Chances are the fine for deliberately causing RF interference is more than the fine for causing harmful noise. I looked into this too when I used to share a bus commute with this complete dickhead who thought the bus was a good place to share his taste in music but in my country at least it has some fairly hefty penalities if you're caught and even if you're not, if you don't build it well you might jam emergency communications as well which I'm sure we can all agree is a pretty awful thing to do.

I have trouble with an iPhone.

A friend passed me his back in 2011ish to call his wife letting her know he'd be late to pick her up. It utterly confused me. No back button. A million apps on the 'home' screen. Needing to swipe in an undocumented manner, at least undocumented via a 20 second conversation.

The last Apple product I'd owned, an iPod mini, had useful things like buttons. And despite buttons it managed to have unintuitive features such as sticking music in multiple machine-named folders that only iTunes understood and a proprietary connector. So I dropped the iPod mini and went with something no-brand that was a USB stick that went in a small cradle that had a small battery; it had buttons, it functioned as a music player, it had a sane file system, it was charged via USB, I was happy.

I still have trouble with iPhones.

I have high blood pressure, I watch my salt intake and I'm certain it is genetic since I eat well and im not overweight.

My father and all my brothers have high blood pressure as well. Each take different meds with varying results.

I'm taking a food supplement, primary herb is motherwart and I've gotten my numbers back to normal.

I've been having my blood pressure steadily rise since being a teenager but now I have a food pill that keeps my numbers proper!

It sounds too good to be true and yet it's not. I've had the levels in normal range for the last 6 months!

This is the specific product I've been using:

The other suggested food pill is magnesium, which puts me to sleep similar to Benedryl. I take 30 minutes before bed when I remember.

I work with a Natropathic Dr and have brought this up with my general practitioner who is too busy and over worked to follow up much on this.

I have a machine to take my reading so, same machine, same body position, same location, same times. I take my reading randomly lately expecting to get a bad reading and yet it's still normal.

I understand how this makes me look to share my story,like I'm peddling a pill, I'm willing to risk my reputation if it means helping anothers, and just sharing what has worked for me.

I'm 36 years of age.

I grow food but the ingredients in this pill are grown all over the world (there are 5 active ingredients):

Motherwort herb 290mg | Hawthorn leaf & flower 300mg | Passion flower herb 200mg | European Mistletoe leaf 100mg | African Snake Root 24mg

I plan to try to grow some of these plants and potentially try to narrow down if one herb is most responsible than others for my stabilization. It would be cheaper to grow my own herbs if possible.

It took about 3 weeks to see a downward trend.

I quit coffee two years before starting this pill.
The original Tesla roadster came out in 2008, and while it was a very niche vehicle, we can still learn from it being 13 or so years old. Even ignoring the life of the cells themselves, everything around them has changed, as Tesla's learned a lot about making electric cars. eg the plate on the underside of the vehicle to protect the batteries has undergone some reworking. It would be foolish to think a Tesla from 2031 wouldn't have similarly advanced from something from this year.

Linux does support but if an obscure combination of components doesn't work no one will go hunt down Linux developers but Microsoft will be required to provide support either way.

> Workers have their own interests that are not necessarily aligned with those of the users/society

Usually you will find that they are, because workers are also users and vice-versa.

> support working hours only from nine to five on business days, higher pensions and fewer new hires, more job security

I guess you're from the US? "Higher pensions" should have nothing to do with a company: that's a public policy matter and pensions can be mutualized across employers as is the case in France (despite past & present governments doing their best to dismantle that public service).

The 8h workday is established minimum standard across industries for over a century now (several centuries in some industries/places), and even when it was not (see Haymarket affair) it was considered a pretty weak/useless demand, more symbolic than anything. Thinkers of the time advocated that given the established technological progress at the time, it should be possible for everyone to work just a few weeks every year and still enjoy modern comfort. Some more modern thinkers believe the same applies today, considering how many resources/efforts are wasted annually.

Moreover, "fewer new hires" is not necessarily correlated to "more job security". It may be true on the scale of a single company, but on the scale of a whole society, a public policy of everyone finding opportunity for their contributions to humanity (that rarely yet sometimes overlaps with what's called a "job") leads to better "job security" for everyone and anyone.

If a government really wanted to tackle unemployment, there's many areas of life that need considerably more workers and resources, including education & health which are pillars of a healthy (pun intended) society. But capitalist policy is to generate misery in order to pit everyone against everyone else so a tiny minority can profit... and in this regard, capitalism works excellently.

Ask HN: I can’t do oncall rotations. Am I done as a SE?
Been working as a developer for enough time to put on my CV the word “senior”, and I’m looking for another gig. My usual tactic when finding a new job is:

- play their game: do countless interviews (phone, hangouts, pair programming, you name it)
- excel in each part of the interview
- once they know I’m a good fit for their company, I ask more than they usually pay for whatever the role I am applying for. Sometimes I ask for more vacation days or other similar perks

Now, I have to say that my tactic has worked out so far so good. Recently, though, I have been hitting a wall: oncall rotations. I reject any kind of work besides the usual 9-5; it’s nonnegotiable for me. I don’t need more money (it’s not that I’m earning a lot either), but even if I would needed it, I would prefer to work “harder” (smarter?) during the usual 9-5 hours.

