I fried up some of the teeny, tiny roots, and they tasted nice, but were so tiny that harvesting enough for more than a garnish would be impractical.

The cough syrup made from the leaves is my favorite - soothing, but no other medicinal effects, and I find the taste to be a bit comforting. “Spitzwegerich Hustensaft” is the general thing to look for in German.
What you originally said was:

When you see people walking around outside wearing masks, know that they have bought into a foolish lie completely removed from any form of science.

Now you've shifted to:

it's not a bias if I see people wearing mask outdoors in completely mild weather and assume it's for the virus.

Which is much more reasonable. You've qualified it to particular situations rather than a blanket "outdoors", and then said you assume rather than you know.

Other possible explanations people wear masks outdoors other than being gullible fools:

- they forgot to take it off. That happens to me sometimes when I'm deep in thought.

- they have a cold sore and want to hide that.

- they came from indoors and their hands are full so they can't take it off.

- they came from indoors and are going indoors into another building.

etc.

Did you ever consider any of these alternatives? Or actually, have you asked any of these people why they wear a mask outdoors?
Participant needs a better definition. I'd think block chain requires trusting every participant.

The private key must always be trusted for what the person behind it intends for it to do
> Moxie seems to insist that the only way to build a successful service is using telephone numbers, but clearly that is false as the world's largest unencrypted messengers--which should be the enemy, NOT WhatsApp!!!!!!!!--do not use phone numbers as identifiers and allow users to hide them even if they are collected.

I don't think Moxie insists on this. I remember reading this on the Signal blog[0] a few years ago:

> Social apps need a social network, and Signal’s is built on the phone numbers that are stored in your device’s address book. The address book on your device is in some ways a threat to the traditional social graphs controlled by companies like Facebook, since it is user-owned, portable, and accessible to any app you approve. For Signal, that has meant that we can leverage and contribute to a user-owned portable network without having to force users to build a new closed one from scratch.

> However, many Signal users would also like to be able to communicate without revealing their phone numbers, in part because these identifiers are so portable that they enable a user’s conversation partner to contact them through other channels in cases where that might be less desirable. One challenge has been that if we added support for something like usernames in Signal, those usernames wouldn’t get saved in your phone’s address book. Thus if you reinstalled Signal or got a new device, you would lose your entire social graph, because it’s not saved anywhere else.

> Other messaging apps solve this by storing a plaintext copy of your address book, social graph, and conversation frequency on their servers. That way your phone can get run over by a car without flattening your social graph in those apps, but it comes at a high privacy price.

What does postgres do differently here to still have good performance?
I'm excited to see what we learn about the earliest days of the universe since it can observe highly red-shifted objects.
Even earlier than galaxies, we'll be able to see some of the first stars that existed before galaxies formed.

IIRC the telescope will be able to see "back" into 98% of the observable universe.
Great way to charge new car prices for old cars. This will become normal.
I almost gave up using it due to the year picker. If I can see the year I should be able to click it, but on this one you actually have to scroll down until it is no longer faded at all.

I think it's one of the greatest engineering results ever, a 6 meter infrared telescope 1 million km away, just wow!
I made the same mistake; they're both roughly exponential, and the maximum value is different by pretty much exactly one factor of ten.
It will take another 6 months before JWST will go into operation it seems. This page has a list of approved programs.

I don’t recommend Signal either due to the lack of encrypted backup/restore. I don’t understand the prioritization of other features over that one.
My first manager would call these “health days”, and they were always supported. He would declare random “sun” days, when it was an especially nice New England day.
I've never heard use of the word "oblivious", but my education is 15 years old at this point.
DynamoDB runs the partition key through a hash function, so sequential values end up being evenly distributed across partitions.
> Most people try quitting their addiction by banning themselves from doing it.

After some failed attempts I quit smoking 7 months a go and this change in the way of thinking made the difference for me. During the failed attempts I used to repeat to myself "I can't smoke", this last time my thought was more like "I don't want to smoke", I didn't even tell to my wife that I was trying to quit so that I would fell less the pressure of being forbidden to smoke. Somehow it worked better for me and whenever I had cravings my thoughts were usually something like "I could smoke if I wanted to, I'm 5 minutes away from a pack of cigarets, but I don't want."

