I was hired by the lead software manager Curtis Delicata to work on the project FamilyTree365 (https://github.com/familytree365). At the end of the work period, I notice that some freelancers was asking me to stop working on this project, that Curtis was a scammer, that he doesn't respect his commitments.
While telling me this, they were also exposing him on the FamilyTree365 github (https://github.com/familytree365) and Curtis deleting the messages.
What I do in my Debian machines is flip horizontally each display on xfce startup, and then flip the trackball x-axis.

Everything comes out nicely right to left.
It is human nature to be greedy, because this is how we evolved.

What causes problems is inequality, not money per se.
I know. But the likelyhoood of a targeted attack on my code is much lower.
Have you crashed one?
"On the other hand people who have had bad trips are less likely to talk about it."

Depends, it can also go the other way around.

I remember from my teenage years, that mostly the horror trips from some persons, with the scary anecdotes of people who stayed on the trip and never came of it and stayed in some asylum, were openly shared.

One of the reasons, I was very cautious and never did a mushroom trip at that time and especially not in a potential bad environments like parties, focused on drinking.
Yes obviously, I'm not an idiot. The point is that people round up anything above 90 as being 100, when actually low 90s is pretty bad.

Arguably you did this too: 2% vs 7% don't round down to the same thing: one is 3.5 times higher.
Because nearly 8 billion people live all over the planet in various environments, and make use of technology to adapt.
> The very excellent effect of Ma's downfall is that it will remind wealthy people in the West that democracy has its good points.

Yes, like protecting rich criminals.

Some people never have enough. It is good that sometimes they are shown that limits exist.
Maybe they're worried about bit flips before the data gets to emmc?

They probably aren't doing it, but you could always interleave the data across the emmc blocks. A lost emmc block would therefore corrupt single-digit bytes across many ECC'ed blocks, rather than many bytes within a couple ECC'd blocks. 32 bytes of Reed Solomon should be able to correct up to 16 bytes of corruption. CDs do the same trick to be robust to scratches.
> But what can you actually do with blockchains, outside of cryptocurrencies?

I have not explored this idea fully, but I think blockchain technology would be a good candidate for something like a community members ledger. Ie, a public list of people that belong to a group.

Based on this ledger then you can derive new ones for individual issues that the members can cast votes on.

This would form the basis for a type of electronic voting.
I didn't demand your personal information I wrote down the questions that every doctor asks a patient. Those questions are crucial in understanding any kind of disease.
Since Android 8, Linux is a kind of pseudo-microkernel, as all drivers are required to be Treble based, and traditional Linux drivers are considered legacy on the platform.

https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/hal-types

The Switch (yes the games console) uses a microkernel.

QNX an OS for human critical scenarios is a microkernel.

Finally, when arguing Linux vs Minix/Hurd, think of the irony of running Linux on top of a cloud hypervisor, with an endless load of Kubernetes or Docker loads.
Here in Belgium, electricity metering is switching from merely "kWh/year" to peak power draw (kW). Running a heater at 24kW will become very expensive.
Sure, and then the governments are forced to tell the intelligence agencies they can no longer afford all the we-told-you-so consequential successful hacks that happened because of the back doors they demanded.

And the competent criminals will still be able to roll their own encrypted communications from existing open source libraries.

I’m working on making it easier for amateur endurance athletes to take it to the next level. I’m at MVP stage but not married to the idea yet.

Wasn't there a major regression in the quality of craftsmanship, the size of urban settlements and the volume of commercial trade, after the Roman Empire collapsed?

On the other hand, from what I understand, there is some evidence that there was a significant pick up in the rate of technological innovation after the fall of Rome. Not sure how that stacks up against the technologies lost in the early Middle Ages.
Not being a historian myself I can’t speak to the academic pedigree, but as an interested layman I will say that “How the Irish Saved Civilization” by Cahill makes this stuff come alive: at worst it’s a good yarn and at best there might be some real history in there.

I will point out that it’s every bit as much about late classical Rome as it is about Ireland, maybe more.

I’d benefit from the perspective of legitimate scholars in this area.
Bone and joint health. Legs have evolved for impact and weight-bearing, they need it to remain healthy. The optimum dose is unique to the individual. Too little is easier to achieve than too much, for most people.

Of course it was. They want minors to buy the stuff.

The facial recognition was just a distraction to evade law enforcement.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same with these games. In fact, I would be surprised if a company went to great lengths to reduce their potential consumer base.
In the Corona case education was still the schools' responsibility, they (and the parents really) just were suddenly thrust into it with little prep or time to rearrange things.

