It's the false time urgency trick, aka "today only!"

Similar to the false inventory scarcity trick "only 1 left at this price!"

Note to MIT and Harvard: when you start adopting the deceptive sales tricks of used-car salesmen and dubious infomercials, you're probably doing it wrong.

For completeness, I feel compelled to mention GNU Radio. It is a node based visual programming tool. It has its quirks, but you can do fairly complex digital signal processing with it, and it will do I/O from your sound card, as well as RF stuff.
> Anxiety and fear-related disorders were a prevalent condition in our sample; they were also the second highest risk factor for death among the underlying conditions considered in our study. The reasons for this finding are likely multifactorial and may include a reduced ability to prevent infection among patients with anxiety disorders, the immunomodulatory and/or cardiovascular effects of medications used to treat these disorders, or severe COVID-19 illness exacerbating anxiety disorders (19,20). In a subset of patients with pre-COVID encounters in our study, anxiety diagnosed before COVID-19 was not independently associated with death or IMV during COVID-19 hospitalization and, therefore, it is also plausible that anxiety was diagnosed during COVID-19 illness and may be a resulting sequela of COVID-19

No surprises about obesity, etc, but the connection with anxiety really stood out to me. I hope someone can follow up on this.
Intent doesn't require knowing for sure. Intent is just hope associated with an action.

If I hope to hit the bullseye with my dart, but miss, it doesn't change my intention. Neither does a low likelyhood of success.
> I mean the spread and incorporation of more information relating to the underlying asset, making it more closely match their fair value

The Internet isn't so great at spreading information; it is incredible at disinformation and misinformation.

Can't tell.
My point is that we've already been doing this: exploring various storage mechanisms and pivoting to ones that are more viable, to use your terminology. And so far two forms of storage have proven viable: pumped hydroelectricity and electrochemical storage (AKA batteries). Neither are available at the scale required. The market reveals what actually is viable. If these solutions you allude to are viable, then we should see people offering to build this storage at competitive prices

Will some technological breakthrough not only make these alternatives viable, but superior to existing storage by multiple orders of magnitude? Maybe, but a massive leap like that is not something we can depend on happening.
Science is the peak achievement of our civilisation

Maybe this kind of uncritical scientism played a part?

the pandemic is a clear testament to that.

It's not even clear yet that the practice of science did not cause the pandemic. Science is a tool and when people start treating it like an end, such problems will arise.
Yes, increase by 5 percentage points (I guess you meant pp, not 5%) will hurt a litte, and will increase income insignificantly.

But if capital gains is raised to 43% as proposed by Biden, it will be higher than when it was when Amazon and Google were founded.

And if it is raised to 90% for gains above 10M as certain people including here on HN proposed, it will be way way higher than when Amazon and Google was founded.

Please show me where I'm "non-sequiter".
Glad to see I'm not the only person who does that! Great way to catch those who share/sell your email and to set up filtering.
I believe most of the SDR community is about receiving, which is by and large, legal.

The bits I've seen involving SDR transmission has been very clear that it's only to be done if you're a licensed operator.
I'm curious what you mean by how Visual Basic makes you think.
I prefer reading too. The main reason is I get distracted easily but music distracts that part of my brain a little so I can focus. I can't do that with videos. And like you, things stick when I see them written down in a way that they don't when I hear them. Write your name for me and I'll remember it forever - tell me and it's gone in 2 minutes.

Skimming is also much harder with videos than text. I can take a whole page in at once instantly to know what it's about, but I need longer on a video to gather the context. Skipping ahead is all or nothing on videos, whereas with text I can glance over the sections I skim past to see if it's stuff I know but with a few new tips thrown in.

I will say though, YouTube definitely wins for practical hands-on videos for me. Cooking, replacing mirrors/handles on a car, making a table. It's enabled me to do a lot of repairs and I've become much better at cooking. I'm not sure written guides would've brought me as far.
What are some approaches that remedy this?
For example, Programming a security system for my house would be great visually. Programming all of the houses on my block? Not so much. Even though the textual rules would be roughly equivalent.

It is up to the end user to not break the law. But...

> In its earlier Forfeiture Order, the FCC said it had made clear that “[d]evices used in the Amateur Radio Service do not require authorization prior to being imported into the United States, but “if such equipment can operate in amateur and non-amateur frequencies, it must be certified prior to marketing and operation.” The FCC investigation found that 65 models of devices marketed by HobbyKing did not have the required FCC certification.

It's also up to the equipment manufacturer or importer to make sure the equipment they sell in the United States is certified by the FCC.
I am not sure there is any clear legitimate use for deep validation (beyond checking for syntax). If you are providing a valuable service to a customer, wether it's a catch-all or free mail shouldn't matter to you.

