My MD offers lab tests for Chlamydia, Bartonella, different strains of Borellia, Yersinia, Ehrlichia amongst others, she also offers tests for HPV and Mono. To be honest: I have no clue what is causing which exact symptom, it's also often the immune response / inflammation that's the reason for the pain and other problems.

Edit: forgot to answer your question. yes, in my case it was episodes of joint pain, neck stiffness, lightheadedness, heavy fatigue, numb fingertips, skin problems, heavy mood swings and more with symptom free times in between for more than 20 years - often triggered by stress but not always. And the symptoms got worse with me growing older.

The condition is not easy to diagnose and you need the right specialist, there's lots of snake oil out there and treatment is longterm and without a guarantee to cure 100%.
Idk, sleep has never been boring for me. It's something I consciously look forward to/anticipate(?).
I challenge Adam Greenfield, the writer of the article to live independent of fossil fuels. Until then he's a hypocrite trying to ban what other people are doing with their lives.
Privately or as a business? If privately, I'm very curious what kind of things you order.

Even if I'd replace all my store visits (grocery store, hardware store, electronics store are the main ones) with online orders, I'd probably still not oder more than once every five days (or maybe once every 10 days during covid, now that I go to the grocery store less often).

Or are you talking individual items, like you buy groceries from Amazon and every item is a separate order because they all ship from different sellers?
If I may, one suggestion regarding the plastic frame - maybe work a bit on the quality and feel of the frame (unless pictures are of a prototype). I know it may not sound like a big deal, but I think that a good product presentation goes a long way.

Looks very promising, congrats on launching.
E.g. buy house. Get deed saying you own house. Instead of getting deed as a piece of paper and your name in town books you get a NFT and its stores details on a blockchain ledger.its just a new medium of storing data securely. What you use it for is upto you.
You say “definitely not” so surely. It may not be, but if you’re going to disprove a claim you should probably provide something to back it up, especially if the claim itself has no proof. It’s easy to read your comment and believe you, but it’s just as easy to read the post and believe it.
Sometimes the genocide runs in the opposite direction, e.g. the Janjaweed (pastoralists) militia in Darfur, Sudan. Global warming led to a drought, the farmers enclosed their lands to prevent grazing, and the Sudanese government used the ensuing tensions to enroll the Janjaweed in their militia. Whether pastoralists qualify as hunter-gatherers depends on your definition, of course, but they are certainly mobile.

And of course, on a much grander scale you have Temujin (Genghis Khan) and the Mongols.
My hunch which is that the term "dimension" is an example of overloading a word which originally simply meant the three coordinates required to describe a point in traditional Euclidian space. With the introduction of the fourth 'dimension' (time) the floodgates broke open and with mathematics in the lead any attribute can now be said to be a dimension. For people still holding on to (and valuing) the original meaning it becomes confusing.

Case in point is the star schema of traditional data warehouses: there is no end to the number of 'dimensions' that a fact may have. But they are really just attributes. Same could be said of dimensions in mathematic; they simply denote attributes, albeit in somewhat 'spatial-like' domains.
There's also the first episode (titled "Stopa", or Footprint) of the West German-Czechoslovak (!) series Dobrodružství kriminalistiky (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0562585/, The Adventure of Forensic Science), which is a docudrama anthology of forensic science breakthroughs throughout history (often about the first use of a particular technique to solve a case).
Ironically I do not buy books from Amazon due to the atrocious quality of their 'print on demand' titles. These look like they are printed with a 5 year old heavily abused inkjet.

Part of the appeal of reading deadtree is the paper feel, smell and type quality. Majority of paper backs from amazon are nigh unreadable.
The presence of harm cannot be decided solely on a individual basis, to be solved by lawsuits.

Just as you cannot solve the problem of harmful emissions or pollution by measuring individual harm and somehow tracing that back to the source.

How would a person trace their illness caused by PFOA emitted by DuPont, if DuPont could simply counter with "prove that the specific PFOA molecules that made you sick came from our plant."?

It doesn't work that way, and for damn good reason. You don't have to prove specific individual harm, in order to condemn and regulate actions that do harm on societal, national or global scale.

