Bi-hormonal was always something I thought they should do but didn't know anyone was actually trying it! Thanks for the link.

Although in theory you've screwed up if you need to bolus glucagon. Also, I can't imagine it feels all that great to be getting exogenous glucagon....

But from a safety perspective, having the device have a reserve tap of glucagon ready to deploy allows the algorithm to deploy full insulin dosages and true corrections boluses, versus just tip-toeing around a HIGH with a temp basal.
Platforms can be both anonymous (or more usually, pseudonymous) AND moderated.

Schopenhauer's commentary on authorship and intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivations should be far more widely read.
I do the same, with Nextcloud though, but I doubt SkyMarshal would consider that as an enhancement. He, and others, sync it manually and "offline" for security reasons.
It's a hard problem. Texas has 27 million residents. And 2 Senators.
If they spent an hour a day talking to constituents and spent 15 minutes with each one, it would take 16,875 years to talk to each one, once.
I like using switches and my body too. I mostly like the latter at the beach though, so last year when we had to drive 70km back from the coast because the kid next door thought it would be fun to bounce a football off a window, I caved.
Replaced the old school hard-wired 110dB neighbourhood-bothering alarm (home insurance policy requirements suck) with one I can set/unset/silence/check via internet or SMS.

Since then I've added a handful of sensors, switches and pass-through sockets. Very much cheaper than upgrading the entire heating system, long term fuel efficiency gains aside. I don't need to plan/remember to turn off things or change thermostats, I just need to set the alarm "away" and that's done.

I have 3 rules: everything has to work with the same app, I do not talk to my house, and everything has to work acceptably if there's an outage. If it's not helping with security or tangible energy savings I probably don't want it.
It sounds like to me that there are three types of people:

* Layman who reuses passwords unless a techie friend convinces them to use a PW manager.

* HN user who either uses a SAAS password manager or sets up their own system to solve the issue of syncing a password store across devices.

* Those who actually have state level secrets or living under an oppressive regime and thereby don't trust even the networks they connect to.

Just an observation; not making any statements. But if I were to make one, it's to know your own threat level and find the security vs convenience compromise that works for you, and educate your friends & family.
>> Given that most colleges are state-run or non-profits, they can't just increase prices and dump the proceeds into profits

The school I went to in the 90's has been on a massive building spree the last 20 years. Many large new buildings. The number of students has nearly doubled in the same time so it's not a complete waste. They even built a new clock tower with funding from some rich donor.
Though I am reasonably active on HN, I actually have no idea what you mean. Could you go into more detail about 'the game' and what one should worry about?
Some quotations I took from Columbo, to try to gain some insight into his methods:

"I like to get that background information very precise if I can."

"You know what it's like; you get hold of half of something, and you can't get a hold of the other half."

"Tell me about these movie stars. What do they do? They drink a lot?" (great open-ended question)

"Do you think you could just talk about the suture, sort of describe it in so many words?"

"It's just one of those things that gets into my head and keeps rolling around in there like a marble."

"There is something else sir, but I don't know where all that leads to just yet...I'll just wander around sir. Thank you very much."

"When people do something for the first time, detectives always want to know why."
No he didnt. These type of fake child genius articlea are harmful.
What I find funny about comments like these is that there is clearly a subtle criticism of the very behavior that ultimately pays many of our salaries.

People are encouraged to over spend at ever instance of their life. You go to buy a house, the mortgage company will try to get you spend to the limit of your ability. Every service out there today offers 0% loans to encourage consumer spending so that you can live outside of our means. People are blasted with ads each day encouraging them buy more and more.

It's easy to criticize and make some moral argument about spending, but most of us spend a huge amount of our brain power trying to get people to do more of these things and are paid well for it.

Nearly my whole career I've worked in some part of the marketing world, and when I haven't I worked in e-commerce. Every penny I've made has been trying to get people to spend more and buy more. I worked for a startup that ran ads encouraging people to buy our product rather than have any saving at all. In all my career the concept of "hey what if this leads consumers to an unhealthy spending habits" would be laughed out of the room if brought up.

Now maybe you are one of the few that work in tech and don't either directly attempt to suck money from consumers or spend your day helping other companies doing that, but for the bulk of us it's ridiculous to wave your finger at the spending habits that we, directly or indirectly, work hard every day to encourage.
As a web developer who has never used anything except locally-hosted databases, can someone explain what kind of system actually produces billions or trillions of files which each need to be individually stored in a low-latency environment?

