I personally don't find them to be worth it. The 'community' and 'social' aspects are vastly overblown. It's hard for me to even know when my friends are doing a workout so I can encourage them or compete with them, for example. So the network effects that I expected from such a product simply aren't there. The app also feels surprisingly low in features for how long they've been around. Their Android app is also far behind their iOS app.

So if the network effects aren't there, what is the product? In my opinion it is a high quality, sturdy bike and recorded classes. But those aren't great differentiators anymore. Other brands like Nordictrack have high quality bikes as well, with cheaper subscriptions, some features Peloton doesn't have, and a better 'default' feature set if you turn off your subscription. Peloton may have a larger library of studio classes, but above a certain number having more classes does not really add any benefit. Peloton didn't seem to think the library size has much impact, when they casually removed many classes when they were sued for using music without rights (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/peloton-music-lawsuit-removing-...).

In my opinion, you are just as well off doing a home-built Peloton (https://www.cnet.com/health/fitness/diy-peloton-bike-how-to-...) or considering alternatives from Nordictrack (https://www.nordictrack.com/exercise-bikes/s22i-studio-bike) or Bowflex (https://www.bowflex.com/bikes/) or Echelon (https://echelonfit.com/products/connect-bike-ex-7s) or whatever.
Hi HN, Pts is one of my late-night personal projects :)

Thanks for posting. Happy to answer any questions.
India is currently at 3.5k deaths _per day_. Anyone who's been paying attention knows that the issue at hand isn't that COVID is some kind of super-disease, but that it causes a strain on emergency medical resources that can quickly cause chaos. Ventilator resources used up, oxygen unavailable, etc.

There's no need to come up with a new conspiracy theory about COVID every day. The facts are way more boring, but it all does ultimately check out.
It's not the microdosing that got him fired. It's telling bloomberg about it.
The difference is that the Framework laptop is repairable.

https://community.frame.work/t/the-myth-of-the-repairable-th...

Having worked at a computer repair shop, I can say this will be, by a very large margin, the most repairable laptop in the market. Most defects experienced by laptop users (especially the non-Apple gang) will render the PC a total loss.
My brain is different because I'm bipolar, which some theories suggest is a chemical imbalance. We all know chemicals affect our mood and personality - caffeine being the most common example. It seems obvious to me that humans with higher levels of testosterone and low levels of estrogen would have traits different than those with the opposite condition, since both are known to affect mood.
LoL, 40 years too late. The irony is that if the anti-nuclear environmentalist movement hadn't had as much strength in the 80's, we would be electric carbon neutral and just have transportation to go.
Thank you for the compliment.

I can wholeheartedly recommend starting. Just about anywhere, really.

I'm a total noob when compared with real electronics engineers... but it doesn't stop me from trying things out. [it helps that I have extensive IT experience, tho]

And it all gets easier with time, as long as you're willing to get your hands dirty.

And if you want a few pointers, then EEVBlog (on YT), hackaday and adafruit are all fantastic places to help you get started with tinkering.

And if you want to start on a budget, then get a few basic things from china. Or -- the "elegoo" arduino kit (that I got on Amazon for ~$40 a while ago) has plenty of projects to tinker with. And if you go through all of them, you will have plenty of experience under your belt... and it will sort of rub off on you. :-)
Also theoretically a standardized mainboard design that will allow you to upgrade the CPU + chipset at some point down the road, but of course this is contingent on Framework following through.
I have heard similar stories from customers who switched to us from Okta once Okta IPOed and ignored small self-service sign ups. I wonder if something similar will happen to Auth0 which is (was?) mainly a self-service sign up developer focused company.

(disclosure: worked on a competing product to Auth0 as acmelogin.com)
It's unfortunate the author felt the need to emphasize sentences like "On average[...]" and "Of course, there are many men who don't [...]" so frequently.