I'm not saying that this was the only factor that made me stop or this is the "secret to quit smoking" or that's easy, it just worked better for me.

SF's Millennium Tower Now Tilting 3 Inches per Year, According to Fix Engineer
I pay about 900€/year for my Mercedes and a Model S would've been something ridiculous like 1800€/year.
Yes, but replacing rotors and brake pads is the work of minutes on most modern cars.

Bodywork can easily make a car a write off, especially if exotic materials (aluminum, carbon, composites) are used.
Do any states that allow bent frame repair without a salvage title? It's been a while, but back when I was buying cars at wholesale auctions, it was a big deal when one slipped through with a bent frame without a salvage title. They reversed auctions all the time, including one truck we purchased.
Not really, the incumbent US manufacturers have too much invested in traditional manufacturing techniques to switch over. The new Chinese automakers are the ones that will be implementing it next.
God save the internet, and its fascist regime!
I disagree. Security and privacy require efforts. The revolutionary interface of Little Snitch has given a clean view of my system outbound connections.

Existence of this software is the core reason, me and my team to look at alternatives for Mac OS and finally after CSAM fiasco, to switch 90 percent of our workflow to Linux. We still use some Apple computers, but we isolated them from the network.

There is nothing false in knowing what is going on with my computer. I suggest reading this paper for more clarification.

I don't think you are obligated to live your life or even enjoy it. It is a very nice bonus if you enjoy your life and feel that you are living your life.

There isn't a duty to make the most of whatever period you are in. You don't have to die without regrets as you get to choose how you live for a large part.

If you die with regrets it means that there was a glimmer of vibrancy, maybe a sense of dreaming as you die albeit negative.

Many of the 'internal' problems in developing nations root in historical colonialism.
Absolutely false. I had a new Jeep Wrangler get rear-ended (by a Smart Car of all things) with $13k+ in damage, including a bent frame, bent floor tub, and twisted roll cage, all of which was repaired.
The point that's being made is-- if there's a certain amount of energy being dissipated in a collision, it's better for things to crumple so that the energy is dissipated over a long time period and the peak accelerations (which damage occupants) are less.

A hypothetical perfectly rigid car that stops instantly in a collision instead of deforming is not safer for the occupants, because suddenly they will be going 40MPH inside a not-moving car.
"downtime" is kind of a weird way to call it. Its not down in the same way we think of AWS being down. I guess the right way to say it is 'time when the current longest chain was not an active chain', but that doesn't exactly roll of the tongue I guess.
Well they shouldn't. UUIDs are for distributed systems. Generating keys client side? That's a distributed system.
Ask HN: Have you switched jobs specifically in response to inflation?
Pretty self explanatory. Curious how many people have searched for and or taken a new position specifically because you perceive that the new attainable wage for your skillset has increased due to inflation? If so what kind of bump did you get? (If you are willing to share)
How does this compare to MIR?
Maybe consider not buying Apple again since their products refuse to allow you to live your lifestyle of separating work and personal life.
I spent 20+ years working as an automation consultant in automotive manufacturing. All the technology that Tesla has available to them, is being used by the other manufacturers as well. Tesla sometimes is less cautious on when they deploy that technology but that’s about it.

From a manufacturing standpoint, this will only impact stamping/casting and BIW (body in white) operations. Both are highly automated already with very few people (think the robotic lines you would see in a movie). Casting just takes work about from the stamping press and welding/riveting robots.

As a last point, from the plants I’ve been in (including Tesla), Tesla is actuality LESS automated than their counterparts in a lot of areas, because they are willing to “throw labor” at a problem at the expense of cost and quality in order to get parts made. You can do things way less efficient when the stock markets doesn’t care about your bottom line profits.
So happy this has been completed, I bet the team are going to rest easily tonight (after well deserved drinks). If any of them are here Congratulations!

Looking forward to first images, scheduled for June, but likely earlier. They will probably release test images from the focusing and mirror alignment operations.
It doesn’t publish it anywhere. Taler just ensures that money ends up in your bank account. What happens after that, is entirely up to the law.
My conference [0] spins up a brand new Matrix server each event. It's the equivalent of having hallway conversations that shouldn't be tracked.