Now, if you are buying lists here and there to spam the hell out of it, the bounce rate would flag you very quick and you'd need to find another smtp provider every week. This service would be your life line.
Historical gay people aren't buying websites today. And plenty of registrars already allow private registration. Artists who remain anonymous typically solve the problem through having a trusted representative. E.g., someone like yourself.

So I don't think any of your examples hold up.
> The Register has been unable to determine the specific technical problem that upended the email migration. But in a comment posted to Hacker News, software engineer Bernd Verst suggested that people who really understand how to deal with Notes data are few and far between.

This is a first. Do journalists make it a habit of using random HN comments as an authoritative source?
Years ago I bounced around from one visual tool to another, never mastering any of them but getting deep enough to see the flaws. Hypercard, Authorware, Director, Flash. They were all very approachable, but they were all incredibly flawed in the end. You'd spend most of your time jumping from one limitation to the next, trying to hack your way out of the spaghetti jungle.

I think the better approach is to use conventional languages with UI tools layered on top that at worst generate readable code. (Like I assume is often done in game development.) Source control and diffing are indispensable.

The lure of these tools is that they are approachable, which sometimes is exactly what you need to get started. It's just very rarely what you need to finish. So let these tools be used to get people interested in programming, or to give people an idea of how to accomplish a project. But more importantly let's make sure to continue taking steps to demystify coding. Not because we want everyone to be programmers, but because when people do choose to program we want them to be able to collaborate with the rest of the world, and when they leave we don't want to inherit some visual pasta dish.

I use tiddlyroam(https://tiddlyroam.org/) an open source backlinking wiki, inspired by roam research. The nice thing about it is that you can configure it to save via git commits, and display via a hosted git page. Since gitlab offers free private hosted pages, you can essentially have your own hosted private note taking app for no cost.
To add some context, back when Reporting Wheel was developed the target audience mainly used feature phones. Even today, we run IVR and SMS campaigns instead in lots of countries (instead of using WhatsApp/Vibe/etc or even using a mobile-friendly web app) due to the smartphone penetration still being relatively low.

(I work on Manas.Tech, the partners of InSTEDD that developed the Reporting Wheel and today run nation-scale surveys using Surveda: https://manas.tech/projects/surveda/ )
Finally, a place on the internet where the voice of the oppressed white male establishment can be heard!
At least in Catholicism (my experience):

‘ author G.K. Chesterton once noted that “joy is the gigantic secret of the Christian.” True joy is why martyrs could die with joy. True joy is why St. Paul can command Christians to “rejoice always.” Because true joy is not illusory or conditional. True joy is based on a foundation outside of the individual.’
The point is that your ENTIRE team will be in Europe or Singapore so there will be no time delay between them ... the US team/person will be the odd man out
Node Red "Nodes" perhaps?
FB, Google, and the like don't really do it hard enough though. Hacker news types where very against it, but imagine the US issued digital social security cards that could be used to actually verify a person was who they said they were. It would definitely at least cut back on spam
As a consumer does this mean we can expect electronic goods to get cheaper mid 2022?
People have also made neural networks using Redstone in Minecraft. You can make anything you want in Scratch; the question is whether it is wise to do so.

Do you know of any studies where this has been studied in autistic people?

For me, the gap between physical reaction and identifying an emotion can sometimes be very long, like days or longer.

Because I don't identify my emotions intuitively, I actually have to sit and look at the physical symptoms to figure out what the emotion was. My heart was racing and I felt queasy in my stomach. Did something about him scare me and I should be wary, or am I attracted to him? I can't always tell.

Sometimes it does seem like I could choose. Like as a kid, I thought I had really bad stage fright, until someone said maybe I was actually excited. It was an easy shift. Now I love speaking in front of people, and I do it easily. But were they right and just identifying my emotions better than I was? Or was I actually afraid and, by thinking of those same physical symptoms as excitement, did I become excited?

I'm fascinated to find out this has been studied and people have theories leading toward actual answers!

Kubernetes provides a set of common concepts and tools to deploy services into the cloud. This allows developers to (mostly) ignore the underlying provider (Amazon, Google) and focus on deploying, maintaining, and running services.

The abstractions that Kubernetes provides means that developers can have a common understanding of how services are deployed and run, instead of bespoke deployment processes that are individualized for each service/organization.
Facebook now telling users that someone they know is becoming an extremist
That’s a very good point.