This is yet another reminder that my generational peers (I'm 32) seem immature with gender issues. Our collective immaturity is a hindrance in discovering truths related to these generationally sensitive issues, just as the Boomer's anti-drug dogma stunted cannabinoid research by decades.
IMO this tells the whole story:

"Back in San Francisco, Zhu was preparing for an important meeting with a prominent investor group. Believing that limited quantities of LSD would improve his pitch, Zhu, who had never before used the drug, decided to try the microdosing plan. He took what he thought was a small amount of LSD shortly before the meeting."

That's just plain stupid.
I follow a bunch of journalists that linked to stories they liked, then used nuzzle as a news aggregator, 9+ likes might be worth a read, 20+ likes something big going on etc.

Fannying around with Twitters advanced filters to replicate this feels like trying to get the much promised Flash level of interactivity out of HTML5.

I am sad Nuzzel is being shitcanned. Somthing good has been lost.
Recall there was a mentally ill woman from Japan (they made a movie about her as well ) who came to look for the buried suitcase.
You just phrase things the opposite way. I don't think it's clearly better to say the expected happy path or the unexpected sad path in a crash message.

> That reads as "I expect this to be already validated". Is that what you intended it to mean?

Yes

> foo.expect("There was a problem and I had to crash")

> That _reads_ as "I expect there to be a problem and have to crash". But it _means_ something totally different. It means:

Absolutely. That's why I'd phrase it foo.expect("foo invariant upheld")
> The US continues to support unpaid work in a pretty major way.

One of the founding pillars of the United States was the support of "unpaid work in a pretty major way".
the next level is getting rich by selling books how to get rich.

actually, this niche is already quite full.
Gladly :)

Zustand is a state management library for React, similar to Redux or Mobx. It’s super minimal, allowing you to configure a single object with values and functions that is shared across the codebase

Almost all of the “game logic” lives in a single file that only depends on Zustand: https://github.com/TheoBr/dogecoin-simulator/blob/main/src/e...

I am also using Zustand for my job: https://tt.fm

I’ve been super impressed with Zustand’s conciseness and performance. Recently have been impressed with portability too, all our Zustand stores have been copy-pasteable between our React and RN apps :)

Calling it brainwashing is maybe overselling the point, but as an exmo it does feel similar to me to arguments around religious dogma, where people are already 100% certain on the only outcome/position that's acceptable to them, then go find the arguments and evidence that backs that.

It's clear to me that many social progressives find the idea that there may be average biological differences in personality between genders to be unacceptable.

> holding the opinion of biologically driven personality eats away at the concept of free will

Eh, I don't think you'll find many people who dispute that there's individual variation in personalities due to biology/genetics. Hell, "born this way" (for being gay) was practically a rallying cry on the left.
On Windows I use alias: 'alias pbcopy="clip.exe"' for consistency as I use Mac and Windows daily.

ps auxw | pbcopy # After alias works on WSL too.
The incident is him going to bloomberg, not the actual meeting.
That could also be solved by licensing. Stack overflow, for example, uses CC BY-SA 4.0 for all posts, and provides data dumps for anyone who might want them.
#xxxx contents aren't sent to the server at all, if you trust the underlying javascript running in browser.
There was a lot of mental manipulation to scapegoat the Jews for everything, to make them be seen as animals and not humans. I think reading this paper can help to better identify how the media tries to manipulate us.
That's Cunningham's Law. But please don't do it on purpose. That would make for worse discussion overall.
At this point we have substantial accounts from enough transgender people describing personality and behavioral effects of HRT to know Testosterone plays a significant role in things like assertiveness and aggression, at least.

This American Life did an episode on the subject that's worth a listen.

The US doesn't have a switch to "turn off" a country's reserves of US dollars, I don't know where you get this notion from.

