As an American, most places that I've lived in across the country had a delay before the hot water kicked in. Of course anyone can modify their home to do whatever they want, but we're discussing the average system in place in most residences.

It's not a "gross oversimplification" if it's the typical result.
Interesting article, but I hypothesize about the origins differently.

Why do men have external penises? Part of the external physicality and "emphasis" in our anatomy is as a mutual pleasure seeking signal. The idea of erogenous zones is what is attractive in both breasts and penises. It's the fact that the person can be sexually stimulated, which in turn can lead to joint sexual stimulation (and side effects related to reproduction). It's why fundamentally a sensitive, healthy breast is most attractive (not necessarily the size).

It's a biological part of the reason of why we project our own desires onto other people. Hormones are strong in most men and women (and have other network effects with precocity and resource accumulation/survival).
No, they’re an asshole and I'll happily stand by that.

You see, there are things called Law Societies or Bar Associations that are built to accept and investigate these types of complaints. That's the nature of regulated professions - there are places to complain and investigate. They take complaints like this very seriously and investigate them with almost unlimited power.

Public attacks like this are a sign that either the commenter doesn't have a clue how to deal with problems like this in a more professional way. Or the commenter does know, failed to make a case and has an axe to grind.
> The last year offered a window into the future. Many industrial economies were taken offline to an unprecedented degree.

Um, what got taken offline?

The service economy got taken offline. And it contributes very little to the emissions problem.

Driving got knocked down some, but not as much as you would think. Sure, HN denizens all went into hibernation, but most of them work in tech and account for a fairly small number of the total employment numbers.

Manufacturing actually went up in most sectors.
I suppose Google didn't consider that this would further fuel anti-mask/vax conspiracy theories and further harm efforts to eradicate pandemics and viruses.
He claims that this all supported by precedent (and the US Constitution itself!), without citing any of the precedent.
I find how people use tabs a lot like how people use Excel. Excel is super flexible with thousands of features, but people only use a few of them. The rub is each person uses a different few. Tabs are similar. They are a flexible tool and people design personal workflows around them.

How I use tabs is probably nothing like how you use tabs or another random person uses them. I’m actually fascinated how people design their own workflows in this way. Anytime I see someone’s screen I end up with a ton of questions asking ‘why’.
You would assume incorrectly.
Irrespective of a ideology focused around consumerism, overconsumption and short-term gain by huge corporations who pay no cost for the future damage they are causing?

There isn’t any biological or otherwise necessary reason why Coke and Pepsi need to exist, and yet we are generating a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to produce it whilst choking the environment with their plastic refuse after it is consumed.

I think it’s disingenuous at best to say “well capitalism has nothing to do with the current state of the captialist-run world”
Who is to blame when YouTube censors life saving recommendations and people needlessly die?
So what is their position on software engineers based in North Carolina offering opinions on Usenet/stackoverflow/other forums? Or even more aggregious, writing technical engineering papers?

I do not follow their 'logic' here
The nuanced, balanced (albeit uselessly high-level) read would be that our systems were designed for more stable weather than we can reasonably expect going forward.

As far as Texas' power issues go, climate change certainly isn't helping, but it's hard to blame it for Texas' power issues. Why? Because it's very easy to blame Texas' power market for Texas' power issues. The cold snap in 1989 was colder and longer, but the result was largely the same as if it had happened in Michigan.

Silver lining though for the environment - the invisible hand has pushed 5GW worth of Cold War-era coal plants offline since wind got cheap.
The uncomfortable truth is that many average Russians support "the official pro-Kremlin" outlook. Similarly, if the Chinese Wikipedia was not blocked by the government, it would probably look a lot like Baidu Baike, and all the articles about "sensitive" topics would be whitewashed and socially harmonised by the "great human flesh search engine crowd". The Chinese government is actually doing Wikipedians a favor by keeping the nationalist masses from accessing the site!
Honestly, I'm not well versed in US law but as far as I understand, you need to show nexus to apply it which has totally different and much more nuanced criteria compared to the GDPR (which simply spells those out)

Ask HN: I can't remember the name of this SaaS product
Sometime last hear I stumbled upon a Show HN for a new SASS product.

The pitch was- a hosted platform to store a websites "copy" text. The text is then easily editable via some WYSIWYG by clients on the SASS's website, then consumed by the customers website via API.

I'm currently feeling a bit annoyed by constant requests to change small bits of copy. If I could just send my clients a link and let them edit the copy directly without involving me, that would be great!

Ideally the service would be able to shoot a webhook to github to trigger a re-build to keep the SSG'd pages up-to-date.

Can anyone recall a similar service?

Netlify CMS would likely be great, but it is more than I need for something this simple. I have most of my websites hosted on Vercel anyways. I've used a great git-based CMS called frontaid.io before - but I'm having issues with it and am curious about other options, which reminded me of that Show HN.

Thanks in advance!
>it would take multiple attempts to complete a purchase and figure out which domains needed to be enabled.

