I share the view that Google SERPS have dropped in quality the last 5-7 years. Of great annoyance to me is the amateurish way that a search results page will find relevant Twitter results but then clicking on the results takes you to the root page of the Twitter user and not the result. Since many Twitterers are prolific posters, it can be very time-consuming or even impossible to find the result listed. Thankfully Inoreader takes me to the exact Twitter result.
I think the division is merely into people who know about British history and people who don't.

We had a civil war which ended when we chopped our king's head off and replaced the government. That has to count as a "revolutionary moment" or the phrase has no meaning.
You asked how the red pill was like estrogen pills. I don't think the Wachowskis said that part was intended though.

Trans people noticed the parallels. I don't think they intended everyone would. They wanted to do more with it too. Switch's Matrix form was supposed to be male.
I suppose I should have clarified that I was asking about the system that currently exists :)
Testing masks is very specialized and all in I've spent about $250k on the mask lab. I just bought a new machine that costs about $90k. Here's an overview of the machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpjajJrDWBk
amen. thank you. unfortunately similar challenges exist in industry enterprise environments. small companies can be immune from it.
If you think that humans make terrible things to animals, you should check what they do to other humans. There are "beautiful, human" stories about a certain Dr. Mengele, or Unit 731 or Guantanamo...
That's a really neat project, but it's using a different state law than the one in the article; the project there is using density bonuses, but does not have unlimited density.

However, if San Francisco does not submit a valid Housing Element by the end of the year, then unlimited density could potentially be available on any lot in the city.

The fact that you think you can just run whatever code not written by you on your servers is insane. The fact that you think protest should be able to be ignored is insane. The whole point of protest is disruption.
There's a good case to be made that modern evangelical views on the afterlife aren't even based on the NT.

Annihilationism (cessation of existence, "the second death", "fear him who can destroy body and soul", etc) is much closer to what's in the NT than the widely-accepted Infernalism (eternal torture in hell).

That's how it reads to me, anyway, after decades of reading the Bible.
More like "Quantum version of Euler’s 243-Year-Old ‘Impossible’ Puzzle Gets a Solution". This is like saying "30 year old proof of the minimum number of moves to solve a Rubik's Cube gets broken by putting multiple colors on each cubelet face"

For me I stopped using Signal when they started permanently storing sensitive user data in the cloud, they were extremely unclear about doing it confusing many of their users, they ignored the objections and security concerns of their users who realized what they were doing and they never updated their privacy policy to reflect that information (and still haven't). For an app that insists that you be able to trust it, they just did not come off as remotely trustworthy.
But believing in something doesn't make it true.
I don’t know but if it is like my cat who is free to come and go, I don’t see the problem. That’s not really different from the human life.
He had two things: (1) the right to make and publish a change to a project he controlled and (2) a mechanism (npm and its ecosystems versioning practices) to have his changes run on thousands of machines. Making changes via (1) is not an attack. Leveraging (2) to cause ‘damage’ is without question an attack, even if the damage is just burned CI minutes and even if the victims’ comically poor practices bear some (most) of the responsibility.
I'm guessing it's why they started collecting and keeping user data
"Wasted" is a value judgement. Miners put the effort in to procure the energy and then choose to spend it on hashes. It is by definition not wasted.

You know Christmas lights in the USA use up more energy than the Bitcoin network does for the same period? Is that "wasted"? Ultimately that's up to the spenders of that energy to decide.
Because of course people wearing vented masks wear them whenever they are near another human. It’s not like they have family or friends they spend time with maskless.
Ah! You caught a mistake. Thank you it's fixed.

China and Taiwan are separate (they make very different masks) but I haven't been able to find any from Taiwan to test.
I do not agree
I get the feeling! I wish I could guess your age - I remember feeling the same years ago when everything, it seemed, started moving to web. Totally ignored the frontend movement because of it.

I think it’s the coming of age - next generation is taking the helm. As you get older you starting thinking the best is in the past - each generation does it with them “good old days” feelings.

