I never need my alarm clock to wake up since I always wake up before it goes off, but I need it to go to sleep. If I don't have an alarm set I wake up all through the night and check the time. Knowing there is an alarm set, even though I never sleep until it goes off, removes anxiousness that otherwise prevents me from sleeping well.

The court clearly stated that the data exporter has to suspend the data transfer if the recipient is unable to comply with that contract (which must ensure the level of protection required by EU law). This is currently not possible for an US entity in practice, as the court also found, because US law does not grant non-US-citizens actionable rights against US authorities in that matter.

I'm hoping this can answer some questions regarding how covid infection works. For example, are you less likely to have severe illness if the infection starts somewhere other than the lungs? How does the infection spread in the body, and is there any way to help prevent the neurological infection and cognitive side effects that have been reported? (loss of smell, loss of balance, reduced cognition and memory).

If there's a way to consistently cause an infection that doesn't come with severe primary or secondary effects (cytokine storm in the lungs or organ/nerve damage) could that be used as a way to inoculate the younger part of the population while vaccine supplies are still scarce?

I may have to rewatch it, but I recall that movie being fairly entertaining, even as an adult.

I also will say I went to watch it without having seen the original Cars, so perhaps I really had no expectations for the film (other than it was a Pixar film)?
I agree and have been feeling this more lately. You know this is already being politicized. Armchair investigators are suddenly becoming power grid experts. The complex reality of balancing a huge diverse power grid is becoming an “easy” problem - if only the evil other side had done what my media source and politician said they should!

It’s tricky - I also have a problem waiting months for a slow inefficient government agency to figure out how to cover their collective asses (or find the right scapegoat). I don’t think it’s unreasonable to make systems we can monitor, analyze and draw conclusions from much quicker.

There needs to be a happy medium- find the problems and “trust the experts” for sure, but do so without being so damn _loud_.

Tell HN: I am acting like parasite at my job and no one cares
Title says it all.

I am a young software developer, in my early twenties. I love programming, I spent countless hours of my free hours on it and I like to think I am quite competent at it. Last year I started at new position in small, startup-like company, developing in-house product. I did very well at the interview and they were clearly impressed with me and my open source projects (they told me after they hired me). In last 2 and a half months I suddenly lost all the motivation, I have permanent brain fog and can't focus on anything mentally challenging. I am on home office due to COVID with flexible working hours. I am quite sure I brought negative value to the company during that time, as I barely touch the code these days, mindlessly browsing Internet instead. I reply immediately to e-mails and direct messages on Slack and attend all the meetings, but 90% of time I just have my webcam and microphone muted and don't contribute anything. But I realized that no one really cares. We have regular standups, but I have been giving the same answer "I am still working on feature XXX" for weeks now and no one bats an eye. Recently I had 1-on-1 meeting with the product owner and he said everyone on the team gave him good references on me and they are happy to have me on board. I think as a developer team we get along very well as people, we have regular self-organised teambuildings. But the company is not doing very well, we are under pressure of our investors and the numbers aren't so good. Some of my colleagues are very hard-working folks and I feel terrible because of it. But I spoke to some of my older friends who are developers at other companies and they told me they experienced something really similar, but most of them expressed no regret of it - that's how the game is played, they said, act social, be on good terms with your colleagues and managers and no one will care if you are actually doing something meaningful.

Should I really be happy that I am allowed to be on quasi-vacation, browsing Reddit and HN in my pyjamas most of the day and getting paid twice the salary as the one for people who have to get up at 4 AM every morning and do 12 hours of hard manual labor? I am quite confused and would like your insights on this topic.
It matters what you're majoring in and focusing on. There's only so much time to teach so much material in CS, for example, and there's not much desire from the faculty to teach numerical diff eq solving (and certainly none from most CS students to learn it). The ones that do go to grad school tend to need these more, but they haven't seen them in undergrad so they end up learning what they're lacking in grad school (or late undergrad).

That said, do you guys really learn/teach the shooting method, Lagrange interpolation, predictor-corrector methods, QR factorization, etc. as 1st/2nd-year undergrads? For what majors? I feel like this would come at the cost of deferring other topics to later years.
Interesting; I feel it depends on the movie - they have a large portfolio now so some sort of averaging is inevitable.

I feel e.g. Cars franchise has limited vision. They're "allright", but not spectacular. I'm OK never seeing any of them again, even the first one.

On the other hand, I find Monsters Inc. a unique movie with a unique premise, and I can rewatch it regularly - with or without the kids 0:-). I also don't find it particularly sad. Inside out does indeed have a large dose of melancholy, but again I feel is a unique idea taken quite far without dilution.

(there are absolutely movies that are way more avant garde or quirky or surreal or even "creative" inasmuch as that can be objectively compared - but Pixar has two distinct audiences to cater to and they HAVE to be entertaining and attention-occupying to children; while inserting content that also keeps adults interested and even thoughtful - that's a specific set of constraints that e.g. "Love Death + Robots" does not have)

And if we look at their entire portfolio, the Pixar Shorts again have some absolutely brilliant, touching, "single idea executed to perfection" entries.

