>> I want a better sleep schedule but not bad enough to put it into practice

> This sums up the issue. Most people could get decent sleep if they wanted to or even made a basic effort

Agreed.

> but their current poor-sleep compromise isn’t bad enough to make them want to give anything up. Or they don’t understand what they’re losing because it has been so long since they tried a reasonable sleep schedule.

I think that just like with Diet or Exercise with sleep the feedback loops are longer/delayed and that stops people from engaging in overwhelmingly healthy behavior - because the habit is harder to form.
The ability to listen with one headphone in is definitely a feature, but the issue is that sometimes that's happening when it shouldn't be. You pulled both Airpods out of the case, put them in your ears, but only one connects. And you can't get the one with no sound to play sound until you put it back in the case and try again (sometimes takes a couple attempts)
I used developer tools on the wordle site, and the answer bank (basically a huge array) is in one of the javascript files.

We have an internal JSON format for specifying the firewall configurations of all our servers. Essentially just "this group of servers can access this group of servers on these ports". Together with an idempotent "make it so" script, it has been a lifesaver.

I'm not sure there is all that much to be inferred simply from the fact that I am in an area I am familiar with, as each person's preferences are to some extent both idiosyncratic and mood-dependent. For example, there are places I usually avoid around sunset on a clear day, because experience has told me that, at certain times of the year, sun glare leads to bad driving in these areas. I simply might not generate enough data for this pattern to be inferred, even with complete astronomical and meteorological data for the area.

I like to review the proposed route before starting out (and when on the road if I am not the driver), and if I don't like the options presented, I sometimes add an intermediate destination to influence the route-finding, even though I have no intention of stopping there.
I agree, but I'm going to defend the wifi case a little. Ethernet doesn't work if you're using a laptop, because it defeats the purpose of having a portable computer in the first place. You either have to be able to work offline, or you have to stay next to an ethernet plug.

I said above that wired headphones have infinite battery life. I suppose I could say the same about a desktop computer versus a laptop, but I don't think that would be fair.
> Ironically, we still paid less out of pocket for that week-long hospital stay without insurance than we would have paid for a single day hospital stay here in the US with insurance.

I'm curious about this one. I've been to the hospital one time in my adult life. Stayed overnight, got multiple tests including an Xray and an MRI. Got medication, etc.

Having heard the horror stories I was ready for a big bill.

It was like $140.

It was cheaper than a hotel room would have been.

I can't tell if I just have exceptionally good insurance or if people who make a big deal about the US healthcare system are leaving out critical details.
How is that relevant?

Is there any question that a housekeeper is better off if they were able to spend their time studying or training for something that offers a higher probability of earning higher incomes?

Or should society continue to perpetuate the relative socioeconomic class you are born into by having you spend your time washing other people’s clothes and homes?

I would push back on this quite a bit. Many of the posts and discussions on HN are political masquerading as science.
How many developers in the US work at companies targeting a worldwide audience? Out of those that do, how many have one site that targets a worldwide audience?
This is part of Apple’s problem right now.

They’ve lost focus.

TV shows, cars, VR headsets, six different iPad models.

So the small stuff suffers: iOS. OS X. AirPods. Airdrop.

Airdrop just stopped working for me recently. The clock app in iOS still only lets you have ONE reminder.
I think a lot is transferable. It depends on what your daily job is. Retro-gaming and emulation is low-level. So if your job is low-level like systems, OS, embedded, etc, then it's transferable experience/knowledge.
The guy would have died pretty soon without the procedure. If the choice is between dying for sure in a few weeks, or maybe dying in a few weeks but maybe not dying for another few years.... I'll take the 2nd option.
Annoyance: When I use AirPods Pro and turn on my car, my iPhone automatically switches to the car-stereo's Bluetooth as expected. If I take the AirPods out of my ears for the first 5-10 secs after the switch, the iPhone pauses whatever was playing. I need to wait, or resume manually.
It’s consumerism and society being shaped for profit. It doesn’t actually cost much money for everyone to have a place to live and food to eat, but our economy (in the US) is considered healthy when people are shopping a lot and spending money on relative luxuries. Paying big mortgages on houses built by real estate developers to maximize profit. It should be a lot easier to live on not much money than it is. We exalted the “middle class” and their spending. That seems like part of it, at least.

