Aside: Two tips we've found in dealing with the US system:

1) Write down everything that happens. Who came in when, what they gave you, how much, what you talked about and when, etc. Our personal experience is that the MDs and nurses take much better care of you when they see that you are taking notes. Not only from a fear of lawsuits aspect (though if that is there, get a new practitioner quickly), but also from a respect angle. That and they do make mistakes, sometimes big ones, and having another record is invaluable when it comes to when a dosage was given. The taking of notes also tends to slow things down, which can be good when trying to understand complex issues or figure things out.

2) If you're in for a while, get a bowl and keep it filled with diverse candies. Practitioners stop by more often, tend to hang around longer, and are generally in a better mood. All of which leads to better outcomes, at least that I have personally seen. Though this is pre-covid advice.

And yes, I very much agree, you have to fight hard to get the care you need. Be polite, of course, but do not back down with MDs, they tend to think of it as a weakness to exploit for some strange reason.
Superfund sites are bio hazardous cleanup sites so that makes sense given that it was one of the most ecologically devastated places in the US, right?

Combining a few points into one since they are related, but plant-based meat is a misnomer. Plant-based protein, or meat-substitute are better terms and meat should not have it's definition muddied.

Lab grown meat from cultured cells, however, fair game. Trying to force companies to call it anything other than meat would be intentionally seeking to stifle innovation.
You cannot -- Kindle ebooks are in a format called KFX (or AZW/mobi or AZW3, depending on when you got them), which this tool doesn't support as an input.

If you wanted to do that, I'd just use Calibre, which has really comprehensive format conversion abilities: https://calibre-ebook.com

Most Kindle ebooks have DRM as well, which I think is currently hard to remove -- there's a plugin for calibre that you could try. Some publishers don't apply it, though, so maybe.
I don't really understand this. I've never seen a package of plant-based meat and found myself confused, much in the same way I've never seen a carton of oat milk and thought it contained dairy. What's the concern here?

Bingo! No income tax means governing bodies will make up revenue by taxing commerce/sales and property.
I haven't tried with this tool yet but I would be surprised if so, purchased Kindle books usually have quite a bit of DRM involved.

There are methods to strip it using old versions of the desktop kindle app that have exploits, but it's not overly easy to do if you're not familiar with stuff like that.
I’ve been thinking about this, and I never thought of it before. I would love a language that is both dynamic and static similar to JS and TS. but, when the types are provided, use them to compile to fast code, while keeping the ability to do dynamic scripting.
Central Maryland resident here (same general area as the article's author is talking about). The situation is insane. My elderly parents are in Group 1A and are still waiting on their turn. But Group 1B got opened up, so teachers and others could get vaccines. Oh, and Group 1C also opened up, including other essential workers. At this point I think half of the adults I know are eligible to receive the vaccine for one reason or another.

Three people I know (1 in her 20s, 2 in their 30s) fit the description of hospital staff who got vaccinated despite doing non-patient facing work, entirely or mostly from home.

Schools are being pushed to open back up, and why shouldn't they, right? Teachers have been eligible to be vaccinated for a while now! But I know of plenty of teachers who still haven't been able to get an appointment.

I've been playing the "refresh 7 different websites" game to find appointments for my family and I finally managed to snag ONE yesterday! Except it's in Cumberland, which is technically Maryland but might as well be West Virginia. So now I have to decide whether it's worth spending 4 hours in a car on Monday to get one of us a shot. And presumably do that again in a few weeks for the second dose.
I tried the impossible burger at Burger King. I could not tell a difference personally from any typical fast food burger. Would buy it again to satisfy a craving.
No, your Kindle books are AZW3 or such, and they also have DRM applied.

If you strip the DRM, with tools which are common to find on the net, you can then use Calibre to convert them to EPUB, which is a very common format.

Just wanted to say congrats- I've lost around 15 pounds over the course of the year and found that very difficult. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has told you this, but you should take incredible pride in that.

This question might miss the point because I'm sure a lot of the data interacts, but if you had to pick one metric/data collection system to track- what would you choose?

Edit: Also- what baseball team :)
It's strange what you write about Switzerland, it's supposed to be the 4th best country in number of vaccinations (at 4%). Is that a lie?

At the same time I understand that pregnant people don't get vaccines, as the vaccine was not tested on pregnant people and it's hard to know the effects on the babies. It makes sense to skip them and get to herd immunity without them instead of harming the baby.
In case the question isn't about the format but about the DRM, Apprentice Alf has a wonderful plugin for Calibre: https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com
Yeah, agreed. Maintenance, reliability and tech debt should be first class concerns. Product strategy should include them, allocate time for them and give clear guidance of the trade offs that drive prioritization of these lines of work vs prototyping, feature delivery, etc.

Neglecting maintenance is a very bad idea, but setting it up as an enshrined cultural north star of an engineering department is actually even worse.
Oh, that option being listed as "Kindle" is just there so people don't need to understand file formats currently? :D
I tend to prefer diagrams as code, so yoi can just embed an image that be updated, version controlled, etc, instead of ascii diagrams. Any reason in particular you want ascii instead of images?
Yes, as long as this isn't going down the route of "consumers will get confused" by terms like "oat milk".

