, which is already gender neutral, if you happen to care about it.

Auden, "precious five"
Interestingly, Ayurveda recommends cooked vegetables more than raw vegetables, and less (but not zero) of raw food generally, on the principle (IIRC) that cooked foods are usually easier for humans to digest - and digestion is "the key to health" in Ayurveda.

Most gaming accessories never took off. The racing wheel has been available for decades now and never "took off" and yet it never went away either. Racing wheels have a market and will continue to forever.

I predict VR will be slightly larger than the racing wheel market but they will not become super common in the next decade because they require a large amount of space. This doesn't matter at all because even today VR games and hardware are great fun to use.
There are indeed other ways to manage the fresh install process. Not sure they result in less critical vulnerabilities overall. It is all too easy to never update ancient versions of installations, especially as server maintenance is often handled by a separate team.
An irony that I don’t know how to quite articulate is that the goal for all platform companies (TikTok, Instagram, Roblox, YouTube) is to keep a free market within, but a total monopoly as a platform on the outset.

As much as you try for balance, power laws will exist and the creators of these very platforms know very well from their own experience that those who capture it will do massively better than those who don’t.
Attribution involves sources and methods, some of which are classified.

Ask HN: Advice on Startup Career (and Betrayals)
I write this at a time when I’m at the lowest point of my self-employed software career (thus far in my life at least).

Long story short: I developed systems and processes - while in college for Comp Eng - for various small businesses and enabled them to bring in over a million in revenue cumulatively. I always planned on running my own businesses and as such, have been through a handful since graduation. I learn more and more with each "failure", and get farther on the next venture each time as a result.

However... These days, I find it very difficult to not only go through the usual routines of checking+responding to email, nonetheless actually improving or finishing my projects to see what could result (success?).

With the latest venture, my cofounders are attempting to leave me with nothing despite investing low 6-figures in capital and having legal share ownership (per a contract we all signed).

I can tell in my blood that entrepreneurship is what I want to do. I feel as though if I had a mentor who could use a (no self-brag intended) ambitious software engineer and thinker to build/empower projects, and we support each other in some way, that would be the dream. I know I’m capable of much bigger things than current, but clearly need mental repositioning and perhaps even a complete switch on what I’m working on.

Given the above, do you have any advice for a 20-something (nearing 30) that is tired and has been betrayed more than once in the startup game? A long read, I know. Have been trying to figure out my future path for many weeks now honestly. I greatly appreciate it.
While Git is conceptually beautiful, it's CLI seems something of an afterthought and is maddeningly inconsistent at times.
Yes.

Delaware is used for many corporations because their legal framework is well understood, standard and unlikely to cause any questions.

Cyprus on the other hand is used for companies trying to do non-standard tax or legal affairs.
Thanks. A while back I was trying to find the original StumbleUpon and discovered it had become some kind of social media site, so I recreated what I remembered was the core functionality (click button, get random site).
The article isn't clear that he's talking about delta updates from one version to the next.
That's not relevant. You were talking about seller reviews, not product reviews before. Why are you trying to avoid the question? Do you think choosing a reputable seller is a "secondary" concern after choosing a product? If so, why?
4 months for a 0.8% return isn't very good. Better than CDs but your expected return in the market is higher.
It didn't for me either. He keeps talking about standalone installers. Not clear he's actually talking about delta updates?
If you are applying this to computer games, I see your point. If you are applying it to 5-star reviews for $20, then I disagree.

(Luigi Barzini mentions an Italian book on card-playing--written, I think, by a clergyman--that begins "Always try to see your opponents' cards." He was trying to point out the light value to that Italians assign to official rules.)
Because its built on bullshit. With the automation we have today we could easily satisfy the needs of everyone with fewer workers. Its the obscene demand for constant growth that causes these issues.
It's honestly super fun to go from zero to one with rendering just because it opens your eyes to how that second processor on your machine works.

Writing vertex and fragment shaders blew my mind the first time I did it. "Wait, this code will be run for EACH PIXEL ON THE SCREEN?" It's obvious in principle, but the actual implementation felt awesome to experience first-hand. Like the feeling of accomplishment that you get in re-deriving a famous theorem yourself. It's not groundbreaking or novel, but it unlocks a much deeper understanding for why we need GPUs at all.