I can’t believe people still repeat the old “productivity” canard from economists. There was this idea that technology makes workers more productive, raising wages, which hasn’t been true since the 1970s, because it’s just wrong. Technology makes companies more productive, and the workers make the same. Economists hold their wrong theory above reality and act like this gap is some kind of mysterious “dark matter” that defies the known laws of the universe. As I always say, when a company upgrades their copy machine to one that is twice as fast, they don’t pay the person who makes the copies twice as much. Also, without unions, and with an abundance of people to do the unskilled work needed, there is no force pushing wages up.
“Dogs are pets” is one of those cultural background assumptions that can be pretty jarring when you realize it’s not a universally held belief. There are pretty large chunks of the planet where dogs are mostly unwanted pests at best.

> Takeaway: to dramatically decrease the chance of Google rewriting your title, matching the H1 to the title tag seems to be an effective strategy.

Of course it should be mentioned this wont last if it becomes popular. Historically every time an SEO trick gets popular, the rules are adjusted. Even having this article on the front page of HN might be enough to see Google react by rethinking how (or whether) tags in titles affect the title rewrites.
> I think a lot of people forget that there was no actual collaboration between Marx and Lenin and the others.

Well, I mean, people “forget” because equating Leninism with Marxism served the purposes of both Leninists and Western opponents of Marxism, so it became a common element of propaganda of both the USSR and other authoritarian communist regimes and the capitalist west.
Pavloxid works best if you use it at symptom onset, so it should be used on all symptomatic infections, not just serious cases.
These characteristics all seem like Google attempting to combat SEO-oriented spam titles.
It is so amazing to me how many people don't seem to recognize this.

My (somewhat baseless) speculation on this is that a lot of the people in forums like HN are early adopter types who mostly work from home, and so were able to avoid exposure and got the vaccine relatively early. From this standpoint, I could see it being harder to empathize with folks who were exposed in everyday life (it's just a simple jab, I did it, why can't everyone else? Or maybe even those folks must be bad/lesser people if they didn't stop themselves from being infected).

Combine that with the constant onslaught of media time that pointedly ignores the categories that you breakdown above, and maybe it's no wonder that people have the opinions on this that they do.
On the website of the company I work for, the title is "tagline | company name" but in the search results it shows up as "company name: tagline". That style doesn't appear on the company website anywhere.

I imagine it's Google trying to normalize how things are shown but it's quite annoying. It could potentially break some company's branding.

>One man or small team software projects in general are better for this reason as well

I think these fall on both sides of the bell curve. One person can design something clean and beautiful, and one person can also be a one-man mess of bad decisions. I've picked up after both.
I await the results, ten years int he future, where we integrate a wide range of data in less ambiguous ways to determine what the actual effects of vaccination, post-infection resistance, masking, etc were, and understand the underlying causes. I do agree that interventions (except for full shutdown like china) don't seem to have a huge variation in results.
Does not check for real words.
This is my approach. At my desk? Sure, wired is fine. Even have a full DAC/amp setup (JDS Labs Element II) that I plug my trusty old Sennheiser HD6XX’s into.

> The likelihood of getting breakthrough infections is high because there is so much virus around us right now

The likelihood of a breakthrough infection with Moderna is 1.6 in 1000. An overactive immune system can be as bad as a weak one. If they can prove this doesn't lead to adverse events like cytokine storm only then is this beneficial.

> Well, it is an air gapped system that depends on a possibly insecure input and output device.

