benchtop NMR doesn't solve this problem, it's not powerful enough.

If you had improvements to NMR they would actually go first to other things than doing chemical analysis of anarchist drug batches. IE there are other industries that will buy all your machines if they existed.

The real question is why would you EVER use NMR for just about anything? It's really high cost and the total value of the data is lower than just about any other technique. It really only makes sense in research situations.
sir that is a huge pile of nonsense

it entirely matters if it's a private company. this isn't 1995. there is no regulation anymore. you can't compel anyone to transmit whatever hate speech people deem "Free".

so, they are already expected to "violate the integrity of the communications" they handle (whatever that means).

Linux virtual machine (via Vagrant, for instance) and inside I run docker.
When I was a kid, cordless phones (not cell phones, but landline phones) were all the rage, and one Christmas I got some nice walkie talkies from Radio Shack. We quickly discovered that we could hear phone conversations from at least one house, that we always assumed were from those cordless phones.

Anyway, that's what this story reminded me of. I've had similar things happen a few times in my life.

As corrupt and captured as the SEC is, even they wouldn't let that kind of thing fly.
Push notifications have a cost too, now you need the server to maintain state of all clients and notify them on changes. This has huge implications at scale, especially if it's extremely cheap or easy for new clients to spin up. Think about every single browser tab now requiring a server to maintain some state on the backend--that's a nightmare with billions and billions of users and tabs. Pull-based architectures have the nice effect that less popular content has almost no cost to continue serving and just falls into the background forever.
I think they will still be clicking with their noses in that case. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think. “Oh hey that interesting/cool <click>”. Or “hey how did they know I needed this?”
Mirror.xyz currently renders HTML from its Arweave backend, but not RSS, which is a bit disappointing, as there are a few Mirror blogs I'd love to have in my news reader. If it's capable of rendering HTML, RSS should be just a few lines of code away, but I can't find any repository for the frontend to try and implement it myself. More disappointing is the overall reactions to this comment including totally unhelpful comments that are basically just "OMG GTFO" and likely violating HN guidelines.

Ask HN: Do all phones have access to Latin/Roman chars?
Just curious how ubiquitous access to the letters a-z are on phones around the world for an authentication system I am working on.

Can an android user with a thai or vietnamese keyboard easily access a-z?
The upside is a choice of keyboard (if Bluetooth and not proprietary) and removes an avenue of repair costs. This and we all know that keyboards are like magnets to liquids and snack crumbs (even if you don't eat snacks).

An 80MHz desktop NMR in 2022 is hilarious. This owuld be great to put in a research lab or to teach students, but it's not something that could be used in a high volume, high quality pharma testing situation.

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins is great.

Or something by Jared Diamond, e.g. The Third Chimpanzee.
I do think that limiting yourself to 1 day, 1 week, 1 month horizons is... limiting. Making predictions on that horizon is essentially predicting events (earnings, mergers etc.) and market dynamics. For example, I've worked at a public company who I knew was in trouble from an engineering perspective. I left, over the 3 years before, and 3 years after I left, the stock performed very well. So in terms of stock market predictions, it's not about knowing he underlying performance of the business. It also lends itself to letting Cramer market his own homework - did the stock go up due to his influence for example? Could be the case for smaller cap stocks, and particularly over a 1 day horizon.

It's also rather comical that he's right a little over 50% of the time when making a positive prediction and a little less than 50% of the time when making a negative. Or to put it another way, the stock market goes up -so when you predict it goes up, you're generally right.
Most of the tools have been around for quite some time (on the web tech timescale, at least), and they've each evolved and improved as they've been battle-tested. For example, React is pretty state-of-the-art as it has changed (improved) significantly over the years, while still being used in production everywhere.
YMMV. From what I hear from my Googler friends, It's all about the team/manager/project you land.