And couldn't that data be stored in an actual database?
IPv6 suffers the classic "we didn't think of thaaaaat" syndrome.

We will probably use IPv4 for decades more. It's going to be even slower with constrained semiconductor pipeline.

That's why we have squatters and expensive IPv4 blocks.
When those requirements change, and they can very, very quickly, you need to rewrite your tests--fine if you don't mind spending that time.
I did wonder this too (with some sadness )

I heard of some people who created a mask with a transparent strip to allow for this.

Also remember South Korea using masks that are transparent during election time.

Not sure about the traction any of these have got though.
Those Dr. Phil 4 minute sponsors for Solitaire Grand Harvest kill me just thinking of it with those "live demos". I find it absolutely hilarious, yet simultaneously depressing to think how many people watching him will fall into a trap like and proceed to burn their money on - which is assuredly an unfathomable amount given his show's size and the duration of the ads.

I also have no clue why those apps work (aside from the vague notion it triggers our lizard brains to gamble even with fake money), but I'd sure recommend you listening to the linked talk if the subject entertains you, I had found it really interesting and the speaker is a great story teller (IMO anyway).
Happens to me on an Intel MBP when I use the trackpad at the same time I have a wireless (dongle) mouse connected.
> The benefits of having a significant, as large as possible, portion of everyone being at least somewhat educated on a wide range of basic ideas (not facts so much) isn't quantifiable.

True. So you support the policy of giving every citizen 2 billion$ and 40 years to dedicate to nothing but studies. Since obviously society as a whole will necessarily benefit much more than that cost right?
Or can we agree that any resonable estimate of the benefit to society of education will at least put it less than that level? If so, then you do believe it is qanrifiable, you just don’t like the conclusion of his estimate of the value because you want it to be higher than he calculate it being.
This isn't a bug report. It's a Mozilla KB article about why they changed the search engine preference that you made.
I'm glad you're optimistic but I've seen too many nefarious things from Mozilla to be as optimistic as you. Mozilla could have included a copy of the contract that they are trying to get search engines to agree too, but they didn't. So much for transparency.
Applications trust /dev/urandom to be secure. If your scenario ends up being true, then instead of /dev/random acting like /dev/urandom, /dev/urandom should act like /dev/random since it is supposed to be secure, and we're back to having no distinction between the devices.
Not strictly true.

Those whose focus is overtly offensive and oppressive speech, however ...

Does Japan not have a fair use clause in their copyright law? This seems like a really clear cut case of fair use. But this is japan, they arrested a schoolgirl for a JS prank [1].

I've not seen any lineups, and as most can only draw $1k per day, I doubt that adds up to anything the banks should worry about enough to shut it all down. This was more likely the result of a single point of failure failing.
Did you even read the linked article? Mozilla is dropping some engines from Firefox (presumably because they stopped paying), so they have to change the preference back to the default because the previous value will no longer be valid.
I don't know anything about this industry but I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I have always wondered how the narration actually works, what the job is like. Sometimes I can hear the changes and it opened up a whole world of me wondering what that process looks like. This was an excellent description, thank you!

A charitable way of framing it would be "Up to 42% of Americans making 6 figures are so confident in the job market, the economy, etc. that they don't even bother saving money at all because they're confident they can handle an unexpected expense through other means than paying for it with cash savings." I think the 61% stat is kind of so broad as to be useless. A better way of understanding the issue is by breaking down how Americans claim to be able to deal with an unexpected expense [0].

Facebook follows the rules because they are a big target, others not so much...
Most high-accuracy systems incorporate an onboard calibration target of some kind. Could be a gas cell (either sealed or consumable) or a special lamp etc. Or you buy an instrument that comes with calibration coefficients from the manufacturer. For example if you sell spectrometers, you put in the grating and manually adjust it for the desired range. This is the case for cheaper instruments (eg Ocean Optics) as well as expensive bespoke systems which are all hand built. Even if the grating and mirror mounts are fixed, the tolerance in manufacturing is rarely good enough that calibration isn't required. It's way cheaper to do some relatively low accuracy machining and then just epoxy all the screws down.

In this case you'd probably calibrate each sensor to a standard chemical sample and then use the calibration output. You could train on that, not the raw samples and then you have a model that works on all devices.
I love this. Thank you for this.
Last I heard it does not work: https://axbom.com/embed-youtube-videos-without-cookies
Yeah, it's weird, their linked support article says you can add any website with opensearch but that's not mentioned in this one. I'd be surprised if search engines that were available before this update either didn't support opensearch or broke their Firefox integration so hard that they needed to be removed. The way the article is worded makes me think this is not a technical issue, though.
"toggle every existing switch from your phone"

Home automation is not intuitive. It turns out that toggling every existing switch from your phone is not an ideal goal. Pulling out your phone to use your home automation gets annoying fast.