No, an air gap means that there is a gap of air between the system and any insecure network. By definition, a YubiKey plugged into a networked laptop is not airgapped because there is a direct electrical connexion to the laptop’s USB controller, which has either an electrical or an RF connexion to one or more networks.

> Every air gapped system has the weakness that you have to eventually get material on and off the system.

I really think that you misunderstand what an air-gapped system is. A desktop not connected to a network is an air-gapped system, and can be very useful. For years we computer enthusiasts used non-networked — air-gapped — computers and loved them. An air-gapped desktop publishing system would be very useful for producing samizdat in a repressive regime, for example. I imagine folks did exactly that in the late 80s in the Soviet Union. In my youth, all video game consoles were air-gapped, and they were very useful.
The plugin guy can afford to be reasonable-ish. It reduces the likelihood of the scam being publicly disclosed, and I'd wager that 99% of people never notice the plugin is doing this.
Wired earbuds are amazing with masks. If you put them on before you put on the mask, when you need to take one off to hear something, the mask straps hold it conveniently hanging near your ear. A fumbled airpod rolling across the floor is not an improvement.
AirPods are held on ears similar to how a wine glass should be held in hand. There is a opposing pair of protrusions in human ears, between which the stem goes through, and the flexion of that protrusions works against the force exerted by the bulb and hold earphones in place.

I don't understand why Apple went with that as a default; that part of my ears seems to have evolved so as not to catch debris, and EarPods-style earphones just comes off as they should. And it is not that likely I have a million in one ear leaf genetic subtypes.

I would always consider dislike percentage before wasting my time consuming content. This is the same as negative reviews on a restaurant. A few of them won't stop me from going, but enough of them make me reconsider.

So the end result is I can't trust the quality of the content on youtube anymore, and have stopped using it for anything other than occasional music.
Why Rust Might Attract More Developers Than Java or Even JavaScript
I don't know if it's the same for third party peripherals, but I know I thought this was the case for a long time with my first party Apple wireless keyboard + mouse, but it turned out it just didn't automatically connect on the login screen, and if I just hit any button on the keyboard it would connect in a second or 2 (I'm guessing that hitting keys while it's disconnected sends out a signal to pair)
It's a sad state of affairs that marketing needs drive Google. I can hear the "duh" response to that in people's minds (yes we know how Google gets revenue) but - this is the index to the world's data. The World's data portal.

Thank you, I've had my eye on those and was searching this thread for just such a review!
> "Stoic" philosophy, as understood and practiced by ruling class/execs/etc has almost nothing to do with Epictetus, and is the product of a culture millenia away from the ancient mindset.

Since you started it, I'll ask for a citation on this too. I'm sure you have a subjective sense in which this seems true, but I'm not personally convinced that humanity and human problems have changed all that much, nor that stoicism as currently understood is all that different than Epictetus's conception.

> For neurotic people their "imaginary fears" might be harming them more than actual problems. But not for the "vast majority of humanity".

Extreme poverty is now very rare (1 in 7 people) [1]. Death from violent conflict is also rare (most pessimistic estimate is 2 per 100,000) [2]. Obviously this is not the complete picture of all bad things, but I think it's basically the case that constant physical suffering is a pretty uncommon for most people these days, where mental suffering is common to most people.

Furthermore, fear, anxiety and unnecessary mental suffering are not the domain of purely neurotic people. Neurotic people simply become non-functional in various ways because of it, and that's why it's considered a disorder. Just because you're functional does not mean you're not suffering mentally (and possibly unnecessarily).

> War, hunger, poverty, health issues, precarious jobs, bad jobs, persecution, bullying, bad relationships, loneliness, old age, betrayals, and so on, are actual things that harm people in actual reality,

Absolutely. But I don't think it's at all obvious that the magnitude of harm actually outstrips the constant anxiety and fear of imagining yourself possibly experiencing that harm.