People aren't that stupid and the arguments against using the word milk annoy me. I think it's a sign that people are changing their diet and the dairy industry is worried.
I think any mildly political topic disproves your point.

Technological discussions mostly stay high quality but any politics(-adjacent) topic turns into an obvious struggle of moderation and quality.

The same goes for Twitter but the balance of topics is heavily skewed towards the latter.
The universality test itself doesn't pass the universality test. Would it be positive if everything good needed to be good all the time?

Sunlight makes you feel good, gives you vitamin D, and warms you up. Too much sunlight gives you skin cancer.

Sugar is necessary for life. Too much sugar gives you diabetes and obesity.

Water is the basic building block of life. Too much water causes electrolyte imbalances that can lead to dangerous cardiac arrythmias.

Very few good things actually do pass the universality test, which suggests that the test itself may be flawed.

What's the difference between a bubble and personal interests? A technology that allows no way of filtering out the things you find uninteresting is about as useless as one that doesn't provide any means of discovering new interests. Regardless, this isn't the issue we should be focusing on, communities turn toxic when they feed into the delusions, bad habits, vices, and narcissism of their members. That's less of a technological problem and more of a moral one. You can't produce moral behaviour by creating a new (or changing an existing one into a) platform that strictly enforces it, people will either subvert your rules by inventing ways to get around them or they will simply not use your platform and go elsewhere. The same problems exist in the offline world, and it's always more effective to address the root causes of the problem than it is to legislate and punish.

Meat-substitute just sounds like a more generic way to say plant-based meat? Meat is also defined as the edible part of a fruit or nut. /shrug
If we ever start really living and working in space it seems like we might reach a point where going down into deep gravity wells like Earth or even Mars will be too expensive to be worth it most of the time.
Because what we (any country, not just USA) have is not capitalism, so you can't really critise sth that we don't have.
Exactly! There is no such thing as plant based meat.
just about, trying to make it easy to understand
Just in relation to the United States, I think we could increase vaccination compliance exponentially if getting vaccinated meant no longer having to wear a mask, social distance etc.

Where is the carrot?

Some unique features about #Script Lisp:

- It can be embedded in the same page with other #Script templating & JS Script languages where they're all parsed into the same AST tree & evaluated as one [1]

- As it requires no build or compilation it can be easily embedded into .NET Apps to script Apps, e.g. here's a Unity3D example using Lisp to script Unity objects in a running game [2]

- There's a TCP Lisp REPL plugin you can open in .NET Apps to allow runtime scripting of a live running app, e.g for inspecting internal state or invoking remote functionality [3]

- It has a cool "watch" mode that's great for exploratory programming that revaluates on save, where you can do tasks like query RDBMS's, File Systems (inc. AWS S3 / Azure Blob), run shell scripts, query JSON APIs, etc [4]

- Can play with it in its Live Lisp LINQ Examples [5]

I'm not too sure about the "more code in the wild" that would be broken though. GCC already disables this extension, in the cases where it conflicts with the standard, in -std=c++11 mode. I expect almost all code to either use -std=c++11 consistently, in which case it would already be broken with GCC, or to use -std=gnu++11 consistently, in which case it would continue to work with clang even after that patch. Chromium is weird in that it builds with -std=c++11 if building with clang, and it builds with -std=gnu++11 if building with GCC. (Change 11 to 14 or whatever else as needed.)
But neither Taiwan nor South Korea have had stricter lockdowns than the US.
The case counts will go up again within the next 2 months due to little vaccination and multiple mutations making their way through many countries. Germany and US will look like Britain, fighting B117, not too long from now.

Germany is "already" discussing to losen the lockdown and open schools again. It's really stupid in terms of epidemiology, fully understandable socially, and actually necessary in terms of economy. Germany has vaccinated a measely 2 million people, only 900k got the second dose (https://esri-de.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html...)

There's a wave of suicides coming from people who have lost a lot during the lockdowns.
Looks like there is an open feature request on GitHub for supporting Mermaid charts: https://github.community/t/feature-request-support-mermaid-m...
A worthy goal. I'd love to lower the price of plants too. It never fails to amaze me how expensive some vegetables are compared to meat for some rough equivalent measure like calories. The subsidies for meat and dairy are ridiculous by comparison.
How big of a deal is T+0 settlement?
I think IAM is really, really cool. I’ve always wondered: is IAM a service under the hood? Surely not - the volume of requests would be insane and the single point of failure pretty risky.

