The 10 minute rule: if you want to do something, really force yourself to do it, but only for 10 minutes. If you want to build a daily habit, commit yourself every day no matter how you feel, but only for at least 10 minutes.

More generally, if you have a bunch of tasks, commit yourself to at least one. Don't necessarily push yourself to do everything but force yourself, no matter how hard, to do at least one. If it's a big task, break it up into smaller tasks.

This one rule is seriously like a magic bullet. 90% of the time you'll end up doing everything. Somehow you're brain just goes from thinking "I hate this, it's so hard" to "wow, this is easy, let's keep going". The other 10% of the time, you can keep your pride, because 1) you at least tried, and 2) it's sometimes a sign of an actual issue (e.g. you feel bad running because you're actually sick). I've heard this advice many times, and somehow I've never yet heard a single person say it didn't work for them.

I think her real name must be generally known and associated with her nickname. I've never gone out of my way to learn anything about her [before today] but I knew who this was about just from the title. I think I must have picked up this knowledge through general pop culture.
Baseball's dirty little secret is out – we decided to experiment
>Thanks for sharing. Yes, I saw this earlier today and both Eddie and myself are actually quoted in it. It's a great article, but the problem is that our phylogenetic analyses aren't able to answer whether the sequences are unusual at individual residues, except if they are completely off. On a phylogenetic tree the virus looks totally normal and the close clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir. The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (<0.1 ) so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features (potentially) look engineered.

>We have a good team lined up to look very critically at this, so we should know much more at the end of the weekend. I should mention that after discussions earlier today, Eddie, Bob, Mike, and myself all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory. But we have to look at this much more closely and there are still further analyses to be done, so those opinions could still change

HN formatting is primitive, but the relevant sentence is "Eddie, Bob, Mike, and myself all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory."
Eh? Matrix is heavily supported by Element (nee Vector), which operates development on the workhorse "home server" implementation, Synapse, and its hoped-to-be successor, Dendrite, and operates a business providing cloudy private homeservers.
I want to given an outside perspective as somebody living in a full opposite of your binary political system. I'm from the Netherlands, where we have too many political parties, so many it's becoming a joke in itself.

The contrast is stark compared to the US because in our political system, a coalition has to be formed after each election to form a majority.

This means building consensus and thinking multi-partisan is the default. This pretty much rules out the "total war" approach on political opponents as it means shooting yourself in the foot. You may need that other party to form a majority.

Therefore, centrism in the broadest sense, which I see as the spectrum center-left, center, center-right...is the heart of the matter here, instead of some barren wasteland. Over 90% of the population votes within that relatively narrow bandwidth, therefore this is the negotiation space.

And negotiate we will. Whilst we too have pockets of extreme left and right getting disproportionate media attention, reality on the ground (voting and policy) is basically centrists all around, with minor tweaks to the left and right.

The above system isn't perfect, above all it does lead to slow progress at best, as policy is watered down due to the nature of coalitions, but let's not stray too far off topic.

The US political system indeed seems designed to destroy or at least "win" from the other party, and basically...anything goes.

Without any choice, centrism is not represented, at least not in media. But that doesn't mean centrism does not exist. I would expect in any developed nation the majority of the population to be in the center or fairly close to it, the so-called silent majority.

The thing I find most baffling is how besides polarization between the left and right reaching new heights, many of you seem so indoctrinated into this us versus them dogma that many if not most comments below heavily criticize or even attack centrism.

You should take some time to think about that position. The point of the article was to break out of your bubble, yet you double down. When you reject both the opposing party as well as centrism, you basically reject some 50-70% of the typical population. This besides the ridiculous notion of reducing something as complex as a human being to "friend" or "enemy".

Way to miss the point.
I don't believe it. When I had a cheapo mountain bike, I could hear the tires on the road, especially at higher speeds. With my current road bike, the tires are a lot quieter. That noise translates into lost energy, including lost energy that can't be heard. Sure the bikes differ a lot, but the difference in rolling resistance is stark to me. The road bike also can roll for a lot longer a distance.
they have to use the whole climate change narrative as a reason to push renewables, because it doesn't make economic sense.
I wasn't arguing against those things? I was just referring to the parent's comment that based on our GDP we could afford to pay everyone a living wage. Maybe we can, but using the GDP to gauge that is not a valid way to demonstrate that.
BKNG is American; The Dutch Booking.com was sold to what is now BKNG in 2005 for $133MM.
Is this your first Mac app? If so, how did you find the process of learning the platform?

