It doesn't even need to be a special syringe. I've been able to unblock my ears with warm water and a bulb syringe. It probably takes more effort though since the bulb only holds so much water and has to constantly be refilled.

Outside of a small vocal group of people mostly concentrated on HN and prone to give crappy hot takes, practically everyone in the world "accepts Electrons".
We should call sports a religion and tax them the same. We could then remove sports from schools as a separation of church and state. We could also use this as an opportunity to correct our tax code.
This article is based on "an internet user" who "posted this brief description of his simple, stress-free life".

That's a pretty low bar for journalism.

But wait, "The post went viral."

What does "viral" mean in a nation of 1.3 billion people?

The article doesn't say. All it offers by way of quantitative data is:

"More than 60% of over 240,000 respondents to a poll on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform, said tangping was their idea of the good life."

The Supreme Court ruled in the 1920s that the sterilization of inmates was constitutional. The US forcibly sterilized minorities and people of color as recently as the 1970s.

While I would still prefer to live in the US, you would find by talking to Chinese citizens that they feel exactly the same way about their country. The same applies to Russians and other large nations. We are all being fed propaganda, it doesn’t matter what country you live in.
Nope, previous iPhones also supported RAW photos (my iPhone Xs does).
What I inferred from the comment is that there are some users who attend most meetings and some who have to organize most of them. It doesn't have to be a status symbol for employees. Whoever organizes the meetings, takes notes, exports them to relevant tools would need that. I'm thinking of a product manager taking a meeting with the designers developers etc.

Counterpoint I work on a big boring business. I have two projects I am working on right now. One is a project that is interesting and I think will benefit the project.

The other is one that I find poorly considered and a waste of money and effort. I try to do both to the best of my ability, but for the second project it has been made clear to me that my opinion is not really appreciated and that my technical opinion is not valued this has hence killed my initiative and desire to go above and beyond or my desire to advocate for changes for the betterment of the project. Not because I am lazy or resentful I've just learned that attempting to do so on this project is a waste of time and effort and my energy would be better spent elsewhere.
Every single one of these propublica articles has been preying on people's lack of financial knowledge to push a political agenda.
This is almost always the case when you are reading about “the rich evading taxes” — the “loopholes” involves are typically just standard tax code tools that were put there for the reason (to incentivize certain behaviors), and the “evaders” typically just use them in exactly the way they were meant by legislators to be used.
I agree. Things are becoming more declarative over time. And it progresses over decades, as it takes that long to work out the right things to be able to declare.
Not only that. If you renounce citizenship you are exit taxed on all your assets worth over 2 mil as a disincentive to high net worth individuals from jumping ship. Most aggressive tax regime in the world in many respects.
its almost like that is WHY the US taxes overseas citizens...they don't want freeloaders relying on the benefits of their citizenship without understanding how it is paid for.
Neither are perfect, so both are the same? Sorry, but that's just not the reality. For starters, one can say "F Trump" or "F Biden" without getting disappeared. There -are- systems to hold the powers-at-be accountable. The way issues are handled in these countries are completely different.

I'm tired of this whatboutism used to excuse completely appalling behavior with -zero- checks and balances at all. Country A doing bad thing doesn't excuse Country B from doing a much worse thing.

.. because certain economic constructs are not available unless-until a mass of capital is involved. The whole point is that very significant changes in taxation are only available at the far ends of capital accumulation.

Its not a problem that winners get more winnings, until the whole system tips into massive acceleration for say, less than one percent of the educated, voting population of a political economy. In the case of accelerating returns on investment and lowering tax liability, there might be no upper bound on how much money flows in one direction.
I think that's a perfectly fair opinion, but the HN-gestalt entity seems to be all for free-market solutions when it comes to things like Uber and DoorDash where they can make a lot of money being a "disruptive" "software engineer" at the expense of other people, while simultaneously bemoaning any application of free market on their social networks and phone operating systems.

Personally, I don't really believe "free markets" are inherently good and would prefer something like a "fair market" that helps ensure competition doesn't get easily shut out by big players and generally limits their ability to make people's lives worse for the sake of profit.
Right, and often it takes journalists describing the legal, unethical, behavior before we decide to make it illegal.

If we aren't supposed to write negatively about anything someone does as long as it is legal, how would we ever come around to deciding to making something illegal?

Carbon nanotubes while wonderous are not only expensive to manufacture but also seem to have issues with being asbestos-like despite their wonderous properties. I think automobiles may be a wrong application there although not as bad as break pads of the stuff.
I missed the first part, but will check it out. I'm on sick leave and can't do anything anyway.

