> Is the value of a single place for all these conversations that much higher than having a bunch of independent forums scattered across the web?

The problem with "independent forums scattered across the web" is that they make discovery (of users and service instances) harder. There are ways around this, like the Fediverse and SOLID standards, but most bulletin-board-like forums do not support them as of yet out of the box.

I'm at a stage in my life where I have a true love/hate relationship with productivity.

I have a business, a job, two young children and there's this thing going on in the world that makes everything kind of strange and our of our control. Every time I read an article like this one, and this one isn't particularly good, if I may add, I feel like saying, yes, right, you go ahead and try that calendar blocking thing with two children at home generating an almost infinite amount of entropy in all four dimensions. And do tell me how that willpower thing is working out for you, that thing about just cranking on with the most important goals every day, when your nights are most unreliable, and you're just generally exhausted all the time.

But I keep clicking those links anyway, secretly hoping that one day, I'll crack the mystery of productivity for stressed-out parents...

But since we're on the topic, I'll share what I think is the secret now: the less you try to accomplish, the more you'll accomplish. Super-laser-focus is the only thing that works for me. That, and being kind to myself when I have unproductive days, which is almost every day.

Do you think that's appropriate for React Native? Many of the others on their list of notable projects would probably be considered "production" quality if you asked the average dev and didn't mention the version number.
Very cool and promising. Is there any literature on this "immune system in a dish", or is it ,understandably, proprietary?

Three main Q:

* How's reception been with med chemists?

* How do you expect cost to compare with some of the individual existing immunological wet lab screens? No individual numbers, just comparative would be interesting to know.

* How granular is data collection for this kinda all-in-one system, and is throughput high enough to collect data and build predictive models alongside it?

I used to work in the earlier stages of drug discovery and advances in these assays are fascinating. Really exciting work, guys!

I think the great Top Men comments is another excellent detail. When I was a kid I thought there might be some secret team that could work for the government and Indy would have to believe. But now that I’ve worked in research, it’s clear that whatever research field you work in, you absolutely know who the best is. We talked about the best Synthetic chemists all the time.

It would be next to impossible for Indy to not know those big names (in the same “notorious” way he knew of Belloq) so it really adds more to the government BS.

Many trades on exchanges happen against stablecoins instead of USD directly.

All trades on DeFi that go from 'fiat' to crypto go through stablecoins.

If you want a cut of the fees paid by speculators then you are probably interested in stablecoins because that's how you market make in these markets.
That’s true - we bought in late 2015, and at that point, we’d been looking for over a year and had missed out on two houses because we weren’t buying in cash and had to wait a few days to get the mortgage approved. Going by current asking prices in our neighborhood, we’d have to pay 30-40% more now.

There’s a correction in the offing, but of course, I have no idea when it will be.
I'll take a look at that book. The naive counter in my mind is that I can cede there are bad names without necessarily needing good names.

That is, the name of something takes as much importance as you want to give it. Using a name that brings up bad context is obviously bad. But... no amount of "good context" is going to help a bad product/thing.

For google, I would just argue it isn't a bad name. Not really a good one, per se. Before google, it was virtually an unknown word that had no meaning to most folks. (Indeed, it is a misspelling, after all.)
What happened is that during the pandemic when fares were at the bottom, drivers went out and got other skills.

That’s the biggest reason for inflation too IMO: the US economy was being held back by a shortage of skilled workers. Now that workers have acquired more skills, low wage jobs have fewer people to hire and the economy is more productive.

If you want to put the brakes on inflation, under the current fed system that means raising interest rates to slow investment so those there are fewer higher-skill jobs being created and more low-skill ones. Under MMT it means raising taxes on the top earners. Someone has to be the loser though.
Looks like fun.

Wow. You clearly are not connected with the broader white community, even if you're white yourself. Or just too young to see reality yet. I'm from the midwest, which removes a lot of the privilege on the coasts, normal people live here, not nearly as many silver spoons and generational wealth. Opioid and suicide death is through the roof compared to decades before. I knew many people personally that are now gone. If you hate white people, you should be very happy in 2021. Because as the backbone of America by default as the majority, they're under assault by corporate America to squeeze them for everything they're worth. Whether that's reducing their wages through offshore labor or effects of NAFTA, or by default as the majority group pushed pain pills by unscrupulous docs and big pharma.

Your generalization may be reality in your area, if you go outside at all and not just reading regurgitated politically motivated crap online. But I'm not seeing it on the ground, in the broad swaths of middle America.
This is definitely a marked difference. Grandma/pa get a near daily stream of pictures & video of kiddo growing up. They get video calls on a (relatively) big screen to interact on a weekly or so basis.