Cryptocurrency demonstrably does harm by vastly increasing global power consumption, plus the cost and environmental damage from producing the increasing amounts of hardware needed to run crypto as a whole.

That is why regulation is needed, because we cannot let the misguided desires of a few crypto-obsessed tech heads contribute to climate change on such a scale.
> murderous systems like communism and national socialism

To be fair, democracy is also very murderous. Western countries are constantly killing thousands of civilians abroad in the name of freedom.

That's definitely a Berlin experience. I used to live in a shady corner of Mitte and it was common for the delivery notes to be stolen from the front doors (naturally for people to go and pickup the package from neighbours etc).

I never ordered there, always to my employer's office. I had my neighbours ringing me multiple times, looking for their package (that naturally wasn't there).
> I guess Italy has a lot of old buildings, and Mussolini & co. didn't care about these ones.

Yes and no, while Italy has lots of old buildings, that wasn't the reason here to overlook destroying those.

Rather, this was the newly annexed province with a population speaking natively German (or better a German dialect related to the Bavarian one). Mussolini tried hard to subdue the population, forbidding also to teach German in schools for a time, which resulted in the "Katakombenschulen", schools in the underground which taught childern in German secretly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakombenschule

So where to carry out destructive projects to build power plants and the-like than in the freshly annexed area?
Mussolini moved lots of Italians from the south to that area to enforce Italianisation, those people often were forced to do so and coming from a totally different climate they struggled with the harsh winters in the mid of the Alps.

Quite the messed up period which lasted, at least to some degree, even after Mussolini's death.

This is a thing, at least in the Netherlands. Especially if you order from smaller shops. I hardly ever do that, but it really does happen.
Why wouldn’t I use cockroachDB?
>It's not that people think you need to pay for your past "transgressions"

Well we disagree about this. It often seems to be a certain amount of glee involved when someone posts something from someone's online past that might not have been a big issue back then but is a hot-button issue now. Or something that they might have childishly or ignorantly said back then. Or something that they have completely changed their view on now.

But it doesn't matter. They all seem to be immediately followed by calls of some sort of "punishment" to fit the past "crimes".

Who knows what hot-button issues of the future might be?
I think the situation is far more dire. The same types of political ideologues are taking over FAANG and other tech spaces, and other information outlets, like Wikipedia, where only "approved" or "authoritative" sources are typically accepted.

Corporate and social culture have been hijacked by a sort of soft, insidious, growing authoritarianism and the consequences for the future of the west are severe, especially because these newly dominant voices are increasingly openly hostile to the ≈50% of the population whom they are effectively disenfranchising. Even fundraising for controversial figures who have anything remotely in common with right of center ideology is impossible between the fundraising sites and credit card companies. Something's got to give and it won't be pretty for anyone.
The typical scenario is an indigenous woman going to the hospital to give birth, and the doctor refusing to give her the newborn until she "agrees" to ligation. It's not official government policy, just as killing people for driving while black is not official government policy in the US, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, nor that it is punished when found out.
Nope, that would be same old Xylitol
I get up at 5AM, most days. On weekends, I let myself “sleep in,” to 5:30 or 6. Sometimes, I take short naps, during the day (“short” meaning that I lie in a recliner for an hour or so, and “nod off” for a couple of 15-20 minute snoozes).

That seems to work for me. Couldn’t do that, going into an office, so WFH FTW.

I often get more accomplished by 8AM, than I used to get done in half a day, at the office. I find that my bug-hunting is best done early.
So people aren't allowed to criticise the system they live under?

Every time I see this take, I am reminded of this comic: https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/
I think your point is actually a good one. You do need deep proficiency to be able to use data structures creatively. I think your tone is just giving me an aneurysm.

My objection is that somebody who had been working with a narrow intensity in a specific field could be a very capable programmer without having the sort of general proficiency to do well in this kind of interview. That doesn't mean they are a 'product engineer'. It just means they are somewhat specialized.
>I think education is good. But that's not what school is. Everything a kid learns in 13 years could he learned in 5

Everything except socializing witht their peers over a period of time they develop psysiologically (kid to puberty to adulthood).