This is very different to homeschooling.

Particularly with parents making a conscious decision to homeschool and properly planning how they're going to find the time.
Why would the fitbit make her stop walking and how do you know she did 10-20k steps before the fitbit... And I have more questions after you answer this one :)

The steps are a proxy metric for activity, you can correlate it with how you feel or with the amount of backpain you experience in the evening. I don't see how I'm loosing looking at this metric.

Great! But to be clear, you are talking about diagnosed depression, right?
"People with pre-existing health and psychiatric conditions, and young people should be doubly careful. "

And since we are talking about "depressed" people, that should qualify as a preexisting psychiatric condition.

The problem is, in most places there are no professional therapists avaiable who can (legally) work with mushrooms. And really, long term depressed persons, often have no one around, they can prepare a trip with.

Presumably poorly rated movies are a lot cheaper to license; and when you're licensing 2/10 rated movies, user satisfaction is a lot higher if you don't show the ratings.

Love this advice. I think it reduces the complexity of a difficult problem to a well-known process.

It is also very much in line with Mark Suster's advice on finding a co-founder: Hire him/her.

The author is still underselling the significance of the progress made during the first years IMO. The simple idea that is still behind most practical recommender systems (using gradient descent to do SVD to complete the rating matrix) was first described in 2006 by Simon Funk [1]. Koren, who ended up taking home a big part of the prize, recently wrote another paper about how that basic idea still outperforms most “AI” (deep neural) recommenders today [2].

Could not disagree more. Yeah, yeah, stop and smell the roses and all that, I get it. But there are a tonne of people, my mother included, who are spurred on greatly by the need to fill out the rings on their Apple watch. It's the thing that gets them out of the door, the metric. We bought the watch for her hopeful she would actually use it, and not leave it buried somewhere in a drawer, and it's worked an absolute treat. She's walked more, and more strenuously, since she got the watch. She loves sharing the graphs of her hikes/walks, and the km covered.

Even for me, as much as I hate giving away my medical data, I love compiling GPX files of hikes I've been on, or keeping streaks of commuting by bike everyday.

Metrics are great, and I don't think it's as simple as a dichotomy between being all about number crunching, vs all about feeling the grass under your feet. One can do both.
Taspo and the “I am truthfully and honestly over 20” button at convenience stores aren’t meant to stop anyone. They only exist so the government and industry can claim they are cracking down on underage smoking and drinking, not to actually stop underage people from smoking and drinking, because how boring would that be?
What do you mean, Nature isn't kind to humans? Because we aren't immortal?

Humanity has spent much more of its time on earth living with a very low technology level than that we enjoy today. If Nature wasn't kind, how did we make it for those hundreds of thousands of years?

It is really only since the industrial revolution that we have become crazy-reliant on tech. Tolkien's works were very much about the 'war' between the pre- and post- industrial revolution worlds. Hint: the bad guys are the industrialists (Morgoth being one example).

Yeah it's a bit of a gap in the most popular wearables, I feel. Many can do it, but the pedometer function is typically automatic or "always on" while cycling tracking requires some fiddling. Some Garmin wearables (and others I'm sure) can do "smart" activity recognition, automatically determining if you're walking, cycling, lifting weights, etc. with variable accuracy.
RTL language users expect that reading will be done in RTL, not that everything will be done RTL. Scissors are the way they are because most people have stronger right hands than left hands, and that applies regardless of native or preferred language. The cursor keys are likely on the right for the same reason.

Website navigation is presumably derived from reading - if you generally read RTL, then your eyes will start at the top right of the screen/page and scan to the left. Where it gets interesting is on small touch screens like phones. Perhaps we ought to optimize that for single-hand use and put the hamburger menu icon on the right side to make it easier to reach with your thumb when in your right hand, regardless of language orientation.

In any case, my experience is that in a lot of RTL software[0] navigation is flipped, and the "previous/next page" arrows are reversed as well. But in meatspace this is less practical so at least in Israel, the play/forward/rewind buttons on old tape recorders (for example) will be with a LTR orientation. I suspect that if Israel was manufacturing their own music players a few decades ago things might look different today.

Now imagine you work at Spotify and you need to decide how to display the play/skip/previous controls in RTL. Do you mimic normal RTL forward/back and reverse the controls or go for skeumorphism and use the same controls your users already know?

