Hi HN, as a person with back pain from working at a desk I started Movably to find a way to move and change postures much more often without interrupting my deskwork or concentration.

Here’s a video of how it works: https://youtu.be/dC__YxuEGBU

We think the right problem to solve is how do we to prevent back and health issues with movement but without disturbing our focus. The magic with Movably is that it all works at one standing height so it isn’t disturbing like raising/lowering a sit-stand desk (which almost no one does often enough) or walking on a treadmill. Because your center of gravity maintains its relationship to the work surface it becomes automatic really quickly. And sitting is just a posture too, you can sit when you need to (just not too much!).

If you happen to be in the Bay area, NYC, or Boston sign up to try it for a week and give us feedback here: https://movably.typeform.com/to/Nyo8603J, we have chairs circulating and more coming online.

Thank you!
>> And that the Democratic party wants a path to full citizenship for anyone who manages to stay in the country long enough.<<

Full path to citizenship is for those who 'were brought as kids/infants' i.e. who had no say in how they came into the country. If they are still minors and need their parents, then some 'form of stay' for their parents.

If you cross the border illegally as an adult and barring any special circumstances, you will most likely be deported. It would also be difficult to get a professional job since a lot of companies participate in the eVerify program.
Do you have any sources that attempt to be unbiased rather than unabashedly pro Israel?

You'll find a hot tub/sauna in most Scandinavian cabins.
The article claims that 15 ships pollute as much as all of the worlds cars in terms of co2, but a minute of googling reveals that it’s not the case.. All cars pollute around 3 times more than all ships.
That’s still a lot of pollution from ships, no doubt - but I don’t understand how two different sources can come to such different conclusions.
Ask HN: Tools that work by replacing a part of the URL?
The last few weeks I've seen a lot of tools on the front page of Hacker News which work by replacing a part of a URL by some other text. An example is the Hacker News social preview tool which was on the front page today.

All these posts on Hacker News had one thing in common: one of the top comments was someone saying that they could never remember which tools are out there. So, I've setup a Github repo[0] to keep track of the different tools out there and plan to build a browser plugin to automatically show you when you are on a website where one can be used.

Please share any tool that works by replacing part of the URL to help create the most complete list.

Thanks!

> BC Hydro’s solar payback plan is regressive: generation on grid-tied installations only allows you to pay your bill down to $0. You cannot earn money or credit for producing more than you use.

It's not regressive, it's because BC is not California and peak power consumption in the mid-late afternoon is not a thing. Paying people to feed the grid when the sun shine just doesn't make sense in that region.

I'm usually pretty cool with these success blog post, but something about this one really makes me angry. It feels like the author just consider himself to be above the people that actually lives there.
Are you referring to limiting online play time or were there other steps as well?
It's gone endemic, the inevitability is on par with the common cold; you're almost certainly going to get exposed to some variant of it.

Plus AIUI Omicron has demonstrated recombinant replication, which means we're playing a flu-like cat and mouse game with the vaccines. Nobody in their right mind would argue we have any hope of effectively vaccinating everyone against influenza.
Let's say I'm aware of it :)
Sometimes my Amazon firestick/prime video goes to crap as if my network connection was really bad. I hop on my google wifi gizmo and run a speed test and get 100-200mbps down. Then sometimes the movie starts playing just fine. It's like they want to throttle my connection unless I'm looking.
That's not what the article is saying. You buy a house as your full-time residence, live in it for a few years, and then buy another as your full-time residence. The previous one is rented out. As long as you wait a few years, the bank holding the loan on the previous house doesn't care. That original, owner-occupied rate is locked in for the life of the loan.
Other good answers are here about additional mutations occurring, making the cells no longer receptive. Another reason is that receiving CAR-T itself is quite risky. Almost everyone experiences some level of neurotoxicity, decreased cognition and more. It is my hope that these negative effects caused by the treatment will vanish, as CAR-T itself is pretty amazing.
>VAERS is an open database, it can be easily submitted to by anyone, it's not a good source of truth and may contain statistical bias.

This is 100% true, but it leaves out some context.

Prior to covid, it was thought that vaccine side effects were statistically underreported by a significant amount in VAERS. For the signal we are seeing in VAERS to be totally spurious seems highly unlikely, given this fact. It's also worth noting that effects which have a significant time-delay are unlikely to be captured.

All this is to say: yes the data are noisy, but we'd need to erase/explain away the numbers by at least an order of magnitude to erase the spike we are seeing, and that seems like a tall order.

