I don't have sources, sorry, and probably shouldn't have replied because my remark falls under what HN likes to dismiss as anecdotal:

I have trouble tolerating soy. Someone I trust suggested to me it might not be soy per se that I have an issue with. It might be GMO soy that is an issue for me.

Some years ago, I did look up stats verifying that soy was GMO at a shockingly high percentage. I had no reason to track those sources and haven't revisited it recently.

In my case, this seems like a plausible explanation for my issue. Though I have a genetic disorder and I'm very sensitive to all kinds of details of food chemistry and pay close attention to such for my health. But "It works for me" has never been respected anywhere on the planet as any kind of meaningful observation that anyone wants to hear.

Feel free to ignore it.
I love how there are two separate Zettelkasten posts on the front page rn. I've been adding to mine for almost six months now. My Zettelkasten[1] has made me smarter, able to see connections where I wouldn't before, has improved my working memory and writing, and has given me a way to create a world from my mind that others can experience.

Every mind NEEDS a Zettelkasten!

Bonds yes, stocks are weird though because as you mentioned inflation can cause draw downs but it also has upward pressure as well do to rising prices of assets at large. Value stocks (firms with "now" cash flows), I believe tend to do well in an inflationary environment, verses growth (firms with "future" cash flows) stocks.
This. As bond rates rise capital moves out of stocks over to bonds. Bonds are higher in the capital structure as well. When bond rates go absurdly low capital moves into stocks (as we have seen).

Bush W's "if they have oil" doctrine. In this case the invasion would be legitimate if it was Ukraine invading Russia and not the other way around.
A Repairable Future
I can see this kinda. It would be interesting to experiment with how black and white this is.

Historically, most cases have been either compile time (static) or run time (dynamic) type checking. And left between one or the other, and experiences like the above, people make their binary choice.

More and more in my Python code, I do some type annotations I can. My feeling is that the annotation coverage ROI is non linear. I get a lot of mileage out of the types I can add easily. When it gets complicated (interesting unions or deep containment) it gets harder and harder. Enough so that sometimes it influences my design decisions just to make the typing job easier.

I’m left to wonder how this scales as the code base/team size scales. If the pain of 0 types is 100 in a large project, and 100% types cuts it to 10, what happens if we all do the easier 80% annotations. Is the pain 80% less too? Or is my personal experience mirrored and it actually is quite a bit better than just 80% reduction?
Yeah that WhatsApp was strang...nope. Well maybe poor Signal...nope not them either. So what "competitive upstarts" were strangled in the crib?
Most studies on going to specialized schools full of gifted people show it doesn't have positive impact on future outcomes compared to going to regular school.

Dobbie and Fryer (2013) look at New York City, comparing kids whose test scores are just-above versus just-below the cut points, and find that “exposure to these higher-achieving and more homogeneous peers has little impact on college enrollment, college graduation, or college quality.”

Abdulkadriglu, Angrist, and Pathak (2014) look at Boston and find that “the marked changes in peer characteristics at exam school admissions cutoffs have little causal effect on test scores or college quality.”

Barrow, Sartain, and de la Torre (2020) look at an effort in Chicago to give a boost to lower-scoring kids who came from high-poverty neighborhoods and find that “for students from low-SES neighborhoods, we estimate negative effects on grades and the probability of attending a selective college.”
This assumes the system works 100% of the time.

The book he mentions, Teach Yourself Better Handwriting by Rosemary Sassoon is very good. Most handwriting books give you a model to copy, but her focus is on analyzing and improving your natural handwriting.

It is typical for people to see their handwriting improve upon switching to a fountain pen. I believe this is because a fountain pen encourages you to hold it so that the strokes to make good letter shapes come with less effort.

Just moved to a rural area 2 years ago. Will never move back to the suburbs. My water tastes better than any city water. We do shut off the well when it gets below 20 or so (a few times a year max), but it’s no big deal because we always see it coming and stock a few gallons. Mail issues have never been a problem. Our power has been more stable out here than in the city of 50k where I moved from. Gig fiber here with massive upgrade potential in the future because they ran 12 strands to my house. I only hear crickets and wind at night. Occasionally the dogs if they have to run the coyotes off. Why would I move back to the city?

Texting is asynchronous. If I have a question for you I can send it when I think about it and you can respond when you have time.

If I call you, it's basically me saying "What I want is more important than what you're doing right now". Sometimes I may still want to do that, but certainly not always.

I find it really annoying when someone insists on having a long back and forth conversation over text that could be handled in two minutes with a call, but there are a lot of things that don't justify calling someone.

There's also the documentation factor. Being able to reference previous conversations is desirable in some cases.

Let Europe handle her political disagreements. We have no place there. The present breathless escalation of tensions only leads to one place and it's not good at all.

Why is the United States taking the lead at all in a conflict between countries with a history of conflict longer than the US has been around? European powers routinely engage financially with Russia in the form of pipeline contracts, friendly coordination on multiple other areas such as environmental protection etc.