> developers control the cryptocurrency issuance because despite the issuance is (usually) determined algorithmically, developers have the power to change these algorithms...If we compare this system with the US dollar system governed by the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court of the US, the Congress, and the US government (in different ways), I’d say that the blockchain developers are at least as likely to become corrupt, coerced, or influenced by the system beneficiaries than the Fed and the Government officers and judges because the latter are 1) older on average, and more senior people tend to act more independently; 2) much better protected, physically and financially.

Don't miners and nodes then have to adopt those algorithmic changes though? It's essentially voting by adoption - if a majority of miners/nodes don't adopt a set of changes (e.g. increasing the supply cap or rate), then they aren't propagated to the blockchain.

This seems a lot more decentralized than the US/Fed monetary system that the article compares it to, where citizens have effectively zero influence on policy.
Naming the production company doesn't get the outrage and eyeballs that Netflix does. Which if you want to get this to stop, Netflix as the studio, could put in a call and get this changed. It all depends on how bad the press gets before important people are on the phone.
This is still pitting two cooperative undertakings against each other, and we really shouldn't do that.

The thing is, we want more power. Like, a lot more power. Power is wealth, there is an unlimited number of good things we can do with it.

Nuclear power is qualitatively about the best power you can have. Absolutely enormous amounts, available on demand, constantly. You just can't beat it.

We should heavily subsidize reasearch and development on new nuclear energy, until we have ten times as much nuclear power as we have now.

And we should do that in parallel with building out so much solar that we can rapidly retire coal completely, because we want to do that in ten years and that is completely feasible with solar + batteries. The new nukes will barely be coming online when that happens.

But the 40s will be a renaissance of human culture if we have that nuclear power.

The scrolling seems like a bug that was related to recent changes. I opened an issue here: https://github.com/williamngan/pts/issues/140
This wasn't at all clear from your question, where you said you hadn't heard the term before.

Needlessly aggressive response.
Encryption is done with JavaScript on the client. The decryption key is attached as hash to the download URL on the client side as well.

When visiting the URL, the key never reaches the server because the hash-part of an URL is never sent and is a local-only thing. So there's no need to strip logging. The client downloads the encrypted blob, and decrypts it on the client.

IRC can go a long way to modernizing the experience without changing the underlying nature of the "terminal".

I mean what is a terminal. It's chat with a bot we call "the terminal". We can look at chat apps and see how we can integrate graphics and commands into the chat without it looking like obscure 80s thing.
And how is your single data point relevant?
What I don't understand is how we still don't know where the damn thing is going to land. We know where it's at, we know its velocity, and we know its altitude. And yet nobody seems to be able to calculate the math for the its de-orbital trajectory? Is our rocket science after all these years really that much of a joke?
Amazon's Outlet Site
Good science validates, disproves, or quantifies common sense. The nature vs nurture question is especially complicated, because a proper study effectively requires horrible experiments on isolating children from "culture" starting from infancy -- and that's under the optimistic assumption that culture isn't absorbed in the womb
To me the obvious conclusion is that the production company puts no value on the wedding photography.

I’m not sure how they could even structure a contract since there is no consideration given to photographer. The photographer gives labor and rights to the photographs and the production company gives what exactly? That they might use the pictures in promotional material? If they must the pictures in promotional material that is consideration like product placement. But ambiguous amorphous exposure is not consideration. So you know, take the deal and forget to put in your memory card. Oops. Maybe they’ll learn a lesson.
The current idiomatic go style is to write your own for-loops for everything. Isn't that just manual specialization executed by the programmer rather than the compiler?
Storage in S3 is not cheap.
> I doubt ' Fix your life in 6 to 12 months by making hard choices ' would sell all that well. These books offer quick fixes which aren't practical.

I'd question this. It's my impression that this is currently the last self help hype - at least it was two years or so ago.

The gospel is that you have punish and torture yourself to accomplish something. You have to "leave the comfort zone" but in a particularly strenuous, masochistic fashion. The pain is then a signal interpreted as being on the right path.

It's not that exposure doesn't have value. It's that unpaid positions start to collapse the industry if it becomes too common.

