Initially it does sound impossible but yes, as I thought about it my opinion changed.
But what really freaks me out is the implication of this. At some point humans could add more knowledge about the planet to the planet that ever existed on the planet.
Can this be extrapolated beyond our planet? What would that mean?
Also super interested in hearing more.
Accidentally removed my comment when I wanted to reply, but whatever.

I never said that we can infer everything from European data. I never said collecting African genetic data is pointless. I know that Europeans do not vary nearly as much from a genetic standpoint as Africans (although they're definitely not clones). I know you can't generalise using European/Asian data. I know larger samples describe the population better.

All I said is that it's easier to analyse data that is less variable, and that Europeans aren't clones. Both points are true. Finding patterns is more difficult when there is more variance in the data. That doesn't mean it's pointless, it's actually more useful, but it's also more difficult.
Multifunctional wide-angle optics and lasing based on supercell metasurfaces
True, but whether or not it should be or not doesn't change the fact that it is the current state of the US.

And it's not really just the phone number, but the combination of personal info that allows for social engineering - without having the existing customer confirm the transfer.
Gender politics aside… is this legal (in the eyes of the US federal govt) for the state of California to do? Is it precedented for one state to ban state-funded interaction with a fellow state for some cause?
I imagine most people do not share your attitude, me included. Especially profile sections set to private staying that way needs to be trusted.
For self-hosting, MariaDB (or Percona or MySQL) with InnoDB is really unbeatable.

- Version upgrades don't require migrations.

- Replication is pretty easy, well understood and allows version differences between the two ends. Nowadays they even got crash resilience right.

- It doesn't require VACUUM or any other regular maintenance.

- XtraBackup is awesome.

I've been running a pretty large and rather critical MariaDB database for about 15 years (of course it has migrated to a different machine a couple of times), without anything 'interesting' happening. (Except for power failures messing up replication consistency - but that seems to be a thing of the past.)

My experiences managing PostgreSQL were... not as great. (Though with regard to most other aspects, PostgreSQL is a lot nicer than MariaDB.)
And you don't usually grow your own food, yet it's not seen as strange.
This shows that there is room for a well designed, easy menu app. No ordering, no separate app installs, no mandatory accounts for the end-customer, no PDF menus.

Native app clip / instant app is a also a good use case for this if you really want to develop more than just a good mobile site. Add the ability for the owner to quickly make changes to the menu (dish of the day?) and it should be better than what we have right now.

Of course only if you have decent internet coverage at the place.

Now when cold-calling scammers that buy lists from ZoomInfo say they 'got my info from LinkedIn' they may not be lying.
One of the problems of the current structure (at least as of five-ish years ago) is that most of the EdX employees are on the MIT payroll and benefits system (meaning the benefits are pretty great, but the pay bands are incompatible with competing [financially] for engineering talent against the actual tech market). If this breaks that logjam, it could be good for EdX in this one, small regard.

Fundamentally though I agree with your summary; I trusted EdX a lot more because it was tightly affiliated with MIT and Harvard. Spun out into an arms-length institution, it seems like it will now be more likely to be driven into the ground by its leadership at some point in the next 100 years because of the lack of enough stabilizing "keel" provided by the affiliation with world-class universities.
Ask HN: What do we know about nutrition?
Are there some serious facts we know about nutrition or is it all marketing?
Actually this is something that's been bugging me forever - maybe someone knows the answer? What's the incentive to advertise one game but sell another? There's clearly a market for the "pull the pin" kind of game, they don't seem to be particularly hard to make and these ads are by large game publishers. Why not just make the game that people actually want?

I think the real learning here is not to colocate different things in a single GCP project. AFAIK projects don't cost anything so why not create one per service?
How to Code Faster
I wish someone would just clearly tell me if I'm doing bad. Something along the lines of "we think you haven't been performing as well as you used to lately" would be awesome to hear. (Sure it ruins my day, but it might fix a problem before I lose my job.) I'm just not sure if I'm doing well in my job, if I am tell me, if I'm not tell me, just be honest.
Fast food has been a staple of life since antiquity: For centuries, folks went to the baker to get bread, since home kitchen facilities were very limited. Women have been stuck in home kitchens for eons, with male family members not learning even basic skills unless they were employed as cooks or bakers.

