Location matters a lot. Larger cities where there's more job opportunities will usually attract a lot of people from smaller cities with less opportunities. Since these people are generally new to the area they are less likely to have established friend groups and will be looking for the same thing as you. This fosters an ideal environment to find new friends and even potential romantic partners.

Once you're in a location where you have an ideal number of varied people without established relationships, you need to go to where they will be found. And you need to keep going there so people start to get to know you and trust you.

He's some ideas on that:

- Get roommates if possible. They will introduce you to others. Even consider going to the extreme of joining coliving spaces to maximize this.

- Or rent Airbnbs where you're sharing a room in a place with others (for the same reason as above).

- Join clubs or events that overlap with your interests through Meetup.com or mentioned on a local Reddit. Make sure you keep going to the same ones so people get to know you.

- Work at a co-working space where you can run into others doing different things from you. This one has worked the best for me.

- Use apps like Bumble that are meant for this. Believe it or not, Bumble isn't just for dating.

- Finally, if all else fails, there's always bars and coffee shops. Some are more interesting than others. Try to strike up a conversation with others. Keep going to the same ones.

Essentially go to places with the most people who aren't in established cliques of friends and make yourself visible to the same people as much as possible.

Good luck!

Ask HN: Book on the History of Flash on Web?
I remember last year here on HN I saw a book on the history of Adobe Flash on the web, I think it was regarding Flash web design and Flash games. I can not find it searching on the HN and it is not on the Amazon. I can recall it looked very artistic maybe it is only ebook but I can not find it. Does anybody know the book and can you link it to me?

I wanted to build a joke NFT project with some friends, just to take a closer look at crypto since I never developed on it.

I need to say that there is some solid tech in that space but there are still some fundamental problems to be solved, structural problems, and I'm not seeing a solution. But we are not here to talk about it...

Reading about DAOs is funny because I really understand them now, after talking with those friends of mine who know nothing about tech and should have handled other parts of the project. I understand their meaning: 99% of the time they are a clever way of fooling people.

There is a lot of enthusiasm around crypto lately and some smart people, overhearing a lot of stuff (and fluff) they don't understand simply try to jump into the bandwagon. They are smart people in their lives but without tech knowledge they become the bigger fools when entering the crypto sphere.

But when you fool a smart person he will try to fall on his feet, he will never admit he got fooled so now he needs to fool someone else so to exit the game with lesser losses, or even gains if he's really smart... it's a weird variant of a Ponzi scheme and also an incredible social experiment.

My two cents.

Ugh. USB-C connectors are way, way more fragile than the connectors these power tools used to use. I break about a USB-C cable a week. I bet these things just aren't going to last more than a day or two on a construction site.

I read the article twice: what are the quieter corners the headline promises? Almost all the examples were still pooling money to buy a thing, with two of those things being a single piece of real estate. And Friends with Benefits seems like a nice social group. Both great for those involved, but hardly a revolution

I am very interested in alternative coordination mechanisms, so I was really looking forward to the practical applications of the DAO mechanism outside of crypto-for-crypto, but still am not really seeing it. What am I missing?
All of those usb specs are quite young and none have really lasted. Compared to other connectors that people may know:

- RJ45/8P8C was standardised in 1987

- the 3.5mm audio jack in 1979

- the PCI express slot from 2003

These are all still in use today. People expect to change connectors maybe twice in a lifetime, not every decade.
Yes I have had that problem and still have it from time to time. Like you said, I mentioned one way to deal with it in the sibling thread. What has also happened in some cases is that I had to de-prioritize other things that I had on my plate because the questions were more important at that time.

Maybe it's not entirely clear what I mean with thoroughness here. I am talking about not just ignoring someone's questions. It doesn't mean that if you "ask" me to answer 7 questions that will each take a day of work to answer that I will be "thorough and do those 7 things immediately to get you your answer". I will simply ensure that I read all your 7 questions and tell you that each will take me about a day to answer as it would require certain checks and that I do not have the time for that at the moment. However, if your questions are so urgent vs. the other things I have on my plate, you are welcome to talk to my boss/my product owner/etc on getting your items prioritized higher. I have a finite amount of time per day that I do work and while the exact amount can vary from time to time I will not start working 80 hour weeks or start ignoring your questions.

> Which is the immediate solution, nuclear? Unfortunately it isn't. Solar and wind are way more immediate.

How about:

* stop shutting down current nuclear electrical generation capacity

* build more solar and wind capacity

* as more renewable capacity comes online use it retire fossil fuel generators

Once all the carbon-emitting stuff is offline then perhaps look at shutting down current nuclear.

You know: the opposite of what Germany is doing.