I've been thinking of writing a native Mac app for a while, but I'm put off by the bad things I hear about the docs and general learning experience.
Is there any reason to think that the number of people able to be supported is a static number?
Judging mostly by the presented visual evidence rather than the PR-speak, I believe it says they're merging Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Hangouts into a single tightly-integrated SPA with a top-level Slack-like groupware layer to navigate it all. Insofar as a "Google Workspace" is a thing like a "Slack team" or a "Discord server", it'll probably also be internally modelled as a GSuite org.

Again presumably, the GSuite Admin Dashboard would thus likely be integrated into the SPA as well (i.e. this SPA would now "be" GSuite) — but for the people only paying for a Google Workspace, not a GSuite org, they'd probably see a version of the GSuite Admin dashboard where most of the more complex functionality related to domains / group policy / etc. is hidden, with the stripped-down version matching something more akin to a Slack team's admin panel: user management, group management, storage management, and app/integration management.

I'm baffled that you got downvoted. Saying what rule someone broke when punishing them would cost millions of dollars??
25mm is not a limit for caliper brakes? No idea why you claim that. One of my bikes has calipers and can fit 33mm tires.

Also 28mm is extremely common; 27mm doesn't exist.
Steven Soderbergh also wrote about it and made a black-and-white version to highlight Douglas Slocombe's work. He also replaced the sound with The Social Network's soundtrack: https://extension765.com/blogs/soderblog/raiders

Because they had a government mandate. ST continually must renegotiate with every level of local government. This could all be sidestepped by a state law, but this is just another cost of FPTP voting.
And bigotry. Wow... I could put together a nasty list of what conservative outlets preach about liberals too, but I don't actually believe the nonsense.
I am currently performing file handling in my personal app cross browser. I have some limitations though in that my approach sends a signal to a node app that tells the OS to execute the file according to the default app for that file type. I could allow users to determine what files to associate with what applications but I have not written that.
That sounds like a view from last century. FAANG multinational, sovereign companys and they are interested in money and are not interested in losing their userbase. moreover a lot of these companys have offices in europe as well, so part of these solutions are developed in europe as well. having the HQ in one country is only one aspect of a company
It sounds like you haven't read even a paragraph or two. They're talking about road slicks vs road slicks, not mtb tires vs road tires.

In her defense, she was illiterate and was literally unable to understand the evidence against her. How did they know that she was giving people a disease that she never had? And how did they know that there was no way that they couldn't have caught it from elsewhere?

How would you response if a government bureaucrat showed up and told YOU that you can't be allowed work because you have a unique condition never before seen by science? Would you simply believe them?
I don’t see why you are offended. I love JS but here it is 20min of programming jokes in the expense of JS: https://youtu.be/et8xNAc2ic8

As it comes to PHP, I don’t say that you can do everything by a single PHP file in a web server folder(actually, you can but not comfortably). I’m trying to illustrate it’s low-code nature.

There are no other languages that are that easy to start solving your problem with. Okay, maybe Python.

The newer no-code or low-code tools have the same spirit. They are abstraction layers targeting a domain.

These days there’s plenty you can do by programming visually without any knowledge of programming languages. Not everything needs to scale for throughput.
It really depends on your requirements. Mostly don't get a bigger/heavier one than you (actually) need and get one that feels comfortable/fits you. I have an Osprey Atmos if I need more space and I have an older and smaller Gregory something if I'm looking to do short lightweight summer backpacks and maybe use the same thing for dayhikes.
Would you mind expanding on this? What philosophy did you learn? What logic? I'm interested in this approach to learning math.

Shane Bieber is now out with a shoulder strain, so that may explain most of his uncharacteristic performance. I still stand by my general observations though.
Not then either.
Europe doesn't have much in the way of private $200+ billion giants. It's pretty rare that those go unnoticed or untracked in terms of value. When they're around in the US or Europe, you know their names. Bloomberg and Forbes, among others, go to great lengths to track large private companies.

Ikea would be valued at less than Target if it were public (it's far smaller than Target, with better margins). It takes a $200 billion market cap to crack the top 50, Ikea isn't close.

Bosch would comparable to or a bit larger than 3M in valuation. They're not particularly a growing business, they've been stagnant for a long time, that would hit the multiple they'd receive, as would their segment (industrial) and that they're Europe based (European companies almost always receive a lower multiple than their US peers). They'd be worth more than Ikea, granted.
Basically, because we don't want to give kids unnecessary vaccines (contrary to what _some_ people say). We don't give yellow fever vaccines to everyone, only to people in high-risk areas.

