I always wonder how many toxins are we currently unknowingly afflicting upon ourselves. Lead has been linked to a number of neurological and societal issues.

The spike in anxiety and depression in the past decades makes me wonder if there is something going on there or if it is more of a reaction the social environment.

This is because R borrows a lot of syntax from S. When R came out, statisticians were using S, so it was natural to make it like this. If they went another way, you'd get statisticians in mailing lists 20 years ago bemoaning how its so much not like familiar S, rather than regular old programmers 20 years later today who bemoan that R isn't like familiar python like what happens on HN whenever there is an R thread.
She calls attention to instances of fraud that have made it through peer review and publication. Are you saying that is somehow comparable to spreading "misinformation" on social media?

Published research is not perfect; tons of crap gets through peer review. Every scientist knows this. Peer reviewed science may be more reliable than other forms of information, but treating it as settled and unquestionable is foolish and, in fact, unscientific.
Why would that even be a problem?
That's completely fair, as I really can't speak to the government expenditures in other countries, nor how they pass their budgets.
if i change anything in filters.scm then i (load "filters.scm") instead of just sending a snippet to the interpreter to eval. i have this happen when i save the file. same thing, except i never have to worry about sending code or a mis-match between editor and repl. it also forces you to be more organized with code so that you don't override global state. i just code, save, code, save. you can have hooks run things after every save etc ...
This is great! FYI you've got Summer and Winter swapped on the Australia page, and presumably all other Southern Hemisphere countries.

Tuft & Needle | Multiple Engineering Roles | Remote (US) | https://www.tuftandneedle.com/

In 2012, Tuft & Needle disrupted the mattress industry by offering a customer-focused, digitally-native alternative to traditional mattress chains. Since then, more and more similar brands have followed in our wake presenting new challenges and a different type of customer confusion. With people at the heart of everything we do, we know it’s now time for us to define our next chapter. Rest should be a universal right and with that as our North Star, we are setting out to radically reshape how the world thinks about sleep and the impact it can have in our lives. But our success in making great products and exceptional experiences depends on our ability to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. We welcome applicants from underrepresented backgrounds and all walks of life because we know a diverse environment is essential to our success in making better sleep accessible to all.

Roles Available:

- Senior Rails Software Engineer, Purchase Experience
- React Software Engineer, Product Discovery
- Senior Rails Software Engineer, Product Discovery

Tech:

At T&N you will be working in an environment consisting primarily of React, GraphQL, Ruby, Rails, and Postgres, and deployed to Heroku and Vercel. We use Buildkite for continuous integration and believe strongly in continuous deployment.

You can contact me about the openings at jayson.virissimo@tuftandneedle.com. I'm the hiring manager for our purchase experience team, but if you are interested in the others I'll get you in contact with the right person.
Super late reply, but the low mileage cars I mentioned were a 2011 Ford Ranger and ~2008 Ford Fusion. As far as my hypothetical ideal fleet, probably full of vehicles from Honda and Toyota. They have a strong reputation of lasting forever with just the wear and tear items.

I'm personally driving a 2010 Civic which just crossed 100k miles, and a 2009 CR-V with 140k miles. The Civic will likely be sold in the next few years pursuing an upgrade to safety while it would still have a ton of life left in it. It'll probably go to some high school kid who is learning to drive, and its end of life will more likely be due to a crash.

I just put money into the Civic for wheel bearings (likely needed because it sat most of 2020), transmission fluid, and brake fluid, and the CR-V checked out fine at its oil change. In ~75k miles, we have only done front suspension, tires, wheel alignments, oil changes, and a set of brakes on the CR-V. It spent a couple years in a town with terrible roads, which I point to as the primary reason for the suspension breaking.
It would be rational to use tariffs as a cross border carbon tax.
Accord | Founding engineer | Auckland, New Zealand | Onsite
https://accord.so/

Accord is a web app that helps startups build legal documents lightning-fast from free templates.

Accord handles then entire contract building process for users from beginning to end without them having to leave their browser tab. First, it helps startups generate contracts by asking a series of simple questions. Second, it allows users to edit their contracts through a rich-text editor. Third, it helps users sign their contracts and keep them stored and organized in their account dashboard. Eventually, I want users to be able to collaborate and negotiate their legal documents on Accord, as well as upload custom templates.

I want the process of building legal documents to be as fun and unintimidating as possible. This shouldn't be an arcane, "dark artsy" process. I think we can help companies become less reliant on legal service providers generally, which is an $800B+ industry.