Is "are we the baddies" really a reason? Because many other industries are having a shortage of workers right now.
at the same time, you are using the Apple network/infrastructure of iDevices that track that item for you. Every Apple device that passes your lost product helps find your product. Should they be doing that for free? Serious question.
This is mostly the correct answer, some creative Plex users with shitty cable ISP's (lookin at you Optimum) will run their connections through Cloudflare to avoid upstream throttling of video. It all looks like TLS traffic at the end of the day and since Cloudflare is probably the most common CDN, they can't apply rules to this range.

For mobile ISP's like T-Mobile, they cannot tell that video content is streamed through a VPN protocol like wireguard (but they could add large public providers to the list).

As a good rule of thumb I tell people to run speedtests from both speedtest.net (which is usually whitelisted by every provider) and fast.com (which usually shows up as Netflix video traffic) to see if 'video shaping' rules are in effect.
Funny, I've actually considered buying property in that area now that it's been cleared of houses. With a bit of planning, it should be possible to make it more resistant to another wildfire roaring through. I'd still build myself a couple of contingency plans anyway, of course, and buy good insurance.

The hard part is convincing anyone to use your open protocol, when the people who are in the best position to implement it are also the ones who would most benefit from a closed-protocol.
I wasn’t a top-level poster. I was replying to some who said Facebook is worse than smoking.

And maybe they’re right: so I’ll keep an open mind if someone posts some figures.

I’ve submitted some anecdotes to the thread but I think I clearly labeled them as such.
I would say this distinction is often just a semantics argument designed to calm the public. In common usage, it means you won't have a significant infection that becomes contagious. The vast majority of vaccines are successful at preventing that type of infection for a long time. Though there are exceptions.

By defining "infection" so broadly it loses all meaning, some officials are trying lump to the covid vaccines (which are no longer very good at preventing contagious infections) with vaccines that prevent contagious infection for decades. Obviously, the effectiveness of vaccines is nuanced and their effectiveness at preventing contagious spread is a spectrum--not a binary.

Public health officials should just be straight with us. The vaccines aren't as good as some of the vaccines we all get--like measles--but they do provide a great deal of protection. It's still basically a miracle that we got the protection we did in about a year after the virus appeared. It's a huge success.
And yet, people still act as if those things are true. It's so strange. Mental musical chairs? "It's fine if I still believe it, as long as I'm not the last one to still believe it"?
what happens if you have to move to another area they serve? Do you still have to wait for them to reactivate it, or you have to throw it out and buy a new one? Can't you just say you now live with your cousin?
They did try, that was when MS-DOS 4.0 failure took place.
Herd immunity is a function of transmission not individual infection. Faster and stronger immune responses reduce the number of viruses produced inside someone over an infection. That directly means they are less likely to infect other people.

Herd immunity is effectively a function of how infections something is. 1 case leading to 2 cases on average means you need to cut transmission in 50%. 1 case leading to 10 cases and you need to block 90% of new cases.

Critically this means vaccinated people can still be infectious as long as they infect less than 1 person on average you can reach herd immunity.
The unfortunate truth is that police have better things to spend their time on. Heck, I had a nighttime home invasion/$4k+ of goods stolen in Boston 9 months ago and as far as I can tell the police couldn’t even be bothered to get their hands on the security camera footage from a neighboring convenience store after I told them there were cameras outside.
My friend is a cop, and he loves his body cam. He has had dozens of complaints against him refuted trivially with body-cam footage (and prior to that at least one serious complaint refuted by the camera in his patrol car).

I think most of the anti-police complaints are due to selective releasing of body-cam footage. We are approaching the point where the court of public opinion swings against officers when potentially exculpatory body-cam footage is conspicuously missing; perhaps that will help assuage those concerns.
Show HN: What do you think this form builder that *updates* existing records?
Hey there,

Long time lurker here! I wanted to share and get feedback on a feature I've been building at Flowdash. We build a form builder that _updates_ existing records.

Why yet another form builder? Most form products today (e.g. google form) only create new records upon submission. That’s useful for initially capturing customer data, but what happens when you need to ask extra information down the line?

I've noticed that’s usually when my process breaks, and I have to jump over to email asking for extra information and eventually end up with long email chains with file attachments and what not.

This got me thinking: why is it I can't create a form that allows me to update existing records for the follow-up data requests. Found some hacks around (e.g. hidden field with a unique ID + zapier script to match and update), but nothing that worked seamlessly.

Anyways, that's the story of how I ended up building my own form builder, that can be triggered to update an existing record :)

Is something you've also run into in the past? how did you solve it?

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on the idea. Thanks!