The fact that BitTorrent has worked for decades without centralizing, and likely never will centralize, stands in quiet opposition to the entire "centralization is inevitable" line of thinking. The trackers, the obvious centralizing force, have always remained content-focused, rather than making the transition to platform control. Trackers are roughly federated, as you note; there are a lot of nodes, but relatively few trackers. And I believe most blockchain style systems would shake out similarly.

The authentic dev communities building blockchain tech are throwing their weight behind the idea that they will in time transition towards technical solutions, having already set a course for the social solution. So from their end, this criticism is always technical in nature. The initial source of trust is going to be in mathematical realities guaranteeing certain outcomes: if not cryptography, then tokenomics. Of course there are a huge number of "P.T. Barnums" who have jumped ahead to create solutions today, and these solutions tend to platformize. That's the discontinuity making it a circus.
Google isn't Google anymore so maybe they should.
1. Definitely use Cloze cards. These allow you to highlight a section of text which you have to type in order to pass the card. They are much more effective than regular flash cards, especially for foreign languages (or anything that requires accurate spelling or precision typing, e.g. code syntax.)

See the Cloze Deletion section: https://docs.ankiweb.net/editing.html

2. Try to make the cards into real-world examples. For instance, don't add the conjugation table, create example sentences for each of the conjugations and make each one a card. For foreign languages, I try to add audio to my flashcards, too.

3. Always make your own cards. Downloading premade decks never works and you miss part of the learning process.

4. For things that don't necessarily lend themselves to being on a flashcard, don't just write the information. Try to frame it in terms of a question and/or in a form that mimics the context in which you'd use the information.

For example, let's say you want to memorize the periodic table. Don't just write:

Carbon - Atomic Number: 6, Chemical Symbol: C, etc.

Instead, create cards with questions like:

What is the sixth element on the periodic table?, Is carbon before or after nitrogen?, What element has the chemical symbol C? and so on.

The more "viewpoints" you have of the topic, the better. I've found this to be a solid approach for virtually any topic.
Super happy to see 0.6 released, great work!

I've been sponsoring for close to a year, but haven't kept up with the Discord in many months. Currently I'm just been checking for updates every couple of weeks, and sometimes checking the state of GitHub issues and milestones.

However, is there any better way for me to keep up with progress? If not, has there been any thought about having regular status updates? They don't have to take a lot of your (or someone else's) time, but just a few sentences on what's been decided, what's happened, etc, would be nice! Once every 30 or 60 days would definitely be enough.

No, it's not one of the banned words in the HR guide.. I mean yes it is, but that's not what it means.
Yeah, thank god for free online fax gateways.
that which is asserted without evidence is rejected without evidence. you under estimate little people give a shit about money after a certain point.

plenty of people in the 100-200k range take cuts in the 30-40k / year range to move to better work environments. so the idea you'll get doctors who generally make 200k+ would be willing to work in shitty conditions for a prolonged period is pretty bogus.

nurses you might be able to entice them to come back for 20-30k bumps, but its also unlikely.

even if your idea worked, it doesn't increase the supply. it just brings us back to predecline levels.

edit: in fact a clear example of your idea not working: paying people to get the vaccine. did jack shit to actual increase uptake.

You're putting words in my mouth (hands?), I clearly said notify said user to get it's consent. It doesn't have to "synchronously hold a conversation waiting" for anything, the group can keep chatting between themselves and not add the latest recipient before they accept.

Maybe/probably my napkin solution wouldn't be the right one, but if you think it is too technically challenging for Apple to adapt iMessage for Android rather than purely a marketing tactic, I'd invite you to read the article on which we are commenting.

Yes we are in a bubble. The fed reserve does not allow bubbles to collapse circa 2008 anymore. There is too much income disparity between top earners and lowest earners. There is too much inflation and too low of interest rates. The healthcare system is beyond fucked, it’s become a mockery or symbol of fuck you to the lower middle class and lower. Housing prices are very high. The fed reserve needs to let the economy crash a bit so there is enough crisis to push legislation forward. We need to get rid of the federal reserve it is a cancer to American society. We also need to send a bill to China for reparations caused to our economy by covid. Having to pick between Sleepy Joe and Dumbo Trumpo can tell us all we need to know about the current state of politics. Too much infighting and polarization yet the discussion at hand is over vaccines instead of income disparity. Luckily I work in tech and have a somewhat privledged background so none or these issues even come close to effecting me so I don’t care as much. Optimistic as education increases I hope to see some good changes.