I think we've been depending on others for food prep for a very, very long time.
Tax the rich more, tax carbon, and build trains and buy buses. Stop subsidizing single occupancy vehicles which are a huge resource waste even if electric. Why as a society do we want to subsidize a vehicle that is going to spend 95% of its life parked when we can build common transportation that everyone can use?
Honest question. If I was some sort of authority figure with the state’s building inspection. I have a need to travel to Florida to inspect that building collapse because I’m an expert in that field. Does this mean I need to pay out of pocket to do work?

How does it work if I have legit business there?
Glad to see this. Privacy and transparency is important when it comes to voice assistants.

So far I’ve tried to stay away from google home, Alexa etc. I occasionally use Siri, e.g. to bulk delete my alarms, but most of the time I’d rather do it myself.

Voice assistants ensure accessibility and have use cases in emergency situations, but shouldn’t be abused for advertising and data hoarding…
I don't doubt they're incredibly adept at taking a client who wants good press and helping them craft a storyline around ESG and their business.

I'm beyond dubious that they might be driving any actual change based on their own ethical/moral/other positions.
Internet speeds may suck in some parts of the US, but don't get it twisted: companies host their DBs on the cloud to mitigate the risk of their own incompetence/for lean gains from a managed service (RDS has done wonders in this realm).
If Microsoft can't safely code its apis what hope does anyone else have?
I have had unlimited hearts without pro for almost as long as I've used Duolingo. I only had limited hearts for the first few months. And I still have no idea how they decide between users but I suspect locations probably has something to do with it.
> The real problem comes when automated assessment is poorly designed

Using automation for worker surveillance is the least innovative employment of tech. That workplace will never be good. The thing you are correct about is that it isn't due to the technology itself.

> It's also a shame because of the lost opportunity to help workers' performance improve via feedback at a level of detail that the automated systems could provide.

Unrealistic with the one exception that you provide the info only to the specific worker. Will never work that way if that info isn't kept private.

Source: Experience of anyone that ever worked at a company where middle management must defend its existence to higher ups.

It is just a level of controlling that isn't needed. The time sink alone is a larger waste than the performance increases you net from such measures. And it really gamifies you work, so don't use it on anyone smarter than a jellyfish.

This is how to lose money with shorting 101.

You should never base your shorts on solely rational points (long-term rational points, even worse) when going short on bubbly assets.

Things like "Bitcoin is not a viable payment method, it's centralized, possibly manipulated, fueled by the greater fool" is not a valid shorting motive unless you have a triggering event caused by your aforementioned rational point.

You could wait until your child is done lying on the floor, not buy them anything, and perhaps punish them in a civilized way later. Or carry them out of the store if you're in a hurry. Violence is always abuse and should not be tolerated.
Why now? Is online learning not a big opportunity, or not the opportunity for them?
> So the universities have decided to monetise their own great reputations by simply selling it to a bidder?

I think that this is a terrible decision and regret it, but there's not much surprise: this monetisation of their reputation is kind of the business of modern universities.
You should be able to get the Libre 14 day sensors for about $120/per month (2 sensors) without insurance. I've been using it for about a year and it has been a huge game changer for me. I've been on insulin for about 23 years. The Libre doesn't have alerts but being able to tap your phone to your arm to test your glucose makes a big difference in how you test/monitor even without alerts.
Kotlin on Android isn't too bad, but it wouldn't be as necessary if Android's Java compatibility had kept pace with the times. My guess is that they halted that train once the lawsuit from Oracle really picked up steam.
Perhaps, but it's also a very clear attempt to mentally manipulate the employee. It's one of the signs of an abusive relationship. It's the same as saying, "If you fail me, I will ruin you."
Oh man, I will vote for you...
> If my employees worked outside of their home state (nomadically) then I think the states they travelled to technically want a share of that income

There’s a bit more to it than that. An employee doing work in a location is a possible back door way of establishing nexus in that state for the business. Amazon, for example, knew they had a target on their back so forbid employees from even turning computers on in some states.