The best home automation is a system that works without intervention. A good analogy is a digital thermostat vs a traditional analog one. A digital thermostat has the ability to change temperature targets depending on time of day and day of the week.

The best type of switches are the ones that work without intervention. The most common is the sunset porch lights and the sunrise alarm clocks. Other good ones are humidity sensors that trigger bathroom fans, TV/stereo/console that turns on when you pick up your game controller, floor lights that trigger only at night when it senses movement, lights that change color temperature and lumens depending on time of day, etc.
Also half of those people think that a bailout of the middle class would be communism
A local password manager becomes a "cloud" one trivially if you just stick the database file on a synced drive. You don't have to trust the drive's host at all since it's just an encrypted blob.

KeePass makes this easy, at least in theory, though I was never happy with the phone app.
The ethical and boring axes are orthogonal.

I didn't expect to read that ethical and boring are aligned during Black History Month (US).
"I didn't call him Hitler, I just brought up a bunch of other people calling him Hitler" is still plainly a baity Godwining (via the rule of goats, if you will) and people sensibly nuked your comment. You can talk about hot subjects, just not like that.
> When macOS resumes from 0% battery, it's stuck in 30Hz mode

This sounds like detailed, testable data; I wonder how much effort it is to query this in code at resume just to confirm?
It could have a myriad causes. On the video is over bluetooth, so a noisy radio environment, or some weird glitch on the bluetooth controller.

If it happens on the trackpad, it could be a defect on the trackpad itself, or something overloading the USB hub it's attached to.

It could also be a sign of swapping, too many interrupts, badly prioritized processes, etc.

A bug in adaptive refresh rate might do it.

A process messing with events (such as an app listening on mouse moves or an antivirus).

It may not be a single bug, but just a symptom of something else.
I already live in the linux world for personal computing...But i still have a separate old, windows 10 machine if an occasion calls for windows-only function/app...but i intend on using windows only in a VM-like scenario within my linux machine...So, do you know if running windows 11 as a VM will require this MS account requirement?
I sort of fall into the second category, except I don't sync passwords across devices or even store them at all. I generate them on the fly with [1].

You must live in a low CoL state? I'm easily above that, 10k for state taxes and paying 20k in interest a year isn't that much.
As a niche site, sure, it has users. It died as a competitive social network, which is the context that I'm responding to this article in, since it distinctly asks in the headline whether Tumblr is heading back to "the top".
If you're looking for a solution that takes data privacy and security seriously you should look into Sprig (sprig.com). We work with many customers in the FinTech space, such as Square, who have extremely high data privacy standards.

Huh. The headline makes it sound like this guy did nothing wrong and his arrest should be cause for a free speech protest. But TFA reveals that that this guy would just pirate a movie and then make a super cut of it that pretty much just contained the core plot. Despite the claim that part of the problem is that Japan has no fair use provisions, I don't think fair use really covers this.
HN is not for directly communicating with single people. HN is for conversations with a large community. By commenting you can discover and/or influence the collective opinions of a large number of people. But that only works while the community's attention is on a discussion. Once the community moves on, there's no point in continuing a discussion here.

Move 1:1 conversations to another service. Many people put contact information in their profiles, and others can often be found with a little searching. I've had a few people contact me about HN conversations over email and twitter and it's been a generally positive experience. Maybe HN should do more to encourage people to include contact information in their profiles so that this can happen more often.
Like someone else here said it, universal healthcare isn't some magical talisman that makes all your health issues go away as long as you pay your taxes.

Sure, if you have life threatening condition that needs to be addressed ASAP or else you'll die, you usually get taken care of without it ruining you financially like in the US would, but since the public system is massively understaffed and underfunded, then many health issues which are not life threatening but still impact your quality of life, can end up being out of packet, which sucks, as most Europeans aren't exactly rolling in disposable income (but at least they're not heavily in debt either).

For example, in Austria, the amount of free care you get in case of an accident depend on where it happened. If it's at work, or on your way to/from work, then everything is fully covered, but if you get injured in your spare time, then only life threatening stuff is covered, for the rest, quality of life issues, you have to pay out of packet to have them fixed or have private accident insurance. Basically the public healthcare covers as little as to get you able-bodied to get back to work again, that's it. If you also want to feel 100% again, then you gotta pay up out of pocket.