You can take a look at the humble repo I used to both learn C++ and explore 3D rendering [1]. If by some chance you are interested in learning more about how this stuff works, I highly encourage you to check out TheCherno's youtube channel [2]. I'm not a huge fan of his newer stuff (Hazel engine), but his older series implemented 3D graphics from scratch in Java. Taught me a huge amount about how this stuff works and really ignited my interest in programming.

Sidenote: I couldn't find this by reverse image searching, but if you search the same description you can find it on AliExpress for ~30% less. If I had access to Taobao, it's probably less again there.

guess at no point is Amazon actually harmed by this scheme

Maybe not in the short term, but in the long term it could. There are already things I haven't purchased because the review contents just didn't seem right, lots of 5 star and 1 star, practically no 3 or 4 star.

I can't be the only one, and the situation is only getting worse.
If you do a lot of Amazon, you might still want to have their 5% card as the default in your Amazon account, for about double the rewards.

The Amazon card rewards redemption is pretty much automatic, so I think the only additional hassle of this particular second card is that there's an additional monhtly bill to make sure gets paid on time.

Ask HN: What is the best way to incorporate when you are under 18 y.o.?
I want to incorporate a company (preferably at USA) while I'm under 18 years old.

You’re grossly over estimating the margins in Crypto custody.
The churning crowd is all posers, I don't know why it bothers me that much, I think its because if they put that energy onto something actually entrepreneurial that gave them real cash or assets, they could afford to do all the things they brag about subsidizing with points, and still have the points, cards and various status'.

Like, they can still subsidize flights and hotels with points, but actually have some financial freedom.

Maybe its because people with many other hobbies don't pretend they have achieved socioeconomic status. Maybe its because the terms and conditions on points say they aren't assets, debt or anything really. Hard for me to place it, its the people in the churning communities trying to replicate travel bloggers that irk me. Maybe I’m just being classist, I enjoy being around people that can afford the business-class situations they are in, and theyre typically not bragging about it as its just fact of life and a fact of their peer’s life.

Thank you. I think it is really hard nowadays to find small independent websites. Just a couple days ago I remember reading a hackernews comment from a person saying that most of their web traffic started from just a few places (hackernews, reddit, twitter, etc) - and that really resonated with me.

> And finally in Discovery, it was a known, fully legal branch. That Discovery also took place before D.S.9. made it all the more bizarre that most Starfleet officers in D.S.9. had never heard of the existence of an organization which was publicly known a century prior.

Discovery was a deeply classified ship that was further reclassified under Klingon War Intelligence, Prime Directive, the unspoken Mirror Universe Prime Directive, and Temporal Prime Directive due to various actions Discovery has taken part of over the course of its deployment.

Supposedly no one on DS9 ever heard of Discovery (or should have heard of Discovery) either.

So it's not entirely unfair for Discovery to have a lot of deep, direct knowledge of Section 31, more than most ships and crews would have, given their existing high classification level likely meant they had high clearance in return. In addition Season 2 offers some evidence for why Section 31 was nearly destroyed and likely went into hibernation through most of the TOS and TNG years, including the death of high ranking officers, a ton of institutional knowledge in the loss of their computer files, and the extra-temporal extrication of the person most groomed to likely take over the organization (Georgiou).

(That said, I still think Section 31 is one of the dumber things added to Star Trek lore, and the DS9 writers can complain all that they want that Section 31 has been almost nothing but misused from their original intentions since they created it, but it is the DS9 writers' own fault for retconning Section 31 into the Federation charter in the first place and not expecting for everyone working elsewhere in the timeline to wonder or be questioned "What would Section 31 be doing right now?")
Depends only on whether the fact that they are logged in is used to process any kind of personal data.

The question is not "how long". The question is what data, and what happens to it.
Right now I’d classify it as both “a fairly good read” and “an earnest attempt at good old fashioned philosophy”.

It’s clearly trying to recapture a more positive philosophical mood as a bit of an antidote to the current trend of deconstruction. But whether it is a true and useful return to the pursuit of the “good life” or a naive attempt to cast aside the perils of grand narratives to return uselessly to a simpler time is, of course, a subjective opinion.

