Most of your peers in academia could build up the needed physical fitness in a few days and within a week be just as productive as someone else who has been there for years (assuming similar body - obviously someone who is physically disabled can't compete). By contrast it would take the warehouse workers years of study to write software that is any good.
To be on the safe side, should consider getting your domain in the preload list [1]. AFAIK not all browsers will try http/443 if a person just types the domain name into the URL bar. Chrome does this. Firefox does not. Unsure about Edge. Your access logs on port 80 should help determine the risk. This is more important for sites that depend on radio/tv advertisement traffic.

I had a look at the first link and tried two decks at random. The very first one was a "gayme" (Get it? We're gay! It was the early 1990's), the second one "models" was girls in bikinis (Nice dithering!).

Point I'm making is that hypercard gave access to absolutely everyone. Which means it was used far outside the normal niche technical interests.

It's sort of a neat archaeological dig into the mind of a broad spectrum of people at the time. Rather than a slice of niche technical individuals.
I am entirely inclined to agree with you. It is definitely perpetuated by project stakeholders, even developers wanting to try new tech.

But now that we have spent years training eCommerce user behaviours you do find that people will be busy clicking everything but the product title, arguably the most semantic place to put the anchor, so it may take a user a few goes to get where they're going. The user might not care but many of the project stakeholders do.

While I am an evangelist of a utilitarian, semantic web, I feel it's an idealism that hasn't survived it's encounter with the real world in commercial software. We went from being worried about javascript image sliders being too heavy, to making the client compute and render the entire application, in about 8 years. I think the trajectory is clear, and I doubt we'll have a watershed moment where the whole tree of stakeholders suddenly wants less.
Is it pronounced "jew rigged?" I'd go with a different name, cause that's like the go-to neo nazi conspiracy theory, that jews rig everything.
> Strange how Asian is equated with Chinese.

It's "anti-Asian hate crimes" and not "anti-Chinese hate crimes" because the people being harassed and attacked are from eastern Asian ethnic groups in general, not specifically Chinese ethnic groups.
> Why do you care about this as an employee? You get nothing when somebody else makes the company more money.

Compensation often includes stock; so you do get something when somebody else makes the company money. And if nothing else, the company doing well may help you feel job security and be better able to make plans for your future.

You also may enjoy making the best product you can. When another employee gets in the way of that, it can make it harder to enjoy your work.
I find it personally a bit hilarious - Wayland has been Going To Be Great Soon for over a decade.

I've never even had a reason to want to run it.

But I'm sure it'll be great, any day now.
Not all designers (creative work really) work on Macs!
I am centered pretty squarely in the middle of their use case, so I would be relatively surprised if I'm an outlier.

It also removes a huge relief valve for large segments of the population to survive that can’t meet the bar demanded of the ‘normal’ workers.
"The admission is long overdue, scientists say."

This has been a theme of the pandemic and I hope we have all learned the lesson well. Government agencies and officials will usually be the last ones to update their messaging. Maybe it's an attempt at self-preservation by being overly-cautious, or maybe it's done to compel compliance and basically keep people scared. But the message is clear: the government is not the place to get the most accurate and up-to-date facts in the middle of a crisis.

Unfortunately, the media hasn't done a great job either, which really leaves us with a problem.
Balaji recently said he was in favor of reducing military capacity. Whether that's a good idea or not, it shows that his preference with a cloud country is a non-violent one.

One interesting aspect of a cloud country, or networked state, is that it would be distributed/decentralized. In theory it would be hard to attack in the real world as there may not be traditional borders at all. If if distributed globally it's certainly resistant to nuclear type attacks. A country with a capital "in the cloud" has a digital defensive structure similar to the Củ Chi tunnels from the Vietnam war.
How to use PR firms at startups
Several Ponzi schemes have started out with legitimate though niche investments that provided a good rate of return. It just became untenable when too many people poured into the market and the perpetrator didn't have the courage to say no and decided instead to start lying to investors to keep the gravy train flowing.
If one vendor is offering a solution that vastly exceeds the expectation of all other vendors, current and former, you should ask a lot of questions.

Either they're full of shit, or you're about to learn about some new breakthrough that everyone will be using in the future (unfortunately some of the former will claim to be the latter).
The fact that they happen seems rooted in human nature.