Since medical school is basically free, Austria has 3x the doctors per capita than the US, yet waiting times for specialists or some procedures are far longer. Why is that, you ask? Because most doctors here don't like being burned out in the understaffed public system, so once they served their "minimum sentence" in the public system to cover their "debt" for their public education, they go into private practice, which means that despite having 3x the doctors than the US, the public system is in a perpetual shortage of personnel.

The state just doesn't have enough money to pay for every heath issue for everyone, but only the gravest of heath issues, and with our ageing population and stagnating economy, the situation is getting worse by the year. I heard Sweden, Finland and other rich EU countries have similar issues in their public system.
Google's cached version of pages can be another useful option, if you click on the ellipses to the right of a search result's address and then "cached" in the bottom right hand corner of the "About this result" box.

If wages are rising less than living costs then wages are falling.
My experience agrees with the GP, orobinson. I used to work at a company that wanted us to TDD everything. Everyone working there knew this from the time of interview, so it’s not like any of us were unwilling to give it a shot.
When it came to adding a feature to a Rails app, the interface is pretty well defined, it’s going to serve up HTML and js, it’s got to fit on the existing structure of the page or conform to a design.

Adjacent parts of our company were working on a Heroku clone PaaS, and I got some time on a team building an auto scaler service to spin up and down other services. We didn’t know how our service would kill and start other services. Tests were changing as much as production code while we worked on that. A lot of our work was spiking to see how our service fit into the ecosystem of other services.
I would say it's also hard to get buy in because you can't really describe/comprehend "presence" without experiencing it, and 2d videos or VR play don't do any favors at all.

The amount of times I've heard "I can't imagine the eyestrain from having a street that close to your face" convinced me that many people are very confused about all of this.
My SO is a designer for a very large well known tech multinational. It amuses me when she has to design charts and presentations, and comes asking questions with a childlike naivite towards pretty deep technical stuff. Also makes me think of the other designers without the benefit of sharing the house with someone with a bit of knowledge and how their work probably ends up more confusing than anything.
You want capital gains on land appreciation. We want to encourage investment into new developments.
Goosing asset prices which are only owned by the richest 55% of Americans, and almost entirely by the top 1%, in order to benefit the lower and middle classes is the same old trickle down economics which had led us to the massive wealth gap we have today.

The solution is to let asset bubbles deflate and do more targeted fiscal stimulus, less monetary stimulus, and use tax policy, not artificially low rate government borrowing, to pay for it. Our government is increasingly ineffective due to political divisions and ideological puritanism so I understand why the fed feels it needs to act but I feel like monetary policy is too broad of a brush that generally only benefits the moneyed elites.
Hi Ryan, nice to meet you here. I have lots of respect for what your team is able to accomplish in terms of being able to fundraise at crazy speed and valuation, and building a user research product that gets a few large companies to try.

I've actually talked to a lot of startup founders, product leaders, and even current customers of Sprig, and learned that most didn't want to put video chats inside of their app because of how disruptive it is to the user experience. Zoom, UserTesting.com, etc. have a lot better ways of doing this and they've been doing it for years successfully. We think you're really serving big brands user research teams well because they really need video customer chats and because of our different approach to who we serve and our design philosophy, we don't yet see it a priority to add video.

We did months of customer research before building 1Flow - if your users are truly happy, we wouldn't exist.

With regards to the UI "clone" issue, I couldn't agree. There are already many tools such as Pendo, Appcues, Survicate, etc. that are using this approach, but as I had explained in my post, it is really about providing an experience both software makers and their users will love - at least that is the goal of 1Flow. Thank you for brining this to our attention, with regard to UI, I think we definitely can do a better job! :)

Our response rates are based on true data we see. We are a smaller startup trying to serve other startups of the world, and we are not serving enterprise customers at our stage. So I couldn't join you in making this a number competition, and also not interested in. All I can say is your 90% seems one-off, but I understand how things work and wouldn't want to take you up on this.

Finally I want to say that we are both trying to innovate in a space traditionally dominated by players like Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Medallia, InMoment, and 999 other survey tools. So I'd LOVE to stay connected with you and support each other however we can.

Kai

P.S.
As founders we are all bit scared about competition, I understand. At 1Flow, we've tried our best to focus on actually delivering value to our users.

- AirBnB wasn't the first home sharing site

- Stripe wasn't the first payment platform

What really matters at the end of the day is finding product market fit and execute well..
This is just my 2 cents.