[0] Locally made software such as yad2.co.il is more likely to do this because it's RTL-first. Google doesn't flip their pagination, possibly because they use the 'o's in their logo to link to to page numbers and they don't translate or reverse their logo. Bing does reverse the pagination. DDG sidesteps the problem by having a "Load more" button.
I think they exist mostly to make busybody moral guardians STFU. They don’t actually buy smokes at vending machines or alcohol at 7-11 so have no idea if the measure work or not.
Y'all are assuming these variants follow the same statistics. It's too soon to know and they don't have to. Indeed, the latest reports are that most hospitalizations are coming from young people, which I'm hoping is due to lack of vaccination and not some new characteristic of these variant (s).

Sorry if this sounds like fear-mongering, it's just caution.

Adopting a Reflective Practice
> There are one billion smartphones in China today. Everyone knows what Jack Ma looks like. Given his notoriety, and the intense vested interest of the financial world in his status and well-being, if he is at liberty today, how could it be that there are no pictures of him in circulation?

This point would be better if it could be demonstrated by showing that there were a lot of ordinary people taking pictures of Ma in public all the way through October 2020 and then that suddenly stopped.

So I decided to check for myself and searched for 马云 偶遇 on DDG. First result was this article about a woman's selfie with him going viral, published on June 2, 2021: https://new.qq.com/omn/20210602/20210602A02NNM00.html

If he'd known about this, there are many ways the author could've attacked its credibility (e.g. maybe it's a deepfake or an old picture) but given that he doesn't mention it, I conclude that he didn't do enough research and his list of sightings is incomplete.

EDIT: Yep, it's an old picture, also appears in this Zhihu post from two years ago: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/57836061

EDIT 2: Also a few semi-recent results on Weibo: https://m.weibo.cn/search?containerid=100103type%3D1%26q%3D%... I'm too lazy to check how many of them are reposts of old pictures.

There's no refrigerant here. Our heat pump uses plain water mixed with an anti-freezing agent. Just like the cooler in a car does. And there are control displays where you control all operating parameters.

As for the "pump heat from here to there" ... while we are cooling we are warming the ground below. And as at our place, the ground's consistency keeps the warmth rather local, we reuse it later when we warm our water during the night.

We do live in a densely populated area and about every fifth hoiuse built here during the last 10 years uses a ground-based heat pump. As for electricity use: each house has two hours of "blockage" where the pump is not allowed to run, so that the power lines aren't stressed. That's no problem at all, because all houses are highly insulated and thus buffer rather good.
To prove survivor-ship bias, you would have to show that somehow either bad or good experiences never gain visibility, which to me doesn't seem to be the case at all.

With natural medicine there's always people who point out the downsides, but with products made by the pharmacological industry, there's always those who defend SSRIs.

Is it even possible to gather some actual data on this issue without obvious bias either way?

The medical industry seems to have obvious motive to downplay any natural remedy as it doesn't make them money, and actively competes with their own products. On the other hand what motive would the average person have to unreasonably hype up things like the healing power of shrooms?
But this has little to do with back pain for example or other muscle aches or deterioration of tendons. You are talking about aerobic condition, you are ignoring that the movement apparatus of us human is a "use it or loose it" type of apparatus.

If walking takes a toll on your body you should consider adding strength exercises (push-ups until they become easy, then bench press, bodyweight squats until they become easy then weighted squats, deadlifts etc.).

I also experienced hip pain and knee pain from walking and I no longer have any pain (after getting stronger) even when walking 30km per day during my active vacations.

Maybe you didn't think to read the HN guidelines. [0]

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Why didn't you just use: 'My June Book Recommendations' Rather than such a click-bait title to try to cause wanton outrage.

Regardless, the recommendation algorithm isn't so smart to know which books you read and gave me more garbage recommendations.

Here's a tip, put the book titles in tags. Just do that and its so easy to game this so-called 'recommendation algorithm'.

GPLv2 requires the practical ability to modify GPL software on the device, whether or not signing keys are mentioned explicitly is irrelevant. I suggest you re-read the Conservancy blog post I linked above and scan through the GPLv3 in cars presentation.
In the US, legal adults between the ages of 18 and 21 can decide to join the Army, travel to exotic lands and die there. The same adults are not trusted to make the decision of buying and drinking beer.

They're trusted to join the Army which includes fairly strict supervision from the chain of command. This is more akin to drinking with your parents than going off by yourself.
A team I worked in would pair program on like 80% of tasks. Sometimes it was laborious (and exhausting) but it meant people could disappear and there would be no knowledge gaps.