I was a former lawyer at a leading New Zealand law firm. The product has launched and is making revenue.

I also recently raised a pre-seed round from Daniel Gross (investor in Uber, GitHub, SpaceX, CoinBase), and I'm recruiting a small team of engineers to take the product out of Beta and reach product/market fit. You can read the announcement here: https://accord.so/blog/seed

Accord is built on React, Next.js, Firebase and Tailwind CSS. Please send me an email at minkyu@accord.so if you'd like to know more!

I toured the Lehi “fab” in high school in 2002 or 2003. It’s still the largest emptiest building I have ever been in. I think something like 5% or less of the square footage was used. Supposedly it used more concrete than I-15.

Yup.

This is how vote banks work. Seed the idea of an external enemy to a group of loosely cohesive group and suddenly they become like a huge entity difficult to be reasoned with.

Sure, I linked it in. I posted the first response from my phone, took me a bit to find everything on my computer...

The PDP-11 has an MMU and supports what's essentially segmented memory (https://gunkies.org/wiki/PDP-11_Memory_Management), with different address spaces for a kernel and for a userspace. It also supports a 22-bit "real" address space, hence when 2BSD and other "older" PDP-11 unixes can use up to 4MB of real memory (and 2.10BSD's kernel actually used more memory than could fit in a 16 bit address space at once -- needing to be manually chunked and loaded in/out of memory. In the release notes (http://www.krsaborio.net/bsd/research/1987/0715.htm) the authors said "Yes, [this is the last release] at least by us; quite frankly, we'd rather sacrifice our chance at heaven than look at a 16-bit machine again.", so it's about as nightmarish as it sounds.

It doesn't support paging, though, so no real virtual memory. I'm not really sure how thorough the process isolation was -- I know in the early releases, there was basically none, and a bad user process would crash the whole machine. I believe by later models (the MMU did change over time) it was "good enough" to keep the userland from crashing the kernel, at least.

Wasn't until 3BSD from Berkeley that proper virtual memory was added -- hence why the kernel's name was changed from /unix to /vmunix. Which is where the "vm" in "vmlinux" comes from, in case anyone's curious.

A 10 year chain of transactions would require an enormous amount of time to re-process. Effectively billions of transactions would arrive at once on both sides of the dropped firewall.

Transactions that were "known good" for the last 5 years might not be valid, or at least could take years to validate.
We shouldn't normalize this stuff.
She doesn't say it can't be automated; in fact she basically says the opposite, only that it hasn't been automated yet:

Q: Someone should develop software to find these things. Software is going to be much better than the human eye.

A: I agree, and several groups are working hard on that. I have shared a dataset of 400 papers with image problems and 800 matched controls in which I did not find any problems with several teams that are developing such software. I have not heard back from any of them, so I assume this is much harder than most people assume. But this is only a matter of time.
I can't even imagine wanting to handle managing accounts and credentials for that many users at an enterprise! At that point SSO integration is well worth the money. How did you handle removing access when a user was no longer employed at the company?
There is only one incident, not two.
I’m always wary of consumer services that specifically target secrecy and encryption. How many of those “lockbox” photo apps are just syphons into the developer’s server?

“We’ll encrypt the file, trust us.”

This message can only come from an already-trusted party. Mozilla had an identical service to this except it was for files (Firefox Send) and that one I could trust.
I agree with all you said. But there are many comments on HN that are "all marketing is spam in general".
My physics professors always just said "unit" or "unity". Never heard of "uno" before now.
This is already done! But then the spammers would just slow their spam bots down under or near the rate limit, and it would get very annoying seeing random max length messages appear over and over again every few seconds. You could make the rate limit even more restrictive, but then you ruin the experience for normal users. It's a tough problem

Email: rohan@spatialmedia.ca - happy to answer questions!
Interesting tool, but there are some really concerning dark antipatterns here that I really despise:

Is the address provided by a known disposable email address provider?
Is the email address bound to a known free email provider?
Does email address under test hide a honeypot?

What are the legit use-cases for this? To be sure you can force spam on your users and identify them as ad-targets?

If he holds the BTC, and waits until after his jail sentence to pay the restitution, and Bitcoin goes up 10x while he's in jail, I guess he pockets all the profit?
You might have learned more in college than you suspect ... its hard to compare knowledge states before and after
Is that a counter anecdote or a supporting anecdote?
This comment has a lot of merit. The expected value from day-trading or short-term investing by retail investors is likely negative. (I learned this during undergrad doing day trading for a few months and nearly losing my tuition. stupid).