Whenever articles like this about communication crop up, I like to remind people of Wiio's Laws[0] - from 1978:

1. Communication usually fails, except by accident.
2. If a message can be interpreted in several ways, it will be interpreted in a manner that maximizes the damage.
3. There is always someone who knows better than you what you meant with your message.
4. The more we communicate, the worse communication succeeds.
5. In mass communication, the important thing is not how things are but how they seem to be.
6. The importance of a news item is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
7. The more important the situation is, the more probable you had forgotten an essential thing that you remembered a moment ago.

Just to reiterate, these laws are over 40 years old, predating any kind of social media or internet-based communication - and they're still 100% valid.

> a perhaps uncomfortable reflection of who we are not a failing of AI

It is a natural response to an uncomfortable reflection to blame the mirror. If only I can find the right fun-house mirror, I can forget about this annoying diet. That's akin to limiting Google's AI training data in such a way that it does not assume that the internet is still largely about porn.

We can change Google's search results to reflect less of our racism and misogyny. That would be about as effective at reducing bigotry as the fun-house mirror is at reducing obesity.

International law. The US itself pushed to establish aggressive war as a crime at the Nuremburg Trials.

War is only allowed in two circumstances:

* Self-defense against an imminent threat (for example, a pre-emptive strike against a clearly hostile army gathering on your border for an invasion).

* With UN Security Council authorization.

The US did not fight the Iraq War in self-defense. It was a war of choice on the other side of the world.

The US specifically avoided asking for UNSC authorization, because it was aware that it would be denied.
In some ways this has been tried as a social app many times, but like any network, it is difficult to get adoption.

The thing is, you probably don't want to meet a bunch of other people who are just looking to meet other interesting people.

How do I meet people?

#1 - I talk to people in line at the coffee shop mostly, but also randomly at other places. I tend to go in waves with this, and Covid has definitely made it more challenging with masks and distance and all, but I've met some very interesting people just by striking up random conversations.

#2 - Define what you mean by "interesting". I met some of my closest friends when I got into open-water swimming and mountain biking. I also sometimes take my slackline to the local park and play around. I didn't do it to be social, but kinda hoped that people would be interested and join in. This hasn't happened as I expected.

#3 - As mentioned, meetups can also be an interesting place to meet people, but don't just go for the work related stuff. Pick something that would not usually be on your radar. Go in a somebody there to learn. People love to teach others about their hobbies. Though I've met a few interesting people at meetups, I don't think there is anybody I would consider a close friend. But I do meet interesting people when I was going to meetups.

#4 - Be interesting. What other things outside of work interest you? I used to be much better at this than I currently am. As I approach 50, I find that I've got my interests, and am not as broad as I used to be. Are you interested in the environment? How active are you in environmental activism? Interest in the arts? Is there a way you can become more active in that community? How about a class? My co-founder and I almost signed up for a local jewelry making course because we needed to learn how to do metalwork. But there was a part of me that just got excited about learning a completely new thing, and meeting the people that were drawn to that activity.

#5 - Connect with a connector. In chatting to people regularly, I met the owner of my local coffee shop. He knows everyone in the neighbourhood, and when he is at the shop and not working, he is regularly introducing me to other people he thinks I may have a connection with. I met a very interesting guy through that connection, and we have a lot of common interests.

I think the key thing is to be out there doing, but don't be needy. Enjoy the act of finding interesting things, and you'll find interesting people will be drawn to you.

OP here. Great comments and ideas, all. A few notes:
* Talon is pretty great
* I think the market for text to speech and voice control is huge, and maybe Dragon/Nuance rules it because of their patents, but oh, does it suck. Like being stuck on Windows 95 or something.
* Voice Recognition is in fact currently good enough to get real work done efficiently
* Serious RSI can't be fixed with ergonomics or better devices
* If there were a modern alternative to Dragon, it would solve a chunk of the problem

It's true that computer control currently requires a lot of customization, but I see no practical reason why we can't at least make simple commands fast and accurate, i.e., 'create new html document in VS Code'.
That is the happy path. It has a lot more possible sources of error/time consumption than the app and there are many benefits to the app.

1. The line is busy. The app is next to never busy.

2. The line has static and you are not heard correctly. Especially problematic for delivery or complicated orders. Or they may get your name wrong. My first name is common and my last isn't great over the telephone.

3. You have to remember what you ordered each time. Apps let me quickly re-order.

4. You cannot easily pre-pay (irrelevant if you have cash, but if you are like me and wish to never use cash again, having to pull out the card is annoying rather than just grabbing the pizza).

5. Most places now seem to be on DoorDash, so you can just order from there and avoid the additional friction. You also know you can get excellent customer service from DoorDash while a new restaurant is an unknown.