So is it a spec with some kind of shared data plane to retrieve policies? If so how would they be evaluated consistently across different languages? Producing a shared library that does this in all contexts/languages sounds improbable. But then the policies are clearly compiled to some kind of bytecode, so a common implementation would make sense. But then again it is something that would definitely benefit from centralisation.
Show HN: Hush Docs – private Google Docs alternative that works without internet
Hi HN,

Hush Docs is an offline-first, private Google Docs alternative. You can turn off your internet and the site works totally fine. Your docs are stored in your browser (using IndexedDB/Dexie.js), so you can create and edit your docs whenever you want, no internet or account needed. If you decide you want to sync across devices - or collaborate with others on a doc - you can create an account (which you do need internet for). Your docs are then end-to-end encrypted, so no server ever has access to your plaintext docs! Docs stay in sync using CRDTs (Automerge) - collaboration should be smooth even if someone works on a doc while offline for a while (like on an airplane with no wifi). Code is 100% open source. [1]

I decided to create this because someone asked for a tutorial on how to create offline-first apps using Userbase, which is a developer tool I’ve helped work on to make it easy to create secure and private apps [2][3][4]. I started out with a super basic tutorial, and then one thing led to the next and ya know: Hush Docs. A basic tutorial on how to build something like Hush Docs with Userbase is coming! [5]

Hush Docs is super barebones, so I’m calling it a "demo." If there's serious interest, I’d happily put more time into it and get it into something more production ready.

For reference, here are a couple other sweet E2E encrypted Google Docs alternatives I came across while scoping this out:

https://cryptpad.fr

Airborn did something especially cool worth pointing out: they used a service worker to guarantee that code loaded into the browser came from the latest GitHub commit. [6]

Agreed. Some vegans/vegetarians don't want their food labelled meat either.

However please don't compare the modern industrial meat production with anything like farming from, say, 500 years ago, or with ancient hunting. Modern meat production is brutal (for necessary cost reasons) and hugely destructive to the environment.
Dont worry, I didn't feel that you were a "negative nancy" :)

> "But I want to see the infrastructure as a big spreadsheet, turn on a policy, and see the accessible services highlight. basically I need something like an acceptance/integration test that proves that my permissions work like I think they do."

This problem can be solved by having your infrastructure etc as Terraform templates, and writing unit tests for those. Additionally you can use 3rd party solutions, depending on what you mean by "see the accessible services highlight"

> " I don't think it makes sense to screen access by which network was used, or the source IP of the user trying to gain access."

I would say this is additional thing you would do, but not the only.

> "But maybe there's some advantage with roles and permissions that I'm not seeing."

Let me/us know and maybe either me or someone else can help you. Hopefully my message didnt come as condescending.

Interesting how all the Silicon Valley brainiacs here on HN are far more interested in discussing the semantics of “meat” than the technology or economics.

Kind of disappointing, really.
Interesting if I do English to French on the following:

Hello Sarah, what time is it?

it translates to

Bonjour Sarah, quelle heure est-il ?

Now if I change the input to

Hello Sara, what time is it?

it translates instead to:

Quelle heure est-il ?

Any idea why the one character difference in the name affects the translation in this way?
Where's the stick? How would the US enforce the "get vaccinated or wear a mask" rule? I can't think of any way to do this that isn't massively invasive, and I don't see this as being politically viable in most democratic countries.

I used to use Mullvad but got sick of having to pay them via Bitcoin (or Bitcoin Cash, lol). I emailed them about accepting Monero directly and they said something like "we would like to but it's too much work." Ended up switching to IVPN, which actually costs more but is worth it for me not to have to deal with those shitcoins.
Hmm... "Let's see how well it works." seems to be handled correctly when translating from English into any language except Chinese, where the apostrophe is turned into <unk> and the sentence is otherwise untranslated.

Does that mean there's a different model for each language pair?

I like the idea. I may do it for some (not all) of my projects.
I think it's pointless to view it as some sort of competition of awfulness, but you should know that the worst of the conversion therapy places were way more evil than this jaunty characterization. Some of them were using their own invented version of "electro shock therapy" that functionally was just torturing kids.

Even the more mild places do things to kids that leads to life long mental health challenges. It shouldn't be trivialized away as all just being a friendly chat among consenting adults.
Hmm. The reason ip’s can do that is that for most people internet speed is incidental to how you live.

Whereas these towns would be competing for the thing itself. However there are high switching costs so I could see scenarios where the towns become traps on the decline. Or optimize to get people to move in then take profits on the backend from poor management.

I don’t think atheism is a religion choice.
Religion is about believing the existence of God, the Creator.
Atheism is about not believing the existence of God.
You choose a religion after you choose you believe in the existence of God.
The flipping is acceptable.
So one thing we've done is write all of our applications the exact same way with well defined terms (on a wiki) and a commitment to no more than 4 layers.

* Initiators (things that receive, decode, and validate input)

* Controllers (Business logic containers. One function refers to one business action)

* Services (Used by controllers to effectuate commands. Services absolutely cannot call other services)

* Cross Cutting concerns (Common model objects, logging, top level error handling, etc)

This allows even a new person to pick up a project and orient themselves immediately.
“Technically, at least, information and its flow can be accurately detected and counted (in bits, bytes, and baud rates) by simple electronic devices. Attention is more mysterious, a process that can occur only in a mind, yet somehow it moves out into the world as well.
