No, I agree. My other comment was limited the context of talking about that data only (that 80 percent of women fight over 20% of the men on data sites), not your data. You have promiscuity rates separated by sex, and changes of them over time. The other comment doesn't, and only taking the other comment's data by itself isn't enough, imo, to draw any meaningful conclusions.

Fair enough, the problem with Reddit downvotes is dwarfed by the fact that Reddit's "etiquette" is to promote witty and sharp one liners, compared to deep and thoughtful comments, and it is the opposite of HN, where you can have the witty but shallow takedowns but the amount of thoughtful comments is above any other discussion forum this size.

A good starting place for assessing is on communication-related things like: do we regularly just talk with our kid? How does that go? Are we able to talk about anything it depth or is it just superficial "how was school today" stuff? How much of our interactions are tense or even contentious?

If communication is in a decent state, then another thing to look at is the rules for the kids, like: have we really given our kid a chance to weigh in on things or do we just dictate? As a parent you do sometimes just have to put your foot down, but there's a world of difference between shutting down pushback with "I'm the parent and that's the way it is" and a collaborative attitude and an open conversation with real listening and sharing of viewpoints/concerns and, where appropriate, some compromising. Are our rules based on solid principles or just things we pulled out of the air?

The article mentioned that the kids were addicted to social media. If it's an actual addiction, then that probably needs to be addressed with professional help. If it's more a compulsion/habit, then good communication is again key. Does the kid agree it's excessive but isn't sure how to reign it in? Or does the kid genuinely think it's just fine? Gotta figure that out first, but in either case, jamming the signal to their phones doesn't really address the problem.

That's...very much not true.

For certain torts related to the vehicle you would be liable, but unless you actively and with requisite mental state engaged in the crime, you would not be liable for a crime.

As parent, I think China may have the right idea. From my perspective, I think kids shouldn't have social media until late teens especially stuff like instagram. Go through an average 14 year old girls instagram feed and it is easy to see how eating disorders are increasing.

The other thing is if every other kid in the class has social media, I will allow it because it important to be involved in the social aspect of school. So, China has the right idea because it is forced to be a social norm of not having social media and I think the whole community and individuals will be healthier because of it.

They do something with limiting the amount of video games you can play, I think they are on to something there.

I never see anything like that happening here in the USA though
That is unlikely. How are you measuring calorie burn? You're probably overestimating.

As a point of comparison, an average size man would have to run at a speed of at least 11 mph (18 km/h) in order to burn that many calories in 30 minutes. Not impossible, but well beyond what most of us can manage.
Show HN: Mitigating the spread of respiratory infections in indoor spaces
Hello HN,

Almost 15 years into being a (rather quiet) user of HN, I am thrilled to write my first Show HN post!

Early in the pandemic, we looked to devise a system that would drastically reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 when people gathered in a room. The system would need to disinfect the air rapidly to keep the concentration of virions in the space low enough so the risk of cross infection would be drastically cut [1]. It became clear that an effective system would need to draw air away from the breathing space so that the exhaled air from an infected individual would not impinge upon an uninfected receptor via proximal exposure from breathing jets [2] or build up the virion concentration in the room. The air drawn away from the breathing space would then need to be fed into a disinfection stage to inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The system would need to work at a high volumetric flow rate to draw as large a volume of air from the breathing space yet be quiet and unobtrusive. Next, the air drawn up and away would need to be sufficiently disinfected so that the air would be safe to inhale when returned to the breathing space. Fortunately, solutions for both problems existed – Large diameter overhead fans operating in upflow mode would achieve the first objective. If we could uniformly expose all the air drawn up by the fan with a high enough dose of UV-C [3] [4], we would achieve the second objective.
This is what we came up with (https://luvsystems.com/assets/hello_halo.jpg ) and a simplified exploded view of the halō (https://luvsystems.com/assets/halo_exploded_view.png). A video of it in operation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4vHqU12deE

The halō draws 2000 cfm from the breathing space. All that air is directed into a toroidal chamber containing a UV-C light ring with a total (UV-C) flux of over 100 W. The air speed and flux are calibrated to deliver a dose to the air that results in a continuous 99.8% inactivation (“2.7 log reduction”) of coronaviruses. The “log-reduction” for other airborne pathogens depends on the pathogens’ UV-C susceptibility factor [5].