I’ll leave you with my fav. quote when I encounter such duality…

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” ~Charles Dickens
Let’s just first take care of our own, shall we? Band together as humans caring for humans, and then perhaps the pigs?

Ask HN: Anyone with experience setting up a 501(3)(c) charitable organization?
Hackernews is my go to community site, I have no idea if this will work, but let's hope the HN magic does its work.

I've been volunteering at a small team that organize programs and activities and we are partially funded through a well-established foundation. We want to have more autonomy in how we do things and scale things a bit, thus we are exploring how to set up a 501(3)(c) organization.

It's been dificult keep things running as everyone on the team either has a job or a degree to persuit. The funding we get right now is only for the program and does not allow us to employee anyone, they are our backer, but they are not our fiscal sponsor, their policy does not allow that, we don't have other organization we know that would sponsor us and we'd like to be able to receive donations and employee people on our own, hence registering as a 501(3)(c) seems to be the only viable way.

I know YC accepts non-profit into their program, but we do not think we fit the bill, we are pretty small, we do not provide service and turn it into revenue, we just organize things, and hopefully we might be able to do more we reached a bigger capacity.

Thank you for reading this!
You don't have to wait till that lib updates. You update version yourself and overwrite it.

Second, log4j is bad examples. Libraries don't pin that at all and people report bug is they do. Libraries are supposed to depend on logging api in general and end project decides whether use log4j or slfj.
Yes. Look for masks with a double nose wire. We make one and many find it does not fog their glasses... but there are plenty of others that make them too.
What genre of game did you want to build, out of curiosity?
Useless? It still tells me that the US-made masks I bought from a reputable manufacturer aren't up to spec.

Eliminating the ones that fail regardless of fit is extremely helpful.
Not to mention AT&T paid through the nose for this exclusivity.
Ahhh... good point. The search will work but you are correct that the full version is better on desktop.
Why should NPM even do anything? If someone decides they want to publish a 'disfuntional' version than it's the role of devs to use the older version and check before updating.

NPM is just a glorified file sharing services, as it should be for JS packages, that features an associated manifest format. They should be able to transfer rights, as far as licenses allo and is reasonable, but that's about it.
Capitalism Set the Fires in the Amazon Rainforest (2019)
You could start by adjusting your given filtration ratios by predictable leakage based on the type of mask. It's wholly misleading to rate the filtration potential of an earloop mask as equivalent to that of a 3M Aura.
To first paragraph, no. Male employment going in did not lowered domestic violence. Only female.

Male employment going down compared to female did lowered it. Simply, if that person materially depends on another, he (or she tbh) is less likely to be abusive or violent ton the source of money.

Statistically, poor people divorce more often. Middle class and rich people have more stable marriages, actually.

Poor and lower class women still leave relationships. Both partners then go to live with parents, friend or to even worst housing.

I tried hard to think of a good answer, but I’ll be honest: I haven’t tried VLC in 15 years. My vague recollection of it was that I didn’t care for the widgets, it wasn’t as responsive as the native, preinstalled and extensible video player I already had (meaning it didn’t open and play files as immediately as I was already used to) and that it had too much window chrome for the simple task of playing back one video or sound file.

So for all I know, 15 years later VLC might actually be the best media playback player on the Macintosh and I’m just too set in my ways to realize that because I went basically straight from QuickTime 7 to QuickTime X to IINA and IINA was already such a solid upgrade that I’m not looking for another replacement.
Interesting, it seems somewhat fixed now.

Initially, I was seeing the sort return 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200.. so sorting by the first numeral instead of the number. But now it seems to be sorting ok-ish except if you jump to the bottom and the row for "Staples / Beixikang Face Mask" shows a % symbol for some reason. So possibly some data entry issues.

Below the Beixikang, there are then about 12 entries in 80-168 range so the entry for the Beixikang may be throwing the sort off.
No one [in the west] cares about the [lack of consumption] of places like the Gaza Strip, Central African Republic, Chad, and so on. A headline referring to the consumption of Gaza or CAR would be rather obtuse with how little people know about the difficulties of either countries/areas. CAR being in perpetual civil war, Gaza being a land locked ghetto.