Usually a good manager can spot pitfall projects from a mile away and put you on a good path to a promotion. But only being good is not enough, you have to work on the right projects, have the right results and the right visibility. If those variables are not there you may go through a downward spiral that ends up in a PIP.
I'd like to be able to discuss ideas on their merits instead of being confronted with factional applause lights like "anti-vax".
The MacBook-iPad integration for external display use is really quite nice. I don't use it that much right now because I've got a nice extra wide screen monitor next to my laptop stand for when I'm at home and I'm always at home, but I used to, when I would be working at the library in the olden days and it was nice to have an extra screen from time to time.
Ah okay. Fair enough, I could see how the keyboard is very polarizing. I’m tempted to pick up an old thinkpad with how much people rave about them..
reason: you want to route application traffic through a local daemon but the computing device will not allow you to access /etc/hosts or run a firewall like iptables/nftables/pf

One way to redirect application traffic to a local daemon, e.g., something like sslsplit or stunnel, is using firewall rules. Another way is to use DNS.

Running DNS for oneself with a custom root.zone allows one to redirect traffic, for example, to a loopback address where the daemon is listening. The DNS server can run locally on a loopback or private address (for use while at home/office), or remotely on a public address (for use when travelling).

For example, I use a local proxy server instead of remote DNS lookups. When I visit example.com, there is a local DNS lookup to a local DNS server listening on the loopback. No DNS packets leave the computer. The local DNS server returns the loopback address of the proxy. The proxy, which has the remote address of example.com stored in memory, then accesses example.com.

gwern posted his rss feed which i think it is very interesting.

it includes a lot of rss links and they are all divided by category.

reason: You want to use dynamic wildcard SSL certificates via Letsencrypt. Because they need to be validated via DNS.

reason: You want to use anycast (rent cheap VPS servers that support BGP)

The anycast managed services that exist will takes days to sync all servers, thus you can't use DNS validation with Letsencrypt. Solution: Run your own Anycast ...

That said, anycast is overkill, because DNS has caching built in to it's protocol, if the user has looked up your IP once, it will be cached on the user machine next time he/she looks it up. And if you have a fairly popular domain, it will also be cached at the ISP or whatever DNS resolver the user has.
The Internet is not much older; it is reasonable to say that the Internet started in 1982 when TCP/IP was first standardized, though some would say that the Internet started a few years later with the creation of NSFNet and its interconnection with other networks.
The design decisions of the Python language (arbitrary length integers for example) lead Python to just be SLOW. It's much slower than Perl.

Don't believe me? Look at how numbers are stored: https://rushter.com/blog/python-integer-implementation/

But it doesn't really matter. Computers increase in speed over time. Libraries allow speed sensitive sections to use more sane data types. As you pointed out, the Perl language's design decisions cause much worse problems -- hard to identify bugs.

It's really no different than email lists, medium, substack, etc. which are all working through ways of effectively monetizing themselves.

Isn't that just going to bid up the prices for everything else?

Historically, subsidising electricity has worked fairly efficiently, because it wasn't possible to effectively store and re-sell or export it.
Would "give poor people electricity credits (denominated in the currency) which can be redeemed by the electrical companies (and not anyone else) for actual money" be viable and help avoid the corrupt admins siphoning the money?

Just to frame all this a bit better: in Italy epipens cost… wait for it… ZERO - nil - nada.
You have a diagnose of anaphylactic shock risk? You get epipens. Public healthcare pays for it, therefore everyone pays for it with their taxes.
Without a prescription, you can get one for around 75€, which is already considered criminally expensive.

This is true for thousands other products. So please now tell me again how r&d and other costs justify the US prices for the same drugs that are sold profitably Yet way cheaper in other western markets.
Any death where covid contributed. So, no train wrecks, but death from pneumonia-while-covid is counted as death by covid.

Coronavirus disease deaths are identified using the ICD–10 code U07.1. Deaths are coded to U07.1 when coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 are reported as a cause that contributed to death on the death certificate.