Finally, for those in the Los Angeles area, we are happy to do an in-person Show HN. Send me an email!

[1] Research suggests between O(1)-O(3) virions need to be inhaled to trigger an infection. The number would vary depending on the pathogen and variant.

[2] Various researchers have analyzed respiratory jet dynamics with unmasked subjects such as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3613375/ and https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-japan-supercompute-idUSKBN26Z0PI

New Reddit requires continual tapping in, and on the back button, to read a conversation tree, with painful amounts of page reloads and latency.

That's designed in. It's not an implementation problem.
> The devil’s advocate take on this outcome would be that the person cooperated with the FBI to provide evidence and/or testify against bigger fish in the case in exchange for being let off the hook. If this was the case, we’d probably see some headlines about an Amazon-related criminal charges in the coming months or years. Although in our case the released documents were full of “Company 1” and “Individual 2” anonymity, so someone (usually a journalist) would have to figure out the connection.

I find even that devil's take to be problematic, because that sounds a lot like coerced testimony. It calls into question both the morality of doing so, and the authenticity of any testimony produced.

It almost begs for comparisons to the mafia. There's not a huge gap between "testify against this person or we'll seize your home and business" and "don't testify against this person or we'll burn your home and business down". Other than that the government makes the rules, and they've decided it's okay when they do it.
The quality on HN has dropped massively in the last 5 years. It’s still better than Reddit but it’s definitely not where it once was.

I also think the peer moderation on here is broken. Again, it’s better than Reddit but I still think HN can improve things. I have a few ideas on how that could work but I don’t think there’s any incentive to change the status quo (and I sympathise with why too).

I think any blanket policy that just apply the same rule to everybody is just lazy policy. A less lazy approach is provide the capability (through e.g. ISP or device manufacturer) to do so to parents/guardians and let them make the choice on an individual level.

Even for education, its much better to have options for home school or special needs school, than it is to just blanketly say all children must go to a regular school like every other child.
Ah, makes sense -- thanks for clarifying.
Yes. The point is that if you try doing that for links far in the past, you'll often get a dead page.

By "dead" I mean different content than the one that was submitted to HN at the time. So you need a way of specifying the date.

There's a way to do that, though, which is interesting. My edit above points out a comment to get it.

The Bloomberg story linked from the article is probably more impartial and offers a bit more perspective.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-03-15/the-st...

In a nutshell, the Amazon employee in the article was accused of taking kickbacks for commercial real estate transactions, Amazon filed a lawsuit and the FBI raided the house and froze assets. And over a year later, no criminal case has been filed and none of the real estate transactions were renegotiated or broken.
To be honest, I was pretty discouraged by the other comments here. I know many friends here, who are like me, and work 40 hours per week on paper, but in reality they have something to do maybe 50-75% of that time (sometimes even less). Since we are all remote now, that time is free time. Based on the comments here, in the US tech, the standard seems to be 40 hours a week minimum, plus more if you have any kind of responsibility.

I have a family and, while I like the idea of getting a bit more money, working 70 hour weeks even occasionally and having 2-4 weeks worth of holidays per years sounds worse than horrible to me. Now I have time for family, hobbies and work, all three. In an environment that makes me work around the year, basically without breaks, 40-70 hours a week would force me to pick only one or two out of the three (and one of them would have to be work).

You can’t be serious.

I think docker grew out of lxc initially(to make lxc easier to use), for now, lxc is light weight but it is not portable, docker can run on all OSes, I think that's the key difference: cross-platform apps. LXC remains to be a linux-only thing.
This article is not a scientific paper. It's describing some effects that are observed in a lab.

The world is not so binary as you make it out to be. The article is not forming a "new truth". Of course elite athletes are eating a lot. Nobody was questioning that. Neither do anecdotes stating "I trained my butt off, it worked" negate what's in the article.

The topic is complex, too complex to be pressed into a simple slogan. The article is not "controversial" to anybody remotely knowledgeable about biology.

You can question that the world is complex, but that won't make it less complex.

