Absolutely agree. It feels like the have a C level just to have it. Not only is that not going to be cost effective (C level titles expect C level comp) but it is setting you up for a lot of left hand/right hand issues even at a small size where that definitely should not be happening. Having worked in large orgs with 10+ levels it is a nightmare in the making.

You're implying I have selective bias in the evidence I put forward. However, you have only put forward a hunch - "my money is on".

Your method of critique is post-modern - you have your evidence, they have their evidence. But that is not true. There are no studies (apart from one) that show Ivermectin is not effective - it's just the effect level that differs between them. There are now 30 RCTs! When you know that Ivermectin works best when given early and at higher (but safe!) doses, you can design studies that show a lower effect level. Just give it late at low doses on a healthy cohort. Then you conclude "Ivermectin has no effect". But meta analyses account for variances between RCTs - and they show it works.

If you look at the MacMaster and Oxford trials - it allows participants who have had first sympthoms of Covid up to 14 days ago, from age 30. And they only dose for the first 2/3 days at 200/300 mcg/kg, respectively. We know from the meta analyses there is a dose response, and ivermectin has safety data with over 1200 mcg/kg. So, yes, you can design a RCT to give the answer you want - if you are incentivized to do so. Show me the incentive and i will show you the outcome.

In professional cycling the Ride as Hard as You Can people are necessary but often don’t achieve any real rank on the team. They might not even finish a tour, either having not budgeted enough for the late stages, or being so new that they can’t understand how tired they’re gonna be later.

Their claim to fame may be limited to being on the top team, it might be being on a top 5 team. If you’re lucky you team may place several people in the top 10. If you’re their hedge against the captain being injured, that might even be your name in seventh place.

Lemond is famous in small part for being number #2 to Bernard Hinault and feeling it should have been him on the podium.

But Lemond is the classic case of the unreliable captain. He was like a race horse. On a good day he was like the wind. But a stiff breeze could lay him up. He lamented the Hinault situation but illness stopped him from winning two others. And then that goddamned duck hunting trip… (I met him a few years later, he did a signing at a bike shop owned by a friend… who he as going to go duck hunting with the next day. I so wanted to ask him why he was crazy.)

I never felt he had the sort of lieutenants that Armstrong enjoyed, the way he was to Hinault. I’m racking my brain trying to remember who was on Delgado’s team and coming up completely blank. But I think that just proves my point.
Signal is becoming a joke that we should reconsider using, and now has dangerous bugs that is at the edge of compromising people's privacy.

Has this app/service really been audited properly?

We now need to consider serious alternatives that we should get behind like Element [0] or Session [1] but I am open to user friendly alternatives other than Signal (at worst even Quill [2] or Delta Chat [3]).

Lifting provides much more than improved health.

If you're sick and tired, lift or build shit. Whatever gets you moving.
When this will happen, I will rename the app to CudeText. I am the developer.
I feel a bit sorry for them, because with money you can build yourself a really nice gilded cage (or be born in one), which is extremely difficult to escape from because it would take giving up the money. This makes it hard to develop the other kinds of powers I mentioned. I believe these thoughts are not my own, but are the basis of ideas like "The love of money is the root of all evil" and "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (I am not a Christian but I am familiar with it - I'm sure I could find similar thoughts in other religions)
Yes, so the Usb-C dongle is Usb-C to Usb-C.
I'm not sure it's that simple.

If you have weak back muscles, for example, walking is not going to do that much for them - but weight lifting will.

If your quads have atrophied because of a past knee injury, just walking - even very actively - will not fix them (bitter experience here) and the injury may well recur. But gentle goblet squats and light leg presses combined with balance exercises for proprioception will sort that out.

You lose a lot of muscle when you get older, and if you have any injuries you will naturally tend to avoid specific movements in your daily life. This _is_ better addressed by weight training (ideally with physio guidence) rather than just aiming for a goal of "being active".
For her sake I hope your partner finds someone else.
>This is mathematically impossible to apply universally. Can it be a moral code if it can't be universal?

It's obviously impossible but it is better than the inverse which is also impossible. The difference is that if you are below the potential that is actually possible you will approach the maximum potential of your society. You're failing, but you are failing upwards.