I've had this realization at every company I've worked for, big or small. Not sure why I'm still surprised by it:

"The most surprising thing I encountered when joining was how manual the vast majority of processes are. It blew my mind how many business critical processes were managed with excel spreadsheets being shared via email chains. It is incredible how flexible and effective Excel is for such a wide variety of use-cases."
Wordpress does support both. You can make a blog on wordpress.com right now and you get both standards activated by default in the RSS feed. That takes care of half the web ;) (well, it would if it's also true for standalone Wordpress installations, which I don't know). And all relevant readers support at least PuSH. This is really not a standard problem, and I doubt the concept itself is part of the adoption problem.

No, not having a way to subscribe when stumbling over an RSS feed was the main problem in my eyes, and the existence of a feed not being highlighted in browsers anymore. Firefox dropping support was not only an act of treason against the free web, it was also very effective in making it very hard for new users to understand how to use RSS. Not that chrome is any better. Here lies the problem, and that's where it could be solved.

Add into browsers an icon when a site has an RSS feed, and let that point to a foundation managed site that points to RSS readers, where users can select their favorite. I'm 100% certain that would have a huge effect on adoption numbers.

As this comment thread shows very well RSS is not dead at all, but it's not in the mass market right now and that could be changed easily enough.

> I do not.

I understand that there's some people who are thriving and happy wearing masks, but that's certainly not everybody. As for many people like me, they are not worth wearing. Masks are psychologically damaging and dehumanizing in many ways. Already imperfect human communication is further harmed with masks. They are unnatural and damaging. And outside of wearing an N95 perfectly in one room for one task, I believe that the way they're used in practice is harmful to health (people are constantly adjusting and touching them, not washing them for ages between uses, etc)

> Maybe. If the tables are spaced far apart and preferably outside. Packed in an enclosed space? No.

If we can acknowledge that a rule doesn't make sense for health and safety in a certain context, then why follow it?

> Don't like the rules, go somewhere else.

There are plenty of people who would gladly do this but cannot when the rule is in place by Government edict.

> Similarly, businesses can refuse service.

I'm all for property owners deciding the rules on their property, but that's not exactly the system that's been built up and that authoritarians advocate for.

> We are not toddlers. Not supposed to be, anyway.

Toddlers don't have the capacity to fully understand their world and make rational risk-management decisions.

Toddlers are the ones who are expected to comply with what they're told.

I'd say that people who are using their own judgement are the opposite of toddlers here.
Interesting. I have had to compile drivers for every Linux install I've done in the past three years. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, elementaryOS, Pop!_OS, etc. Maybe we can all accept that people have different experiences?

And of course, you're under no obligation to listen to any of us whine, but if, on the off chance, you happen to want more people to like Linux, it seems like taking people's experiences seriously would be a good starting point.
Anecdote from when I was working at Plaid on a special product for the Payroll Protection Program, but the engineers @ Justworks burnt the midnight oil to get an MVP that let businesses verify their payroll eligibility with us. Unfortunately didn't get approved in time before the PPP funds to run out, but the team was great! Grats on the IPO :)

> I never used coding for interviews at Google

Can you explain? AFAIK Google has a set criteria for engineering interviews. 2-3 coding, 1 design, 1 something else. AFAIK if you get asked to do a coding interview you have to ask coding questions. The people who review your interview would not find it acceptable to not do it.

I once had a drunk person ringing my doorbell when I lived near downtown. It wasn't an emergency so I called 311. The person listened to what I had to say, said hold on and transferred me. The next person I spoke to said, "911 operator, what's your emergency?"
> Actually the original point was about policing policy in London, where the article in question is set.

Apologies, I meant my original point, in responding to you here:

> Never been to london I take it. Its always funny when Americans comment on the rest of the world, maintaining the illusion with all their exceptional talent that they could, if needed, point to their own country on a map let alone find any other.

Apologies for not specifying; I rather thought the context would do the job for me! Relatedly:

> A city where ~30% of the population were not born in the country and >40% are from ethnic minorities. Hardly culturally homogenous.