Salaries for junior devs in the US start at 60k in some areas of the US.
EU has a LOT more truck volume (both in terms of per capita and percentage of freight shipped by truck). This has some complex and not so obvious implications on how long things get hauled. The smaller trucks also make it more economical to do trips between hubs vs hauling across 3000kms (which is reasonably common in the US). Smaller trailer capacity (due to EU length restrictions) and increased depot/truck distribution means a heavier distribution towards shorter hauling.
I agree that it doesn't have to be a household name but the level of investment and market expectations on Meta/FB is growth. If they have a niche (aka small) and successful metaverse, the larger market won't expect growth and that would reflect in the stock price.
I think we should thank whatever god that so far it seems we didn't end up with a Marek's disease type situation. I don't know how much of a guarantee there was about this with covid, but if the vaccine would have promoted a much more aggressive virus we could have ended up in a situation where any unvaccinated human will basically die (this happens in chickens, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease).

I sincerely hope the people who devised this vaccine know what they are doing. As far as I know (according to a Katalin Kariko inteview), the Sars-Cov-2 spike protein can't mutate too much without limiting it's effectiveness, so therefore this vaccine should theoretically work in the future.

But that Marek's disease issue is very very scary to me.
You overcomplicate things. There is plenty of liquidity to sell 120k eth; the opportunity cost of doing this is near $300 million
This is comical. Of course more than one person knows about each 0-day at NSO. Maybe they even brought it over from a different place. And they can forward it (for money or ego) to 1000 other people. There truly is no limit, once someone has committed the idea to anyone but themselves

NSO (and the smaller, anonymous companies) are famous for bringing in people from Israeli NSA (8200) or Mossad. Why? They're not just smart, they also have a bank of 0-days in their brains. Even if they're not bringing over actual code, they remember all of the 0-days they were exposed to. There is no way to stop them from "uploading" their knowledge to a new company with a 7 figure compensation package

At some point the UAE figured this out, and Dark Matter opened an office in Cyprus. Offering ex-8200 7 figures (in $) to come build cyber weapons for them, limiting their dependency on NSO and export licenses[1]. The Israeli Govt. was furious but it wasn't illegal to move abroad and work for a foreign country

Seems like half the time it's the blood of the lobbyist or spook who didn't realize how heavy that suitcase full of benjamins was and the other half of the time it's the blood of whoever got trampeled when the moral panic turned into a moral stampede.

Cheap quips like "regulations are written in blood" are just high brow ways of saying "because I said so".

As the top level commenter points out, these sorts of messages coming from untrustworthy entities who's best interest only aligns with yours in passing are not held in high regard unless they come with some sort of justification since the entities in question (be they oracle or the EPA) do not have the reputation for honesty that they can rely on. If there's really a hazard, communicate the hazard and don't lie about it. The vast majority of the regulation of which you speak is far closer to the "no user serviceable parts inside" end of the spectrum than the "warning, landmines" end and that is why it's not taken seriously.

IPFS doesn't use a blockchain nor crypto. Conceptually the Internet is a set of protocols that together map (data-identifier, provider) -> bytes (e.g. GET https://<provider>/<data-identifier>). Similarly IPFS is a set of protocols that map (data-identifier) -> bytes.
I think people are also very unhappy with latency. The only way to get low latency is to keep things local, and for devices to work together, directly. But, people still want remote access.

As long as this does not cause an exodus from the App Store and I am forced to start paying for apps directly, I am fine with this.

But a strong benefit to the App Store for me is being able to manage and cancel my subscriptions from a central place. No going through 5 screens, no being forced to call, no any of that crap.

I can already see apps refusing to carry through the App Store so they can control more, and I am not looking forward to that.

Well, San Francisco cut their police budget by $6m... From $668 million. And they increased funding to other parts of the justice apparatus. Like and increase to juvenile programs and the district attorney's office. You'll be hard pressed to find even the most liberal cities in America have actually cut police funding in any significant way.

Microsoft already had a multiuser, multitasking platform -- Xenix. They had an internal initiative called XenDOS that was intended to make Xenix and DOS more compatible with one another, allowing for development of programs source-compatible with both. That's where all the Unixisms in DOS 2.0 and later came from. DOS 2.0 had a few that later versions didn't -- like a configuration option to select / or - as the switch flag character and full compatibility with use of / as a path separator.

XenDOS was likely abandoned when it was found that third-party programs had started assuming direct hardware access in the DOS 1.x days, making transition to a new DOS framework difficult.

Windows 9x had full PMT and decent memory protection. It was a separate kernel that ran alongside DOS and populated DOS memory data structures to keep the two systems in sync. It could have been a "home user" successor kernel, but the writing was definitely on the wall at Microsoft that NT with its more robust architecture was the future, as far back as the mid-90s, with 9x acting as a transitional phase.