This is a very interesting test. I wonder if there is a simpler version of this test as it seem to be aimed at high level vividness?

I'm on one spectrum (absolutely no imagination), this test might be aimed at the other end.
The not 'checking on you' is the whole point we prefer about our 'system'. Just call them if you need something and otherwise they let you enjoy your time without permanent nagging or time pressure
Conceptually, though, how would it work, and who becomes the arbiter of what's good and what's bad, and what can be shared and what cannot ?

In no way shape or form am I defending the nasty stuff or saying that it should be allowed, but when defending privacy and liberty, there's a real question about how we deal with hidden lawlessness that uses the same tools people use for legitimate purposes, or, more importantly, how people use these tools in a way that a government views as illegitimate or a thought crime but are in the defense of liberty.

I think there's a notion of policing that comes out of this discussion that is not part of the technology but rather a complement to it. I don't know what shape that would take.
Also most senior folks don't need 125k because they could and should just self fund this amount

So Singapore isn’t too bad off?

It’s also lack of education. I’ve travelled 3rd world countries and spanking is quite normalized, however, it appears that for parents it’s a normal reaction.

So this is a cultural thing and change follows education.

Be increasingly direct, but make sure they know that you'd rather help them improve, or work out what the problem may be, than have them out the door.

It's a tough gig. Plan some kind of approach and run it by a friend or partner to see how it might come across from the outside.
An intriguing theory, but not proven conclusively here.

A single experiment relying on a speculative model implemented by one computer scientist combining data from multiple sources.

I am not in a position to attempt to discredit the research, but it doesn't feel right. Low frequency audio gives much more information when propogating through a dense medium like water than through the air.

> In software this would be the equivalent of just writing components or html for an extended period of time without any variety, which is soulcrushing.

This is essentially what I do, and I enjoy it! I like my work to be a bit boring so that I can save my energy and creativity for things outside of work. I convert designs into functional websites. Somebody recently likened my job to being a construction worker or general contractor. Maybe 2-3 times a year I get something challenging, and I either jump at the chance to learn something new (if it’s something interesting or for a client I like) or I dread it (if the documentation is unclear or the client is exceptionally difficult).
For future reference and other readers, the rings around its leg have an ID written on it that you can use to lookup the pigeon owner online. Likewise, the ring likely had an RFID chip that has the ID, gender (of the pigeon: cock/hen), and owner (or racing club) details embedded within it.

Since it has a ring, it would be happy to be handled, and am certain that any owner would appreciate having their pigeon returned.
> * Breaking courses into useless 2-minute chunks and constant unhelpful quizzes. I really just want to hear the lecturer speak for 20-30 minutes at a time uninterrupted, especially if I'm listening while doing dishes etc.

That's actually one of my favorite things when taking online courses...
Not surprised a cooking class doesn't lend itself to an easy online port! But the lecture content from Harvard's Science and Cooking with El Bulli's Ferran Adria is still as you mention freely available online for all to enjoy. I recently had a free week pass to Masterclass. And though I found the content more entertaining than enlightening (How to be a Boss with Anna Wintour). There is something to be said about educational content that is given a Hollywood production budget. I think it was always inevitable institutes of higher education would seek auxiliary revenue streams from MOOCs. And an influx of capital could result in lecture videos that are Netflix quality, and that enjoy near 100% levels of retention ;)

Hey that's not the worst idea. They might also switch up your responsibilities which could get you out of the doldrums.
That sounds a lot like ActivityPub and the Fediverse.
Woah, woah, woah, surely you mean multi-million dollar campaign contributions were made. Bribery is a dirty word.

If you think there is nothing more to maintaining a database than initial setup and configuration, you are in for a rude awakening. Shit happens.
I'm gonna write what I'm writing every time this comes up.

I live in Munich, a big city in Germany. I know zero people who live in an apartment (like I do) who can reasonably use an EV. All the friends and acquaintances who own an EV have a house with a garage, and thus they have no problems charging (incidentally none of them reside IN the city with their houses, because they're not millionaires). I'd have to go the supermarket parking lot, which is the only charging spot in a 1km radius that I know of. I don't think (although I haven't asked) if the building owner would be up for putting up charging in our parking lot. I somehow doubt it.