Palestine and CAR roughly use a bit more than a combined 200 Gigawatt hours/year. That’s low double digits kilowatt hours/yer/person.

For some context, the US uses 5 megawatt hours/year/person. That’s under 50K average electricity usage per year per person outdoing both countries with a combined population closing in on 150x. Obviously this is oversimplifying things but outdoing energy, carbon emissions, what have you, of a number of countries wouldn’t be difficult.
I'm not sure if we are "permitting" anything, but I don't think it would be a bad thing if mathematicians and researchers in quantum computing explored the implications of this field with regards to previously stated problems.[0] Is there a particular justification you suggest a paper in math should have before exploring a problem besides that it's interesting?

Exactly. We can't tell you how it will fit on your face but can tell you if the fabric fails.

You need both filtration AND fit to make a good mask.
That will give you coffee effects, not caffeine effects. Coffee contains a LOT of monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

The review for this mask is a great example of the games on Amazon. The review claims this product is from a well known vendor of counterfeit items. The big claim on this product is that the required printing is not on the mask, so they just write it off then and there. However, clicking the link to the item, the required text is prominitely visible in the image. Somewhere along the way, the vendor must have been made aware of the negative reviews (not on Amazon though), and tried to up their counterfeit game.

Daily, I see more and more reasons to never use Amazon for anything. Luckily, I made that decision years ago, and just constantly am amazed at how it gets even more blatant.
I don't get such high-matter maths as 'quantum maths' at all.

This all sounds like some bullshit.

What was the solution?

> Critically, the quantum states that compose these officers have a special relationship called entanglement, which involves a correlation between different entities. If a red king is entangled with an orange queen, for instance, then even if the king and queen are both in superpositions of multiple regiments, observing that the king is red tells you immediately that the queen is orange.

Okay.

> The theory seemed to work, but to prove it, the authors had to construct a 6-by-6 array filled with quantum officers.
...
> When the researchers repeated the algorithm over and over, the puzzle array cycled closer and closer to being a true solution. Eventually, the researchers reached a point where they could see the pattern and fill in the few remaining entries by hand.

So what is the goddamn solution???

There isn't one, cause that's all bullshit and they didn't solve anything. I can claim I solved all the proved unsolvable math problems that way (I just superpositioned everything quantumly so everything has a solution).

Grant money well wasted.
I think a more accurate phrasing is that we're "designed" by natural section to _optionally_ eat meat. Large numbers of people like many Hindus, Mahayana Buddhists, and now vegans don't eat meat and can live healthily. By the way, most meat-eaters utilise fire when processing the meat - something that was invented - rather similarly to how Vitamin B12 supplements have been invented and now help vegans.

Re. empathy - I very much doubt it's to our detriment when one of the main threats to our survival is lack of empathy leading to extinction-causing wars - something that may have already destroyed previous intelligent civilisations around the universe. Even with medical experiments on animals - if they were much reduced I think this would likely lead to more effort & subsequent innovations in replacement technologies like cell cultures & simulations - which could lead to faster medical breakthroughs than if we continue on the current animal-testing business-as-usual trajectory.
That developers don't have live access is dictated by industry rules in some cases.

Not a problem but rather a fact of life.
I think for "stablecoins are far more dangerous" you mean stablecoins backed by same amount of currency/fiat/asset?

For example UST stablecoin from Terra maintains the price in another way.

I don't know why these products are still around. They are already basically useless; from T-Mobile's site:

> If we are permitting this (headline style) to be called a "quantum solution" (to a non quantum problem), should we expect and brace for a torrent of "quantum solutions" to previously impossible problems? Are these meaningful?

The paper does something meaningful with its solution - it constructs an "impossible" error-correcting code that you can use if you have a quantum channel. That's not really practical to use yet, but one could imagine one day e.g. sending messages through space slightly more efficiently.
If my T410 didn’t have that crappy screen I would still be using it. Felt very solid compared to latest models.
You're 10 years in but with revenue of $1m. You're surprised YC didn't give you $125k through 10 years of illiquidity for that? YC-funded Amplitude is 10 years old with $150m in revenue.