When I was growing up camcorders were expensive so video is limited to special occasions. Have a good amount of pictures but a lot fewer than we have of kiddo. Cameras were more expensive and each picture cost money in film and development. Long distance calls were short and infrequent because they were expensive.
Will you add support for anomaly detection or classification (something like predictive maintenance)?

1) Currently focusing on clearing the FDA in the US. One of our clinical advisors is very passionate about helping bring this also to Mexico. Please sign up in our waitlist and we will make sure to keep you posted.

2) You are raising a very good point about lacunar strokes. In general these are deeper in the brain structures and not easily picked by cortical-level brain activity monitoring. However we feel confident that once our product is regulatory cleared and out there collecting data, we will be able to pick the finer effects caused by such strokes.
It's noteworthy that you're talking about the market for products, not services. Services generally don't scale like products do. We need more plumbers than toilet manufacturers.
Nobody invests purely in a stablecoin if it's value is pegged to fiat. All else equal it's actually worse than holding dollars in a bank account which has a nominal interest rate.

The point of stable coins is to have a working capital system that is compatible with the rest of the crypto ecosystem. The reason is that most services in crypto aren't natively compatible with fiat due to fragmented legal & regulatory environments. Stablecoins are instant transfers to anywhere in the world. It's why a lot of countries are trying to build regulatory frameworks for stablecoins.

Two caveats:
(1) USDC actually can earn a lot more in a coinbase earn account or vault than your dollars in your bank account, so lot's of people are saving with stable coins via higher interest rates -- I just wouldn't call it "investing".

(2) Some stable coins are pegged to a value that isn't real fiat money. Some good thoughts here: https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1422993084002934788
I can come up with a bunch of possibilities (not sure how important they are for different people), but they revolve around using crypto for transfer, not price hedging, long term investment or short term speculation.

An example often cited for El Salvador, where a US worker A sends money to a family member B at home. If A uses banks and dollars, B may need to travel to a bank (long trip on a bus through areas not very friendly to strangers), pay sizeable cross-border commission, evade gangs looking for people withdrawing money, etc. With crypto, they could receive it at home. Businesses buying and selling things that accept crypto need to have significant amount in crypto to handle transactions. Neither of those parties wants BTC with its wild swings; they just want a "crypto dollar" that they can exchange, if and when needed, for a real one, so they build a position in it. My 2c.
It hasn’t solved any real problem that a regular database doesn’t solve better and more efficiently.
Yup

These times of algorithmic flight loading and canceling/combining 'underbooked' flights really stink.

I once ended up flying a Seattle - Boston redeye on a 747 with a total three other passengers, and the flight crew said that they (Braniff Air, bought by Northwest, etc.) were still making money on the flight because the hold was full of US Mail.

That was a quality experience we'll likely never see again.

(Then again, I also once flew London to NYC one row in front of the smoking section - that's also a quality experience that I won't miss never seeing again)
And that is why some people really like crypto currency. You get what is essentially ssh for money with all the pro and con implications.
Reddit seems to me like a very hard product to monetize. As a daily user I get a ton of milage out of Reddit Enhancement Suite (desktop) and Apollo (iOS), in combination with typical ad-blockers. Combine that with the low friction of sign up (disposable e-mails allowed, no confirmation needed, sitewide bans rare) and the tacit allowance of "objectionable" content (porn, gore, hate speech, harassment, etc.)... you don't really have fertile ground for meaningful engagement from an advertiser perspective.

Not only that, but if Reddit were to strongly disallow any or all of the above we have seen how EASY it is to simply clone the tech and re-host. There have been stories about certain communities being exiled from Reddit only to spring up just as quickly elsewhere with more or less the same exact user experience...

He referenced the Environmental Kuznets Curve. This provides a mechanistic understanding of what is happening. It isn't that modern industrial civilization requires a certain amount of pollution per unit of production which can be offloaded.

Rather, pollution is largely something that occurs in the production process in locations where desperation for production is so high that they are not willing to put in any personal effort or social policies to curtail it at the expense of production.

However, once you become richer, air quality and so on moves higher in our collective list of priorities. Production can occur without pollution. It is just more expensive, and requires care.
I wonder if permanent war was around in the 60's it was just easier to keep things under wraps because of smart phones. From what I have heard the CIA has been involved in some unsavory activities since before the 60s. I also believe that life lost by war and violence have decreased dramatically since then. It might be an ignorance is bliss thing.

But the music was definitely better back then!

So this means that people with less disposable income can afford to fly now.

So for those with more income, maybe it makes sense to pay for first class or hire a private charter plane?
Not really. It just another language, but, IMHO, threads have gotten A LOT better through Kotlin’s Coroutines. That said, the libraries have gotten a lot better and the new UI toolkit, Compose, addresses a lot of shortcomings, but it’s still early.
If you raise your prices, you drive away legitimate customers but don't drive away fraudsters, since the fraudsters aren't actually paying with real money. So raising your price increases the percentage of fraud you see, which means you probably need to raise your prices further, which further increases the relative amount of fraud.