I'm not sure of anything that will stop that.
I see your point, and used to share it. But recently I’ve worked with professional designers that use this pattern quite a lot and my mind is now changed. For example I see nothing wrong with a link to e.g. a creation form looks like a button, nor is nothing wrong with a destructive action to have the lower visual weight of a link (e.g. delete this repo; flag this comment; etc.).
This. As someone who regularly adds (I mean, added) a link to my GitHub library in various comments I make to HN threads, I've learned the bitter lesson that adding the link will often result in the comment getting downvoted.

When I did manage to get a "Show HN" post to the front page (with admin assistance) the link was in the title. Interest in the library was ... muted.

I've come to realise that spamming my library across HN is never going to bring it the recognition it deserves. So I've decided to move on to spamming the link across Twitter and Reddit instead.
How the Sinopharm Vaccine Works
>the article in the parent comment specifically says the garlic oil was canned

Yes, but you said a squeeze bottle "is unlikely to provide that environment" which is incorrect, as the anaerobic environment is created by the suspension in the oil, which separates the garlic from the air. Just because it wasn't specifically mentioned in the article doesn't mean you didn't put out information was incorrect and dangerous. Garlic in oil must be refrigerated and used within about 3-7 days.

I don't think that's an American sentiment. I've heard people cite religious reasons or conspiratorial suspicions about being left to die in the hospital after suffering a serious injury, but nothing even remotely echoing what OP posted.

I'd prefer not to name specific countries, but there are certain overseas markets with thriving black market organ trades. That is what first came to mind when OP expressed the desire that his family be compensated for his organs. Considering some of these cultures have arguably similar existing customs (e.g. intentionally killing a pedestrian that you have accidentally injured but offering the family a large sum of money in exchange for silence) what the OP stated may not be considered unreasonable to someone looking at the world through that lens.
Ask HN: As an engineer, is your brain corrupted by money?
I recently discovered that my brain's incentives had been 'corrupted' by money.

Earlier, when I used to program for fun and for zero money, I was enjoying it a lot and pursued it solely out of curiosity.

Then I started getting paid (relatively) big bucks. I kept telling myself that this was all a side-effect of the curiosity.

But it turns out that now, a high-enough pay raise is enough to discourage me from pursuing mastery.

Maybe my preference has shifted from mastery to delivery, but I am not sure if I like that.

So, how do you, as an Engineer, undo this 'corruption' of incentives to your brain by money?
Even when multiple domains are controlled by the same party, there is often no good way for users to be aware that seemingly unrelated sites with unrelated-looking brands are the same, and therefore (under this proposal) you can be tracked across them.

I think the parent poster is saying that LLD needs to take a different approach, not Zig. But it wasn't previously known what approach that would need to be, since M1 does it differently than other ARM CPUs. Therefore there's no expectation that LLD could have gotten it right.

> you’ve just never had to deal with a real actual problem in your life

I don't follow how you made that assumption about OP of the comment
Something I do is that I regularly do speedrun videos to demonstrate functionality. These videos are not meant to be shared, but I have never done a video that did not contain curse words, because doing the demonstration reveals learned helplessness. I find myself saying "And you can do this by [5 steps]" and I go "Fuck this shit, why is it 5 steps? God damn. This is unusable."

Or I go "And if you want to do this, you click here" and there's an error message that we used to click on to dismiss unconsciously when using the product.

My point is, regularly doing videos that demonstrate how awesome the product is reveal how much the product frigging sucks, because there's cognitive dissonance. You find yourself saying "Oh, you can easily do this" but the application as it is clearly shows it's not as easy or reliable. I do this for new branches and features because it puts me as a user². The videos reveal a lot of crap that became invisible to you.

One other thing is analytics. I sent a message to a colleague of mine asking him questions about why he was doing certain things with tokens.

Track non consumption. Non-consumption. Non-consumption. Are the users able to accomplish core tasks? No? Why? Do they have trouble finding the feature exists? Is it burried? Can the users find the feature, is it easy to use, can they use it consistently, is it reliable?

