I've had this experience lately of waking up around 3 or 4 AM and having a hard time falling back asleep for 30 mins or so. Nothing catastrophic, but a bit annoying.

To address this, I've tried a couple of different things to help sleep: melatonin; and valerian root extract.

The valerian root worked great, until one night it gave me the worst sleep paralysis night terror of all time. Sleep paralysis is nothing new to me. Getting it once every other month or so, it's a bit unpleasant, but far from terrifying. Sometimes I can even leverage it to induce a lucid dream. But this was on a whole other level, with a full blown out-of-body hallucination and a demonic face across room that locked me in a state of raw horror and doom. Also, it made me feel mildly hung-over in the morning.

Never taking that stuff again!

Melatonin on the other hand, perfectly fine. I take a 3mg supplement with L-Theanine 1 hr before I want to sleep. Makes me nice and drowsy, and I sleep like a baby through the night. Can't speak to how it affects dreams because I have dreams every night anyway even without it. But overall really good experience.

Haha okay that's right any large claim invites skepticism but on the other side a large negative acknowledgment dismisses that potential criticism. Accusation audit ... Perhaps I should lead with ”this will probably seem like another overblown marketing site spruiking inferior overpriced technology doused in way too much marketing speak. But hang on there a minute... ”

I'm not actually kidding. Just looking for solutions
Sure. There are probably also things they wish they could deprecate, but realistically can't. User expectations they wish they could replace and can't. I think that's the charitable interpretation of things asked for.

Having a career.

It's very rare for someone to last decades as a performer in the entertainment industry, and online content moves faster than most. You don't want to suddenly have no audience age 35 with zero skills or experience outside making potentially niche YouTube videos.

I wish we treated spectrum licenses like driver’s licenses: a privilege that can be taken away. And no, no refunds for the time and money you put into getting it.
I remember reading a Singapore newspaper and thinking it was the epitome of a one-sided one-party dictatorsh… democracy. After several articles, I noticed what was wrong with it.

Every article was made of the 4 exact parts you quoted, but used in bad faith. Especially “the opposing side, in their strongest argument” all relies on subjective interpretation. Words can always be twisted.
For me, I 'trust' a news source if it is reporting relevant, interesting or useful information - not a bunch of hyped up garbage. I expect every legitimate news source to be factually correct about events- that doesn't make them trustworthy, however.

This article lacks any self-reflection at all. Summary: media good, public bad, trust your ruling elite.
It translates to immigration policy. Plenty of people support freedom of immigration (note, immigration is not naturalization), a policy of letting people freely come to the US to live and work (as opposed to quotas, work permits, work requirements, residency restrictions, etc.).
What drew you to the Jelly Comb keyboard in particular over others? And what model of Onyx Boox do you use it with?
Yes because Apple invented the modular technology of a separate keyboard and portable computer... /s

I wasn't alive when that was produced, does that mean I am trying to recreate something I don't know about?

I think I get it though, it sounds like it was a product you liked. Excuse the above sarcasm, i just get frustrated that this whole 'repurposing black box tech' is a even thing and I wish we lived in the modular open source and anticapitalist/socialist world of tomorrow, today.
It would be nice if you could turn off accepting pull requests whilst keeping the project alive.
It's actually been disproven multiple times. There have been several studies that showed that giving poor people cash results in better results than financial literacy education (I don't have the book in front of me, but R. Bergman gives several sources for this in Utopia for realists).

The whole financial literacy education bit seems to just be a continuation of "poor people are poor because of laziness/bad education/bad decisions" while reality is more poor people are poor because of lack of funds.

What do taxpayers have to do with it? I thought it was just a for-profit company?
I'm one of them, used years ago to test some development on the Blockchain and now I use it mainly as wallet for some small holdings that I've in few tokens
Right, just like how any new system starts off. It's asking about how one might greenfield differently with the OLTP knowledge we have today.
I only intermittently used melatonin, mostly to help me normalize when on the you’re-in-your-20s-and-working-hard-and-playing-hard Bay Area lifestyle (that so was deleterious)! The last couple of times I used it (now years ago), was to help get me back on schedule after jet lag.

For my body, it was a prime example of less-is-more: a soft, minuscule dosage would soothe me to sleep when sunlight diminished; more would give me terrifying dreams. The flip side is the moment the sun rises, — boom — involuntarily awake!

I think it affected my light sensitivity permanently, even years after stopping. I am extremely thankful to be living in a part of the world these days (D-A-CH), where good blackout shutters are commonly built into residential windows.
If I had an app that showed me all tcp headers and you somehow hid your tcp headers from that app, I’d be upset.

Sure.. but what does that really mean? That the tests / scores do not reflect the actual value or performance of someone.