To counteract this negative feedback loop, assuming the increased prices don't drive away all of your real customers, you can spend the increase on transaction analysis, and turn away customers based on their likelihood of fraud, so you've added inefficiency into the system to help deal with a criminal element, and also likely turned away real sales due to false positives in your analysis.

It's no surprise that these types of merchants are looking for a disruptive technology to remove this inefficiency. Doing so would allow them to charge less and outcompete as well as capture the entire market of people marked as false positives by other merchants.
Their evidence consisted of more than web server logs. I personally don't think their claims matched their evidence but they did provide details about the exploits found, corroborated by the FBI. The primary implant found on the DNC network had been linked by multiple other security companies to other hacks that were almost definitely carried out by Russia-affiliated hackers. These links have been well-documented and have supporting links in the Wikipedia article.

> I'm also not worried about the Mac app moving to electron - I interact with 1password via my mobile or browser plugin 99% of the time anyway, so I just don't really care.

The main 'customer benefit` claim for the electron switch (as opposed to the 'developer benefit') they are pushing is 'consistent UI across platforms` so your view exemplifies that, at best, there is really no customer benefit to the switch.
Why would GCC relicense? It exists for the license, not the other way around.

The entire point of GCC and the GNU project is to have an entire system with only free software, and the way to achieve that is not by allowing in more proprietary code.

Let GCC die if it has to die, but changing the license would make it meaningless.
Well, technically it does. After copying an item, when you right-click where you want to paste it to, if you hold the ⌥ (option) key, the 'Paste Item' option in the contextual menu will change to 'Move Item Here' (effectively making it into a Cut & Paste).

Uhh...I've been using Terraform at very large scale since 0.7, without Enterprise, and the only truly painful upgrade in this chain was 0.11 to 0.12.

There might have been some pain in specific providers, but at the same time those updates were going on, all three major cloud providers rewrote their own APIs.

Everything since 0.12 has been literal sunshine and rainbows flying out of our butts. The tool is _that good_ now.

After several calls with my Oregon house representative, she no longer responds to my e-mails or calls. Can't contact her via social media because I've been blocked there.

I've thought about going to her office but those are closed down too.

Of course, if you just block constituents you can just ... do nothing and in Oregon, you'll be re-elected because there's a big D next to your name. Of course, there's also no non-D candidate running, because it's a one party state. I imagine this is what it must be like to vote in North Korea. Oregon law mandates that one must run under the purview of a political party. Forming a party requires a large set of requirements that means only the democrats can run in many places because there's simply not enough of an opposition to form a cohesive opposition. This prevents independent candidates from running.

There is no incentive for my representatives to change the status quo.

Eventually, I'm guessing I'll vote with my feet, but I don't understand why I should have to move to an area in which the GOP runs unopposed in order to experience the 'other' side. I mean... it's not like the GOP is perfect and a uni-party GOP jurisdiction would be much better. What I want is actual politics with people competing for my vote, instead of people who assume they'll get it.
fwiw, is not such practice recommended by HN celebs here as well?

Besides, any packet captures are irrelevant. The swing states, for the most part, were using machine-countable paper ballots. There were manual recounts in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. These recounts agreed with the original counts to within a tiny fraction of a percent, way too small a difference to affect the election outcome. Had the machines been hacked, the recounts would have exposed it.

(I'm not taking about the current "audit" in Arizona, but the previous recounts there that were conducted by experienced people who didn't call themselves "Cyber Ninjas").

That is a tiny fraction of the stated evidence. Notably, there was specific known malware installed on DNC computers communicating with IP addresses in Russia.

You sound like you haven't worked with many BigCo projects. Clang is turning into an "enterprise" junkyard due to too many cooks spoiling the broth, crumbling so much under the weight of its own complexity that 2022 is almost here and support for C++20 still isn't anywhere near complete (unlike GCC). The more parties that get involved, the worse the code will get. Clang already has more people working on it than MSVC, yet MSVC is iterating faster; this suggests a fundamental problem with the architecture or development processes of Clang, which is not something that will be fixed by more hands on deck (remember the mythical man-month).

Yield farming with stablecoin pairs (ie USDC/USDT liquidity pool shares) has no impermanent loss and high returns, and you are liquid to buy any dips in the crypto market because you can unbundle your liquidity pool share at any time and you just have a bunch of stablecoins and dont even have to wait for custodial exchange withdrawals confirmations

So you are better positioned and can act faster on a broader universe of assets, than a large portion of the crypto space.