Also, post-exposure treatment is almost 100% effective, so the vaccine goes down in priority
Mountain bike has knobbly tread. This article is taking about wide smooth tires.
> You can still create a Google account for free with a non-gmail address

Yeah - my email is elsewhere now, and I was hoping that by cancelling Workspace, my account would convert into the type of account you get when you sign up for Google services with a non Google email. But it didn't.
It is definitely a bubble.
There Is DNA Everywhere
I used to think that CAA records would be checked at both issuance time and certificate acceptance time, but someone on Hacker News (probably tialaramex) corrected me: the CAA RFC specifically says that it should only be checked at issuance time and that it's not valid to check it at acceptance time. As a result, there's no browser that checks CAA or uses it to warn about possibly-misissued certificates. Furthermore, if you reported a certificate to a CA or browser based on an apparent conflict with CAA issuance policies, you would probably get the reply that that only applies at issuance time.

And someone in possession of a misissued certificate that was being used for an attack might try to take care not to present it to researchers doing Internet-wide scans (at least to avoid attracting even more attention). But nowadays it would have to be logged in CT logs, so researchers could find it if they had some reason to suspect it -- or, hopefully, the legitimate site operator could find it.

Conclusion: CAA (by design) typically only protects you from accidents; it doesn't really help to prevent or detect deliberate misissuance. But CT does.
I think a major use may be people relocating to the US with their dogs.
Additionally, current market valuations are so irrational that I don't see how we can conclude anything by looking at them.
I don't think you have a good handle on how the distribution system is sized. Single, large loads like EVs at 10-30 kW were on nobody's radar even as recently as the 2010s. yes, infrastructure was designed for rising demand but not the sudden addition of 7 kW+ of capacity in multiple homes.

A typical EV charger draws anywhere from 7 kW to 25 kW. That is the total connected load of more than one typical North American house. And typical pole-mounted transformers are around 50 -200 kVA. Two EVs added to the regular mix is all it takes to upset the balance.
Wow. Honestly, thought it would be a bit cheaper than this.
I mean, if it's written 100% for HA out of the gate as part of his employment by NC, why wouldn't it just live under a namespace for HA instead of a personal namespace. Using a personal namespace is about building a personal brand at that point.

I was a little surprised: the weight difference isn't huge.
It is about +27% between Conti 5k 25mm and 32mm, or 60 grams per tire.

Aerodynamics are the only real reason, I think.

Is there anywhere I can get a TLDR about the (apparently extensive) background here?
Of course that scenario would never happen, I was being overdramatic to prove a point, but do you think the US has no idea of how much leverage it has over Europe being so dependent on US tech? It's a new kind of soft power. Why do you think China blocked US tech giants from operating there and support it's local players instead.
Way to not answer the question.
If you don't believe Greenwald, try the NYT article.

Ms. Winner may have thought she was mailing the documents to Mr. Greenwald and Ms. Poitras, who went to great lengths to protect Mr. Snowden. But Mr. Greenwald was in Brazil and when he heard about the document, he was not interested. ...

Ms. Reed and her deputy, Roger Hodge, gave the story to a pair of established television journalists: Matthew Cole and Richard Esposito. ...

Mr. Cole put the document in his bag and got on a train to New York. ... Later, he called a source in the intelligence community in an attempt to verify the document, and casually revealed its postmark. ...

Mr. Cole and Mr. Esposito said they’d been pushed to rush the story to publication, but Mr. Cole also acknowledged that failing to consult with the security team was a “face plant.” ...

And so a key question was who to blame for this catastrophe and what consequences they should suffer. Ms. Dombek, who helped conduct the internal investigation, concluded that the editors — Ms. Reed and Mr. Hodge — needed to take responsibility. Others, including Mr. Greenwald, were demanding that Mr. Cole and Ms. Reed be fired, and The Intercept provide a public reckoning. (Mr. Greenwald later relented, and said he understood the desire not to “scapegoat” for an institutional failure.)

> Because they had a government mandate.

It wasn't quite that simple. It was a giant project, and there was the usual squirrel fire drill one sees with any large government project where everyone has their hand out for bribes and corruption.
> This is true, but also underlines the very point the article was making. In the United States, Christianity is the default. Characters are typically only identified if the stray from the default

But Christianity isn’t the default, secular is the default. When there are identifiably Christian characters, they are often some cringey stereotype (the religious clique in “Easy A”, for example). See also the link about “Hollywood’s religion problem” for many more examples. Hollywood clearly, starkly distinguishes between “normal” characters and “Christian” characters.