All I see is dinosaurs trying to fight in every possible way to try and keep their right to exist. Feels a lot like mp3 in the 90s.

People who are there for the piece of paper generally don't give a rats ass about the rest.

People who are really interested in their field have so many other ways to gather knowledge and experience.
This is actually what bothers me the most. It seems we are moving from individuality to egoism. More than values I think it's the abandonment of a shared society narrative (the book "Sapiens" was insightful on that mechanism): why bother being a good citizen and play our role when the game is rigged at every level (bonus with taxes financing useless wars)? And all of that reported by media on a credibility free-fall. The social contract seems kind of broken (not without reasons unfortunately).
Edelman, which creates the Trust Barometer, is a public relations firm which has a particular view of the world. It would be interesting to see the full list of questions they asked people.

I would argue that it's the divisive political environment and style of reporting that Axios does (see below) that creates an "uninformed public" which creates that distrust. Note in places like Finland (where there is more consensus politics and more people read newspapers) media trust has increased https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/finland_has_highest_trust....

"VandeHei said he wanted Axios to be a "mix between The Economist and Twitter"..."Axios's articles are typically brief and matter-of-fact: most are shorter than 300 words and use bullet points so they are easier to scan"

BTC opened the door and CBDCs will close it. Climate apocalypse is just a convenient rationale. They've often suggested using carbon credits as a supporting 'asset' for a CBDC system.
We have large businesses professing to be news but utterly lacking in commitment to the truth. Channels prepared to lie knowingly, while insisting everyone else is lying.

Even a world where, say, 90% of media is impeccable, but 10% is bullshit, is like a poker game where 10% of the players are shamelessly cheating while loudly telling you the game is rigged. They are correct: they broke the game.

It's really, really hard to compete against shameless cheats and liars.
I love it. I'd most likely use them behind feature flags that I'd have enabled only during development. That way if someone is using my library/binary and they don't enable that flag, the build will never fail. But for me developing, I can get reminded of it
The media have never been completely without issue. Even people trying to be objective have pre-existing biases and holes in their knowledge. Importantly journalists are professional writers and information gatherers whereas accurate understanding may require expertise in many and varied fields where the journalist is a sometimes inaccurate translator for actual experts who themselves may be wrong or biased.

Americas understanding of the world could be said to be diverging because of self selection of content in people's respective echo chambers but I don't think it apt to say it's because the media is less trustworthy just because they are less trusted.

Can you provide objective criteria to suggest that the accuracy of the news has declined?
BAYC gave rights to NFT owners, and that's why they became the example. Larva Labs / Punks is doing it wrong IMO.
That's quite an interesting idea.

I wonder what a social media landscape would look like if we managed to implement UBI. Effectively we would have any number of financially independent news sources and aggregators.

This is of course the same thing as "subsidies" but without professional ethics etc.

It's going to be interesting looking for a new news model for the coming decades.

> My favorite conspiracy theory is that the CCP is sowing the division within us to drive us to civil war, whereby they win WWIII without ever firing a shot.

How is this a conspiracy theory and how is this a bad thing? The so-called Cold War (i.e., WWIII) was won by the USA "without ever firing a shot", by exactly the same method: sowing division within the socialist bloc. Do you think that the U.S.-influenced division of its enemies was a bad thing? Would you have preferred an all-out war between the two nuclear powers?

clickbait. misleading title.
This, 100%. I think Protonmail gives people a false sense of security. I want to protect myself from companies that collect my data to profile me and sell that profile to people with money who want to manipulate me (aka advertisers). All of the parties I communicate with via email use more insecure providers, so even if Protonmail was perfectly secure, my emails are vulnerable anyway. I think it's important to keep in mind that the providers you're sending email to also have the ability to scan those emails and profile you based on them. As an additional layer of protection from this profiling, it's helpful to use a wildcard alias both when sending and recieving mail to make it harder (but not impossible) for third parties to build a single profile of you.

Personally, I've switched from Protonmail to Fastmail. Yes, Fastmail is in Australia which has draconian state surviellance laws and will comply with state requests for your data and share it with other countries. But you can't assume that any other email provider won't, as evidenced by what Protonmail just did. And Fastmail has better features for protecting you from being profiled, such as unlimited wildcard aliases, and the ability to create filters and deactivate aliases directly from incoming messages, in addition to a far better overall email experience.
Great to hear that I'm not the only one. After working all day in front of a screen I just can't get motivated to spend my night in front of a computer so I end up doing a lot of planning and note-taking but not enough drafting.

I have recently bought a Onyx BOOX Nova which I plan to use via a bluetooth keyboard when it arrives. I had the exact same thought regarding e-ink displays since I read a lot using a kindle after work.

Lots of people are citing cutting-edge bells and whistles for advanced query plans and data types, but after working at $BIGCO and seeing what exists there (and has existed for years), I get frustrated by the lack of ergonomic and operational essentials in the public-cloud options.