The reality is unless you have an algo trading system or are a long-term investor you are going to lose on day trading in the long run. RH has done a great job of making trading easier for the masses; I'm not sure the net outcome is a good one.
> Robinhood is being investigated for it. Why not blame everyone that's guilty?

Because being investigated means you're guilty? I guess a fair and impartial trial is just red tape.

We rely on cash payments for other things to, like info about criminals and such.

Why should we expect people to do hard things unless they are in their best interest? Regardless of morality, that's just how people are.

This isn't about finance being rotten, it's about that to get people to do what you want, you have to reward them. This is what bonuses are about, what giving treats to dogs for good behavior is about, etc.
lol. the whole easily reversible (or two way door vs one way door) sounds soooo good in theory. You know what? Everything is reversible. The question is not how reversible it is. The question is how much effort does it take.

also, people use "bias for action" as an excuse to basically do the first thing they can think off. When you push back they will want you to "disagree and commit" and after that when something, anything is delivered the same ppl are gonna claim they were right. In fact they are "right a lot"

Past comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10151566
It boils down to risk

For me, I had at least the two following choices:

1) Following the straight edge - getting an education, taking a job I enjoy, and work/save for 25 years. I could retire before 60. Low risk, medium reward.
2) Following my dream. Going all in on my passions, and trying to capitalize on them. Maybe if lucky, sell some startup and be able to retire before 40.

The problem, though, is that for each year I'd try and fail at option 2), option 1) also becomes less viable. One year for failure at 2) equals one year worth of savings and returns on investment from option 1).

FWIW, I'm from a wealthy Nordic country (Norway) - and it's not that entrepreneurship is looked down upon here, it's just that the safe option is much more probable, and the pay-off is pretty good.
I think it is practically impossible to go off the radar nowadays, there is too much information about you already out there, especially with the big guys.

I think the next best thing to do would be secure whatever you can and not give away anymore. Don't download unnecessary apps, give out information that is not required, and use your 2FA wisely. We end up giving out details these big guys never asked for without realising. Be aware of what you share.

You can skim the S-1 and see why that is problematic.

In 2020, 34% of their revenue came from Citadel. 75% of their entire revenue stream comes from forwarding their clients' orders to one of FOUR market makers like Citadel. This practice in and of itself is contentious, and they readily admit this in their risk factors section of the filing.

They also readily acknowledge the absolute thrashing they would receive financially if even one of the four market makers decide to not do business with them.

Of these four, Citadel is the largest.
It's well known that the amyloid hypothesis has failed to find any solid support as a cause (rather than an effect or co-occurrence) of other Alzheimer's processes. That's why the recent Biogen drug is so controversial.
I'm sorry but this just does not work. If you are judged by the LPs this will go from "are you embodying these LPs to which one is your weakness". A good boss will coach you on your weaknesses. A bad boss will use this as an excuse to PIP you.

SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | UTC+0 to UTC+8 | REMOTE

SimplePay is a profitable, developer-owned online payroll software company, with solid annual growth. Our software lets 20,000 small business owners (and their accountants) run their South African, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses. We're also developing new product lines.

Our development team was already mostly remote pre-pandemic. We have a very supportive culture, and are working hard to ensure remote work is happy work.

To find out more about us, check our developer blog (https://tech.simplepay.cloud) or about page (https://www.simplepay.co.za/about)

Do you believe SPAs are overkill for most apps, but wouldn't mind digging into Vue.js for pages that will benefit from the increased interactivity? Do you laugh when people give up the power of SQL DBs in favour of data stores that don't offer any benefits for their use case? If so, you may fit in well with our mindset.

Experience: Ruby on Rails. If you've used other web frameworks and are keen to get into Rails we'd definitely consider you! Just be sure to mention that in your application. The work is mostly on the back-end, but some front-end skills are welcome - we're doing more and more interactive things with Vue.js. Bonus points if you know a bit of Flutter, we could use some extra hands on our mobile app but can't yet justify having a second developer working on it full-time.

Location: UTC+0 to UTC+8

Please apply at https://teamsimplepay.applytojob.com/apply/k3nsnahdKv/Experi... and attach your resume / CV in PDF format. In the "Cover Letter" section of the application, please include 1) the time zone in which you reside, and 2) a link to a PR created or an issue logged for an open source project (no matter how small or long ago) as the first two lines.
