Oh it was a complete rip off. It was apparently the luxury end of things but they put us in the “overflow” block. Catering was included in that price.

It was renewed every 3 months so we moved into a 4 bed house which we rented for £400pcm and got 5 of us in it by using the living room as a bedroom. We got three weeks money back from the housing management after complaining loudly.
We're talking about ~1:10000 odds for one specific vaccine when vaccinating young males, which is why many countries are no longer using that vaccine for this demographic. Other vaccines are closer to 1:100000, which isn't far from the myocarditis risk of an infection with COVID-19.

The study also shows that there was practically no increase in risk for the third shot (though with a fairly wide CI), so it's possible the risk may just depend on whether someone is immunonaive or not.
You and I follow different artists. I've seen artists saying it's becoming a full-time job trying to stop people from turning their work into NFTs.
yeah, this is the right answer. Are there any examples where this isn't what you want? I guess GROUPING SETS and ROLLUP, but those could be special.
AFAIK buses and trains are safer than cars for the occupants, and they are a lot better for the environment.

What mostly hinders public transport experience is a chicken-and-egg problem, basically, with more passengers we would have more routes, and more buses/trains on them.
>Buproprion is quite good at removing false reward loops. Made me really tone down video games. It's used also for smoking cessation. It's quite subtle. The other SSRI/SNRI meds have strong side-effects.

That would be a miracle if it did that. My doctor put me on this precisely because it is less strong than other drugs like Adderal. He does not want me going down an addicting road unless necessary. (my summary of what he told me)

So far I have been taking it for about a month although I have missed days here and there and while I try to take it at the same time, sometimes the window varies by +/- 1-3 hrs. I am on the 150mg XR version. What is typical time frame we are talking about before we notice changes? 1 month? 6 months? How long did it take you?

The fact that I am on HN/Reddit/youtube for a couple hrs each day instead of exercising/coding/tidying up/working on my life seem to indicate that no reward loops have been broken thus far. In fact I am slowly sinking in the other direction(but i'm not sure if buproprion is causing it). I have broken another all time record for weight gain despite increasing my exercise regime somewhat.

Was considering stopping treatment after a month if no changes are noticed and wait some time to clear it out of my system before trying something like ayahuasca or psilocybin.
this article is from may 2021. I suggest we add a warning to the title since the omicron may cause more harm to children.

Oh trust me I know... and it's more ridiculous than bundling a scanned copy of a signature, and at best only as functional as that!
federal regulation requires backup cameras on new vehicles, so that breaking likely to break would be probably be considered a decent sized problem
And big cars are caused by safety regulations. People like to deny unintended consequences, but modern vehicles are a big example of this.
Who cares. I'm not copying documents or doing astrophotography. I have still yet to find a modern lens that replicates the look rendered by my old C/Y Zeiss Planar and Rolleiflex Tessar lenses.
> This is hardly ever mentioned. The fact that children easily spread it back to parents, etc…

In no way was this ever left out of the discussion. This is a major part of the reason for all the virtual schooling that happened last year.

There were some early reports that children weren’t spreading COVID, and to my knowledge that data was correct. Delta changed that due to the ease with which it spread. But even in the context of early COVID variants, transmission from students to at risk adults was a common topic.
To be honest, I’ve always had a problematic relationship with food. I always liked plain things — the year before college I lived mostly off of eating plain, microwaved bagels. At oriental restaurants I would always just order steamed white rice. Wes Felter, noting I would apparently only eat white food joked, referencing a Science Fiction novel, that I would eat light bulbs, but “only the white ones”. This reached its extremes at a World Wide Web conference where all the food was white, even the plate it was on. Tim Berners-Lee later pulled my mother aside to share his concerns about this diet.

Finally, one day at an oriental restaurant by Stanford (years before I went to school there), we had the typical discussion except this time Cory Doctorow spoke up: ‘are you sure you’re not a supertaster?’ he asked. I had heard the They Might Be Giants song but never considered the possibility. I thought about it as the conversation continued and it seemed to make sense to me. [At this point I imagine a crane shot lifting up and up over the conversation at the restaurant. Fade to:] I did some research on the Internet and did the test (which formally consists of putting blue food coloring on your tongue, taking a piece of paper with a three-hole punch, placing it over the tongue and counting the number of taste buds in it) and indeed, I am a supertaster. This hasn’t eliminated the discussions about my eating habits, but it does shift the blame.

It's very possible.

A lot of my old team at my previous company (tech-as-a-cost-center), including myself, left for Silicon Valley style tech companies or similar (tech-as-a-profit-center). All of us probably at least doubled our TC, some of us more (4x for me).
My VPN solution is that I run Wireguard on a server with only IPv6 connectivity.