"taking from everyone and giving very little in return is moral." is effectively trying to approach the minimum potential of your society i.e. zero.
We have to structure the incentives to drive the outcome. Sec 8 is one program that (for all its faults) has shown effective and manageable. The door swings both ways - need to ensure good landlords want to provide housing and the “slumlords” are identified and punished/removed from programs.

SF also has the BMR program that’s designed to provide ownership opportunities for low income people. If NGOs with State backing could be involved, BMR inventory could be an interesting starting point. Then you could provide additional incentives to developers to include even more BMR units, etc.
That might be true for startups, but my former employer is a 20+ year old established company with a specific niche. Growth is limited, but business is stable and profitable. It's a different mindset.
Absolute drivel..
Btw, I am a Democrat and occassionally I'd like to call bullshit on many things. Challenge our own assumptions. But in last couple of years, that's become really difficult. I am vehemently against censorship and it appears to me that Democrats have unconstrained power since Big Tech and the entire internet is on our side. This is feeling a bit dangerous to me.

Your comment on Republican party is spot on. I'd be down with a more centrist and less populist party - Lincoln party would be something I'd consider.

I also don't take politics as seriously as so many people in this country. It shouldn't consume you. It should be a peaceful debate with picking good points and rejecting crazy ideas.

My biggest criticism of HN is that it doesn't know how to handle conflicting interests and most people here have lost their ability to speak freely and against mainstream. It used to be that HN was a contrarian community with lots of interesting perspectives without downvotes. It's no longer the same. My hunch is that social media is shaping the world to be more in-line with mob mentality and it is dismantling the founding principles of America. America is headquarted in Menlo Park, CA.
“No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money,” wrote the Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey in a 1985 paper. “All available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing.”

If it were to grow by 9 bp (0.09%) every day, it would obey Benford's law. Question is how pathological that would be, but yes, arguably less.
With all respect, I call bullshit to your "4 unique keys" theory. Locks have a long and varied history all around the world. There is no way a single skeleton key would even fit into an Arabic, Chinese, Indian, Venetian, Swiss, or German lock.
My 2 cents: Exercise = hard. I hate exercising but love doing almost any sport. Many Sports have side effect of good exercise. I think it triggers my instinct to keep it up when I am tired. Chasing a soccer ball similar stimulus to run and catch prey, or run away from danger. Find a sport you like. Even if your terrible at it, you will get better at it. Both physically and skill wise.
Dammit, I forgot about VoidTools. Ditto looks interesting.
The best time to start is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

I just turned 50 and do calisthenics daily (over 175,000 burpees cumulatively, over 50 per day), requiring no equipment, spotter, money, or risk of injury. I have bought a few kettlebells over the years and a rowing machine.

A couple years ago I accepted a challenge by the rowing machine company, Concept2, to row at least 100,000 meters in the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I made it and felt great, though very tired, figuring in my late 40s I'm behind the curve.

Then I read of this 77 year old woman who rowed 100,000 meters per day for a month https://web.archive.org/web/20210306044719/https://www.row2k.... In one month she rowed more than I had in a decade.
Yeah, the only way this chart makes sense to me is as "what's your target for using your series X money" rather than "where you should be when you get your series X money".

The plugin can be improved, it is open source. FindInFiles does it’s job good, though.
This underscores why it’s important to allow third party clients to connect. When only the first-party client is allowed, the failings of its UI drag down the core, too — it doesn’t matter how good the core is if it’s permanently mated to a half-baked UI.
I know this guy has a track record but not sure why you’d only have 12 engineers and 5 PMs in a 50 person company. Do you really need the Finance stuff? Why not just engineering and sales?
Depends on whether you're depicting them from straight above or at another angle. The point remains that they don't typically hold their wings that far forward. It's not clear how far forward the one in the picture has its wings because of the angle.

So, sure, if you're depicting a buttery in a completely different pose to the examples in the article, it might be right.
I am not sure how this is perceived as attack ? Sending electrical signals doesn't have to mean attack by default. Pollination happens via bees.. then the fruit grows to attract birds or animals who eat them and spread the seeds through excretions or else the fruit will fall off and rot...