Yeah I went through this too, figuring out all the CC purchase redirects. Some are just idiotic to the point I wish govts would pass a law mandating zero redirects for online purchases. Stripe, Paypal, Square, Braintree and a few others do payments just fine without the redirects so it's clearly possible.

But eventually even that gets solved and the redirects get whitelisted. Haven't encountered this problem for a long time.
Hmm.. how about scientists instead?

BDD – Curated list of resources about Behavior-driven Development
I’m on chrome, but I’m using them through a simple development extension I wrote which examines the url of ungrouped tabs and adds matching tabs to a few predetermined groups that I’ve hard-coded into the JavaScript. It was a quick and dirty hack that took me about 30 min to setup, but it’s made the tab grouping functionality so much more useful.

I’m toying with the idea of adding an options page so that I could release it to the chrome store, but I hate UI work, so I haven’t gotten around to that yet.
The board could have opened schools months ago, but chose not to.

The board opened some schools for a single day at the end of the school year, just to qualify for state funding to pay teachers.

The board spent time (whilst schools were closed) deciding how to rename schools, something which has zero impact on educational outcomes.

The board has a member who made racist remarks on Twitter and, despite not losing her position, is suing the school board: https://missionlocal.org/2021/03/alison-collins-school-board...

These are other reasons to be dissatisfied.

More concerning to some people is that becoming a member of the SFBOE is a common launching point for the SF Board of Supervisors.
I'm having difficulty understanding this line of reasoning. What does the authorization of ivermectin have to do with the vaccines? Xofluza, Relenza, and Tamiflu have been approved for treating influenza, and that has had no effect on the recommendation that people get their flu shots.
How could you reasonably believe that the market for payments is zero sum? The entire market grows every day.
I could imagine a wealth tax movement getting strong enough and that or the threat of it might eventually be able to change things ... :fingers crossed:

The labor class has gotten screwed so severely for so long opting out of the labor economy is probably the most rationale option available for the majority of earth's human population ...
In other words, technology and legislation, but nothing about cutting consumption.

I agree that you name some excellent technologies. I'm just doubtful that this approach will yield the desired outcome because of the scale of the problem.

Are you aware of any calculations as to what precise technological and legislative innovations, and the scale/timeframe of their deployment, would be needed to maintain an average temperature no more than 2% above pre-industrial levels?

Deepl is already so good people don't realize they're taking to someone with zero knowledge of their language.

Food poisoning is real too, and I got a food handling certificate online in 20 minutes for about $20. Is cosmetology that much more complicated (safety-wise; incompetence has its own consequences, same as in the restaurant industry) than food handling? I really have no idea.

It does seem like quite a few of the things that require licenses in Texas would be just as safe with a certificate and random inspections (like they do with food handlers).
But also that it hasn’t been iterated on yet, after 8 months.

It is never on the table, because it is not politically viable, and why should it be when it would be worse than the disease?

We either figure out how to solve this with the tools that we have and can develop (I am looking at you, geoengineering) or we deal with the effect (buy stock in companies that build dykes, sell your home if it is less than 20 meters above sea level).

We are not going to return to preindustrial level society, not only is that a hellish existence but 7 billion is about 6 billion more than the earth can support.

Fluent Interface Pattern – a simple way to reduce verbose code
As a consumer I'm sick of the app and device wars, this is one rare case I wish the FCC would step in and regulate streaming standards so consumers can pick and choose the services they want on the devices they want.
>but you can selectivly allow only the javascript of that site, their framework etc. and block all the tracker/ads javascript with NoScript/UBlock

What's the difference between that and just using the standard easylist/easyprivacy filter? I suppose there's a small chance that a third party site went rogue and isn't on the default lists, but I'm skeptical how many attacks that would thrawt in reality. The attacks I heard of tend to be first party/supply chain (would be white listed by you), or delivered through an ad network (probably already be on a blacklist).
> Why didn’t SpaceX learn from the rest of the industry instead of having to rediscover it?

Elon Musk famously works by „first principles“, which can indeed be roughly translated to „discover everything yourself“. The advantage is that it gives a clean slate for approaches considered impractical when the books were written.
Classic Game Postmortem: Fallout (Tim Cain)
> they're afraid Facebook or Epic would force users to side-load against their will,

As an Apple user, this is my biggest fear about allowing other App stores. Facebook, etc hate Apple’s privacy policies, but the iPhone market is too big and too rich to ignore. If now they can tap the iPhone market without having to deal with Apple’s privacy requirements, I am sure they would be delighted. Soon, they would at least have more features in the side-loaded version to try to push people towards it.