So when I am connected through that VPN I see some breakage, e.g. github and some CDNs not working.
Same thing happened to me. I contacted support and they confirmed my account had been deleted, but I'm still uneasy..
It's probably a bit gnarly to market it so closely with OnlyFans, makes me think it's associated with them. Might be careful of a lawsuit there if it blows up. If I was OnlyFans, I would definitely try to get you to change your name/cease and desist/etc.

I do think the name works though, it's provocative and for the audience that would use this (not HN) it's probably fine and more relatable than "Patreon for X"

There is a huge asymmetric information problem (I don't know if you are telling the truth about your trades until I pay to see them), which exists on OnlyFans too, think of the Bella scandal, and if you as the platform give out any info (daily/month returns), you are leaking the persons alpha. OnlyFans gives almost 100% of the trust building exercise to the creator and doesn't really try to solve this problem but there is a lot less at risk there.

Thinking about how to game this, this makes me think I should:

1. Collaborate with some people to get one profitable account and sign up with many different profiles marketed as different people, monetizing that "source of alpha" many many times.
2. If I am an influencer, I can sign up and charge a ton for access "for this month" and monetize way more than I do off of my trades. I just keep going on and off the platform so I don't have a history.
3. I think one of the draws of the discord community is the engagement and community. One of the things that WSB showed us is that, yes it's about making money, but there are a ton of other purposes outside of that. I think you're right in that you are competing with those discord servers, but a point of disintermediation could be that we just go to discord instead of me paying to see your trades here AND I get to interact with you.

https://fundseeder.com/home did something like this about 7-8 years ago where you could get a track record to show to investors. I see they've pivoted now and I think the core thing here is that it's really about the creator more than "following trades and making money." I would focus on the people more than the alpha. i.e. Instead of marketing to the demand "follow your favorite creator so you can make money" market to the supply "We give you tools to connect with and monetize the community you have already built"

Like everyone says, if you really wanted to make money, you would just invest in an index fund.
Presuming you can afford a Tesla, the virtues of thriftiness and limiting the scope of your consumption will get you much further than "FSD".
Not sure the howls of pain at gas stations support your hypothesis.
Ah, I am not hating on it (nor do I know people doing it) it's just my observation that for grandmas Mint and Manjaro seem to work best in terms of least WTFs per hour.

I personally like Manjaro because I burned out on having to micro-manage Linux. Or I got spoiled by my iMac Pro, don't know. In any case I love the already working system I get. My home server is in Manjaro and I only ever had one problem with it (when SSH hard-deprecated several algorithms a few months ago). To me it's perfect because you (1) get a working system in just a few minutes of installation procedure and (2) you can then fine-tune as much as you want.

I am not hating on any other distros though. Linux and all of its distros are an acquired taste so hey, whatever tickles people's fancy, let them enjoy it. ^_^
It is, isn’t it. The article talks about “open source is communism” but not authoritarianism, real communism. Which made me daydream about if the various licenses for FOSS required profit making companies to pay 100$ per year for all you can eat FOSS. And then it got distributed on some usage based basis. Would things be better? Not practical though.
Rear view cameras are a required safety feature in the US now. As SUVs proliferated and pillars got thicker for crash safety cases of parents running over their toddlers increased.
I've been struck, or nearly struck by cars several times walking in a "designated area" both in uncontrolled and controlled intersections where I had the right of way. In almost all cases, the driver was either utterly oblivious (my favorite being the cop who was looking for vehicular traffic from the left, and accelerated into me while I was in a crosswalk on his right side) or I was plausibly hidden by their A-pillar.

That you place the lion's share of the blame on pedestrians is specious.
How is an "obligation" not the exact same thing as a "right", just from the other person's perspective?

Pleading: But, sir, you must fulfill your obligations.

Reply: I do not see the necessity of that.
Whether it's 50, 20, or 6, the real number is beside the point. Potential "years" of prison will scare the crap out almost anybody, and our government ALWAYS uses this tactic to coerce people into whatever outcome looks good for their careers.
The rearview camera is a big issue because it is a requirement under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Unless you're a skydiver by trade in an emergency situation and you fall back on what is familiar to you?

Let's say instead they did pull the chute immediately after bailing and then used the extra altitude to sail back to safety. Would you be more inclined to believe the stunt was real?
there is no need for such radical approach. With electric motor in the wheel instead of having a drive shaft, we can have regular wheels turning 90 degree and thus having car move even sideways.
The question then becomes if "decentralization" in the sense that blockchains provide them currently is worth this cost.
The improper road design you tangentially refer to is called a "stroad" and it's been discussed on HN before.[0] In short, highway speeds (like a road) but with numerous stops (like a street), and little to none of the predestrian-related benefits of a street (e.g. places to sit, walk, ride bicycles safely etc.).