I've yet to hear any even remotely sensible solution.
Why should California pay for you to inspect a building in Florida? If the federal government or Florida wants to hire you as a consultant then they can pay.
The other funny thing is that that definition is also from a thread involving MongoDB.
How do you get more clear? When I say "If there's anything I can help with please let me know." that's what I mean. The misinterpretation is because of overthinking, not because of vagueness.

I can reassure the person if they want, but they have to tell me they need reassurance before, or I have to at least detect they're uncomfortable. I'm not gonna go to every employee and say "ok just so you know, I'm not thinking about firing you". That's even weirder!
Show HN: Track your favorite GitHub repos, not just star them
This is one subtle reason I love Boomers. They don’t want to deal with this sort of stuff and businesses have no choice (for now) to cater to them, which means annoyances from tech being unnecessarily inserted into a process are almost always bypassable simply by asking politely.

I’ve yet to be forced to use a QR code menu. I have sometimes had the alternative be looking at a large menu board over having a menu card in my hands, but even many restaurants will happily hand you a menu card on request. That said, given the circumstances I haven’t left a 50 mile radius of my house, so it’s possible it’s different elsewhere.
Hmm I don’t feel that strongly. But the status quo in schools is forcing people to pay money to work on problems that get thrown away. Why does it become abusive when it might be useful for somebody instead?
I agree that the support for east Asian languages is horrendous, but Duolingo is optimised for romance languages, as it should be. The average person just wants to learn a little French as a hobby, and that's okay. I personally love the app and have used it as a stepping stone twice to get to content on YouTube or Twitch where you need an A2-ish level to start participating.

Too many programmer types lose the forest for the trees. They think purely in terms of their definition of "better", not their customer. Flashy UI, marketing, and gamification are what most people want.
I don't have a phone number (verification) and don't bring internet with me all the time. Guess that would already lock me out me out of many restaurants? But same is true for most tourists.

I haven't been out eating since the pandemic, but if this makes uncomplicated WiFi hotspots in restaurants more common I am ok with it I guess.
you still need a way to turn that BTC into cash you can use daily, and that requires an on/off ramp. For any large amount, P2P is out of the question. You will need to go through an exchange which will have to comply with the local laws of the nation state.
I would agree.

I think for parents in a hurry an inconsolable child is challenging in a public setting. As you say carrying them off might be the best option at that point, if you have your hands free —which may not be the case.
It's unreasonable to always design around not trusting any third party.

Prismatic CATL's right? Closer to a pouch than cylindrical 21700's.
I feel like the lines between a data leak and large scale scraping are getting blurred. At least in their impact for the user. Which is a bad thing as it will support the "so what" attitude that many people have toward their data.

It is a fact that all this data is already being crawled by bot nets.

If all data is leaked at once, this is similar to a large scale successful crawling of the site. At least from a user perspective.

So I get what you are saying. It sounds more dramatic than it actually is.
It is still a massive leak. But from a pool that scummy businesses have been thoroughly scooping from already anyway.
Low power design is pretty hard (for me at least) if you need to send radio stuff

You don't always have to smile or emote to project engagement. If you look at him introducing the Surface Laptop 2 at about 1m30s[1] through to 2m -- the passion and energy is unmistakable. Listen in particular to his voice and how he's moving around, and his palms.

Compared to that, and especially to a casual observer, he looked disengaged at the Win11 launch event. But it's probably a consequence of having to perform in front of a camera and not be able to move around as much.

Last weekend a much older couple (late 70s) sat at a table next to me and the QR code menu was a big accessibility fail for them.
After starring too many Github awesome repos, I found that I need to track them, not just star them. So I created trackawesomelist.com to track 500+ most popular awesome repos, updated daily, for free.

For browsing awesome repos on Github, I have two pain points, one is that I can't see the latest added items, and the second is that I can't see the star count of the items, so I created trackawesomelist.com and solved my own pain points, I wonder if you also have these pain points.

Any feedback will be helpful, Thanks!