This is all just a proxy fight for the natural resources (Oil) in Crimea and Ukraine and that's disgusting.

> On June 17, 2019, she asked in a Twitter post how the sponsorship was compatible with the Bible, linking to a photograph of a biblical passage, Romans 1:24-27, on Instagram.

Here's what that passage is (I don't know if this is the same translation she linked to):

> Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity.

Is it Gitlabs goal to overthrow GitHub as the most popular code repository tool? Or are you catering to a specific/specialized section of the market?

I haven’t used Gitlab, but since this is HN I’ll throw an advice your way anyway: I would LOVE to see a really good code review tool. GitHub has made improvements, but I love reviewable and want at least one of GitHub/Gitlab to have a really amazing code review experience. Things like being able to organize discussions, encouraging better code review etiquette (somehow)… just make it possible for developers to review code.
The account that locked them into Google for a decade? Yes. No competitor could begin to attempt to sell a new service against free. Now the social contract is switching after all the baiting and it’s money time.

It’s typical in SaaS to grandfather in old accounts. You take the hit because your later client base is so much bigger, and why not keep your early adopters sweet. Google has calculated the value of those early adopters and decided it’s worth it. Wait until customers have too much to lose and then yank the fishing line. “You call them early adopters? We call them freeloaders.”

This is why I use an iPhone. I pay the money and I get to keep (mostly) my data. Google, you give away your data and pay nothing. Now you give data and you pay? Ick. If Apple starts giving away my data I’d be equally pissed.

I've mentioned this before, but I agree wholly. Google's product "strategy" gets shit on all the time (killedbygoogle.com), but the real issue is that the company is structured as if that's what they want to have happen. It's a loose association of warring VPs trying to establish big enough fiefdoms to be able to buy a third house. There's no real benefit to maintaining existing products for them. They just want to reorg things so they can amass more and more reports and justify their next enormous equity refresh. Killing old products to "make room" for new hotness is a pretty good way to do that.

Show HN: Progress.org
Progress.org must be one of the oldest sites on the Internet, and quite likely the oldest site that has continuously advocated for economic justice.

A few years ago, I took it over and gave it a new facelift (thanks, Webflow!)

So today, it’s my great pleasure to announce a next chapter for Progress.org Earlier today I transferred stewardship of Progress.org into the capable hands of Floyd Marinescu, a man whom I deeply respect and admire. Floyd is a successful entrepreneur and the founder of UBI Works (https://ubiworks.ca), Canada’s preeminent basic income advocacy organization.

While basic income was the start of Floyd’s journey of economic discovery, his journey didn’t end there, but continued to develop once Floyd discovered the inequities created through our contemporary system of property ownership. His interests have grown to encompass the teachings of JM Keynes, Henry George, and other economic giants. In their spirit, he intends to continue Progress.org’s legacy as a source of information and inspiration on economic and social justice.

Look, I'd gladly pay something but 60 dollars per month, every month? I'd be happy to pay 120 dollars a year for the service I'm getting now. Like one of the parallel commenters, I have given out accounts on my domain.

I dont really need any more service than I have now, I don't need the full google workspace, I just want gmail on my custom domain, thats all really.

The most annoying parts of this, google, the company that hosts my email, couldn't even be bothered to send me an email about this, I instead found out about it on the front page of HN.

So now I need to figure out how to migrate out, because if I move my email, I have to move my entire google account, my email, domain hosting/registration, youtube account, everything, I have no way to port the data over even to a regular account.
In my whole life I've known like two people with eating disorders (the not eating enough kind). Almost every single other person aside from those two eat too much, and I'd say mostly they eat way, way too much.

Now, those two people definitely had a problem, but knowing them it was one I knew couldn't begin to understand, and I can't imagine that any of the pithy things people say all they time to express concern about not "developing anorexic" if I (while carrying a slight gut myself) skip a meal would make any difference to them. You might as well being telling someone in the grip of an oxy addiction to "just say no".

Conversely almost nobody has ever told me I was eating too much. I never see it addressed in "movies with an important message" or any other pop culture PSAs. Nobody said anything during the COVID pandemic where people are literally dying of COVID from being overweight and not able to get enough oxygen with their damaged lungs to keep their whole body alive. Instead they euphemistically called it "co-morbidity" and left it at that. All this concern for eating disorders I think it's mostly just a smokescreen.

Precisely, there is no international coalition of countries threatening war against us, is there?

Why is the US or NATO justified in doing the same to Russia then ?

[Edit] Since the algo won't let me post too many comments too fast.

Sanctions/War/whatever . . . the point is that the actions of the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria are many orders of magnitude worse than anything Russia has done to Crimea or is planning on doing to Ukraine, so any retort saying "We are not going to war, we are applying sanctions" is about as paradoxical as it gets.

If those actions justify sanctions or war, surely the US should be first in line to sanction itself?