> Furthermore, given the sheer imbalance of identities in the country, it’s a disingenuous to claim that say Batman is equally likely to be Zoroastrian, because he’s not explicitly stated not to be.

Right, because that would be unjust. Justice demands proportional representation, and you can’t have proportional representation and equal representation. If I create a cult tomorrow I shouldn’t have the same representation as Atheists or Hindus, who constitute a much larger share of the country.
> Probably most of the dogs too

TFA says that those countries represent 6% of dog imports.
A lot better than a coin toss: same word twice out of a bank of 4 is 0.25^2, so 6.25%
The issue isn't the content of the data. It's the context of the release.

You're trying to threaten a slippery slope wherein all information needs to be state sanctioned, but the definition of disinformation makes it clear that the only time information gains that moniker is when it's actively being spread to mislead for malicious purposes.

Quite the contrary to your 'extreme' extrapolation, the term disinformation allows us to identify the use of malicious state-sponsored information warfare. It FIGHTS state sponsored narratives. It doesn't support it.
> In general, people are about as intelligent as you, and at least the same order of magnitude.

> This is less true with morals, unless you’re a relativist.

Even assuming moral absolutism is valid, that very much depends on what measure you choose to apply to values that, even if they are naturally quantifiable (which I doubt for morality, even one assumes it is absolute), clearly have no obvious natural ratio-level measure, making orders of magnitude and other ratio-dependent comparisons entirely arbitrary.
Some jurisdictions forbid new installations of gas stoves, so over time society might not have much of a choice.
But there's rolling "sprung" vs. static "unsprung" weight (the examples you listed). You care a lot more about rolling weight as that affects the acceleration characteristics of the wheel - that's really important at the limits.
They'll live better then we do now. Will they have everything we do? Probably not - but probably in the sense that 200 years ago I could have owned a human being and I could have had them cook me a Dodo for breakfast.

If you ask me if I would trade places with that 200 years ago person I would say no. If you ask a person 200 years hence if they'd trade places with me I have no doubt that they'd say no as well.
Tame animals are probably like kids or juveniles on neuronal and epigenetic level, at least that was the conclusion from siberian artic fox taming experiment.
I would be more interested in what wild animals have to say about life, specially smart ones like dolphins and elephants.
There are so many dogs already in America, I see absolutely no reason to ever import more.

The answer there would be desktop apps, though, not introducing a massive new hole in browser sandboxing. And it's also a dream of something unlikely to return, I think my Vive is the last product I've seen have wireless devices you plug into a desktop to update, and it's kinda a pain in the rear.
I'm hoping the fed can successfully build and deploy some standard alternative to the noxious brew of ACH and wire transfers ubiquitous today, even if this attempt fails to take. ACH is awfully complex and high-latency, and wires are expensive and user-unfriendly.
Today's world isn't much better. I've lost music I paid for because I'm not allowed to transfer it from a device of one generation to the next. It's even worse now that I'm pushed into streaming services on all the platforms that I use. If only NFTs meant I could actually retain ownership of my music collection....

At least I still have my CD collection!
> I have always wondered why rabies vaccination is not given standard in childhood.

Because the side effects from the rabies vaccine are far more likely than you getting rabies unknowingly in the US.

We're talking 25 total cases from 2009 to 2018--about 2 per year.

If you start jabbing a couple million children willy-nilly, 1 or 2 of them will die of anaphylaxis or a secondary infection from the needle prick every year on the best of vaccines. And rabies vaccines aren't particularly modern or sophisticated.

I've realized recently that what I really want isn't FIRE, but a kind of soft FIRE. Basically, if I had the money for FIRE, I would find (or stay at) a job that is comfortable, has great benefits and is low-medium stress. I could forget entirely about job hopping for higher pay (never have to leetcode study again), getting promoted (don't care about more responsibilities, managing, or going up a ladder), and mostly ignore office politics. I could just focus on doing good high quality work and not care about the rest. Basically, I want FIRE money to become immune to any kind of pressure or stress a company could put on an employee since I wouldn't care anymore about being laid off.

I don't know what "truth" you are remarking on here and pizzagate was just the most obvious and extreme example.

Clearly there were people who were turned off by the leaks without actually reading the entire collection or even any of documents. These people were more reacting to the perception of the leaks in the zeitgeist than the actual substance of the documents they didn't read. I don't know what to say to you if we can't agree on that.
Oh yeah, I know. The person I was responding to was talking about "buying an army" to smash other people's bases, though.