Pretty standard as far as the quality of research I have read when it comes to exercise science.
Ah, right, image recognition for the boxes. But I don't think they would use it for moving the arm.

> And I would argue that whilst the machine learning way is pretty complex it's still simpler than 3d motion planning of moving robot platforms.

On what grounds do you think this? 3d motion planning isn't complex in these scenarios.

> And one machine learning solution can adapt to many robots with just retraining, without redoing the formulas from scratch.

You don't redo the formulas from scratch, you just plug in the specs of the robot and then you have it. Positioning and moving arm parts is a solved problem. Redoing machine learning for every arm seems much more cumbersome.
I very much disagree. I think the relationship is fairly obvious:

You may not be familiar with the history:

"The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust" -- SN (2009)

Literally why Bitcoin was invented. You can choose whatever you want to believe regarding reported inflation numbers. I tend to believe the metrics that show very high asset inflation in since 2009. And fact anything desirable seems to get cheaper in Bitcoin terms over time.

Why do you think cryptocurrencies are popular places with very high (reported) inflation, like Nigeria and Turkey?
The given syntax is obviously a no-go. It's already unary minus.
Exactly my thoughts. I kept thinking the interesting part is coming, but no, it’s just someone’s thoughts on a pre-alpha concept that nobody even pretends will ever become a reality.
Oh! This happened to me, and I thought I was just crazy sensitive or something, but it turns out to be an actual thing? After a few days on antibiotics for lyme, I walked to the shop to buy sunscreen. Spent maybe 20 minutes outside. Worst sunburn I've ever had.

Anything that can help prevent tick borne diseases is a win in my book. In Western Europe, in many cases that should probably include restoring wildlife habitats...
A truck with some mild modifications (a belt on the floor, for example) could probably queue a full load of boxes/contents to a reachable position for unloading. Stretch looks like it's got a pretty tall/long acquisition range.

Obviously wouldn't work OOTB, but definitely seems doable in some niche truck modifications (and likely little-to-no Stretch modifications).
It's funny, I think Yahoo has done this twice now: once with Tumblr and once with Delicious (although the chain of ownership for Delicious is much longer).
How much will the stock rise as a consequence of this?
A concept car is an exercise aimed at keeping your designers happy (might be cheaper and/or more effective than giving them a bonus at keeping them motivated in their job) and at, maybe, getting one or two good original and useful ideas.

The customizability in this concept is the over-the-top version of what Citroen offers for the new Ami, where about €60 will buy you a set of stickers (https://ma-belle-voiture.com/en/72-citroen-ami) (I also think the idea of having different ‘tops’ for a car isn’t new, but can’t find an example online)
The only NFT I’ve seen used an IPFS link, so I dug around a bit and it seems IPFS.io (whatever that is) honours the DMCA. That has me mad wondering, what kind of legal safeguards are in place for IPFS content?
> One of the problems is that if your target market is other devs, there is a knee jerk demand that your software should be foss and free (as in beer).

The problem with source-available COSS licenses like SSPLv1, BSLv1, Perimeter etc is that, it almost to the point of insulting developers who care about FOSS, wants to have its cake and eat it too: That is, the benefits of both, open and proprietary software. That's a hard sell, and it remains to be seen if they'd be as successful as FOSS for developer tools: http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2018/12/14/open-source-confronts... and https://steveklabnik.com/writing/the-culture-war-at-the-hear...

Another popular strategy is to open source just enough bits, but not all of it: Previously named "open-core", pioneered by Elastic (who have since moved to SSPLv1) and GitLab, but is now accepted as open-source, anyway. Tailscale falls in this category. https://www.heavybit.com/library/video/commercial-open-sourc...

> I hope that we'll see a move away from foss licensing to source available licenses over the next few years and an increased acceptance of this model in more areas.

Nouveau open source strategy is to have a strangle hold on the software itself (think Chrome / Android) by keeping the development tightly guarded along with the business interests of the original sponsor. Typically, these projects are open sourced to commodotise competitor's advantages (Symbian/Blackberry in the case of Android, IE in the case of Chrome): https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/

The traditional way of being in a F/OSS business was through associate services like deployments and consulting ala RedHat for Linux / Acquia for Drupal: http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2004/08/28/the-economics-of-soft...

Open source, in particular FOSS (free-as-in-beer), in itself is a business strategy (but not a business model) if one knows how to use it to their advantage (as the author points out, many startups doing so these days): https://a16z.com/2019/01/22/what-comes-after-open-source/
I find it’s age awkward too. The terminology used (kill, buffer, window, etc) don’t fit at all with modern desktop terminology. Keyboard navigation doesn’t fit any modern standard either (cut/paste,etc) aside from linux terminals which have inherited it from eMacs.