1. Horizontal scaling. PG can do sharding or replication, but that's not the same thing. Manual resharding is something that, once you've experienced it, you don't want to do it ever again, especially when things like Spanner/Cockroach exist. Database-level liquid sharding is such a dramatically superior solution that it makes any system that depends on an enumerated set of master instances seem completely obsolete.

2. Strong commit timestamps, again a la Spanner/Cockroach. Globally-ordered commit times and read snapshots aren't something you'll need in every schema, but when you do, they're magical - suddenly, you can use your OLTP system for strong lease assignment (conditioning other transactions on lease validity), you can construct arbitrary application-level transaction semantics (non-transactional read followed by transactional compare-and-swap is pretty powerful in some scenarios), and all sorts of other things.

3. Interface abstraction. Databases that ship language-support drivers should also ship a fake in-memory implementation for testing purposes that supports the same interfaces and options. There's no reason why I should have to start a subprocess and emulate a network connection to tell whether a query functions properly or not, or whether I've set isolation properties correctly for a pipeline.

4. Declarative schemas, and a well-defined update process (that isn't human-written DDL), are essential at any sort of organizational scale. Every time I see an "ALTER TABLE" statement checked into a repository, I tear my hair out.

5. Queue support, where message publishing/consumption is transactional with other read/write operations. You can always build a queue with a time-keyed table, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to get all the edge cases right. It's much better as a first-class concept supporting automatic sharding, retries, batching, and bounded-out-of-order delivery with a global cursor.
I could see it as taking a typical day's worth of transactions, creating new test db from this log, and then letting a tool try out different indexes based on some common heuristics and re-run the queries and benchmark. Because often it requires experimentation to get the right indexes.
I imagine the audience crossover between crypto and HN is quite high.
I'd easily pay $50 for the convenience of having it done at home - easily worth it just for the time saved.

If your girlfriend can do it for you, that's worth a lot more than the money saved. So in my view once you have established that your girlfriend can do it, that is the better choice regardless of price.
We need to bring them back honestly. I want more useful offline tech.

I like the idea and it has a fun name albeit somewhat dramatic (vs todo-or-do-not-compile). Personally, I'd prefer to just add some defensive unit tests to a code base to check upstream functionality is behaving as expected. That said, you can't test for everything and it hasn't been the last time I've been bitten by an upstream library. This is where version pinning is helpful and where upstream vendors / developers have some useful major/minor versioning. At least with a promise (within reason) that minor version bumps are backward compatible and only major version bumps require significant downstream developer attention.

Edit: it was perhaps implicit in my comment. Normally we/I won't ship/release if unit tests fail during CI.
These guys are really really good. I've read a lot of their terraform code, it's top quality, well architectured. Definitely recommend to read their modules.
"Never" is a strong word here. Perhaps cautiously and/or with guidance of a professional? Anecdotally, I have anxiety and OCD, and melatonin has never given me problems.
Many people consume things others perceive as wasteful. Value is subjective. If consumers didn't value their purchases, they wouldn't buy them. There are some who say commenting online is a waste of time, but here we are.
You can run a full node on AWS in a couple of minutes, they've a managed Blockchain service that allows you to create an eth node in literally a few click.

Not sure what's infeasible for you, but to me that sounds pretty reasonable.

If you've the skills just download geth and run it yourself in your own hardware. There are people who do this on a daily basis to mine eth and they're not hackers.
Tor + Scripts is not good. You're probably right on why there isn't a newer version on their onion service.

Without the vaccine you have an even larger number of cases (than with the vaccine) and a large portion being severe enough to end up in hospital.

Vaccination blunts both symptoms and transmission (I didn't mention the latter in my initial comment).

I disagree. I think most people want Google to ignore local governments in the context of secret subpoenas (US), govt-mandated hosting of content (as pushed by GOP in the US), censoring content (China/India/elsewhere), etc.

So, more than 1,000 users have signed up as of now. But because all content is public (does not require login), most traffic is unauthenticated. Some topics are ranked decently in Google, so users come and pick a resource and leave. Which is completely fine (that’s how Google itself works) but that does mean that the social features are currently underused.
Guess that Wile E Coyote had the last laugh...
From the article:

"And companies like Google shouldn’t be able to monetize data they collect without consent even if they aren’t technically “selling” it. Data collection, use, and sharing should be minimized by default."

If you meant "selling the information" more broadly as EFF used it here (which I think is not an unreasonable way ultimately, just not what most people would commonly understand the phrase as), then please next time clarify. As EFF had to clarify in their article, that's not what most people understand those phrase as. If you want to avoid confusion, it would be more clear if you say "you don't want your data monetized".