The companies like Epic and Facebook would have saved money by this move, but I as a privacy minded consumer, would have lost.
It's how Anglosaxon civilization may end, but there are Western alternatives with better democratic oversight, such as the Rhineland model. They are creaking under the strain of Anglosaxon propaganda though.
In garlic butter sauce with white bread to soak it in. Very tasty. Snails are chicken taste-wise, and texture-wise - not that much different from the chewier bits that you can fish out from a bowl of Boston clam chowder.
Check Out Anti-Drone Weapons Carried by Security at Biden's Meeting in Brussels
Agreed on missing this facet of their advisory. However, the concentration of ivermectin in the early in vitro study was 35x higher than the plasma concentration reached for the approved ivermectin dose [1] whereas the doses used in ivermectin trials (https://ivmmeta.com) range from 1x to 10x the approved dose daily, with successful results as low as 4x approved dose (1x approved dose daily for 4 days)[2]. So whatever ivermectin is doing, it doesn’t seem to require the concentration that the initial in vitro study required.

[1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32378737/

[2] The approved dose is actually 200 mcg/kg. I used 12mg to correspond to a normal adult “approved dose” for these numbers.

This kind of vulnerability seems to be a very difficult one to plug. Ultimately, Wikipedia should be seen as a source of information, but not to be trusted blindly. That's a good stance to take purely out of factual inaccuracy and data incompleteness - but also necessary from the perspective that Wikipedia has, is and will be used to influence because it holds an authoritative position.
I am double vaccinated. I'm not proposing ivermectin as a substitute for vaccination. It's a palliative which may reduce serious consequences if an unvaccinated (or partially vaccinated) person presents with COVID. In that case, a vaccination would not act quickly enough to develop immunity. Even early use of Ivermectin would not have prevented the EUAs, because around 30% of those taking Ivermectin develop serious COVID, some progressing to death.

The problem is the EUA argument preventing the use of Ivermectin, not the other way around.
Nah. Console exclusives have had this problem for a while too. It was really dreadful on 360 where some devs assumed everybody played on HDTVs despite the console supposed to be SD friendly as well. Some text was literally unreadable in Mass Effect on my 20" CRT TV at ANY distance and was just barely readable on the 20" 480p LCD I was able to upgrade to a little later.
So what happens if you go to a site and see a blank/broken page? Do you just go back and abandon the page? Do you do a full risk assessment of each of the domains? What does that assessment entail?

Nah, I think they're just saying no to any and all taxes.

The "we think there are better ways" spiel is just that, a spiel, meant to placate the international audience until people stop watching.

And then do nothing.
That is not what I was discussing at all.

You can justify it to yourself however you want, but normal people, like you and I, work on movies, books, games, etc. Like us, they also need to get paid. It is entitlement to not want to pay for their work yet still consume it, and it's also dismissive of the huge amount of work that actually goes into the production of media.

This kind of narrow thinking is what has caused schools in SF to suck for everyone. Because Lowell doesn't exist in a vacuum and the arguments that privileged people have a leg up doesn't really make a difference - it is similar logic to burning libraries because some folks can't read.

So what happens when you dumb down the only decent public high school for students to aim for? The parents have three options: send your kid to school where they learn nothing (maybe get a tutor and self-learn?), send them to a private high school which costs north of $50k/year in SF (some are more like $65k... and that is IF you can get in!), or you move somewhere else. But there has been a country-wide effort to dumb down public schools combined with softer discipline (thanks to lawsuit fears), so you might simply end up at a private school anyway.

Add this together and you can see how pushing equitable results by attacking merit-based options only widens class and economic divides.
What a low effort argument blaming social networks.

It's not in the best interest of Amazon to fight this as long as it moves product and make them money, if they really cared they would create a system that detect this kind of behavior or just buy https://www.fakespot.com/

If they really cared they wouldn't allow someone to sell the same product manufactured en mass in china and just slaps some random name to be sold.

If they really cared they would "test" or validate products before they are listed on their platform.
There is little consensus among political leaders who can make a change, but quite consistent consensus among scientists and activists.

Danes/Vikings established Dublin, and Irish urbanism generally. They're like our Romans.

Toolbars in mac apps tend to be really good about this. I didn't realize (coming from Windows) that many apps (Notes, Safari, Mail, Finder, others) are using the built-in toolbar system, which gives you a very large degree of customization. That experience seems to be the default, and even third-party apps like Fork often use it.

You can see it in this article: https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/16/safari-in-macos-monterey-what... (image: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2021/06/how-s...)

Hopefully, they add back some of the missing customization options in a later release.
> And my direct supervisor repeatedly demanded that I pace my classes for the benefit of the single student in each section who was struggling the most

All such effort in the name of equity will hurt the kids whose families can't afford proper education. Eventually there will be larger degree of inequity. The best students, namely the future elites, will be okay, as they will find ways to educate themselves one way or another. The worst students, those "single student who struggled most", will be okay too, as they got all the attention they need. It is unfortunately the students in the middle, the backbone of our society, who would get hurt, like the straight-A student reported by NYT who couldn't even pass city college's math placement tests. Or the intern who just got fired because he couldn't even understand that finding the values of two variables needs a system of two independent equations.
I'm sure it adds some amount of security. I'm just skeptical it adds enough security to be worth the hassle. I discussed the threat model here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27564457 and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't prevent much attacks in practice.