Take bullying, something with which many people on HN probably have some experience. The actual experience of bullying is terrible when it happens. Each instance is what, perhaps 5-10 minutes of suffering? Now consider how much suffering you experienced outside of that, the fear and paranoia that you might run into your bully around every corner, the constant review of the humiliating experience every night, the dread of the walk to school or between classes, to defense mechanisms you build up to that can reduce your ability to connect with others in adult life.

So what is really harming the bullied more overall, the actual bullying, or the mental suffering surrounding the bullying? Yes, the mental suffering was triggered by the bullying, but that doesn't mean it has to dominate your life, so I don't think the answer is as clear as you imply, and I think the same argument applies to most of the other items on your list, eg. the physical suffering is often temporary, but the mental suffering is considerably longer lasting and thus probably more impactful. Stoicism can arguably grant you a perspective shift that reduces or eliminates a lot of that mental suffering.

It's clear that React is the winning framework currently, with probably Angular and Vue following. I would not blame anyone looking to be employed as a frontend developer to go with React.

That's part of the problem and it's a vicious circle.

And most people like React and I can understand that. It's easy to use and understand. At least at first (debugging subtle (performance or not) bugs related to React's model is… not always easy but these bugs usually arrive when your app is already big enough. This is probably true of any framework).

What's more, most people are not that sensitive to performance and if they are, they might not be aware of React's problems before learning it and practicing (which is also true of any framework).

And also, nobody is fired for picking React.
That's from another level

I actually ran into this issue when designing an "audit" store service recently. Basically, we had a need to store when certain transactions happened by users on a platform, so that they could later be audited if necessary. My first reaction was to use a blockchain-like append-only database. Perfect, until we realized we _also_ had to honor GDPR requests of users, and therefore had to be able to remove data...

Like MIR machines? Like blood labs? Like home pregnancy tests? Without the FDA's regulation of medicine we would quickly be back to snake oil and cocaine in everything. It is bad enough that drugs stores are allowed to sell water as a "homeopathic remedy". The snake oil people are out there waiting for deregulation.
Haven’t we been doing similar thing with for example stock market analysis when we analyze a company’s earnings/management etc?
Agree. Then you imagine that the entire SEO industry is basically based around the idea that a company has a algorithm only they know, and the industry is trying to reverse-engineer that algorithm. If they released a whitepaper describing exactly how it works, the entire industry would have to change their ways to consulting already public information instead of experiments like this.
Specifically, make your title and H1 match exactly and aim for a character length of around 51-60.

This article stimulated an interesting discussion. Sleep problems are very fixable/treatable. Improving sleep starts with objective good quality sleep data- a sleep test. FDA grade multi night sleep test give us great insight into sleep to rule out sleep disorders (over 80% of people are usually not aware). Using data from a sleep test allows clinicians to guide us on what would be the most effective intervention to improve sleep. I work at empowersleep.com; it’s a digital sleep health platform. Not selling here but, I see so many people suffering I felt obligated to share there are solutions and guidance to better sleep. Just for context, I’m a board certified Harvard trained sleep doctor. We’ve helped thousands of people improve their sleep.

Where do they get the key from?
I used XM3 for 2 years on Linux, Windows, macOS and Android. I guess I used them for 4-12 hours a day most for most of these two years. I guess I spent at least 1/4 of this period with them on my head. And I dropped them many times, weared them during my runs on seaside in hot weather as well as walked in them inrain / snow.

They still work as good as new except for battery life, but this expected for device that had 500-1000 recharge cycles. I guess battery lost like 30-50% of original capacity.

PS: I only used Sony app a few times to update firmware and change settings though.
"last modified" only works for static content, and not pages that are rendered dynamically or where the header is set based on cache settings.

Even for static content, the date may be wrong as the output may have been generated multiple times since it was first created.
If they were just illegitly scraping results, they could not provide any kind of consistency in quality as they would be getting blocked on and off.
