How is this not true? All good things I have are because I busted my ass and when I was lucky enough to have opportunities I had the tools to capitalize on those opportunities.

Ask HN: .ws TLD unreliable? (currently down)
As I am writing this, all dns resolutions for .ws domains fail. From what I can tell, the tld name servers are no longer responding. This is the second time this year this have happened (that I have noticed). Google searches about these repeated outages return nothing. Have anyone else been affected by this?
This might be ADHD-specific, but these things help:

Taking DHA/EPA and proteins as well as zinc might help too. There are studies conducted on this.

Also, from my personal experience: water fasting for >= 5 days (not only do you get autophagy and ketosis, you get a clearer mind too). If you are interested in this fasting thing, then I suggest consulting Valter Longo and his findings.

If your programming language encourages you to structure your code in ways that don't compose when there are other perfectly good ways of structuring it that do compose then what you have on your hands is a bad programming language.

mRNA vaccines are not new, just newer than existing platforms. mRNA vaccine clinical trials which usually last years (or a decade), were completed in 2017, as per the nature article summary. The technology and its effects are well known in both in mice and human models.

Is there residual risk that there were will be some unintended side-effect when billions of doses are administered? Yes, of course. There is no way to prove a vaccine is safe for everyone in all conditions, (see: Popper's falsification and the demarcation problem). Same goes for any other pharma formulation, food stuff or procedure. However, we have to weigh the residual risks against the risk of death from Covid and its variants and risk of long term damage to me or those around me who might be unwittingly in a higher risk category.

Vaccination is a moral obligation and even if I would rather not, decency and civic duty to our fellow humans dictates that I must. And so should you.

I’d recommend people read the article before jumping in off of the title alone (it’s a js paywall, so it shouldn’t be a real barrier to discussion). The article has actual data on things people are just speculating on all over the thread.
Not in the US. Unbelievably, there aren't specific rules against falsifying returns if you are careful with how you present them (for example, the CFA, the main accreditation for fund managers, just has a "code of conduct"...ironically, the guy who is the director of conduct on the CFA board in my country used to steal from employees). This guy didn't actually know this, he just didn't understand how to construct returns, and made "adjustments" until the number was right. His only real area of knowledge was complex, high-fee insurance products, he knew nothing about actual investing (he used to work as a captive salesman at an insurance company).

Looking at the quantitative picture and thinking systematically is trying to be obtuse? I would also think about gas tanker fires and the systematic reduction of those on the types of vehicles on the road with more electric vehicles.

Many gas automotive fires don't have to do with maintenance either - that seems like a really odd assumption.

Back in college in Washington, I had a presentation to give in a class about privacy. To illustrate how very little of it we really have, I essentially doxxed the professor in front of everyone (of course, with his permission-- he had final say on what was actually shown to the class in the presentation) and demonstrated how public most people have their social media settings set to and what information was actually in the public record.

Apart from things like public Facebook photos and things like public mortgage records and salary info for public school professors, I used the fact the DL number was deterministic to make a really good (and apparently correct) guess as to what the number really was.

The professor was a really good sport about it.

i rather more like OCaml's way of doing things that often releases one entirely from having to write module inclusion directives, since in general bindings are qualied by their module name which becomes part of their namespace. So one would use `Array.map` in code, which is the `map` binding exported by the `Array` module, and the `Array` module is then included automatically, of course. This would be `array_map` in many languages to avoid conflicts, but modules in OCaml deliberately export short names on the expectation that bindings will be namespace qualified with their module name.

It is possible to explicitly open this module, so that one can use `map` instead, but that's generally not wise.

I find having to write a long list of include directives at the top of a file quite annoying, and this also does not betray in what module exactly bindings are defined that one might encounter in the code below them. If I encounter, say, `Net.Tcp.open` in Ocaml code, I know that this function is defined in `./net/tcp.ml`.
I haven't seen that claim, but even their attack that effortlessly took a border town than was completely repulsed while miraculously killing the president sounds pretty bogus.
The legitimately difficult thing that Bend has gone through is very rapid growth/change. It had like 20K people 30 years ago. That's not easy, and I do feel for people who miss the smaller size.