Again (and for the final time), nobody is arguing that London is not a melting pot.

_My_ point -- as you keep repeatedly underlining on my behalf -- is that outsiders often try to compare the diversity present in the US with the diversity present in a singular city or region of their own home country, without understanding the degree to which the difference in scale, density, and spread serve to create a wholly different experience.

Hope that resolves any confusion!
I've measured a drain of ~0.9% per hour on mine when the lid is closed (deep sleep, not hibernating) and I've only USB-C expansion cards slotted in (or no cards at all). When I've two USB-C cards and and 2 USB-A cards it goes up to ~2%/hr. So your large drain might (~3%/hr) might be mostly from whichever cards you've got in.
Arguments like "clearly fail to control the spread" are low effort Gish Gallops that need to be treated as such.

Publicly slugging it out in the weeds grants an optical stalemate to an argument that deserves to lose. Do this a million times in a row and you can launch an entire contrarian movement off vapors -- which is exactly what we have seen.
> how do we know the zircon fragments aren't from a meteor that is much older?

Radiometric dating tells you when the sample you are dating last solidified. Of course the atoms in the sample themselves existed before that, but that doesn't matter for radiometric dating since what is being measured is not the age of the atoms but the time the sample, the piece of rock you're analyzing, last solidified.

> Surely all the fragments came from approximately the same area, yes?

Um, yes, since the Apollo 14 astronauts only collected samples from a very small area.

> nah, these knowledgeable astronomers must have already thought of all this stuff.

Yes, in fact, they have, plus a lot more things that haven't even occurred to you.
Can be anywhere from 1 minute to hours, depends on the problem. The whole classification thing is kind of ridiculous, because some hard problems are easy and some mediums are hard.
RSS is alive and well. I use it daily and I can't even keep up with the feeds I subscribe to (hundreds). In recent years, it has mostly replaced Twitter for me.

I think what the author really means is "I wish I could read tweets as RSS." And the answer to that is that there are several different third party ways of doing so, if you wish.

as other's pointed out, RSS is still here if you want to use it. It's just not ubiquitous as it once was.

IMO the big thing that killed RSS ubiquity was Google Chrome not having support for it natively. Before that, Firefox, Opera, Safari all had RSS as well-supported, central thing and I remember finding it super annoying that Chrome didn't have it when it launched. But I kept using Chrome for the same reasons everyone else started switching to Chrome. And the RSS extensions all sucked. And eventually I stopped using them. And here I am, no longer reading RSS.

But as Chrome ate up browser share, I'm sure fewer people went to RSS because it wasn't natively there and so the incentives to implement RSS decreased as fewer people expected it to be there, especially as many more people were coming online only having used Chrome.

Oddly enough, I switched back to Firefox years ago and _could_ get back into RSS at any point (or with any number of RSS reader apps, etc.), but the habit has stuck, and I now stay up-to-date on everything via email newsletters, Twitter and this orange website instead. it's worse and I hate it, but oh well
Ask HN: Have you ever enjoyed a backlog grooming meeting?
This type of thing may go by different names, but I'm talking about the sort of regular meeting where engineers and perhaps product folks discuss a list of possible work items individually to clarify, prioritize, and estimate effort.

I've often found it hard to keep these meetings engaging, so I'm curious if folks have tips for running them. What has worked for your teams? What should be avoided?
how can you be 'latest' and 'battle-tested' at the same time?
Per the City of Houston [0]: "Dial (713) 884-3131 to request non-emergency police service for locations within the city limits of Houston."

For what it's worth, Click2Houston is widely known for ad-ridden clickbait masquerading as news. They used to be good, but now they just suck.

Also, calling 911 in Houston really sucks. Good luck getting a response within 30 minutes unless it's active gun related (and even then, I've personally waited nearly an hour after reporting gunshots in my neighborhood). Not the cops fault - they're generally ok, but the city management is poor.