Dogfooding. Do you use the application or is it for someone else? For example, I asked a ride-sharing app team about some use cases: the ability to block drivers I never want to ride with again (one of these drivers got into three road accidents in a single ride, went against traffic, violated roundabouts, and texted while driving. I don't ever want to ride with them, and a review/rating is not enough for me. I have taken multiple rides with that person giving them the benefit of the doubt, but they frequently get into accidents other than that instance. I want to make sure I never see them again, and I figure there are drivers who want to block certain riders as well because a driver claimed they were far until they saw me. They said my phone number looked similar to someone they vowed not to take again until they saw I wasn't that person). This use case is obvious if you ever use the application.
The part about the honor walk is really great. My father was killed in a terrorist attack 18 years ago and we were able to donate his organs (he was shot in the head so was brain dead but his body was mostly fine). It was in Israel and there wasn't anything ceremonious about it at the time. I signed the consent form, we were given some time to say goodbye, and that was it, we just went home and left him. It was around noon, and IIRC by evening his liver, lung and kidneys were already being transplanted.

I have to say that it was comforting to know he saved lives. We got to meet two of the families of the people he saved. One was a Palestinian family, who came to visit us and were really wonderful given the circumstances. The other one we met was a 12 year old boy who got a kidney, and as far as I know is still alive and kicking with part of my dad in him. That's incredible.

None of this makes up for how awful losing my dad was, but knowing it also did some good in this world is a tiny comfort.
At the other end of it there is a rationale for it.

1. it gives people agency to not freak out because they can be proactive about something. the reason nuclear energy is a boogieman is that you can't see it and it can kill you and there's is little you can do as an individual to protect yourself against it.

2. they truly didn't know how the spread of the disease is since it was a novel virus. you do however know that the lipid barrier of it makes it susceptible to soap and 70% isopropyl alcohol.

3. saying "there is no evidence that masks are effective" is true in the scientific sense. they didn't do studies so to talk about the effectiveness would have been backwards (also considering at the time they didn't know if it would actually increase the spread due to touching/collection/whatever) scientific illiteracy is a problem. the words and processes have precise meanings and those ignorant to it will glom onto certain words out of context and use that as evidence for their conspiracy theories. (see isolation of the virus et al)
Cymer in San Diego, acquired by ASML but still based in the states
After many decades of fighting procrastination the most important thing I have learned is that you cannot analyze yourself out of procrastination. You cannot read articles to solve your procrastination problem. The only thing that works is to start the work. I wish there were something else I could tell you, but that's it. Just open the book, open the editor, open the document, whatever.

Now, that said, you may be burnt out, or you may not actually have to do the thing you're putting off. That's different. I'm talking about something you know you have to do (or else painful and undesirable consequences), but you're avoiding starting it. It's a trap. Just find any way to start. Do a bit, don't get down on yourself if you only do a bit. It's better than nothing.
Yeah, it's a complete mess too. It really depends on the situation. For adults, with their own coverage, most medical debts are covered by the deceased's estate until it is insolvent. Family members are not required to pay the debt (unless a spouse in a community property state) though the hospital/insurance companies will absolutely try to get you to pay.

However, some states have laws that require adult children to pay the debts of their parents should they end up in a nursing home or similar.
Generally speaking, we already do. That's why it's called autopilot.
I fail to see how this isn't objectively worse than purchasing software outright.

That assumes the runtime is evenly distributed, which is probably not the case. But still yeah, there will be some functions that end exactly in multiples of 50ms.
There have been many unprovoked attacks on Asian-Americans caught on cell phone video. I want the men who, unprovoked, attack someone just walking by to be identified, prosecuted, and imprisoned. I don't want the government recording everything, but I do want the government to use evidence provided by private citizens to put away thugs.
Transferring Research into Practice
This number has been cited often. This is not to be skeptical rather to crunch the claim:

Suppose Rentech started with $50M AUM in 1994 (reasonable assumption for a small hedge fund); 50M * (1.718)^20 = 2.51 Trillion in 2014. What am I missing here?

Hi, I have a PhD in virology focused on emerging viruses, and a few months back I wrote a very lengthy and involved piece full of sources.

And in there, I describe exactly how wrong your point 1 is. And how misguided your point 3 is.

Cleaning became big in the US at least before much of anything was being pushed by media/government. I was at an event just as things were about to shut down and it was lots of handwashing, no handshakes, and I think some effort to better clean surfaces. But no distancing and people weren't even talking about masks at that point.