That said, there are tons of small towns that are not growing - indeed, they're kind of stagnant, population-wise . Lakeview, Oregon had its heyday in the 1960ies in terms of the population.

Many businesses exist that can't pay "living wages". That doesn't make them bad, or unworthy of existing. My wife owns a business. There were many years when she wrote herself paychecks but never cashed them. She pays better than most of her local competitors, especially for her more experienced workers. But its mostly unskilled labor that she hires. COVID cut her business demand by 90%. She has managed to hold onto 50% of her workforce.

So many of the selections that great DJs make are curveballs and surprising choices. This is less true in more samey genres, but true pioneering selectors will tend to surprise you with their taste and juxtapositions in a way that's hard or maybe even impossible to really capture in an algorithm.

Put another way, even in something as simple a song selection, the weirdness and contingencies in human creative decision making is a feature not a bug.

The efficiency and cleverness of algorithms can create create great powerful recommendation engines but there's nothing like the idiosyncrasies of a person as a curator.
It seems a fair discussion point, even if you don’t agree that the payoff is worth the effort.

I don’t read it as a negative thing, and for me <500kB seems reasonable. Page size is an aspect of design – even if many websites are suffering far greater needless bloat than this one.
Any app that’s installed by default is always used by large numbers of users. Even if not for real text editing, plenty of people use it just as a temporary place to paste copied text to strip the formatting before copy/pasting it somewhere else.
If you don't have a CI/CD system that already allows you to deploy 100 changes a day, you can't do large scale monorepos, or you'll get caught up in continuous integration hell.

In that case, the best choice is lots of remote states / data sources, independent modules in independent repos that reuse other modules, and strict adherence to internal conventions, including branching/naming/versioning standards running the gamut from your VCS, to the module, to the code, to the data structures, to the "terraformcontrol" repos, etc. Basically, standardize every single possible thing. If anyone ever needs something to work differently, update the standard before the individual module.

How and when to separate remote states is still a bit of black magic. In general, you can make a new state for each complete unit of deployment. Assuming a deployment has stages, you can separate terraform state into those different stages, so that you can step through them applying as you go and stopping if you detect a problem. The biggest mishap is when you're trying to apply 100 changes and your apply fails half way, and you have to stop the world to manually fix it, or revert, which may not even work. It's much easier to manage a change that affects a few resources than lots of them.
So when you go to find a Plumber, Auto Mechanic, Roofer, etc you look at the amount of money you can "afford" than pay exactly that?

so If a plumber says he can fix my sink for $150 but I cna "afford" to pay $500 I should pay $500?

Most of those problems could be solved by good noise insulation which is fairly cheap to add during construction.

Terraced houses are common in the UK and are the worst of all worlds: poor noise insulation from neighbours, tiny dark gardens and very low density.
Interesting, thanks for the reply. I was thinking the rebar and metal straps might act to block signals, but I guess not.
The problem is a few gigantic tech companies did it and it became trendy. The reality is it shouldn't be done until you are at a scale that requires it. Most companies never reach that scale.

11 is terrible for a numeric base, because it's prime. It doesn't evenly divide into anything until 121. 12 is nice because it's a highly composite number. 6 is as well, but kinda on the small side, and the extra 2 in 12 relative to 6 would be nice.
>>Race is a socially constructed category.

This is Mao telling me I'm reactionary. It's Freud telling me I am going after his theories because I am projecting and have an Oedipal Complex.

You missed the point I was making. When 23andMe tells me I'm Jewish and I share 99% of my profile with fellow Jews whether or not "race is a social construct" used by some people for nefarious ends, the facts remain where they are.

Some ethnicities suffer from certain diseases at a rate far exceeding other ethnicities. That's genetic. That's the action of, in some cases a defect on a single gene. If you want to say those people are not a race, then fine, I'm not inclined to argue with you.

The point is that the possibility that shared genetic profiles are responsible for abilities and disabilities- which is something in the neighborhood of what bad racists are leveraging for effect, is not completely impossible.

I appreciate the anti-racist ethos. All humans are equal in my eyes merely for the fact of being human, full stop, no exceptions. It is still possible that genes control abilities and deficits and that shared genes result in shared outcomes. That is still a reasonable hypothesis and in the cse of outright maladies, more than a hypothesis.