I'm not saying these concerns aren't anywhere in Roman history and politics (that would be naive), but I think in many cases the law can be a reflection or encoding of what a culture puts value on, without that as direct explanation. If there was a cultural outrage, and expectation that the state do something... Then why not?

We spend a lot of time in society today talking about "limited government" and focusing a lot on overreach, many people thinking the state shouldn't legislate morality. I have a hunch the Romans felt less of this.
Also, it's a lot of wood in the background, in the interior. For a warmer and more inviting experience. Rather than a concrete room with metal equipment.
While building things is great, it isn't a substitute for weight training. If you are training for strength there is no substitute for progressive overload with barbell weights. The best part is that it isn't a tremendous time investment either. I train 3 days a week for about 3 hours at a time. I could possibly do it faster. That leaves plenty of time left to build things with your hands on your own land assuming you have the resources for that.
Rules are different in each country of course but most unlicensed frequencies can only be used with mechanisms that leave space for other users (networks) like listen before talk or restricted duty cycles. Cellular technology isn’t built with shared access to spectrum in mind although there is/was some effort to add it (LTE-U, 5G-NR-U).

You're right. Also, yard work is generally unpleasant. I have found that by approaching yard work as exercise, I then enjoy both a lot more (like a _lot_). My whole attitude about squatting down, pulling weeds, cutting, etc. etc. is really a pile of opportunities to squat, bend pull, push as repetitive strength and stretching exercises. I've change my techniques of the actual tasks to make them more focused on muscle groups, etc. The "two birds killed with one stone" benefit is very reinforcing for me, too.

YMMV.
The market for gold's practical use pales in comparison to the market for its monetary use. Remember that central banks still hoard billions of dollars of gold bars in safes guarded by soldiers. Gold is a $12 trillion dollar market cap, and not because people love using it in electronics or showing off bracelets.

All value is human made. A painting is not worth $800m until someone decides to pay that much for it. Fiat dollars are only worth anything because we trust that other humans will take it from us in exchange for stuff we want. When we stop trusting this system, it ceases to have value. This happens for example in hyperinflation events where whole currencies die.
I'm not sure how anyone could walk 5+ miles a shift @350lbs and not injure themself, unless they were that big from training for Strongman or the like. Humans are not meant to have that much fat.
I read about this notion often and the deeper truth behind it seems to be that abstractions are hard and they tend to be harmful if done wrong.

At the same time there are clear, obvious benefits of abstraction, which is why we don't typically write in machine code. This means that the goal is to create the right abstractions and not just throw our hands up in despair.

Using the popularity of Go as a metric is interesting, because it is a language that was designed in an environment with very large amounts of code and high fluctuation. It was targeted at the programmers that are replaceable cogs in a very large system, so it has to accommodate the lowest common denominator. One of the great features of the language is how easy it is to learn. (But they went too far, leaving out parametric polymorphism which is a feature they are now working on for years.)

Something that is easy to use and understand typically has a broader appeal. However, other environments want different things from programming languages. The appeal of a Lisp for example is its expressive power, programming expertise scales with the language more strongly. At the other end of the spectrum we have languages like Rust and statically typed functional languages that have very strong guardrails, stronger runtime guarantees can be made in exchange for agility. Again, certain types of programmers who face certain problems are drawn to these.

So creating good abstractions is both hard and desirable and programming languages are itself abstractions and facilitate the creation of abstractions. But what is a "good" abstraction depends entirely on perspective, which includes problems, domains and people. This is why languages like Lisp are not going away, languages like Go are popular and why there is plenty of diversity in language design.

You might try to accept the rest of us don’t jump through the hoops of having a financially thriving job for you.

It’s not to bring order to chaos. It’s to afford shelter, food, and healthcare.

Sorry, not sorry.