My main question so far is: Can you make use of the speed of Array-based languages, but save computation time, by compiling it into a solution-graph-assembly? Sorry, if my wording is to amateurish.

EDIT:
What's the difference between symbolic computation, graph computation and array-based symbolic computation? I mean they have different internal representations due to semantics, but look alike mostly.

Would it be possible to "generate" an "optimal" internal structure for an array-based symbolic language like APL, based on the input?
The title is referring to a specific heatwave that just occured, not the possibility of any heatwave at all ever happening in North America.

Surely far from being as elaborate as the linked tool, but I use the following git command a few dozen times daily:

git diff --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex='\w+'

I added two aliases to my .gitconfig, one for diff and one for show:

[alias]
word-show = show --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex='\\w+'
word-diff = diff --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex='\\w+'

Those small things improved development and reviewing a lot for me!

If stuff moved around or got it's indentation changed I either add `--color-moved` and/or `-w` (ignore whitespace changes) flags to filter out extra noise.

Sometimes I need to use another regex though, e.g. a simple dot `.` for match all with no greedy +
Thank you very much for this detailed feedback :)
- Your analysis of Streams is very on point -> as of now, users struggle to understand what it does. in the next few days, we're gonna automatically create streams for your recurring meetings and you'll see them in a dedicated space. It should be easier with the adoption moving forward. But basically, streams are like tags for emails.
- The product as it is indeed better to take notes rather than keep and search them. We're gonna rework the search so that you can easily find what you're looking for in past meetings on Hera. But really the goal for us is that you can take actions based on your notes, be it on Hera or elsewhere afterwards.

I'd feel so much more motivation for checking out alternative diff tools if there was a better story for integrating them with the review tools in Github, GitLab, etc. I know there's nothing anyone can do about that— it's something the Git hosts themselves have to enable, or I have to see enough benefit in it to go to an dedicated review tool to make the bother of that worthwhile.

I believe Gerrit has a pluggable diff— is there anything more broadly on improving this story?
You are going to run into that issue with literally any OS or distro you choose. If you don’t want to spend 30 seconds typing a search for i210 (or insert chipset) then you should buy one of the appliances that opnsense sells. Just expect to pay a premium to be lazy.

My anecdote: I bought Dell Latitude and there are instructions how to disassemble the entire laptop on the Dell website. I did not see circuit schematics, though I'm not skilled enough to make any use of it, but it's something at least. I easily upgraded RAM and installed SSD. That was one of the factors of choosing this specific laptop for me, I wonder how many people consider it. I had terrible experience with Apple Macbook when I realized that disassembling it is extremely hard with glued battery, extremely tiny and fragile connectors, and so on. I tried to repair charger and replace a cable which ended up poorly, because charger case was glued and I broken it. I routinely perform simple repairs on a more repair-friendly devices, it's not like I'm completely clueless. So I decided not to buy that kind of computer ever again, despite the fact that I prefer macOS to Windows or Linux.

'America's gene giant harvests data from millions of women worldwide' would be an interesting topic for discussion. As it is we know, as the Hong Kong protesters know, that the CCP runs every aspect of China's activities. So nothing of critical significance happens in China without the knowledge and say-so of the CCP. Clearly that's not analogous to the the situation in the US. Why do they want this data? What are they going to do with it? Maybe they just love collecting data. Is this exercise anymore significant than the similar operations carried out by other countries? And why?
I do because I've worked with the code. It's not 100% beter or something like that, but the Phalcon framework does impose quality requirements to work with it effectively. It also has immutable facilities loaded as an extension (for speed benefit but also means you can't actually mess with the framework at runtime).

While I haven't really done any hardcode PHP work after PHP5 came out, there are plenty of ways to do it wrong, and a few ways to do it right. One thing is separation of concerns and encapsulation to the point where a fault in PHP can only mess up the PHP part and not the external system PHP calls into to ask for configuration changes.

Currently, a lot of the old pfSense code has been removed and replaced with code in the MVC framework, but it's a lot of work, and the team behind open-source OPNSense isn't huge. It will take time to cover it all.

I'm reading this and thinking, wait are they just talking about depreciation? That's not something special about sports teams, it's also very common in real estate.

Calling it a "financial magic trick" only makes the obfuscation worse.

Show HN: Provably Authentic Search Engine Results Comparisons
Hey HN,

SearchShare is a PoC for sharing verified search engine results between users.

It enables a user to submit a copy of the search result they've received from a search engine, in a manner which does not enable the user to tamper or manipulate the results received. In doing so, it enables at trustless relationship between users.

Once search results have been submitted, users visit the website to compare results between users, between queries & between search engines.