That school can be a hostile environment is part of this too, since even more so can be the rest of life it prepares people for. At least in school you can learn about bad people in a low stakes situation (not being part of the cool gang, getting mocked for your appereance, or not being invited to a party, for example) - in real life not knowing how to deal with such people can cost you your job, money, health, even life.

It's also about what exactly kids will do when they're 10-12 (after those "5 years of condensed school"). Just run around when their parents work?

And where does the optimism that kids can learn "in 5 years" what they are taught in 13? Most kids don't even learn what they are taught in 13 - even in the US where the curriculum and demands are laughable by European standards.

>And we can teach our own kids. And we should.

That would be a nightmare and is rightly forbidden in many parts of the world.

The kid will not be socialized with his peers, will be taught what some (probably biased, abusive, or paranoid) parent wants to teach them, and generally be kept out of society. Forget abusive school environments, home-schooling is an order of magnitude better way to raise a dysfunctional adult.

There are many ammendments that can be made to the greatly ineffictive school system, but "home-schooling" and "condense it to 5 years" are not the ones I'd choose.

Well paid, highly motivated teachers would be a good place to start thou, as they can make all the difference - and old adults will still reminisce about those school teachers that made a difference to their lives or instilled them passion for this or that subject.

Yeah, and I suspect that often what employers really fear is that publications like the New York Times will join the pile-on and a lot of the really aggressive, fire first and ask questions later approaches are attempts to get ahead of the story before they do so that the news headlines are about an ex-employee and it's clear what their stance is.

That lecture (from 2005) is how I first came across this idea of computer science not being about computers. It was interesting (though not massively surprising) to discover that similar arguments have been made for several decades earlier.
Mobile dialogs where accept all is nice big touch area and "Options" is a link where you need to scroll it into view and the touch area is small and right against the accept button are another peeve.

To me the title invokes a book:

- about causal interferences

- which have been subjectively selected by the author

- without any claim for completeness

If this is the content of the book it is a suitable title.

>Far too many variables to change at once. Do they have such little idea of which one of these variables matters that they had to bunch them into giant groups? My guess is they did everything they felt might help slow aging... which isn't good science.

>The reason people don't read the article: They just want to socialize

At first glance, I figured you were talking about private conversations. Curiously it's just as applicable in that context. Nobody has time to really read anything anymore, but people sure do love linking stuff nonetheless.

It's the same dynamic just with differing magnitude of dissemination.

>Many people here like to think HN is some bastion of intellectual conversation ...

I disagree with this in an unduly hostile manner that will involve absurd levels of pedantry unfolding over the course of days. The final toll will be two dozen replies deep despite automated countermeasures' best efforts at discouraging this.

>... and it is to some extent ...

Thankfully the neat moments here make it still worthwhile. :)

Originally, under "I country 2 systems", it was "you leave or nothing changes". Then every few years the CCP has changed the deal, making it worse. So really, the deal is "you leave or you stay and we gradually ruin everything".
I had the same question, which led me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakka_cuisine#Hakka_cuisine_in...

Apparently there was a large wave of Hakka immigration into India, where they developed a kind of fusion cuisine, which they brought with them when later moving to Canada.

You are right, it's OK to criticize the system, it's just frustrating for me as a Bitcoin holder to be criticized for Bitcoin using 0.1% of the worlds energy while for example for video gamers not getting the same criticism.

Take away Netflix, my car or social media from me, I don't care, I will live fine without them. But take away my Bitcoin and my life gets devastating, just like for other people who realized that their savings are done (I'm not afraid of Bitcoin going away though).

As for NFTs, sure, right now they are useless, but I see them as experiments for the future of digital ownership accounting in the future.
Covering a quarter of your energy needs from hydro would be immense for balancing of other sources that need it. So I definitely wouldn't scoff at hydro.
Do you know other people who agree with your last sentence? I'm curious how widespread this view is.
Concrete is not really the issue for hydro, it's the decomposing plant matter.
There are multiple ways we can frame the solution to this. Other developers (all of whom are much more capable than I am) have attempted to address this problem by designing new languages, or by designing new development environments. (Eve, LightTable, SmallTalk etc..).