Perhaps you’d be happier living as a hermit, where you can organize as you wish; everything just so! without the rest of humanity, that does quite a bit of the heavy lifting for you, interfering.
For the record, this kind of thing is absolutely happening in San Francisco, and it’s happening in other West Coast cities as well, like Portland. The OP is a little off in their attribution. The biggest cause of this is the 9th Circuit ruling in Martin v. Boise, which dictated that cities cannot force a person not to camp on public land unless they can offer a meaningful alternative. Cities have built their own policies to deal with this, and then multiple cities on the West Coast also elected progressive District Attorneys, who explicitly consider things like what the OP is describing to be “non-violent” crimes, and therefore not a priority. Here’s what San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin said about this:

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes," he said. "Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

That’s a noble goal, but it comes with a HUGE blind spot - namely the intersection of homelessness and criminality. The apparent implication is that the citizens impacted by these “quality of life crimes” can go pound sand.

Good Lord, that's genuinely dystopian. People often say the '70s was too biased in favour of unions, but I can't help but wonder if the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction in the present. Those two paragraphs make me want to retch like a cat puking up a hairball.

>In my experience, the answer is no like a solid 90-99% of the time. At least in America, the wealthy buy their kids into elite high schools, which feed into elite colleges, which feed into jobs at elite, increasingly monolithic institutions/corporations.

Well, this may be bad but what is the alternative? It's not like the life of an average citizen is any different other than in degree. They also use money to go to a good school and good college to get good jobs at good companies. I don't see the injustice here as substantial. I see bigger flaws in the money system than our society maintaining itself.
My goal is to make you all feel how I feel reading this forum.

It’s not enough for signal to work for tech people. You have to be able to convince your family and friends to use it, it’s a network effects problem. They are adding features so that ordinary people can have private communications
I’ve always loved cardio but found weight lifting to be impossibly boring. Then one day I decided to do 2-3 minutes of power sets, once in the morning and once at night. Every day.

I very quickly became stronger than I’ve been before. It’s such a small time commitment that consistency is relatively easy, but you still accumulate a decent amount of volume per week.
Yes. I'm building a general purpose tool at the moment and this very much captured why I've been finding it hard to work out a food marketing approach for it.
Breaking what law exactly? US law? None of these people were American. So, US governments has no authority over them, and in the countries they live, there is no ban on re-export.

Also, quoting from the document:

"The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)
authorizes the President of the United States to deal with "unusual and extraordinary threat[s] ... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States."

Procuring railway parts is not a threat to national security. Abusing national security to threaten companies to deny essential spare parts for people's safety around the world is bigotry and not enforcing law.
Hi Micah, I'd like to follow these posts but I don't like signing up. Would you mind adding an Atom/RSS feed?
Bullshit. It's no different than companies accepting cash payments.

Obviously the goal of the tax authorities is to be able to track everything, but that's just not right. It's not okay for governments to be able to track and every financial transaction or freeze any asset, even if that means some can cheat on taxes or hide money from creditors in bankruptcy.

Any business with significant cashflow will not be able to get away with it anyway, and the level of control necessary to achieve perfect enforcement is too dangerous to allow authorities to have.
I doubt I'm alone in this regard. If I spend an hour lifting weights my mind will inevitably wonder how much useful work I could have gotten done outside with the shovel, pickaxe, and wheelbarrow in the same time.

It's a source of depression, for me, once I understood the value of manual labor expended on my own property. Lifting weights has become kind of a pathetic waste of time if I have access to my land where there's an effectively infinite sink for such efforts.

I recently deployed an LTE network at a research station in Greenland. Licensing ended up much easier than I expected (the Greenlandic government almost immediately granted the license for LTE band 8), but this is in a place in the middle of the ice sheet hundreds of miles from the nearest village.
Yes, both lexers are present in the Addons Manager.
Right. Most people would not meet this definition.
I suppose it is similar, but you’ll likely need more people per client to make it work. In my experience SaaS software is much easier to scale than SaaS ML. (See also: https://a16z.com/2020/02/16/the-new-business-of-ai-and-how-i... )

On the ML side you probably have more people working on data gathering/cleaning/client specific tweaks than actual modeling. (Practically, I’d say is 80%-20% at best in the projects we do at work).
Similarly, I can't bring myself to do exercise for its own sake, but I am quite happy to actually work to make things happen, such as moving furniture for friends or even digging ditches.

Unfortunately, I still have the problem of motivating myself to get started on my own chores. I have a much easier time helping other people with theirs.