> I guess the stuff we’re building (open source, decentralized social platforms) just isn’t exciting for VC

Elasticsearch, MongoDb, Gitlab, HashiCorp, etc, etc. Wrong. Plenty of open source has VC funding, you just have very few github stars and a couple devs.

> prefer we focus on one application

Yes that seems to help with...

> getting a hockey stick

Which is what a VC funded business is trying to do.

But unfortunately, rather than introspect deeper, you end up blaming

Exactly the opposite. There are a lot stronger psychoactives in coffee than caffeine is, and some of them are neurotoxic.

My ears are tuned to the distinct sound of B-17 engines, and I love it when they come trundling by, usually at low altitude. Last summer an Eagle cruised by, at an altitude of about 6 feet. I could have reached out and brushed its wing as it went by, but I was frozen in awe. I'm under the landing pattern for Seatac, and enjoy the heavies floating by overhead.

I like living in Seattle with all the aircraft around!

Use a free os and maybe older cpu if the paranoia goes that way. Turn off javascript and the client side of websites will remain yours.

The other direction is to stop caring or at least rationalize why most of your worries are unfounded (like who cares what kinds of kitten pictures I'm interested in?).
Thanks!

Yes we are adding those notes now... most of the KN95 fails are the incorrect markings on the mask. To pass the GB2626-2019 standard (where the KN95 lives) you have to put the manufacture name, standard name (eg, "GB2626-2019"), and mask type (eg, "KN95"). About 90% of "KN95s" on amazon are fake because they do not include this... I image because the manufacturers are just trying to make a quick buck and didn't ever read the 57 page standard.

If a KF94 fails it is usually because it's not made in South Korea where all official KF94s are made.
‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas into a different Omelas with a lot more suffering children’
I'm currently in the W22 batch. There's some heavy skepticism in this thread, so I want to add perspective from someone actually in the current batch (throwaway because we haven't announced our funding yet).

The additional $375k (+$125k OG deal = $500k) that YC is offering is an optional and uncapped SAFE. I think of this as YC being an investor in our next round, except I can receive and deploy the cash now with no premium paid to YC. This is extremely founder friendly, and is in addition to what YC had already agreed to invest in us. The terms on this SAFE are much better than what I could have negotiated on my own, and it comes with zero fundraising effort.

Because of this, I'm able to go into pitch meetings with investors around demo day in March with more leverage – I no longer need capital from them to keep the company moving in the short term. I can also make capital intensive moves I otherwise would have waited to do.

As to whether YC is a value add for us with the dilution it incurs: yes, absolutely. The valuation cap we're raising at has doubled, we have access to a great network of people and companies (this has a real and significant effect), and we were able to convince someone with the YC funding to leave their stable and well paying job to join us.

This is all in the context of a US based developer tools startup that already has a top-tier university signal (Stanford), co-founders with FAANG offers on the table, and a co-founder with years of experience working (but not as a founder) at two startups that were acquired.

I'm sure some others have better fundraising opportunities, but there is a reason many founders like myself still choose to go through YC.
For a simple example with services, I manage six services that are all interconnected, but serve different groups and use cases for the company. And each time i switch the service i'm working on, it's almost like i'm putting on a different mental hat. Sure, we technically can have them in one single monolith, but i find that short mental barrier between services, even without lots of teams and developers, to be helpful.
> If credit was really as cheap and widely available/accessible as it is often claimed to be, then why have annual small business loan originations still not recovered and reached levels seen in the early 2000s?

The fact that the cohort of people that would be taking on these business loans today are already strapped with 6 figures of college debt might have something to do with it
JetBrains is great. I fully subscribed with them for years until I switch to vscode. I found myself less dependent on the intelligence features these days. And I use 10+ languages daily and 20+ different languages monthly. Really looking for one for all.