Somewhere in there, there was also at least one published study that suggested the virus could at least theoretically stay on even surfaces like cardboard for an extended period. Which is how people got to leaving their Amazon boxes for three days and spending two hours to deep clean all their groceries.
> In order to make these checks pass the hooks in vgpu_unlock_hooks.c will look for a ioremap call that maps the physical address range that contain the magic and key values, recalculate the addresses of those values into the virtual address space of the kernel module, monitor memcpy operations reading at those addresses, and if such an operation occurs, keep a copy of the value until both are known, locate the lookup tables in the .rodata section of nv-kernel.o, find the signature and data bocks, validate the signature, decrypt the blocks, edit the PCI device ID in the decrypted data, reencrypt the blocks, regenerate the signature and insert the magic, blocks and signature into the table of vGPU capable magic values. And that's what they do.

I'm very grateful I wasn't required to figure that out.
So, I think I mostly agree with your stances here, but I take major issue with this:

> Why would a company ever do anything out of the goodness of their hearts?

Because a company is made of people. I won't fault a company for following market incentives, but questions like yours sometimes imply that a company shouldn't do anything out of the goodness of their heart. Then you get people saying stuff like the company's goal must be to maximize shareholder value and stuff, and getting angry when a company does something out of the goodness of their hearts, which I take issue with. <end rant>
> but there's no evidence disproving the idea that it was the result of gain of function research.

That's not a lens that can be used to usefully evaluate claims.

I can't find any "AltGr dead keys" variant on the OSX I'm using at the moment, I'll check later on Linux. I don't have any keyboard with a key marked "AltGr" either btw :).

However, the canadian english variant I'm using definitely has a ~ key and accepts alt+n for ñ. Concerning angle brackets they are at the same position as on a standard US layout.

I assume that we are using different operating systems and that they use the same name for different layouts.
> The only working alternative (editing if I stand corrected!) using buttons is to make them form buttons. Now otherwise intuitive behaviors (e.g. forward/back, refresh) are laden with "you're about to resend data!" warnings that completely break the flow.

You can make a form with method="GET" that doesn’t do this, works the same way a link would, and can send form data.
Ponzi schemes can operate in the open for a pretty long time.

As of late 2007 it was pretty clear that Agape World Inc. was a classic Ponzi scheme (see FatWallet forum thread full of promoters and onlookers patiently explaining the scam at https://web.archive.org/web/20080503040727/http://www.fatwal... ). They claimed to offer "commercial bridge loans", which to a limited extent they actually did, though they were mostly paying investors other investors' money.

They operated apparently with impunity throughout 2008 and the arrest wasn't until Jan 2009, with years of further criminal charges helping unravel the scam ( e.g. https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/newyork/press-releases/201... , https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/largest-grossing-broker... ).

It was just fascinating to spend all of 2008 reading that forum thread being vividly suspicious that folks were being scammed in broad daylight for a year.
The science is not clear-cut. Many "minority families in our largest cities" have been polled and support continued distance learning while the pandemic is ongoing. In the urban district that I grew up in, I know this to be the case, I am not sure about in NYC.

I think it is funny that outsiders on an anti-union crusade will continue dismiss what students & parents who actually go to schools like these say many of the problems are.

e: And I'm not saying unions are entirely unproblematic. I had a few (2 or so) teachers who were protected. But they are so far from the root cause of the dysfunction in our urban schools. Informal segregation is a much bigger piece of the puzzle.

I really wish there was a changelog for headlines. Too often I see a critique like this and I have to figure out if the comment is referring to the current headline or a previous version. And, if the headline has already unknowingly been 'corrected', it leaves me wasting time trying to figure it out within that framing.

And it shouldn't be the responsibility of the poster necessarily to quote it -- because there's no verifiability there.
I think being really broke greatly hinders your ability to think rationally.

I never committed any violent crimes, but I know throughout most of 2016 I was really really broke (about $15,000 credit card debt, 3 months of unpaid rent, a lawsuit from my landlord for the back rent). In the process I debated reaching out to one of those payday loan places, despite the fact that I knew they were scams. My desperate brain was overriding my logical brain.

I can only assume I'm not unique in this fact; if it comes down to mugging someone or not eating for a week, I'm not 100% sure which option I would choose. I would like to think that I would never hurt someone, but since 2017 or so, I've had a pretty privileged life.
I agree, I'm not sure why people who glorify violence and killing are celebrated

Among other things, unemployment is bad for your city's tax base.