I’ve tried to (with some success) standardise keyboard shortcuts across my entire desktop (linux w/windows vms) but im forever in keyboard he’ll.

In addition, I have awkward performance in emacs - character movement triggers a buffer save which occurs in the main thread resulting in a pretty constant lag.

Am I the only one that likes the emacs concept, hates lisp, and hates eMacs to the point where I think it should be rewritten?
The market can work, but I think we've been going through a particular centuries-long period where the capital-intensive projects are most celebrated since they bring together the best of industrialization. However, there are crowdfunding platforms of various kinds now that let you sustainably finance small projects or build a marketing story that can be taken to a larger investor. When you get some proof, the funding spigot can flood in rather suddenly.

I agree that open-ended research still isn't very rewarded since it goes too far from immediate wants. But I also suspect we are going to get a quality bump on "small stuff" in the coming decades, because so many of our technologies were rushed to market as soon as they were mature enough, and that was a causal factor in major quality issues like buggy/insecure software. Those issues are not cap-intensive to fix, and could subsist on crowdfunding solutions, but they need awareness.

I see this all the time but then if you want to buy a new Tesla you have to wait a year. And that is due to demand.

The consumer reports reliability thing just seems like a meme at this point that doesn’t ring true for most people either in importance or reality. I can’t quite put my finger on why this meme is wrong but my intuition says it is.
What about bus? it's way bigger than CUV/SUV etc thereby more dangerous. According the premise in the article they have to be banned out right.
Blaming apple for this seems counterproductive. It’s Bluetooth that’s the problem. Why doesn’t NYT report on the security risks of Bluetooth but does report on useful tech like AirPods? I have a theory but it doesn’t paint the nyt in a very good light.
That's routinely done by automatic palletizers. Here's a standalone robotic palletizer for mixed pallets.[1]

Here's an entire automated distribution center.[2] This is more traditional automation. Pallets come in, are broken apart, and items put into storage. Then items are assembled to fill orders, and stacked on pallets. They even call it "automated Tetris". They try to stack the items to match a retail store's planogram, so the people doing shelf restocking usually have what they need next on top. Objects are lifted from the bottom, or sometimes grabbed from two sides, so they don't rely on super-strong cardboard.

The forklifts that empty and fill trucks with pallets are still human-driven in that system.
Automated forklifts do exist.[3] They're still rare, though.

All this gear seems to come from more advanced countries that don't have an underclass for cheap labor. New Zealand, Germany, the Scandinavian countries.

I seem to remember this about twenty years ago. Different company, but the same concept -- everything was in a "skateboard," with the main body being the batteries, each wheel had its own motor, and you could swap out compartments.
There’s a big difference between a maximum security prison and a minimum security camp. We probably share many opinions about the former, non-violent penny ante white boy offenders go to the latter.

“Bob’s Story:
“I was in the minimum security camp at Fairton for about nine months. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected prison to be. The place was clean, the food wasn’t bad, and I didn’t feel any tension between the guys. If I wanted to avoid someone, I could stay to myself.
“There were fewer than 100 guys serving sentences in the federal prison camp and I didn’t feel much in the way of harassment from anyone, staff or inmates. With the help of an orderly, I coordinated a prison job for myself in the library. It was just a small room with lots of books and I passed my days catching up on reading. I hadn’t read at all since I was in college because work kept me too busy. During the time I was at the camp I read about 30 great books and I lost 25 pounds. I’m back down to the same weight I was when I was in school and I feel better than ever. My wife loves the new look. She says the prison sentence probably gave me an extra ten years to live.”

Remember, maximum security is expensive.
Agree. I'd much prefer they worked on the way MySQL determines what indexes to use on a multi-table join, so there could be less emphasis on the need to ANALYZE TABLE and FORCE INDEX when the DB is seemingly being dumb, but there's not enough information in EXPLAIN to tell you where it's actually getting tripped up. Troubleshooting full table scans on large sets of data is a nightmare.
Because there is an upper bound for most candidates, and there most certainly is a lower bound if the company means to hire fairly to employees. But as others pointed out, most companies do not have an unlimited upper bound. Additionally, companies do not want all senior level superstars, they almost always want the balance of levels. So be honest with those listings!

> Especially with a well known company like YC, it seems like they would have a solid lower bound so there's no need to list it.

That sounds like a great way to exploit the subset of candidates that don't know the unspoken rules of the valley. And given the variance of companies in YC, I don't think there is a known lower bound for every company.
I’m with you on most of your points, but do we know it was negligent? Isn’t it normal to wait for an investigation before jumping to conclusions?

I think the vessel owner and crew are getting an unfair wrap because of money. If it’s true this is good news, as someone can pay for the cleanup.