DuckDuckGo is awesome, I advocate for DDG as much as I can, and I switched completely a few months ago both on my phone and my PC, but I'm genuinely curious about how you were able to completely switch. Unless you also use the !g command?

I'd love for there to be a "permanent !g" option, because Bing (DDG's default engine) just doesn't cut it. Like, at all. And it's not like I do fancy searches all the time, or ever really. But unless I am searching for a very popular, basic term, most of the time DDG's results either show nothing relevant at all on the first page, or there's one or two results that are relevant, often times the most relevant (like, say, a product page for a product I'm searching for) being shown pretty far down on the page, with third party sites being up top.

In either case, I try !g and immediately find what I'm looking for on the front page. Like it's a whole new world. At this point I am using !g 90% of the time and it gets frustrating; I have half a mind of switching back, but I really don't want to do that, because Google needs to go.

Even when I add "site:xyz.com" or (gag) "site:reddit.com", while DDG's results are better in these cases, just in case I'll try "!g" to see if I missed anything and... bam, even more relevant results I never saw before.

I think Apple needs to enter the search engine business. Bing is just not good enough, and Google is evil. I've moved away from Google Maps, Gmail, Chromecast, and anything else Google I can move away from... but it's the best search engine by far and it's the one instance where it really does make me less productive if I use the alternative.
I've started hearing DDG ads on my local bloomberg radio station, it's going fully mainstream
Just briefly tried this, keynav seems to do region selection instead of the mouseable's mouse movement way.
Thanks for your work. What is the support for low-end and mobile devices? I have tried developing with bevy on my old macbook with an Intel Iris graphics card, maybe not ideal but that is what I have and I want to support most hardware. Last time I tried the simple cube example made my fans spin. Is this something that can be alleviated?
Doesn't matter how easy it is if no one wants to do it to begin with.

I hate running servers even for my business. I want someone else to do that as the article pointed out.
lol thats nice. Another thing I experimented with is downloading one of their dev VMs that supposed to expire but lie about the system clock and never connect it to the internet. It's tedious but works
I just changed it with your suggestion which i believe make more sense.
Do all of these and you are going to lose money on that operation.
If one ever wanted a taste of how niche the HN crowd is, just look at the comments here. Most of the top comments are people claiming they primarily use DDG, and rarely Google, which is hinting at DDG rapidly catching up in terms of market share and search quality, whereas in reality no one points out that the overall search traffic handled by DDG is basically what Google handled 18-20 years ago :)

Just to put things into perspective, DDG handles 97M queries a day whereas Google receives ~4M queries a minute.

The protocol is private by default (with a few regulated entities that issue coins).

The “taxable and disclosure” part is mostly ensuring that all the money earned by a merchant goes back to a real bank account. Where tax authorities should already have checks and balances in place for taxation purposes.
I worked for a large investment bank directly comparable to GS. I was a data and systems analyst that ended up doing pseudo-SWE work in addition to my other responsibilities. The interview process was stiff, rigid, felt outdated and very intimidating.

Ended up getting the job coming from a no name school with minimal experience. The reason why I got it, and why I seem to obtain most of my jobs, is because people say I'm "likeable". To this day, I have no idea what that means in the context of software development, investment banking, or technology in general as I work strictly behind the scenes and never in a client-facing capacity.

I will say, it was the best job I ever had; albeit, our dress code was always full business suits and printers and fax machines were still used. My boss ended up becoming a phenomenal role-model and mentor and taught me how to think critically about my work.
No code created. They used OpenAI Codex for this, AIUI.
This is my strategy now too, but I add another decade. That gives me a car with less stuff that can break.
It's very clear how cryptography benefits people. We are not discussing that, we are discussing cryptocurrencies and blockchains and cryptographic ledgers. And we are not looking to explain how all that works, because first we need to identify real world problems which would be solved by those technologies, and yes, somehow you can't get past how they are beneficial. You have provided three examples, but others have questioned whether crypto would solve them, and I don't believe you have provided adequate arguments to defend your position. It was fairly easy for me to understand the motivation behind cloud computing, or stock market, or credit cards. Blockchains originally sounded like it might be something as significant. Yet many years later nothing particular useful has materialized. And it's not even clear if it ever will.