I’m rather sentimental myself and I believe a lot has been lost with today’s cynical postmodern-inspired philosophical trends, but I imagine those who think the work of deconstructing colonializing narratives that only soothe the already mostly comfortable is not yet complete are experiencing profound eye rolling whenever this stuff shows up on HN.
I really haven't seen any card that has better net reward generation than Discover, if you want a "one card for maximum rewards". You can definitely earn more if you juggle cards, but the base discover card is really quite good as a one-card system, and I think would beat any "2%-3% on everything" card.

It does operate on 5% categories each quarter, but those categories tend to be really common and broad, and their systems aren't exactly the best at determining when something shouldn't be in a category. In 2021, their categories are (Grocery Stores, Walgreens, CVS), (Gas Stations, Wholesale Clubs, Streaming Services), (Restaurants, Paypal), and (Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com). That's in addition to 1% on everything else.

Combine that with no annual fee (the BofA Premium Rewards card is $95/year, Sapphire Reserve is $550/year)... its very difficult to beat.

That being said, I'm a bigger fan of the Chase Freedom Unlimited or Flex, as I have everything else with Chase and I prefer keeping total "accounts to log in to" at a minium. The Flex has a rewards system similar to Discover, whereas the Unlimited is more static x% on Dining; they both get pretty close to Discover.
Honestly, the product page is the appropriate place for a review of this nature. You are informing other consumers to discount the weight of the reviews to a greater extent than they might otherwise.

I've been burned by this previously and had the review removed. My review was even about how the product was subpar and I suspect it was the highest rated in category because of the offer.

Yeah and that's fucking terrible. They've gone from a store to a knockoff of eBay.
I agree on all fronts. Preparedness is the clearest way. But our economy (and capitalism in general) don't reward preparedness, in fact they often punish for it. I read some article about how building slack into systems is equal to building resiliency into them. How can we build an economy that aligns incentives to be resilient?
There's a second chapter to this story that the OP didn't get to see! If you leave a bad review on a genuinely-bad experience (for example the 3rd-party Apple stylus that I tried) - you'll find that after a few days you get a drip-drab of offers of giftcards to take the review down, promising that the item's been fixed.

The offers escalated each time, and went up to US$50.00. I still occasionally get an email about it. Each time it's from a different email address, and each time it's a different sad story.

I told Amazon, a helpful CSR offered me an email, I fwd'd it, and they took the item down. Of course it was re-posted a bit later from a "different seller."
On the OSS side we have a helm chart that is heavily based on the one we use at Astronomer. That should hopefully get you started (or you can reach out to astro and someone will help out with a demo if you want help on that)
Indeed, good point. I too heard that the consoles are buggy. I think it's mainly a problem of the team not having spent time on fixing them. Note that consoles also are a much larger share of the market than GNU/Linux, so they are more likely to put focus on fixing the bugs in the future. For GNU/Linux though, such a task is insurmountable.

In JavaScript it's only the value undefined that is interchangeable with null, and only if you use == (two equal signs vs explicit check with three equal signs). eg if(foo==null) so I would say it's extremely rare, but if you are feeling adventurous you could of course write if(foo) and it would match false, undefined, null, 0, empty string, and NaN. Which could be an issue if for example a variable is either a number (0) or null.

In different terms, that is a passage that could be taken directly out of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals
You're not reading this correctly. It's saying that when somebody says "Open Source sucks compared to these proprietary options" Open Source people have to argue 1) that it actually doesn't suck, or 2) that it sucks because of reasons A, B, and C that will be overcome, or 3) agree that it does suck and will continue to suck (but maybe you should still use it because it's free or something.)

Free Software people can just say "Yeah, that's bad. I hope it gets fixed soon. Can you fix it? Do you know a company that might sponsor someone to fix it?"

There's no need to defend Free Software. It's ours and it would be great if it gets better. We should work on it.

edit: Free Software is in a way less ideological than Open Source. Open Source relies on a sort of "invisible hand" that insists that the source being available for viewing and modification by the general public will make it more secure, result in fewer bugs, and in other ways result in higher quality. Free Software people hope these things are true, but they would prefer Free Software even if they weren't. They don't need to believe in any positive effect on software quality to believe in Free Software; instead they believe that people should have access to the control systems of the hardware that surrounds them. This is nearly orthogonal to software quality, other than that software quality can help propagate accessible control systems.

If Free Software can't keep up with the state of the art, I guess I'm going to always have old things.