The stress of potential incidents occurring during the night or on weekends gives me anxiety and no amount of money can fix that. Unfortunately, companies these days require senior software engineers to be oncall from time to time because, well, their culture says so, or something like that (“In this company every team owns their products from conception to deployment and maintenance. We expect from engineers to have a business mindset, to be proficient using a variety of tech stacks, and to be there to keep the software up and running in case of unexpected failure”).

Is this a trend or I just got bad luck in my recent findings?

In my case, the BP dropped after a few weeks. After a month and a half, I could no longer take pills that I took for almost two decades because they depressed my BP to unsafe levels (blacking out when standing up).

My fasting glucose also got lower, though it was never bad to start with. I experimented with a continuous glucose meter and I have seen about 5 per cent reduction (from 5.0 to 4.7 in Euro units).

This is hardly a compelling reason to switch to a visual layout.

Then the code looks remarkably like the visual layout with the advantage that simple tools can search it and edit it.

“So far, all the consensus mechanisms that I know of employ a game of chance to select who gets to append the data.”

Which seems to be the typical sentiment in comments when it comes to Blockchain technologies and DLTs in general. I’m not surprised considering the amount of questionable technology and news associated with the space.

But clearly there are technologies out there. I thought it was important to address that. Most people obviously don’t know about the newer technologies in this space and remain in the dark.

As to your points on decentralisation - I agree they’ve got their work cut-out to prove us otherwise. Time will tell. But if you’re going to make a genuinely useful public ledger that can act as a layer of trust, you better make damn sure it’s safe from bad actors and is future-proof. Their route to decentralisation certainly seems like a good way of achieving that. They’re playing the long game by the looks of things.

How so? You can do whatever paradgim you want in CL. There is no policing involved. Not in the sense of Haskell or Rust at least. CL will let you modify globals or share data willy nilly just fine.

IMO the cube has partial solutions that simplify the problem as you go.

This "game" seems more like a penrose tiling. Any mistake may not be apparent until you cannot put a piece, thus there is relatively little simplification and it may not be apparent how far you must undo the puzzle to make additional progress.

Just my gut feeling on the comparison of the two games.

That means someone needs to go through everything and decide what is sensitive and not sensitive, both from a business perspective and with respect to privacy laws.

I recently went through a bunch of older board meeting minutes and related materials from a non-profit because we were considering donating it to an archive. I scanned a few things but basically decided there was too much potentially sensitive stuff. Yeah, it was old but just too much dirty laundry that someone could take out of context that it wasn't worth the scrubbing.

I think I understand these. I think these solutions work where it is very clear what the scope of object should be.

But what about cases in large projects with many developers where a library/package allocates an object on the heap and passes it back to a caller? Sometimes it is not clear who is responsible for deallocating the object. This is the challenge we ran into building large projects in C, C++, and Ada. These days, I use Java, C#, Rust, or Go, because I know there will be no dangling pointers.

> (...) a single "revolutionary" concept or idea. Some examples include safety in Rust (...)

I think these languages are focusing too much on a few ideas while ignoring the rest. For example if I'm writing a Rust program which launches missiles, then I can still accidentally launch these missiles in safe code. A GC'd language would still provide good memory safety guarantees while allowing me to focus more on the problem at hand (not distracting me with type errors), and thus it could be safer overall.

I agree. The important thing for the other cases is to be pragmatic and use the escape hatches. Use a Mutex even though it’s not necessary and accept the runtime cost, or use an unsafe pointer, but get the job done. I’ve seen the phenomenon in both Haskell and Rust now where people would introduce way to much complexity for a relatively simple problem to conform to some sort of ideology.

Considering that sodium intake was linked to a bad diet ("Almost half of that comes from 10 processed foods that kids tend to eat a lot of: pizza, bread, processed meats, savory snacks, sandwiches, cheese, processed chicken, pasta dishes, Mexican dishes, and soup."), could this be a case of correlation not meaning causation?
> I read some story about "customer is always right" in US vs. "customer must be saved from his ignorance" in Japan.

I think the typical phrasing is "The customer is god" in Japan, though thankfully this mindset is changing somewhat. It leads to great customer service, but also some super entitled customers who treat servers like crap.

I would guess the tea and sugar story is more about the rigidity of Japanese menus. If the green tea doesn't have a sugar option, it won't ever come with it even if the black tea version does. Though I'm fairly sure I could order a green tea with sugar if I really wanted it.
Establishing better defaults in an application is never a bad move. Power users can still customize things to make them behave in whatever way they want, and newbies benefit from a better default setup. This doesn't mean dumbing down the UX. The goal is to provide a better ramp from newbie to power user, so that newcomers can quickly benefit from some of the cool features without having to study for a week before being able to do the most basic things.

This is how Vim does it, actually. If you keep it in insert mode, it's like a basic text editor, usually with the terminal itself taking care of basic copy-paste. Eventually, people begin dropping out to normal mode to use more and more commands.