It seems to me right off the bat that the nature of the visualisation required is very much an application dependent thing, making it hard to design a general-purpose solution for any but the most trivial of use cases. Secondly, moving to a new programming language (or even a new development environment) is not something that most of us have the freedom to do in our daily work, and overcoming that inertia is a real challenge.

The vision is, however, compelling enough for us to persist. Besides, giving up is never something that I like to countenance. Perhaps there's an easier and quicker way?

Dynamic languages like Python (and anything else with an 'eval') certainly offer the ability to reload program logic on the fly, and it's not terribly difficult to monitor the file-system and trigger re-loading functionality when it changes. Couple this with a data flow framework that guarantees determinism (e.g. a Kahn Process Network), and you've got the beginnings of something that can run and re-run chunks of program logic and compare the outputs. Couple this with some nice building blocks for program-state introspection and visualisation ... and I think you get a significant distance of the way towards the vision of interactive, dynamic, graphically rich (and distributed!) programming.

I.e. rather than looking for a panacea or a magic bullet, we can just try to use the tools that we have today to get as close as we can to the vision that so many of us share.
I bought two bath faucets. Amazon shipped the wrong color, I returned them but Amazon refused to refund me. They just kept them, wouldn't refund or return. Talked to several people including managers. Still owe me $700.
Amazon works great when it does, when it doesn't the whole system collapses.
I hope that such a thing happens, it's too big and useful of a project to die like this.

This just feels like traditional blockchain tech (putting the city ledger with all deeds in a cryptographic ledger)? That one I can understand. Non-distributed but public ledgers is one of few good use cases I can see for blockchains.

> In Europe, "Computer Science" is translated with a word that is a mix of "information" and "mathematics".

I don't think the "ics" in Informatics comes from "mathematics". It is more general: Aesthetics, Economics, Genetics, Linguistics, Physics, Statistics. It just means "the study of".
In the situation where you want to distribute a sensitive file without a trusted third party of any kind of key infrastructure in place, it's probably easier to not bother with public key encryption. Which isn't too bad:

gpg -c secretfile.zip

Not sure it can get much easier? To decrypt:

gpg secretfile.zip.gpg

The point is that gpg is a tool that most people either already have or can install in a trusted way without downloading binaries from public web pages. Even more common to have installed is openssl:

openssl enc -aes256 -in secretfile.zip -out secretfile.zip.enc
openssl enc -d -aes256 -in secretfile.zip.enc -out secretfile.zip

Using these tools are perfectly secure for all practical attacks. The hard part is transmitting the password over a secure channel.

Public key encryption is even more useful, but requires a little more knowledge on the end user's part on key pairs, signing keys, publishing them etc. Should an end user just wish to transmit an encrypted file then symmetric encryption is easier to understand.
Amazon is an easy target. Plus, I think many are referring to Marketplace and non-Amazon shipped orders where buyers lacked some basic common-sense. (E.g. 50% off cameras from a seller who just signed up...)
My general rule is: Do not buy anything electrical (plug in or battery) or anything that goes in to your body from Amazon.

I would definitely not buy dog medicine.
It's similar, but Phabricator patches are submitted via API to Differential instead of to a mailing list. Phabricator provides Arcanist (arc) to interact with its API from command-line, but some projects has their own tooling around it (e.g. Mozilla uses moz-phab as a wrapper around Arcanist).

Though I think the main selling point of Phabricator is its issue tracker (Maniphest). It is very, very, very nice. May be even the best in class. The company I'm working for switched to JIRA and we still miss Phabricator's.
Chrome extensions are generally not subject to human review. I maintained one with 50k+ weekly actives for about 3 years and I think out of probably ~500+ updates I had at most 10 go through human review, and most of those were due to a fraudulent DMCA claim (they started doing manual reviews afterward for a bit, then stopped again)
> It seems if customers report fakes, customers who potentially also received fakes are not alerted and that is a real problem for me.

Amazon doesn't even bother to collect that data. If you want to make a return because you received a counterfeit, you need to lie about the reason for your return, because "I received/believe I received a counterfeit product" isn't a choice they let you choose from when filing a return.