SAG has minimum day rates for a reason. I imagine major studios could find plenty of people to do speaking roles "for exposure" to the point where no low level people have any real leverage to make any kind of living from MASSIVE corps. The massive corps would get free labor by exploiting the hopes and dreams of low level actors. The free market gets weird and fragile without unions here.

Photography doesn't have the same union powers, so we rely on public shaming as much as possible.
HTML Tips (2020)
A market isn't free unless it is also fair. Have you never heard of terms like "fair market value" before? Why do governments worldwide spend time and money regulating markets? Why do antitrust laws exist?
I've never found it to be an issue with math. Unary minus > powers > multiplication/division > addition/subtraction.

I have seen differences in the precedence of logical operators between languages (and > or but what happens when you have both math and logic in the same statement isn't entirely consistent) and always use parenthesis in those cases--although these days if Resharper says it's redundant I let it remove them.
Yep. It's one of the funny pranks of the Boston Marathon, America's premier marathon. To train for it in New England means training through the winter, far from ideal.

The second prank? It takes place in April, where the weather is unbelievably schizophrenic in Boston -- could be 60 and sunny, could be a blizzard, could be hailing sideways, could be pouring rain, could even be 80. Funnily enough 2020 and 2021 would have both been nice days.

Probably because it disproves the headline, given that all of these people getting kicked off of SFW sites have a popular sanctuary where they can continue making money doing the things they want. A true monopoly has no sanctuaries.
I don't think this author really understands how Bitcoin development and upgrades work. There's Bitcoin the software, of which there can be any number of implementations, and then there's Bitcoin the network, of which there is only one. Miners and full nodes on the network have full control over which implementation/version of the Bitcoin software they choose to run.

So sure, in theory people could be corrupted into for example changing the code that controls the monetary policy in the reference client, but you still need to get miners and full nodes to run your new version of the software. This is what makes it so hard to make any changes to Bitcoin, and forms the stability that many feel is one of its key strengths.
Show HN: CS Weapons – Counter-Strike weapon data comparison app
Cool, I'll check it out. On a similar note, there's this cool little article about transgender guys and the differences they noticed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2018/07/20/feat...
Professional e-sport tournament payouts for Counter-Strike now total nearly $100M; players have everything from huge salaries to sport psychologists, but still no good way of visualising game data.

CS Weapons provides information and comparisons on Counter-Strike weapons, featuring real time analysis and calculation of weapon data.

Simulations are performed live in the browser and are scenario reactive, dynamically updating based on the part of the body hit, your range from the target and more. Alternate modes such as burst fire and silencers are all supported. Modelling additional aspects like recoil and accuracy with customisable shot intervals is underway.

Technical and design highlights:

- Data-driven Vue PWA.

- Installs to supported devices for a native app experience and works offline; a Service Worker notifies users when an update is available.

- Clean URLs that populate application state to support linking directly to comparisons.

- Device sharing experience using the Web Share API.

- Dynamic SVG charts that react in real time and are fully responsive.

- Immersive chart viewing experience with the Fullscreen API.

- Supporters are rewarded with additional features; as a "Jamstack" application, CS Weapons utilises AWS Lambda to query a membership API using "serverless" functions that are triggered through an Auth0 authentication rule.

- Custom material design built on Vuetify, with its colour palette, typography and user experience lovingly pruned and cared for.

- Blistering performance and load times.

On a personal note, I'm trying to do my best as a new dad, so building this during my free time on top of that, full-time work and a house move has been really challenging and if I'm honest with myself, probably not that healthy. Still, after chipping away at this for so long it feels great to finally put it into the wild across the game's community this week.
The headline is misleading and the blog's author is clearly pushing an agenda, but for at least the last 5-6 years serious, educated people have been asking if calculus really should be the peak high school math.

Some argue that probability and statistics would be better, or any of linear algebra, graph theory, logic, and various discrete math topics.