If you want to have good outcomes, including societal outcomes, you need to know what is causing the outcomes you have. You cannot dictate causality; it needs to be discovered. Dictating causality looks like this:

Clojure Spec is a contract system, which is a common way to write code specifications. You can formally verify it in theory; ACL2, another lisp, is used in formal verification. It's also hard to compose formally-verified code, as Lars talks about in the original link.
Target date funds are least bad...if they are composed of ETFs. It isn't worth looking at individual stocks. If you want another layer of diversification: add a different asset class (for example, more bonds), or add more geographical exposure. This isn't advice of course, so be careful to understand how any change has impacted performance in the past (it isn't always a good guide but it is better than nothing).
All engineering work is intensely creative.

There are tech jobs which are not creative, of course, but they are not "engineering", whatever title they may have.
It's not totally clear from reading this if this is actually referring to production deployments. It says this, but then devotes some of the article to explaining how they developed a subtyping system for clusters allowing them to deploy multiple development clusters that individual teams can play with and not step on each other. I understand why you would update that 125,000 times a year, because it's your developer feedback loop, same as compile/test/rewrite on a single machine but for distributed system development. I have to do the same thing. But that isn't a production deployment.

I'm really curious what could possibly have change frequency that necessitates that many production deployments. Something I noticed when trying to see why my local homelab network is constantly getting contention throttling when I'm trying to run a minimal local cluster is storing HelmRelease for FluxCD where the source is a GitRepository rather than a HelmRepository means you pull in changes every reconcile even if they aren't changes to the chart and don't do anything to the cluster. You need to be really disciplined about having a git repo be a Helm chart and only a Helm chart. Otherwise, you pull in documentation updates, typo fixes, and all kinds of stuff that doesn't actually change your deployment state but kills your network anyway.

One of the downsides of a polling based git ops deployment model.
Metrics for inflation are costs and wages, right? If mean wages stay the same but the median wage goes down, how does inflation change?

If the buying power of wages goes down in terms of goods/services that can be purchased, how does inflation change?

Seems like the huge QE hasn't caused interest rates to increase. But is that independent of wages/cost of necessities?

Note that these days if you go into one of many bars, pick up certain prescriptions, or buy alcohol at a supermarket, your DL is electronically scanned and all the info is read from the mag stripe or optical code from the back. The justification is that this prevents the checker (check out person, bouncer etc) from violating the law, protecting the business and the employee.

The companies that sell sell the "age verifier" scanners collect all the scanned info, rather than merely verifying age. The big pharmacies and big supermarkets collect it all for marketing (in the pharmacy case it's also used for government pharmaceutical surveillance, in particular for the DEA).

I've long been appalled that DLs contain anything more than required to drive (a field biometric like a photo, expiry date, class of service, and a confidential identifier so it can be checked by a cop for revocation). But that cat would be impossible to stuff back into the bag.

This is one of the larger issues. One of the last pieces of PII for online fraud is an accurate DL#. In the past it was as easy as only using algorithmically generated numbers in states like FL.

Every thing else is incredibly easy and cheap to get. DL# was the hardest thing to get accurately.
And what authority did they have to add someone (themselves on personal email)? None personal. The one that they had as an employee.

Would they had been added to that list using their personal email if they removed themselves THEN asked someone with the authority to do so to add them back on their personal account? Everything points to no. Ergo they misused their employees position.

Does anyone have a better reference for how this is calculated?

I’m struggling to trust a paid newsletter called “Shadow Government Stats” that doesn’t include any references to how this is calculated or what data they’re using as a source. The text hints that it’s using previous official methodologies but the graphs are labeled with things like “ShadowStats Alternative”.

Also, the graphs suggest that inflation has been hovering around 10% and peaking up around 15% since around year 2000 and continuing for two decades. 10% compounded annually for 20 straight years would make everything 6.73X more expensive than it was in 2001, which is clearly not true.

Something is very wrong with these statistics. I think the author is pandering to popular inflation fears in order to get more paid subscribers.
Then you've left the realm of formal specification of systems, though, so you're entirely outside the scope of the problem.