I went to Egypt a few months ago and was met with incredibly warm people, with perhaps even an excess of hospitality. Yes, you do get charged extra for being a tourist at the tourist spots. But that's only a small part of the country. That said, I am Indian and was met as an Egyptian most of the time (people would start speaking to me in Arabic 70% of the time), so I had the benefit of fitting in well. The delicious food, the serene Nile, the magnificent range of art, the tea shops, and the people - the country is worth a visit even if you aren't into ancient Egyptian stuff. Travel is always a risk, so there's that.

I agree with him partly, and at least two other users voiced the same concern, one albeit in an abrasive manner. It's still the best place to have a debate though.

There are some topics that are very predictable, some of them are noticeably left issues, some things more loosely connected. Crypto, Tesla, Brave, Facebook, Israel, etc. are all subjects you'll most likely get heavily downvoted and probably flagged if you don't view the common (to here) opinion.

HN is not immune to group think and talking points get parroted here often, dissenting views flagged and downvoted. But not always, it's definitely nowhere near Reddit bad.

Like I said at the top, it's the best place on the internet to have a discussion, but not perfect, and seemingly getting a worse slowly, the way it always seems to go.
> Asynchronous workflows should be the default. Interruptions are almost universally bad,

Digest auth itself isn't very good though really, even ignoring the obvious problems of not using HTTPS.

In the most secure configuration of digest auth, the server stores MD5(username:realm:password), and to authenticate, the server sends server_nonce, and the client sends back client_nonce and MD5(MD5(username:realm:password):server_nonce:client_nonce). The nonces are used to avoid a replay attack. The server MD5s its stored hash with server_nonce:client_nonce and checks if it matches against what the client sent.

But if those stored hashes get leaked, an attacker can use them to authenticate. You're in a better position than storing plaintext passwords, because the underlying cleartext probably won't be leaked (they're hashed with MD5, so it's not certain), so your users' credentials can't be used in future credential stuffing attacks, etc. But the attacker still has their credentials on your site.

In the other configurations of digest auth, the server ends up storing plaintext passwords (or reversably-encrypted passwords, which is just as bad).

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication#D...

Using HTTPS + Basic Auth is far more secure, and (arguably) easier at this point.

there's a curious fact that i see getting overlooked in every one of these discussion. The US - for all its faults, remains a society capable of deep change, confronting its own crimes and one that is fundamentally built around inclusion. all this is to say that the problems of US society as documented and that one is free to read about them if one chooses.

This is not the case in the Arab world, for example. I grew up there and have seen horrors of which there is no documented evidence.

You are correct - despite all its flaws, the USA remains a magnet for talent from around the world.
I think I agree with your message, though I see how it can be misinterpreted in this context.

As a society, I think US is not doing enough to support parenting - paternity leave, work hours, health system, and myriad other ways to provide support and help and assistance and relief to parents. I'm in Canada, I'm lucky and blessed and privileged, my wife is getting 18 months parental leave, and parenting is STILL hard. I cannot imagine trying to do it in USA :O

(If your post on the other hand is that you cannot win with the kids, you might need to elaborate to make your point clearer:)

Compassion much? What's the point of throwing them in jail? I can't see anything but a net negative for society. I'm having trouble understanding that desire for punishment.

That's true, but at the same time let's not downplay the ways that self-custodial crypto may be a bulwark against authoritarian governments. I am not labelling Canada an authoritarian government by any means, but widespread self-custodial crypto would have made their response (freezing bank accounts) far harder to pull off.
Well, it's meant to be broad-based. Like if your friend called you, saying "Can I borrow your fire extinguisher; my Internet isn't working", you can say "Whatever you're doing, it's likely to be wrong" and you're most likely correct! Of course, since that is a two-way channel you would ask for clarification after.

That second part is unavailable here.

Interview several firms that have done deals in your space/vertical, and where this will be a meaningful transaction to the firm/md - and ask them for valuation guidance (e.g. what they think they think they can sell your company for) you’ll generally find they’ll be in a similar range (e.g. 4-5x ARR) that should set expectations for the sale process.

Deal structure can be worth ~20%+ of purchase price so don’t be myopic on focusing on price only. Trying to get the last dollar usually leads to broken deals and unhappy people on both sides, but you want to make sure that you’re getting a good market read on value for your business.

Make sure you trust the team/have chemistry, you’ll go through quite a bit together. Also make sure you have M&A counsel - don’t let your commercial counsel handle this (you wouldn’t let your internist perform open heart surgery on you…)