For that matter, as someone who lives in New England, if I wanted to install backup for extended power outages (which do happen where I am now and then), the sensible thing to do would be to get a propane-fueled generator installed because that would work if I were traveling (to keep pipes from freezing) and would also keep refrigerators running in a summer outage. (Added: Maybe a Powerwall-type thing would make sense today.)

I do have a fireplace and a wood stove which provide something of a backup but won't heat the whole house and only work if I'm there.

Worth mentioning, this wasn't always the case. Github didn't really have much of a policy until recently, if memory serves.

The author of the Sprout library, Bolero Murakami, passed away a while back and I took it upon myself to ask Github what they do in these circumstances. It was shortly after that IIRC that they introduced the account successor settings functionality and updated their death policy.

> Why do people prefer sending chat texts instead of calling or video calling?

This isn't universally true. I (unfortunately, for me, since I hate it personally) know plenty of people who prefer voice or video calls. I even have people who will reply with voice recordings to my text messages.

Many people prefer voice or video.

I prefer text because of two main reasons:

1. Its asynchronous. I can reply as needed while not being disturbed if I happen to be in the middle of something.

2. Its not real time. That is, I can take my time to form my response. I can proof read, edit, clearly form my thoughts etc. In a voice/video recording, editing is difficult, in a live setting, I'm under more time pressure to finish my sentences rather than thinking about them more.

I don't prefer text because of technology reasons, except those that make text more asynchronous and easier to proof read and edit.

But many people I know or have interacted with hate text and prefer voice or video.

Recently I have been watching a bunch of pixar movies that have been blockbusters, but I really haven't seen before. I like their themes and story telling, but something that bothers me for their major pictures is it feels like they all follow a very similar overall narrative:

- some sort of "buddy" movie

- some sort of "we only have x amount of time to solve our crisis we got into"

- the two buddies have some sort of big fight

- the two buddies make up

- stronger than ever, they overcome this crisis right just before the buzzer.

Maybe its because they don't do it in their shorts (or its because they can explore ideas more), but I think their shorts they have are really some of their best story telling.
I'm not convinced, and I'm a swiss citizen. Germany frankly seems to do better.

Germans go out on the streets, while swiss people are way more content with whatever shady surveillance shit the government does.

E.g. We have the mandatory data retention bullshit, I'm not sure if this is covered by this law, but if it is they'd have to save all logs for 6 months. Iirc the germans successfully fought this. Btw. these records can be stored outside of switzerland.

Smells like a PR stunt without any substance.

What a ludicrous comparison. Contrasting a physical disability vs. a conscious choice not to engage with colleagues from companies past is a sign of a failing argument.

I'm very interested in the Chainlink project ($LINK). Decentralized Oracles providing real-world data on-chain seems to me to be a no-brainer. A good example that's talked about is crop insurance. Aggregate regional rainfall within a certain geographical area from several different sources into a single value, that is then used to guarantee the terms of a smart contract seems to be a pretty useful thing. This type of use case is applicable to any number of decentralized financial products.

It's hard to imagine this is only the music industry. Human use sex as a weapon and a tool all the time. True, it might be more useful in the music industry but why would sex as currency only exist there?

Where there are humans, there is sex. The obviousness of how that plays out may differ but the underlying theme is universal.
It makes perfect sense.

Talent or high work ethic is not enough for success, "getting discovered" aka someone likes you and invests the initial money and effort is another factor.

If personal effort is not enough and the artist has nothing else, selling your ass for an opportunity to earn millions is pretty damn reasonable transaction. I mean, if Jeff Besos would come to you and say: I invest into your startup $100M if I can fuck you into the ass tree times, very high percentage of HN crowd would immediately say yes.
I really dislike this sort of quirk workarounds, not just in web browsers. It just makes everything complicated. Someone else using the exact same code will get different behaviour, just because they serve it from a different domain. I did similar workarounds before (not related to websites but to specific files), and I felt very bad about it even though it was clear that no more files in that specific format would ever be generated again.

This depends on the people involved. I find most of my programmer friends prefer text in most circumstances, but most people in sales, marketing, accounting, HR and management that I've worked with tend to prefer voice, video, face to face. As do people in other industries (eg my mother loves voice and video and while she does use text a lot, mostly to talk to me, often finds it tedious).
Don't use subtrees, they're even worse. At least when we tried using them for a while before moving to submodules; perhaps they're less of a broken hack these days.

For example, whenever we did something with the subtree it reprocessed all commits in the repo - obviously taking longer and longer as time went on.

Any time you have an industry where the number of people who want to do the work vastly outstrips demand and where there are gatekeepers, you are going to get a culture of abuse.

It comes in various forms: sexual or other inappropriate favors for advancement, verbal abuse, or just abusive working conditions like sweatshop hours and burnout culture.
Chat has other advantages. Lets say you're trying to agree on a restaurant for dinner:

- If I'm busy right now I don't need to stop what I'm doing to answer the call, or you don't need to try again later.

- Need 2 minutes to look up your schedule and suggest a time or find a restaurant? That's fine, I can do something else until you reply and you don't feel like you need to rush the process.

- 6 hours later I forgot which restaurant we agreed on? It's ok, just open the chat, it's right there.

- The chat is searchable, if 2 months later I don't remember the restaurant name I can probably find in a few seconds by searching some related keywords like "food", "restaurant", "dinner", etc.