The use case builds upon the concepts of notarisation which enables the creation of signed copies of web pages, which are provably authentic & independently verifiable (using TLS Notary). Signed pages can not be modified, manipulated or tampered with by the user who created them, or any parties who received them. The signed page is authenticate in that it is represents the web page (web resource, or dom) as requested by the user, and delivered by the server.

My first Show HN, appreciate any feedback and keen to see some discussion.

It wouldn't be any entity minting these new DAI, it would be the Maker smart contract giving out new DAI loans for collateral (ETH, WBTC, WhateverTokens).

If DAI is trading at $2, and I believe it will hit the peg again in the future, I'm very highly incentivized to borrow it and sell it for $2, pulling the price down! I then pay back my loan with DAI I buy for $1.
I'm assuming you have zero complaints or commentary about any piece of us politics or policy right? After all if you did you should move to Guatemala right?

Medo.AI | Android Dev | Full Time | Edmonton, Canada or REMOTE | https://www.medo.ai

Medo is bringing the benefits of ultrasound scanning to communities and point of care locations that have previously not had access to this safe, cheap imaging technology. We hope to enable early diagnosis of many conditions that can be debilitating or deadly if detected too late.

We are looking for an experienced Android developer to lead a greenfield project to bring what we've learned into a new, streamlined mobile application. We're looking for somebody with experience shipping Kotlin apps, who has strong opinions about the Right Way to build a modern Android app, and who has held primary responsibility for designing and building products in the past.

Medo is pre-revenue but well funded, with FDA approval for two products and more on the way. We'd prefer a local (Edmonton Canada) candidate but will accommodate remote work for the right person. You can view our job ad at https://medoai.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=17 or email me directly at rod@medo.ai. Thanks!
IMO, this is why it is important to make billing more common. It doesn't make sense to keep them from the condo users if they could generate revenue from them.

It's getting worse now.

Disposable vapes are gaining in popularity, and some of those disposable vapes even come with a USB charger (even though they're not designed to be refilled without fluid).

This means every time someone is done with the vape, they throw away much larger piece of plastic (compared to Juul pod).

When comparing the price-point of a refillable vape (or Juul), disposables are around the same price or cheaper, without the hassle of getting fluid on your hands.

Disposable vape buyers tend to ignore the price of refills is cheaper than buying a whole new vape, so most of the clientele are kids.

Disposables are also very popular for products such as Delta 8 - since Delta 8 has higher price point compared to Nicotine - the disposable plastic is just a marginal part of the cost.
Mathematicians Prove Symmetry of Phase Transitions
This type of reporting is always confusing to me- the author cites precise tax rates for each— concession worker 14.1%, Lebron James 35.6%, and Steve Ballmer 12%— but then critiques the tax code for allowing Ballmer to take depreciation deductions without making clear if 12% is artificially low due to depreciation deductions or if his “real” tax rate (before allowing for specious depreciation deductions) is actually MUCH lower than 12%.

I suspect it’s the latter, but if he author’s goal is to incite the reader’s sense of injustice, eliminating the depreciation deduction won’t radically change the disparity between these people’s tax rates.

"Poorer for the existence of these people," is quite a statement... hard to define too, at least in a value-less way.

I'm skeptical. I feel like there's an instinctive lunge from "these people irritate me" to "this is detrimental to society." In any case, you'd be writing off a fringe that has yielded quite a lot of stuff that I do like... like rock n roll. There is a definite connection there to the old "tune in drop out" mentality. The Beatles were some friends basically rejecting the rat race of their time and day, punk rock and hence most of modern pop, etc. Artists have always been receptive to subversive, diogenes-like ideas.

A lot of hackers from the early microcomputer days were rat race rejectors too.

As you close in on examples, it gets harder to generalize. Dude might be comparing himself to Diogenes, but I'd wager their motivations and ways are pretty different.

Everyone row in the same direction is a bad analogy, IMO, for large societies. We need contrarians.

The devolution of capitalism into crony capitalism is the problem.

Free and fair capitalist markets are good, but rare.
Because the point the author wants to make doesn't really stand if you look at the dollar amounts rather than the percentages...

The 'fair' way to do capitalism is everyone pays a fixed dollar value of taxes - since everyone gets equal benefit from the army, the courts, schools, etc. So they should pay equally.

Yet for various reasons that doesn't lead to good outcomes... So having tax percentages, and even escalating tax percentages, is a 'hack' that doesn't really have a theoretical basis. And therefore it doesn't really seem like people should be criticising that this hack is unfairly implemented when the vast majority of people still are better off than the theoretical capitalistic approach.