I disagree. Punishment is not a fix. Criminals don't consider "for 5 year prison i will do it for 10, i wont". Negative examples, like a rouge cop being shamed and convicted, is not strictly required, simple training of the cops misbehaviour leading to consequences would achieve the same.

>you can't rely on just training cops to be "less bad"

Neither can punishment. My point is the individuals cognitive flaws that cause mistakes are a weak point of libertarian thinking. Everyone justifies their (bad) actions post hoc, barely anyone see themself as the bad guys and only education for other perspectives can change that.
Yeah, but if you don’t collect their email address, you can’t spam them at will with “Trending Pizza Shops!” and “New York Style vs. Chicago”, and everyone’s favorite “Privacy Policy Updates” and “Winter Storm Pizza Prep”
> You're lying that the government truncated was dishonest as the response to motion makes clear

The government's response to the motion does not dispute that the words are a paraphrase of someone else. The government tries to rationalize its original decision to leave that information out.
I recall when YouTube used to refine the "best answer" to a question based on distributed popularity. Ask it, "How do I screw in a lightbulb?" and the video at the top would be one which had received numerous views and likes, crowdsourcing its usefulness in answering the question. Then the algorithm was changed to prioritize more recent videos. This gave rise to the churn of the novel and new over the time tested and approved. This was better for ads, but worse for users. One cannot expect the ad driven model NOT to have an impact on usability.
Yeah, it's really not. You CAN do knuth-style literate programming in org-mode (https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html) I used it to make http://mullr.github.io/micrologic/literate.html.

The experience completely cured me of Knuth-style literate programming, fwiw. It's really great for making a lasting artifact about a program that's completely done. But I can count the number of programs I've worked on like that on zero fingers. Even this one isn't really done, but the cost of updating the essay along with the code discouraged me from working on it any more.
This is only true for very simple orders. And may heaven help you if you and the person on the other end are both non-native English speakers.

As soon as you want anything remotely custom, using an app or website is a lifesaver.

And the good apps remember your order for one/two tap re-ordering. Chipotle’s app is one that does this extremely well.
USB-C -> dc barrel jack cables (or pigtails) are now super cheap on amazon. 5V/9V/12V/15V/20V 3A dc connections from any usb power source. You can basically get rid of any wall wart you want at this point.
I like the "simpler is better" sentiment but for me it's actually nicer to order pizzas via my regional pizza franchise's web app and then pick then up. Four people. Preferences. I much prefer clicking them in in the app. This does not invalidate the sentiment in general - be as simple as possible - but the chosen example perhaps is not as obvious in all geographies.
what did you replace the keyboard with?
The local pizzeria I prefer runs their own website for orders, it's not as fancy as the app-based ones but it works and I know that 100% of the proceeds go to the pizza place and their drivers. Not some silicon valley giant who takes 99% off the top and gives 1% to their "platform economy" slaves.

Not only invasive but restaurant websites are so buggy.

For example, I tried ordering a Papa Murphy’s pizza the other day online. It used one of the major food ordering sites. It described “toppings. Pick 5. $2 per topping for extra toppings”

So I chose a few toppings. It added $2 per topping. Period. Didn’t matter if it were red flakes, Parmesan cheese, bacon, onions, olives: $2/ea.

So I’ll just order over phone from now on so I don’t have to worry about these crazy bug fees.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that health care orgs should have recommended masks early in the pandemic. What I am saying is their adamant declarations of "masks don't work for the public", which note is an affirmative declaration, were false, and never had any supporting evidence. My question is about whether this "simpler, un-nuanced" explanation in fact complicated things in the longer run.
Not that I know of. I’m using ip6tables with an, honestly garbage, script to give me similar functionality to AWS Elastic IPs.

- Everything inside the network gets a private address from DHCPv6.

- I have a pool of some of my assigned prefix designated as generic outbound which use masquerading and multipath routing so my home traffic isn’t all coming from a single address. This is mostly useless but was fun to set up.

- Then for the rest of the prefix I can create “attachments” where traffic from one of the public ips in the pool is routed to the private address using DNAT and then all outbound traffic from that host is SNATted to come from that public ip.

So the internal hosts can have zero knowledge that they even have a public address, their privates will just start receiving traffic from the internet. When I get a new assignment from my ISP nothing internal will have to change.

It’s port forwarding on steroids!

I've updated my comment with reddit resources. Read on the science as well, learn about it.

It would be hard for me not to be in a caloric deficit. Meat and fat are incredibly filling, and once your body switches to ketone bodies and then fatty acid oxidation for fuel, it learns that, if you're overweight, you're carrying a ton of fuel ready for use. It's hard to explain if you haven't experienced it, but it actually feels _good_, as opposed to the regular carb and insulin dance.