Modern CCGT’s can ramp down to 20% without causing thermal cycling issues. As you point out that’s not zero, but you can very accurately forecast wind over the next 12 hours to only turn on an appropriate number of CCGT’s.

Traditional gas’s turbines cost less and turn on and off in minutes and are therefore ideal in more supplemental role. Some designs can actually operate aim either mode, which seems to cover the downsides of each system though of course at higher costs and slightly lower efficiency.

The market isn’t infinitely adaptable, especially in low population areas, but margins end up surprisingly consistent.

They're not out yet. Have you ever used Kickstarter before??

You're phrasing this like they're GPUs. But those GPUs have general availability, at least on paper. There are no people, other than the Flipper devs, their friends, and perhaps selected reviewers, who have one of these in their hands to play with. It has not hit 1.0 yet.

Lobbyists do not equal Activists
When I wrote radio - I meant generally 'something with a speaker' because irrespective of what 'radio stations' do - playing music on 'something with a speaker' from CD, iTunes, MP3s etc. on your lawn, in your car, on the beach, while at work - is extremely common - and does not constitute a 'public performance'.

You're basically implying that 'everyone is breaking copyright all the time' which is a spectacular claim unsupported by the case law which I presented to you.

You'll have to provide some basic logic and hopefully evidence to support the claim that someone playing music for themselves and even a couple of other people they are engaged with is a 'public performance' because at it stands there's no reason to believe that.

Do you think the New York Times has the right to perform journalism?
Speaking of thoughtful analyses, a symbol is something that stands in for something else, either by convention or to embody something complex and esoteric into something simple and relatable. A town hitting 3 country-wide temperature records in the world's second largest country, then burning down may not be evidence of climate change, but it can certainly be symbolic of climate change. Symbols are the critical foundation of human understanding, cognition and communication, so having a powerful and appropriate symbol of a complex issue could be even better than one more data point.

I had to suffer through a semester of LabVIEW. It seems like it might be okay if you have high enough level blocks of functionality available that you're never hooking many together, but for what I was trying to do it was a massive pain (doable, but tedious and hard to organize and follow)
If you're rich enough to be in the 0.1%, it's not your work that's making you wealthy, it's other people's. More likely, you've inherited that wealth from somebody who's not working anymore.

All the same, if they're still working when they don't have to, they're doing it for something other than money, so I'd bet that they would stay on anyways

No, this is another kind of US enforcement regime. It starts with setting a global minimum tax rate, and ends with the US pursuing and punishing developing nations to its advantage.

Also once the US can manage to get 130 countries to agree to its tax regime in one area, guaranteed it won't stop there.

New feature wish list (since it was asked):

* “Document Vault”. As a small business, it’s difficult to keep up with various vendor contracts I’ve signed or other important legal documents. Would be great if there was a corporate document vault service (for the lack of a better term) where I can store/label/file away important legal documents. Could be as simple as me emailing doc-vault@stripe.com and anything in the email I put becomes metadata. And a search web interface.

* Merchant of Record like service. As mentioned in another comment of mine. Would be great if Stripe Tax was connect to the tax agencies to make my payments on my behalf (including corporate taxes).

* Payroll services. Huge topic but would be great if I could pay my employees, vendors, etc from Stripe

* Expense Reporting. Think Expensify. And if this could be also tied into actually paying off my credit card once an expense is approved - even better.

* CRM. Self explanatory.

* Book Keeping. Think Intuit but better.

Just my 2 cents.
That’s cool and everything, but I don’t know many DS people who still use R. Maybe academics still do?

I asked for a citation of something that explicitly did not mention rewards to inventors / authors to accomplish this goal.

What you cited backs my argument, specifically that owners of intellectual property have exclusive right to their discoveries and writings during the period of protection.

Rewards were an intended outcome of patents from day one, as it was literally included in the U.S. Constitution.

100% are subject to rule by the Communist Party of China, though.

This looks like a job for https://akrabat.com/ignoring-revisions-with-git-blame/

That says to list all the annoying commits in a file, then use a new-ish (Git version 2.23) Git feature to ignore all those commits when doing git blame.

Notice that one of the comments in that article says how to get everyone to use that ignore file, when using GitLens with VSCode.
Yeah I do the same thing with FastMail - its awesome.

Here is a recent story where this came in handy.

I recently had a spam phone call from someone fishing for personal information, using a 'survey' as cover. During the call I learned that they had my email address as 'ledger@xxxx.xxx'. This must have come from the Ledger data breach (https://www.ledger.com/message-ledgers-ceo-data-leak). This made the call even more nefarious than I originally thought... nothing I can do, they have that email address and my personal number. Just made me more aware of what is going on.
